Fox’s Gutfeld slams NDP convention, says US should ‘build wall around Northern border’

Greg Gutfeld, a Fox News host, has come out shaming the NDP convention for its equity cards — among other things.

Last week, the NDP held their annual convention to pick its party leader — and with it came some viral clips, particularly featuring delegates’ use of equity cards.

Trump defends decision to attack Iran, says conflict is ‘nearing completion’

Facing economic and political headwinds a month after launching a surprise attack on Iran, President Donald Trump defended the increasingly unpopular conflict Wednesday night, but assured the nation that the military activity in the Middle East was “nearing completion.”

In a speech from the White House, Trump said the United States was on track to complete all of its military objectives “shortly, very shortly” but first there would be a period of military buildup: “We’re going to hit them extremely hard,” he said. “Over the next two to three weeks, we’re going to bring them back to the Stone Age.”

Women Who Opposed the Vote for Women

100 Women: The female protesters against giving women the vote

Popular perception has it that just over a century ago, women in the Anglosphere fought long and hard for the right to vote. To gain that right, according to the prevailing story, they battled contempt and misogyny from entitled men.

An examination of the history of this period in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries shows that both the villains and the heroines of the story are false constructs employed to whip up anger at men and faith in the goodness of feminism.

The reality, as always, is more interesting and fraught.

Minimum wage increase is not enough for life in Toronto, agency says

Ontario minimum wage workers are getting a cost of living boost that will bring their earnings to $17.95 an hour next October but that won’t pay bills in Toronto, says the Ontario Living Wage Network.

While an increase is appreciated, most workers earning basic wages in Toronto region need another $9.25 to reach the $27.20 living wage required for survival, said the network’s spokesperson Craig Pickthorne.

President Trump Addresses The Nation

‘I came, I saw, I conquered:’ Trump set to claim victory in Iran at primetime address

President Donald Trump will use a primetime Oval Office address Wednesday night to declare that the month-long war in Iran is winding down, against a backdrop of spiking oil prices and increasingly dismal poll numbers.

The president has telegraphed that message in interviews, social media posts and public comments over the past 24 hours, laying the groundwork for a speech that is expected to claim that all military objectives have been met, according to six people familiar with the planning and granted anonymity to speak candidly. He also intends to harshly scapegoat NATO allies for the biggest unresolved matter of the war, Iran’s ongoing restrictions of shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Britain Will Not Be Ruling the Waves Again Under This Political Class

It was a painful wake-up call for Britain. When, last month, the United States and Israel launched an air assault against Iran, it wasn’t long before French President Emmanuel Macron announced he would be sending a powerful armada to the Eastern Mediterranean. The justification for the impressive deployment, which involves about half of France’s entire surface fleet and the country’s sole aircraft carrier, the magnificent Charles de Gaulle, was a series of Iranian drone attacks against EU member state Cyprus. Yet it wasn’t really Cyprus itself that was attacked, but the sovereign British territory of RAF Akrotiri. Nevertheless, even as Paris dispatched a potent naval force, Starmer’s Britain announced only the deployment of HMS Dragon, a Type 45 class destroyer — to add insult to injury, the British vessel malfunctioned en route to Cyprus. What is happening with the once-feared Royal Navy?

More than 67,000 firearms declared under Liberals’ controversial firearms ‘buy back’ program

Lying Liberal DEI MP

OTTAWA — The federal government says more than 67,000 guns have been registered to be turned in for compensation under its program for banned weapons.

Public Safety Canada announced the figure on Wednesday, one day after the compensation window, which opened in mid-January, closed for owners of the more than 2,500 makes and models of firearms the federal Liberals have prohibited since 2020.

We Really Can Get Rid of the United Nations Now

Hypocrisy — and amnesia — continues to reign among the kleptocrats in Turtle Bay.

If ever there was any doubt as to the utterly worthless character of the United Nations — the universe’s premier wretched hive of scum and villainy — that was put to bed on Wednesday of last week.

The end, not that there shouldn’t already have been an end, came when the successor regime to the West African Ashanti Kingdom — that being the nation of Ghana — proposed a resolution indicating that the trans-Atlantic slave trade from the 15th through the 19th centuries was the worst sin against humanity, and called for reparations to be paid.

Mulcair: Avi Lewis has big ideas. In politics, that’s not enough

For dreams to become reality, you first must get elected. That’s going to be a challenge for the NDP’s new leader.

The NDP put its best foot forward at last weekend’s convention, and the opening speech by Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was a highlight.

Deeply experienced and wise, Kinew represents the best of the NDP. He shone in both official languages, very much at ease on his home turf in Winnipeg.

His speech contained a strong message of hope, as one would expect.

Is “White Supremacy” Causing an “Epidemic” of Transgender Murders?

The Human Rights Campaign thinks so, but its own data undermine that narrative.

Today, on International Transgender Day of Visibility, advocates will likely claim that transgender people are facing an “epidemic” of deadly violence driven by white supremacy, transphobia, and politicization by the far Right. For more than a decade, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has pushed this narrative, publishing annual “Epidemic of Violence” reports documenting transgender homicide victims in the United States. Relying on the HRC’s analysis, activists, presidents, members of Congress, the American Medical Association, celebrities, journalists, and scholars have repeated the HRC’s claims so often that for many they feel like established facts.

Stellantis in Talks to Make Chinese EVs at Idled Canadian Plant

Stellantis NV is discussing options for building electric vehicles in Canada with its Chinese partner, Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co., according to people familiar with the matter, a sign of how quickly the auto industry is being reshaped after Canada opened the door to companies from the world’s largest car market.

The talks are in an early stage, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing information that’s not public. If the companies proceed, it would be the first major Chinese auto investment in Canada since Prime Minister Mark Carney reached an agreement with President Xi Jinping in January to reduce tariffs on Chinese-made EVs.

A Free World Opportunity

In the turmoil of revolutions and the fall of empires, history sometimes seems to extend a helping hand: the opportunity, in this instance, to end at least one expansionist movement that has been threatening the West. The possible destruction of the mullahs’ regime in Iran would not merely represent a geopolitical victory; it would mark the dawn of an era in which the idea that all human societies must be governed by Allah’s law and not by men could finally be escorted back to where it came from.
