Lorne Gunter: Danielle Smith recording doesn’t prove what CBC says it does
The CBC’s latest “bombshell” about UCP Premier Danielle Smith doesn’t prove what the state broadcaster thinks it proves. Once again, Mother Corp has let its anti-UCP biases convince it that it has a “gotcha” discovery, when in fact it has nothing of the sort.
WTF?

6 bodies, including 1 child, recovered from St. Lawrence River
UPDATE – The dead are believed to be families attempting to enter the U.S. illegally
The bodies of six people, including one child with a Canadian passport, were recovered from the St. Lawrence River near Akwesasne late Thursday afternoon, according to police in the community.
The first body was located at about 5 p.m. ET in a marsh area near the U.S. border, the Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service said in a release. The Mohawk community straddles the Canada-U.S. border and occupies territory in Ontario, Quebec and New York state.
David Krayden: Federal Budget Continues to Impose Reckless Climate Ideology on Canadian Farmers
This week’s federal budget spells further disaster for Canadian farmers and the agriculture. While promising money for Ukrainian farmers, the Trudeau government is continuing to insist Canadian farmers reduce their use of fertilizers—only because it is fanatically committed to a climate change crisis scenario that fraudulently insists the nitrogen in fertilizer is hastening that crisis.
Terror Triumphant? Richard Dawkins Falls Silent When Asked About Islam
Richard Dawkins left interviewer Piers Morgan stunned after refusing to give any comments regarding radical Islam and the attempted assassination of author Salman Rushdie.
World-famous atheist Richard Dawkins has shocked many after point-blank refusing to discuss matters relating to the topic of radical Islam during an interview.
Blackie’s Star Offers Stirring Defense Of CBC Completely Ignoring Network’s Fixation On Grooming Children
For those of us who have worked in the Canadian creative sector for decades, it is profoundly worrisome to witness the attacks on Catherine Tait, the president and CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, for defending the CBC’s existence.
Over the course of her five-year tenure, Tait has worked tirelessly to defend the role of the public broadcaster, strengthen its relevancy to all Canadians and expand the accessibility of its programming.
During an era of massive global disruption and a plethora of choices on how and where content can be consumed, Tait’s leadership has provided audiences with stories that entertain, resonate, and connect all Canadians.
Contrary to the Ceeb’s degenerate worldview Child abuse is not a “Canadian story” anyone should be proud of but I suspect the pedophile demographic is the only audience segment the CBC leads in.
Why does working in the “creative sector” always seems to lead back to tax payer dollars. Funny that.
CNN bosses are calling for patience as views plummet 61% while CEO Chris Licht tries to rid network of its woke credentials
CNN’s leadership is preaching patience even though thousands of viewers are abandoning the network during its attempted turnaround, with no indication yet whether it will pay off.
The warning comes just weeks after Discovery boss David Zaslav called out mistakes in new CEO Chris Licht’s attempt to rid the network of its ‘woke’ credentials on top of rumors that Licht might be out of the job by Labor Day.
Cable news ratings are down across the board compared to 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine dominated the news.
Chinese State Media Broadcasting in Canada Is ‘Foreign Interference,’ MPs Hear
Chinese state media outlets should not be granted broadcasting licences in Canada because their content is meant to feed “misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda” to overseas Chinese, an expert witness told a House committee on March 30.
The Chinese regime has made it clear it wishes to use overseas Chinese to exert influence abroad, and “this becomes interference instead of simple influence,” said Katherine Leung, policy advisor for the non-governmental organization Hong Kong Watch.
AOC storms away from ‘Libs of TikTok’ creator on Capitol Hill
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) angrily stormed away from “Libs of TikTok” creator Chaya Raichik after denouncing her as “super transphobic” in a tense Capitol Hill confrontation that was captured by amateur video last week.
Raichik on Thursday posted a video that was filmed by the right-leaning Heritage Foundation.
The “Libs of TikTok” creator confronted Ocasio-Cortez after the two bumped into each other in the congressional building.
BREAKING: I served @AOC with an ethics complaint after she lied about me in a committee hearing. AOC wasn’t in her office but then I bumped into her as I was leaving the Capitol!

Michael Higgins: Trudeau’s topsy-turvy worldview is never what it appears
Budgets are always a work of imagination. It is an art form to be “economical with the truth” while appearing to be honest and straightforward.
Often the real story of the budget isn’t found in the voluminous pages of the actual budget itself but in the appendices, this is where crafty governments sneakily try to slip in spending without anyone noticing.
Plus, governments are always creating new ways to creatively raise revenues while being equally creative in studiously avoiding calling them taxes.
AI chatbot blamed for Belgian man’s suicide
A young father took his own life after developing a toxic relationship with an AI chatbot, his wife has claimed.
The Belgian man, in his thirties, died a few weeks ago after a mental health crisis that culminated in the AI apparently encouraging him towards suicide.
China ‘resorts to false bomb threats’ in ‘extreme tactics to silence critics abroad’
Detractors wrongly implicated in fake terror scares as regime accused of trying to ‘harass and target’ those who dare to speak out
False bomb threats at luxury hotels and embassies in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia appear to be part of a harassment campaign against critics of the Chinese government, according to a new investigation.
More than a dozen threats have falsely implicated Germany-based Chinese journalist Su Yutong, as well as activists Bob Fu, who lives in the US, and Wang Jingyu in the Netherlands, reported the Axios news outlet.
Wealthy Californians Head for Greener Pastures With Lower Taxes
California’s leaders refuse to recognize that their own policies are causing the continued exodus of poor and rich alike.
California lost 500,000 people between 2020 and 2022, which is nearly the equivalent of the entire population of Sacramento, the state’s sixth-largest city. Actually, California didn’t lose these people. We know where they went. People die and give birth, and immigrants still move here, although in fewer numbers than in the past. Beyond that, hundreds of thousands of Californians have picked up stakes and moved to other states.
How real is America’s discontent?
We have adapted our system of education to emphasize fear and fragility
Homer goes right at it: “Sing Goddess, the Rage of Achilles.” Adapted to our times: “Sing, Bragg, your rage against the Trumpies.”
Alvin Bragg, who grew up in a section of Harlem aptly named Striver’s Row, is by most accounts one angry man. Since he was elected New York County’s district attorney in 2021, he has set himself to punishing the city for what he takes to be generations of wrongful prosecution of black offenders — and incidentally most other lawbreakers. His policy writ large has been to treat all felonies as misdemeanors, which are promptly dismissed.
