Joe Oliver: Liberals on the same path of self-inflicted ruin as the Soviets

Growing gap between Ottawa’s version of reality and the facts on the ground becoming apparent to Canadians

The Soviet Union ultimately collapsed from internal contradictions related to a faltering ideology, limited free speech, economic mismanagement, deteriorating international influence and an inability to deliver on promises of a better life that were painfully obvious to all but were not, for fear of brutal reprisal, discussed publicly until near the very end. Justin Trudeau’s leftist woke government is afflicted by similar if milder contradictions that in our free country the aggrieved population living under them is discussing quite openly — which suggests the government’s dissolution will come faster.

Columbia quietly closes down Teachers College project that ruined countless lives

Columbia University is trying to quietly walk away from a disaster it imposed on generations of American children.

The least we can do is call out the damage done.

Just before the Labor Day weekend, Columbia announced that it’s “dissolving” the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project and sending its creator, Lucy Calkins, off on indefinite sabbatical.

All teacher’s colleges are run by degenerate commie shitbags.

The rescue of a multi-million dollar boring machine trapped beneath a west Toronto street has been delayed again, with the city warning it might not be the last set-back before the project is wrapped.

‘The nightmare is over’: Americans freed by Iran in prisoner swap

Five Americans jailed for years in Iran and widely regarded as hostages are on their way home to the United States.

The last pieces in a controversial swap mediated by Qatar fell into place when $6bn (£4.8bn) of Iranian funds held in South Korea reached banks in Doha.

It triggered the next step – to allow the four American men and one woman in Tehran, who are also Iranian citizens, to board a flight to Qatar’s capital.

They will be met by senior US officials and then flown to Washington.

Anthony Furey: What to Note From Trudeau’s Response to Reporters’ Question on Whether He’ll Resign

The narrative on the Canadian federal political scene has quickly shifted. There’s a question that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now being publicly asked that no politician wants to face. It’s a question that’s going to be echoed all across social media and on television and radio discussion panels. It’s one he will no doubt face again in front of the cameras.

The question is whether Trudeau is going to resign.

Don’t use terms like ‘women’ in article about periods, sanitary pad firm ‘told website’

Writer claims her article had to be changed to be more inclusive to transgender people because it was sponsored by Always

Always, the sanitary pad firm, told a parenting website to remove the words “women”, “girls” and “females” from a period advice article, a women’s health writer has claimed.

Adam Zivo: The sad truth about socialist ‘anti-imperialists’ who defend Putin

When Russia invaded Ukraine 19 months ago, western socialists had an opportunity to prove that their commitments to “anti-imperialism” were authentic and principled. Instead, many of these leftists rallied behind Moscow and, in the process, spotlighted their own moral bankruptcy and disdain for eastern European lives.

This behaviour, however disappointing, was utterly predictable when put into historical context.

Belgium: Protests Erupt over Sex-Ed Classes

On Thursday night, September 14th, an elementary school in the French-speaking Belgian municipality of Charleroi was set on fire—the sixth school to suffer that fate in just two days.

Investigators suspect that the fires can be traced back to negative reactions to a decree—approved earlier that week—on sex education lessons in schools in Wallonia and Brussels.

Under the so-called ‘Evras’ (Éducation à la Vie Relationnelle, Affective et Sexuelle) decree, for two hours each year, French-speaking pupils (in the sixth grade of primary school, ages 11-12, and fourth grade of secondary school, ages 15-16) have to be taught about sexuality, relationships and emotions.

Astonishing scenes from Justin Trudeau’s flailing Liberals

The federal Liberals are in big trouble and they clearly don’t know what to do about it. But by God they’re game to try anything, not least on social media. And so it was on Wednesday afternoon that Whitby, Ont. MP Ryan Turnbull (or someone on his behalf) took to the keyboard to assail Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s housing policy.

“Poilievre’s plan is to cut funding to municipalities so he can intimidate them into building more homes,” Turnbull lamented. “We are already making historic investments in housing, knowing there is much more to do and we are focused on tackling this crisis head-on,”

COVID-19 Vaccines Revealed to Be ‘Neither Safe, Nor Effective’: Watchdog

COVID-19 vaccines were authorized in Canada during 2020 and 2021 without being subjected to the country’s safety tests as required under established drug regulations, revealed an accountability watchdog.

Russell Brand accuser: ‘He’s saying one thing and I know the demon underneath it’

In her first full interview, a woman who alleges that the comedian raped her tells The Times why she is talking about it now

When Nadia began her treatment at a medical centre for victims of rape, she struggled to verbalise what had just happened to her.

“I literally couldn’t say the word ‘rape’, ” she reflects. “I couldn’t believe that [could happen] to anyone I know, as silly as that was. But by the end of it, I was like, ‘Oh my god. He raped me.’ ”

It was summer 2012 and her assailant, Nadia claims, was Russell Brand, the actor and comedian, who at that point was at the height of his fame and living in Los Angeles.

Colin Kaepernick makes a bid to return to the shackles of the NFL, gets rejected

 

If the NFL is a plantation, and the processes of the Scouting Combine are akin to those at bygone slave auctions, then why is Colin Kaepernick trying to return to a life of chains? As Delano Squires put it, “So he’s asking to return to the same ‘plantation’ where he toiled for years before being manumitted? I’ve never seen an abolitionist who hated his freedom this much.”
