The Super-Rich Prepare for the Apocalypse

The survival bunkers of the elites are a sign that they are suffering from the same fears that grip so many ordinary people in a world coming apart at the seams.

Several years ago, actress Aubrey Plaza informed Conan O’Brien that she had purchased helicopter lessons for her boyfriend. “He never showed an interest in flying,” she deadpanned, “But I just gave them to him in case the world has gone to sh*t and we need to fly away. I need to be with someone that can operate the helicopter.” The audience laughed, and Conan did a double take. “First of all, why don’t you take the helicopter lessons?” he asked. “Because I’m in charge of guns and ammo,” she answered smoothly.

‘Descent into hell’: Quebecer with long COVID requests MAID over lack of home support

Tired, in pain and worried about being a burden to his family, a 44-year-old Quebecer suffering from long COVID has requested medical assistance in dying.

To be legally eligible for MAID, one must have a serious and incurable illness, experience persistent and unbearable suffering, and make the request in a free and informed manner. Since 2021, in Canada, people whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable are eligible.

RUBENSTEIN: When there’s money in the genes, expect false claims

Pretendianism — pretending to be an Indian for fame and fortune — has been commonplace for generations.

But since the 1982 entrenchment of special indigenous and treaty rights in Sections 25 and 35 of the Canadian Constitution and their gradual but relentless expansive interpretation by the courts, indigenous identity theft by non-aboriginals has skyrocketed in lock-step with the growing status, influence, privilege and wealth that faking Indian pedigree now yields.

‘Disgusted’ immigration minister looking into revoking citizenship of Toronto terror suspect

The federal government is looking at whether the citizenship of a man accused of planning a terror attack in Toronto should be revoked, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Wednesday.

“I’m as disgusted as any Canadian. But I have a responsibility to get to the bottom of it and I will,” he said during a morning news conference in Church Point, N.S.

“I’m also going to take the next step, which is to start the preliminary work with the evidence at hand to look at whether the individual in question’s citizenship should be revoked.”

Bullshit.

Christopher Dummitt: Conservatives are weird — because progressives have bastardized cultural norms

Desperate to try any tactic to dig them out of the hole they find themselves in, the Liberals appear to have looked south and borrowed the Democrats’ idea of calling conservatives “weird.”

The tactic might just work for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her party. There are, after all, more than enough fringe Republican elements to make this somewhat convincing, especially as a sop to the Democrats’ political base and to independents who find political shenanigans ludicrous in general.

Joe Oliver: The walls are closing in on Justin Trudeau

Among the myriad problems Justin Trudeau is confronting, two have an immediacy that must be especially troubling. One is political, the other economic.

The political problem is the miraculous improvement in presidential prospects for the Democratic Party since its power brokers, who had shamelessly insisted until the very end how “sharp” Joe Biden was, finally confronted reality and threw him under the bus. Their motivation was not patriotic concern (though that’s their story and they’re sticking with it). The disastrous June 27th debate merely revealed what everyone in contact with the president already knew and what 70 per cent of Americans had been telling pollsters for months: Biden’s obvious cognitive and physical decline made him incapable of serving four more years in office. The bus only arrived, however, once polls began to show he was certain to lose to a Republican they viscerally despise and fear.

America Must Be Ready for the Next Round of Riots

Police across the U.S. fear a long period of mayhem and bloodshed. The magnitude of recent unstoppable campus riots and urban protests while we await the fall semester and the outcome of the 2024 presidential election in November, has reminded Americans that we are likely one BLM-type scenario from another explosion of race-fueled violence and chaos.

For starters, Congress still has no answers for why the Capitol Police had no standby reaction force on Jan. 6, despite significant intelligence that various radical groups would congregate that day in Washington D.C. The Capitol Police and trained military police units with riot control tear gas should have been prepared to disperse any crowd approaching the Capitol steps.

Elites decide Hunter Biden can finally be a scandal now that Joe is out

Hunter Biden is a corrupt con artist who used his father’s position to leverage the government and make himself millions.

Now that Joe Biden has been pushed aside, officials are allowed to admit this, and the New York Times is allowed to report it.

It’s rotten, unscrupulous, cynical hypocrisy.

Emails reveal that Hunter, while his father was vice president, wrote a letter to the US ambassador to Italy, asking for introductions to help the Ukraine gas company Burisma land a lucrative contract with Italy.


From the NYTimes – Hunter Biden Sought State Department Help for Ukrainian Company

Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, according to newly released records and interviews.

The records, which the Biden administration had withheld for years, indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member.

Embassy officials appear to have been uneasy with the request from the son of the sitting vice president on behalf of a foreign company.

The folly of Liberal immigration policy is now showing up in the job market

In late 2023, Immigration Minister Marc Miller revealed that his department was working on a “broad and comprehensive” plan to “regularize” the status of hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who either came to Canada illegally or overstayed their visas.

The planned move to grant legal status to undocumented immigrants, many of whom had been working in Canada for years, drew praise from the New Democratic Party, on whose support the Liberal minority government has relied to stay in power.

Fortunately, Mr. Miller has now put that plan on ice. And none too soon, as the fallout from Ottawa’s short-sighted approach to immigration begins to show up in the labour market, with soaring unemployment among youth and newcomers.

China Is Now Goading Iran into Attacking Israel

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi on August 11 told Iran’s acting foreign minister that Beijing supports the Islamic Republic defending its “sovereignty, security, and national dignity.” Wang said that killing Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh, the terrorist group’s political leader, in Tehran violated Iran’s sovereignty and threatened regional stability.

As countries around the world pressure Iran not to strike Israel — Tehran blames the Jewish state for the bomb that killed Haniyeh on July 31 — China was, in effect, publicly goading Iran to act.

US allegedly presented Tehran list of Mossad agents involved in Haniyeh assassination – report

An unnamed source in Iran’s Supreme National Security Council told Kuwaiti newspaper al Jarida that a high-ranking American security delegation, mediated by Oman, secretly traveled to Tehran, the Kuwaiti paper wrote on Wednesday.

Fox News reported that the delegation allegedly sought to deliver messages to Tehran in order to de-escalate the tensions in the region between Iran and Israel, al Jarida noted in their reporting of the story.

ANALYSIS: American-Style Politics at Play in Canada as the ‘Weird’ Strategy Takes Hold

Importing political attack methods and even certain derogatory words from south of the border is becoming more frequent, but is it effective for Canadian parties?

The latest trend has seen Liberal MPs and cabinet ministers accuse Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of being “weird,” echoing a strategy used by the Democrats in the United States. Some Tory MPs have in turn retorted with the same term, sharing policy items, quotes, or photos of the Liberals on social media and characterizing them as “weird.”

Who Are the 126 Soros Prosecutors?

The Media Research Center (MRC) has identified 126 Soros prosecutors across the nation who have worked to undermine law and order in the American justice system.

Leftist activists George and Alex Soros are America’s top cops. MRC researchers have revealed that at least 30 percent of the U.S. population currently lives under the boot of Soros prosecutors, each of whom are loyal to the Soros agenda. While previous estimates have not exceeded seventy individuals, the MRC is able to conclusively identify 126 “Soros prosecutors,” including attorneys general, district attorneys and even Biden-Harris administration officials.
