Anti-Racist Racism Has Taken Hold at Canada’s Universities

Canada’s progressive movement has embraced an extreme and regressive form of racial “justice”—an unhealthy fixation on race that has prompted controversial, race-based hiring on university campuses. While “anti-racist” activists have been gaining ideological ground in Canada for some time now, the summer 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was a turning point, reflecting a tremendous surge in their influence.

In the wake of American protests that crossed the northern border, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dropped a stink bomb into Canadian political discourse, declaring Canada to be a systemically racist country.

Is Justin Trudeau the Worst Prime Minister in History?

Having recently posted an article in which I ask the rhetorical question “Is Joe Biden the Worst President in History,” I felt an andiron piece with regard to my own country might be appropriate. Is Justin Trudeau the worst prime minister in history? The answer is, “Well, probably.” He’s a work in accelerated progress, though it must be said that he had immense help along the way: a compliant Parliament, an appointed Senate, a complicit Judiciary, and a bought-and-paid-for media have been loyally riding shotgun. Trudeau is perhaps the most disappointing, unctuous, and injurious prime minister ever to occupy the seat of power in Canada.

Burning Man: Revellers begin to leave as boggy conditions improve

Weather conditions at the Burning Man festival in the US have eased enough to allow revellers to start leaving.

Heavy rain had turned the event, held in a desert in Nevada, into a mud bath.

The ground is now dry enough for vehicles to drive on it without getting stuck, and pictures show campervans driving out of the event.

Some 72,000 people had been stranded at the festival, but organisers say they are ready for a mass exodus from Monday morning, local time.

Zelensky Replaces Defense Minister, Citing Need for ‘New Approaches’

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that he was replacing his minister of defense, the biggest shake-up in the leadership of Ukraine’s war effort since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February last year, citing the need for “new approaches” as the war stretches toward a second year.

The fate of the defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov, had been the subject of increasing speculation in Ukraine as financial improprieties in the ministry came to light and the government started several investigations into official corruption.

Fauci roasted as ‘fraud’ and ‘liar’ after being confronted with damning study on masks

Social media erupted after Dr. Anthony Fauci was confronted by a CNN host with a study showing face masks made little to no difference in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conservative critics pounced on the former White House chief medical adviser after he acknowledged the masking study during the Saturday segment — while continuing to insist that, at an individual level, other research shows face coverings are effective at curtailing the spread of the virus.

Higher cost of servicing debt putting Canadian government in a bind

In the fall of 2020, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland gave a speech outlining Ottawa’s approach to debt management during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yes, the federal government was borrowing unprecedented sums of money to fund pandemic support programs. But the risk to the country’s fiscal health remained limited, Ms. Freeland argued in her first major address as minister.

Someone is running out of other prople’s money.

Mexico places slab of Berlin Wall near border with US

Mexico has placed a slab of the Berlin Wall near the US-Mexico border in protest over its neighbour’s attempts to stem migration.

Despite Joe Biden cancelling Donald Trump’s plans to build a wall between the two countries on his first day in office, he has moved ahead with small, already-contracted projects.

One of those has been a two-layered wall in San Diego, standing 18ft high and rising 30ft in some parts.

Sheila Copps on the housing crisis

What’s behind Canada’s housing crisis? Decades of policy failures, says former deputy PM

Canada’s housing crunch is the result of decades of poor policy stemming from the federal government leaving the issue to the provinces in the 1980s, according to one former deputy prime minister.

Former deputy prime minister Sheila Copps said in an interview with BNN Bloomberg that when Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) was involved in building housing, there was a significant amount of national investment in housing as well as housing policy and strategy.

Acres of decrepit crime and drug ridden high rise eyesores. That’s what I think of when I hear the words government housing.

Is this America’s WORST-driven car? Clips of Nissan Altimas cutting-up traffic and crashing – with their drivers also regularly seen brawling – inspire ‘Big Altima Energy’ memes

When it comes to bad driving, its the person behind the wheel who makes all the difference – and the internet has seized on Nissan Altima drivers as the chief culprits.

Since they first hit the streets in 1992, drivers of the humble sedan have been the punchline for never ending jokes.

Now the cars have their own cult following online with enthusiasts uploading photos and videos dedicated to ‘Big Altima Energy’ – or BAE – typified by car crashes, hair-raising police chases and comical mistakes.

Poll shocks media

Most say they support LGBTQ2S+ Canadians, but actions don’t line up: poll

While Canadians broadly support LGBTQ2S+ people and issues, they are less likely the engage in behaviours that show true allyship for the community, new polling conducted for Global News has found.

The majority of Canadians – 78 per cent – believe transgender people should be protected from discrimination in employment, housing and access to businesses. Seventy-four per cent believe that same-sex couples should have the same rights to adopt children as straight couples. However, the latest polling, conducted by Ipsos, found only a dismal one-in-10 consider themselves to be an active ally to the queer community.

They’re shocked their brainwashing effort hasn’t convinced the public that sexually mutilating children is a good thing.

“I’m bracing for a storm.” Some Toronto-area teachers fear another year of tumult and safety concerns

While students held up cellphones to capture the fight on video, the teacher managed to pull the two boys apart.

If she hadn’t stopped them, “his skull would have been cracked open,” reasoned the teacher, who works at a secondary school in Etobicoke. The Star has withheld her name to protect her from potential repercussions for speaking out.

It makes us stronger or somethin.

Ontario colleges are fuelling unprecedented growth in international students

In 2012, Ontario’s Conestoga College had about 10,000 full-time students, nearly nine out of 10 of them Canadians. A decade later, the college had about the same number of domestic students, but it has more than doubled in size thanks to huge enrolment from abroad. And with those foreign students has come a tripling of revenue and a massive windfall for the school.

The college, located an hour’s drive west of Toronto in Kitchener, Ont., had more international study permits issued last year than any school in Canada, and almost as many as the two of the country’s leading universities, the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, combined.

What a scam.
