Trudeau government is funding affordable rental projects that aren’t actually affordable

When the $86-million low-interest loan for SoHo Italia apartment tower in Ottawa was announced in the summer of 2020, the federal government press release led with the line: “Every Canadian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home.”

The project would provide housing for the middle class and “those working hard to join it,” said Ahmed Hussen, the cabinet minister then responsible for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., which lent the money under the largest program in the Ottawa’s national housing strategy.

The Liberals are relentless scammers.

Salman Rushdie: My attacker came in hard and low like a squat missile

Sir Salman Rushdie has described the moment he saw his would-be killer “coming in hard and low – a squat missile” before he was stabbed more than a dozen times in a lecture hall in 2022.

In his first television interview about the attack, the novelist said he had sometimes envisioned a killer striking in a public place, and his immediate thought was: “So, it’s you. Here you are.”

The Booker Prize winner was told by doctors he was lucky to escape with his life, saying the man who stabbed him “had no idea how to kill a man with a knife”.

Justin Trudeau’s grand plan will never solve our housing crisis. Here’s why …

Justin Trudeau is not going to solve the housing crisis.

He can’t do it on his own and he can’t seem to recruit the necessary collaborators among Canadian governments to get it done.

For several weeks culminating in an ambitious set of federal housing initiatives announced Friday the prime minister and his cabinet colleagues have crossed the country announcing housing initiatives.

Randall Denley: Trudeau’s attempt to blame Doug Ford for the carbon tax isn’t fooling anyone

If you believe Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the carbon tax imposed on Ontario is Premier Doug Ford’s fault. Not only that, the PM would like voters to think he’s the champion of building housing faster and Ford’s the guy holding things up. It’s as if Trudeau has stepped into an alternative universe where Ford is responsible for the housing mess, not the guy with the aggressive population expansion policy.

The Inevitable Result of Intersectional Gender Studies

Harvard University’s gender and sexuality department will offer a wide-range of classes next semester: Gender as Technology; Gender and Sexuality in Korean Pop Culture; Feminism in the Age of Empire; Gender, Race and Poverty in the United States; Decolonization; Love’s Labors Found: Uncovering Histories of Emotional Labor; and more. Decolonization is as relevant to feminist theory as the songs of BTS are to Korean gender roles in Harvard’s gender studies department. As NR’s George Leef has written, gender studies is “not really an intellectual enterprise, but ideological posturing,” one that “is not about trying to understand the world, but is all about trying to change it in certain ways.”

Pro-Abortion Terrorist Gets Lighter Sentence Than Peaceful Pro-Life Activists

In late January, six pro-life activists were convicted on charges of violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, for blocking the entrance to an abortion facility in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee in 2021. The FACE Act, signed into law by President Bill Clinton, punishes “violent, threatening damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide” abortions.

For their peaceful demonstration — that included hymns and prayer — the defendants each face a maximum sentence of more than a decade in prison and three years of supervised released, plus up to $260,000 in fines.

Self-hating Jews, Queers4Palestine, and conservatives walk into a bar…

Self-hating Jews, Queers4Palestine, and conservatives walk into a bar and ask for the strongest drink available. The bartender says, “Are you sure? It’s pretty potent.” One from the groups replies, “We’re not afraid of extinction; we’re embracing it!”

Now that you have wiped the laugh tears from your eyes and your knees have stopped hurting from the slapping, let’s look at why this joke works.

It’s the math.

Trans mayor whines about being ‘bullied’ out of office despite rampant crime, homelessness

A California mayor who came out as transgender after being elected to office is facing a recall vote — blaming it on transphobic “bullies” despite outrage over rampant homelessness and crime.

Raúl Ureña, 26, was elected mayor of the border town of Calexico with 70% of the vote in 2020 — before coming out as transgender and gender fluid following her re-election victory in 2022, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The mayor — who accepts “all the pronouns,” with a preference for “she” — went from office attire of suit and pants for a penchant for low-cut dresses showing off a still-hairy chest, proudly saying she looks “sexy as hell” in office.

There’s Total Media Silence As Hamas Admits they Inflated the Alleged Palestinian Death Toll

It’s wild when you think about it: news organizations were taking Hamas propaganda as if it were verified and accurate information. No one learned from the Gaza hospital fiasco, the first wall the media crashed into when they erroneously said that an Israeli airstrike hit this facility. The reality was it was the terrorists’ own rocket salvo, fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The New York Times had to print a retraction, but the damage was done. Now, Hamas has openly admitted they inflated the death toll in Gaza, and the media is AWOL
