Jordan Peterson: I will see this contemptible ‘re-education’ process through to its absurd end

On Thursday, my attempt to defend myself against the ideologues and petty tyrants that now occupy so many positions of authority in Canada came to an end — or I finally got what I deserve, due to my incautious verbal utterances, depending on your stance. I am (still) a licensed psychologist in Ontario, and was once a full professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. Back in 2016, both of those occupations basically came to an end, when I had the temerity to object to the idiot legislation passed by our jackanapes prime minister, Justin Trudeau, the worst leader Canada has ever had, and a contender for the worst in the western world. His moralizing compatriots decided at the time that it was a good idea to rejig the very definition of sex — what could go wrong with that? — and to simultaneously compel everyone to accept that redesignation, on pain of law.

‘A new kind of slavery’: Skyrocketing use of temporary foreign workers in restaurants and fast food chains has advocates concerned

David Rodriguez says he was abruptly fired from his job after standing up to his abusive employer less than two months after arriving in Toronto from Mexico in 2022 to work as a cook.

The 39-year-old was one of several temporary foreign workers employed at a downtown restaurant, enduring harsh working conditions that he says included aggressive behaviour from the owner and unpaid overtime.

When Rodriguez raised his concerns, his boss fired him on the spot, he says, leaving him unable to find new work, as his status in the country was tied exclusively to his employer.

There is no labour shortage in Canada, there is a surplus of wannabe slave owners eager to abuse the temporary foreign workers program for profit.

Don’t for a minute think that Canada’s business class is above the practice of modern day slavery, they love importing indentured servants.

The latest scam is an active discussion of the need to implement a six day work week as Greece hopes to do.

Mmmmm …

Tim Walz Is a Lumberjack and He’s Okay – The Democrats are pretending Walz is the all-American man.

The Democrats are pretending Walz is the all-American man.

There is something very “Lumberjack Song” about the campaign to make Tim Walz into John Wayne. That Monty Python song starts with a promising message of hard work and cutting down trees but ends with buttered scones, skipping, and recreational transvestitism.

Does the Tim Walz trajectory end with us finding out that he crochets?

Canada was ‘highly confident’ it heard man-made noises during search for Titan submersible, documents show

Canada’s military was “highly confident” for days in June 2023 that bangs heard underwater while searching for the missing Titan submersible were man made — by an object striking the hull of a vessel — near the famous Titanic wreck site, CBC News has learned.

Those noises helped keep hope going that the five wealthy explorers on board the missing vessel were still alive during the multi-day, multi-national search, even though it is now believed the vessel imploded within hours of going into the water.

Euthanasia was Canada’s 5th leading cause of death in 2022

Despite promises of a “stringently limited, carefully monitored system of exceptions,” medically-assisted death is now the fifth-leading cause of death in Canada, says a newly-released report.

The report, released this week by Canadian think-tank Cardus, paints a bleak portrait of Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) regime, which according to the report has seen a thirteen-fold rise in participants since its 2016 legalization.

The appalling homophobic attack in Canada you didn’t hear about

It’s been six weeks since a brazen, allegedly bigoted attack took place on the street in a major Canadian city. It should have been national news. Perhaps under different circumstances, it would have been.

Tommy Robinson could face huge bill for unpaid tax

Tommy Robinson faces a huge bill for unpaid tax in a battle with HM Revenue & Customs over his funding.

The campaigner, branded an “armchair thug” by Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, is in dispute over whether money he received can be classified as tax-exempt donations.

If he fails to persuade the taxman, he will be asked to pay a significant amount in back tax.

I hate to say I told you so ….

‘Nothing is really getting better’: This Toronto park went from zero tents to being the city’s largest homeless encampment. What happened?

Kai Downey does not want to be in a tent in Dufferin Grove Park.

She arrived a few days back, hauling her bright blue tent from her former campsite near Toronto’s lakeshore, after unwanted attention from another person left her feeling scared. The west-end park, a 5.3-hectare expanse of green space across from Dufferin Mall near Bloor Street, meant access to a washroom, a water fountain and basic essentials in the bustling area.

On a sweltering August afternoon, Downey, who is in her early 20s, stood beside her setup in a less populated area near the park’s northern edge, as two outreach workers from a local social service agency made their rounds to hand out water bottles and single-use SPF packets. They asked what she needed. The answer was the same as it’s ever been: housing.

A Quarter of Employed Canadians Now Work For The Government

Canadian employment doesn’t look like it moved much, but under the surface was a giant shift. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data shows the number of jobs virtually unchanged in July, growing 1.7% (+345k jobs) over the past year. As a result, the unemployment rate was also flat at 6.4%, adding 0.9 points from last year. Mostly boring until you dive into the details that show the public sector now accounts for most jobs, overseeing 1 in 4 employees in Canada.

You will be refused bail even if you only watched riots from the sidelines, judge warns

A judge has warned that anybody present at a riot will be remanded in custody, even if they were only a “curious observer”.

District Judge Francis Rafferty said that someone’s presence at a riot makes them involved in the riot as he refused two bail applications.

The judge spoke as four men appeared in Belfast magistrates’ court charged in relation to recent disorder in the city.
