Is NPR Just BLM Radio? TV Critic Eric Deggans Gushes Over Ibram X. Kendi on Netflix

Ibram Kendi – Race Baiting Grifter

National “Public” Radio sounds a lot like Black Lives Matter Radio. The taxpayer-funded network has denied BLM leaders are Marxists, even as they plainly state they are. They’ve promoted books promoting black racial rioting against police as “rebellion” as well as In Defense of Looting. So it’s no surprise they’re going to offer a rave review to “antiracist” leftist Ibram X. Kendi’s new documentary on Netflix. The headline:

‘Stamped From the Beginning’ is a sharp look at the history of anti-Black racism.

Grifters.

Messed-up maple syrup: Crafty tactics complicate Canada’s fight to stop illegal drugs at the border

The Canadian border agency is in a constant game of cat-and-mouse with criminal organizations that are trying to import dangerous narcotics as well as the ingredients for fentanyl — sometimes through “creative” means, says a senior border official.

In an interview with CBC’s The House as part of the program’s ongoing coverage of the toxic drug crisis, Aaron McCrorie, vice-president of intelligence and enforcement at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), said officers have seen a wide variety of “innovative” methods to smuggle drugs.

Most of the precursor chemicals for fentanyl are imported to Canada from China, either directly or transhipped via the United States or South American countries, law enforcement says.

That says a lot about Trudeau’s Canada and our China class.

Congratulations, academia, you’ve gone and radicalized the students

It’s no small task to hijack a whole system of education to achieve a political end, but Canadian academics — “critical race scholars,” “decolonial theorists” and the like — seem to have accomplished it. Congratulations are in order. Once believed to be underdogs doomed to a life of underemployment and student debt, these scholarly activists have created a red guard of radicalized students willing to march in the street calling for intefadeh.

Ideological entrepreneurs in progressive academia (most of academia) embraced the theories of Kimberlé Crenshaw, a Columbia University professor of critical legal studies who came up with the idea that identity is the root cause of disadvantage. They then applied the work of academics like Ibram X. Kendi, who discovered the solution to oppression: “anti-racism,” or the levelling of the social justice scales by discriminating against the privileged. The takeaway: those who are considered to be privileged colonizers deserve whatever anti-oppressive resistance comes their way.

What Gazans really think about Hamas

Some are horrified by the massacres, others feel the bloodshed and devastating Israeli retaliation are the price of freedom

On the morning of October 7, Sara, a mother of two from Gaza, woke to the news that Hamas fighters and crowds of civilians had broken through the billion-dollar fence that for 16 years had penned her and 2 million of her people into a strip of land slightly smaller than the Isle of Wight.

Justin Trudeau’s foreign minister is grappling with a world of chaos. But is she making a mark?

Given all that has happened since — new and still-raging wars; diplomatic chills; everblooming fears for the future — it almost seems quaint to recall. But last November was still a dead-serious time on the world stage.

Mélanie Joly, the affable political survivor from Montreal who serves as Canada’s foreign affairs minister, was in Bucharest to meet her counterparts in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Just before travelling to the Romanian capital, Joly had released her Indo-Pacific strategy, a much-hyped blueprint that lays out how Canada will deal with rising powers like India and China in a massive stretch of the globe.

Arab states condemn Wilders for push to relocate Palestinians to Jordan

Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League on Saturday condemned statements by Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right politician who won this week’s election in the Netherlands, that Palestinians should be relocated to Jordan.

The Palestinian Authority labeled the statements as “a call to escalate the aggression against our people and a blatant interference in their affairs and future,” the Wafa news agency reported.

Politics reporters continue to struggle with the Poilievre phenomenon

On Wednesday, Pierre Poilievre stood in the House of Commons, noted “media reports about a terrorist attack at the border in Niagara (Falls),” and asked if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had any information he could share. The prime minster did not, to no one’s surprise, the incident having only just occurred.

Later in the afternoon, American officials said they were pretty sure the fiery one-car crash had just been a bizarre accident. And back we all went to finding serious solutions for Canada’s many serious problems.

Revealed: King Charles secretly profiting from the assets of dead citizens

The king is profiting from the deaths of thousands of people in the north-west of England whose assets are secretly being used to upgrade a commercial property empire managed by his hereditary estate, the Guardian can reveal.

The Duchy of Lancaster, a controversial land and property estate that generates huge profits for King Charles III, has collected tens of millions of pounds in recent years under an antiquated system that dates back to feudal times.

Financial assets known as bona vacantia, owned by people who died without a will or known next of kin, are collected by the duchy. Over the last 10 years, it has collected more than £60m in the funds. It has long claimed that, after deducting costs, bona vacantia revenues are donated to charities.

CBC concerned that parents not groomers have rights …

Does Saskatchewan’s Parents’ Bill of Rights help parents or misguide them?

It’s been more than a month since Saskatchewan used the notwithstanding clause to make its Parents’ Bill of Rights Canada’s first provincial education law that could limit gender identity in schools. But the debate around it as intense as ever with a now-moot constitutional challenge still moving forward in the new year.

“Parental rights means I have the ability to create a safe environment for my child to grow up,” said Dustin Mathies, a father of two in Swift Current, Sask., who supports the law. “One of the biggest things is having control over what my kids are hearing, what they’re learning.”

But others say the law does more harm than good.

The first person quoted supports her child’s gender confusion. They’re the worst.
