OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi say they want to find common ground and maintain communication, despite tensions across the Pacific.
But a senior analyst says Beijing’s preferred path to better relations might be impossible for Canadians to follow.
The San Francisco Unified School District is pushing radical propaganda that teaches students about “Israeli terrorism,” according to a new report.
District officials provided teachers with educational resources to lead classroom discussions on “war, terrorism, colonization, and seeking peace.”
The U.S. Army is experiencing a sharp decline in the number of white recruits it’s bringing into the service, a new report found.
According to data analyzed by Military.com, “A total of 44,042 new Army recruits were categorized by the service as white in 2018, but that number has fallen consistently each year to a low of 25,070 in 2023, with a 6% dip from 2022 to 2023 being the most significant drop.” The report further noted how “[n]o other demographic group” has experienced such a downward trend in recent years, and that the “rate at which white recruitment has fallen far outpaces nationwide demographic shifts.”
Chilean-American war commentator Gonzalo Lira died shortly before noon on January, 11, 2024 at a hospital in Kharkiv, where he had been imprisoned for eight months since he was accused of justifying Russian war efforts in Ukraine.
Lira came to prominence in 2022 when he emerged as a critical voice in an increasingly dictatorial Ukraine. His arrest in May 2023 on charges of “production and dissemination of materials justifying Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine” helped to galvanize domestic opposition to US funding for the war and led to calls for his release by tech baron Elon Musk and American political commentator Tucker Carlson.
An American citizen is in prison n Ukraine after we sent over a $100 billion?
Is there more to this story than simply criticizing Zelensky?
If that’s all it is, then we have serious problem here.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be one of the most dangerous and consequential events of the 21st century, an event that would make the Russian attack on Ukraine look like a sideshow by comparison. It could quickly have ramifications far beyond the island, drawing in Japan, South Korea, and the United States and other countries of Nato.
There are major factual issues with jonathan m. katz’s ‘atlantic’ article, “substack has a nazi problem”
A fairly contrived effort to endlessly link the word Substack to the word Nazi has had some moderate success, unfortunately. Or at least enough success to have sparked an open letter republished on many individual Substacks calling on Substack to get rid of Nazis, a counter–open letter calling on it to maintain its liberal content-moderation standards, a statement from Substack co-founders Hamish McKenzie, Chris Best, and Jairaj Sethi explicitly stating that they do not plan to ban Nazis from the platform, a bunch of Substackers responding by leaving or threatening to leave if Substack doesn’t moderate the content it hosts more aggressively, and a spate of news coverage of all of the above.
At this point, Joe Biden and the Bidenites don’t just have a little blood on their hands, they’re bathing in it.
A few days back, AT published an essay by contributor C.S. Boddie that highlighted a recent tragedy in Colorado: an illegal alien, who had been deported four times before, killed a mother and her 16-year-old son, as he drove (allegedly) completely inebriated near a high school. The illegal had four “alcohol-related driving” convictions under his belt, and just days before, he’d received probation, community service, and work release from a Colorado judge; Boddie’s piece also included a number of other “chilling” examples underscoring the deadly consequences of admitting millions of scofflaws.
In his latest update at Discover the Networks, John Perazzo updates the profile for Ibram X. Kendi, the godfather of ‘antiracism,’ on the Claudine Gay case.
The Year of Elections has already terrified the establishment. Good.
‘2024 is the Year of Elections and that’s a threat to democracy.’ If you had to sum up the ideology of Western elites in one headline, you’d struggle to beat that one – from a recent Bloomberg piece about the apparent horrors that await us in the next 12 months.
As extreme cold temperatures hit a large part of Canada, including the Prairie provinces, the premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan and Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre are ramping up their campaign against the federal carbon tax on home heating sources.
“It’s freezing in Thunder Bay and local Liberal MPs Patty Hajdu & Marcus Powlowski are making it worse,” Mr. Poilievre posted on social media on Jan. 12.
Why are American pedestrians getting run over so much more often than a decade and a half ago?
You’re not just imagining it: It really has gotten more dangerous to cross the street.
Since 2009, the worst year of the Great Recession, pedestrian death rates per 100,000 people increased 63 percent by 2022, while motorist (driver and passengers) death rates per capita have gone up only 10 percent.
Pro-Hamas protesters keep pushing their luck and pretty soon their luck is going to run out.
Certainly, the city’s patience has run out.

The charge of public incitement of hatred against a Toronto man alleged to have held up what police called a “terrorist” flag during a demonstration last weekend could be difficult to prosecute and highlights the challenges of defining hate crimes, some experts say.
Prosecution of the man police allege waved a flag associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) while marching through the city’s downtown last Sunday will “be a real uphill battle,” said Barbara Perry, director for the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism at Ontario Tech University.
