Joel Kotkin: Toronto falls into the pit of urban decline that’s plagued U.S. cities
For years, American urbanists and city planners have looked at Canadian cities with envy, as they had managed to avoid the searing decline of their American counterparts. And Toronto was where the late Jane Jacobs chose to make her home, largely due to her enthusiasm for urban neighbourhoods.
But more recently, the Greater Toronto Area has been showing signs of the urban ills that are commonly associated with city life south of the border. Carjackings, for example, have boomed; one recent victim was Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner.
WTF?

Candace Owens stakes her ‘reputation’ on claim that French first lady is a man
Cockburn has been too wrapped up in the Michelle “Michael” Obama saga for the last several years to hear there’s a similar conspiracy developing across the Atlantic against French first lady Brigitte Macron. Fortunately, the wild allegation has been covered in depth by Candace Owens and, on Tuesday, the Daily Wire host staked her career on its credibility.
Can We Now Admit Trump Was Right About Haiti?
It is the very definition of a failed state.
It’s a sad commentary on the current state of things that we look back on 2018 as “the good old days.” By comparison, that year was pretty good compared to this one on a number of metrics; however, by no objective criterion would that be a year regular Americans should pine for.
Terry Glavin: The elephants in the room at the foreign interference inquiry
You’ve got to feel at least a twinge of pity for Justice Marie-Josée Hogue. She’s the head of the public inquiry into foreign interference that is only now getting off the ground, 16 months after leaked intelligence first revealed that Beijing ran elaborate election-interference operations to the benefit of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party in 2019 and 2021, and the government knew it but did nothing about it.
Among the questions Hogue has to properly sort out, this one rarely gets a proper look-in: when we say “foreign” interference, what do we mean by “foreign,” exactly?
TikTok: China’s Instrument of War
Yesterday, March 13, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act” by a vote of 352 to 65, with one member voting present.
It was a victory for the United States.
Canada’s next wealth divide? It’s renters versus homeowners, RBC says
Persistent unaffordability in Canada’s housing market is widening the wealth divide between renters and homeowners, Royal Bank of Canada says in a new report.
“Canadian renters are getting squeezed more than homeowners, making home ownership an even more distant dream,” report author and RBC economist Carrie Freestone writes.
The View’s Sunny Hostin Makes a FOOL Out of Herself on the Law and Crime
The View’s staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host, Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) often lords her long-ago past of being a federal prosecutor over the rest of the cast as they default to her for legal analysis. The problem with that is that her interpretations of the law and legal procedure are often colored by her political opinions and they tend to fall apart under even layman scrutiny. Well, that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday when her claims about reasonable doubt and crime were busted.
Paul W. Bennett: Time to throw Pink Shirt Day in the wash with a bottle of bleach
Every school year for the past 15, the last Wednesday in February has been recognized and promoted as Pink Shirt Day, which is aimed at curbing bullying and reducing its harmful effects on children and teens. It originated in September 2007, when Grade 12 Nova Scotia students David Shepherd and Travis Price organized a protest to show their solidarity with a Grade 9 student who was bullied, at least in part, for wearing a pink shirt.
House Asks Speaker for Panel to Investigate Govt. Response to UFOs
Last week, the Pentagon’s UFO investigative office, AARO. released the first volume of its long-awaited UAP historical report. A second volume is expected later this year. They concluded that there was “no evidence” to support recent contentions that the Pentagon has been secretly studying captured technologies from non-human intelligence or biological specimens of “extraterrestrials.” In short, they claimed that there was “nothing to see here,” so everyone should go on about their business. The staggering number of errors in the report, along with the direct contradictions to recent sworn congressional testimony meant that the report satisfied basically nobody in the ufology community or the members of Congress who comprise the new UAP Caucus.

Maryland city equity official says she wants US to burn to the ground: ‘MY ideology can rise from the ashes’
The equity officer tasked with eliminating racism in College Park called to ‘BURN IT ALL DOWN’ but also says, ‘I don’t want to work’
The City of College Park, Maryland, hired a “racial equity” leader to spearhead its mission to eliminate systemic racism in its departments who has made statements defending violence and promoting the idea of a revolution against the United States.
Kayla Aliese Carter supports “Black liberation” through revolutionary means and said she is working with some activists to plan “how we will eat and live and grow after we burn it all down.” She was hired to be a “Racial Equity Officer” under former Mayor Patrick L. Wojahn, who resigned from office after being arrested for child pornography.
Toronto Unemployment Surges, Adds 75k More Unemployed People

Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data shows Toronto’s unemployment rate rose significantly faster than the national rate in February. The city’s unemployed population has grown to hundreds of thousands of people, with annual growth rising 11x the rate of its labor force.
