Liberals created conditions for housing chaos but blame everyone but themselves.
Ottawa considering a cap on international students to ease housing pressure, says Fraser
Canada hosted more than 800,000 international students last year, according to the government’s figures.
“When you see some of these institutions that have five, six times as many students enrolled as they have spaces for them in the building … you’ve got to start to ask yourself some pretty tough questions,” he said.
This “moment of clarity” likely came about because the Globe mentioned publicly that they will shortly be publishing an expose on the abuse of the foreign students program and the Liberals are using the CBC to get ahead of the story.
Don’t forget the LPC have allowed their corporate cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.
Of course it is Junior – Trudeau Says Immigration a ‘Solution’ to Housing Shortage
Catholic schools in Massachusetts order their 5,000 students to use the names, pronouns, and washrooms of their biological sex
A Catholic school district in Massachusetts has ruled that its 5,000 students must use the names and pronouns they used at birth, in the latest clash between the church and radical gender ideology.
The ruling from the Diocese of Worcester and approved by Bishop Robert McManus is set to affect 21 schools in and around the central Massachusetts city and start when students got back to class for the fall semester.
Under the new guidelines, students must conduct themselves in a manner ‘consistent with their biological sex,’ including the bathrooms they use and the sports teams on which they compete.
Tories face a Jekyll-and-Hyde image problem
Pierre Poilievre’s makeover is the latest instalment of two-faced conservatism—red meat for the base, porridge for the general population—until they win.
HALIFAX—There are a lot of things to be said about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s $3-million makeover, few of them flattering.
It is cynical, it is transparently manipulative, and it is comical. No T-shirt is ever going to turn Poilievre into Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
This is hate porn on par with Der Starrer.
Stockholm Quran burner allegedly assaulted by man wearing boxing gloves

Tom Flanagan: Why the Liberals once tried to ban Black immigration
“Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain….”
Oklahoma! is a classic work of American musical theatre. Probably everyone has heard some of the music even if they haven’t seen the stage play or movie. Composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein immortalized the frontier conflict between “the cowman and the farmer” — but they left out a bigger, racially-charged conflict surrounding Oklahoma’s accession to statehood in 1907. This conflict included an inspiring Canadian dimension.
Trudeau says he is ‘moving forward’ with interference inquiry, Poilievre says PM’s holding it back
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists that despite months of delay, his government is “moving forward” with a foreign interference inquiry, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing him of standing in the way.
On Monday, asked by reporters whether the delay in what months ago seemed an imminent announcement of a public inquiry into foreign meddling, was because the Liberals couldn’t lock in someone to lead the process, Trudeau said “no.”
“We continue to work very closely with all opposition parties on making sure that the terms of reference, the person who will be leading it, and the work that is done, is in the best interests of all Canadians… without the kind of partisan toxicity we saw during the fall,” Trudeau said in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
Junior is probably waiting for Xi to approve his choice. They are gonna rag this forever if possible.
Bill Barr Lays Out War on Terror Playbook for Decimating Mexican Drug Cartels
Former attorney general Bill Barr believes the United States should use the lessons it learned from the War on Terror in the fight against Mexican drug cartels.
“There were 80,000 ISIS [militants] controlling a large territory in the Middle East, and we had a couple thousand special forces as well as local supporting groups such as the Kurds,” Barr told National Review in an interview. “Over time, we were able to destroy them. Now, a lot of that included bombing targets, and I’m not suggesting we do that here, but the ability to use special operations and precision operations against what are paramilitary forces will allow us to reduce them in pretty short order.”
At least the next forever war will be closer to home.
The War in Ukraine Is No Game of Drones
While both sides have made good use of drones, they will likely not become the weapon that wins the Ukraine war.
Politicians and pundits want to declaim the lessons we should learn from Russia’s war against Ukraine despite the fact that the war — now eighteen months old — may not yet have reached its halfway point.
Russian President Putin, as I have written before, wants to keep the war going at least until 2025 when U.S. support for Ukraine will diminish whether or not we have a new president. If the Republicans keep the House, they will seek a significant decrease and if a Republican is elected president, all bets are off.

Today in History: Christians and Muslims Fight in the World’s Most Decisive Battle
Today in history, on Aug. 20, 636, arguably the single most consequential battle — certainly between Islam and the West— took place. Occurring just four years after the Muslim prophet Muhammad had died, not only did the military engagement decide whether the Arabian creed thrives or dies, but it also became a chief source of inspiration and instruction for jihadists throughout the centuries — right down to the Islamic State. And yet, very few in the West are even aware of the Battle of Yarmuk’s existence — much less how it motivates contemporary Islamic terrorists.
The Oppenheimer File: Missing Cast and Forgotten Back Stories
In the early going of this marathon film, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) tells a hostile government committee that his testimony should be understood in the context of his life and work. Context also is important for movies, but Oppenheimer keeps key back stories off the screen.
Viewers see the “Hitler Invades Poland” headline from September 1, 1939, but do not see or hear anything about Josef Stalin’s Communist forces invading Poland on September 17, 1939. This joint invasion started WWII and came about because of the Stalin-Hitler pact of August 23, 1939. Viewers see nothing about the Pact, and no headline such as “Stalin Invades Finland,” marks November 30, 1939.
America is losing its African war on Islamic terror
No one knew they were waging one
After 9/11, the US built a network of military outposts across the northern tier of Africa to fight a shadow war against Islamist groups. Niger became central to the effort. From Base Airienne 201, known to locals as “Base Americaine,” US drones were sent across the region to track down Islamist terrorists. The coup against President Bazoum marks another disruption in this long-running, mostly secret, war on terror. American troops in Niger are currently confined to their bases. The future of America’s two-decade counterterrorism campaign there is in doubt.
The pain of Net Zero is coming sooner than you think
An article of faith among today’s elites is that the government should ban its way to Net Zero. Rishi Sunak’s government is no exception. Despite growing backbench opposition, the UK prime minister has confirmed that he will stick to his policy of banning new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030, and sales of new hybrid vehicles by 2035.

A children’s book about Pride featuring men in bondage gear was shown to four-year-olds in a pre-school, it has emerged.
Parents had raised concerns with staff at Genesis Pre School in Hull after it was brought to their attention that children were being exposed to the images.
