China-developed Business Park Now Open In British Columbia

The Vancouver Logistics Park opened its doors at the end of July in Surrey, British Columbia after years of planning between the Chinese and provincial governments.

To date, only 80,000 square feet of the facility has been completed but the entire project will be a massive 470,000 square feet centre and will house exhibition arenas, warehouses and business spaces.

Beijing first proposed the project as part of its global Belt and Road Initiative, which seeks to spread China’s economic power via infrastructure developments and partnerships abroad.

Canada Must Slow Down And Reform Transgender Treatments For Minors

The modern revolution around sexual identity is an inspiring triumph of personal freedom: people are far more free to be who they are than they have ever been.

But recent events bring cause for a bit of caution involving minors who may be being rushed into decisions that can be difficult to reverse as they mature and evolve. Canada must reform its policies on treating youth who identify as transgender and put an end to blindly “affirmative” care that rushes children to medical transition. It should instead adopt the United Kingdom’s new treatment model, which focuses on mental health and recognizes that some young people identify as transgender to cope with trauma.

Race, Gender, Sex: Justin Trudeau’s Divide And Conquer Strategy

To make a group of people disagree and fight with one another so that they will not join together against one– “His military strategy is to divide and conquer.”

Once a fundamental strategy for military conquest, the phenomenon takes on a post-modern meaning when applied to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada. Military conquest is just so “2014.”

Upon election in 2015, Justin Trudeau rendered the concept archaic. It has since been replaced with “social strategy”– divide community from community, and Canada is yours for the taking. Thus, a pre-conceived plan of social division was unfurled.

Injustice Is Served: Appeals Court Rules Gender Dysphoria Is ADA Disability

In a split decision on Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that “gender dysphoria” is a protected class under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The court ruled that a male identifying as a female, named Williams, who was imprisoned in Fairfax County, Virginia should be housed with the female inmates, even though he retains male body parts.

Consensus Not Censorship

We’ve become obsessed over the past few years with the problem of misinformation. And for good reason. “Flood the zone with shit” is now standard operating procedure for a variety of interests and factions. Groups who pretend to be above that kind of thing let confirmation bias do the same work, elevating conjectures they find convenient to believe far beyond the evidentiary basis for believing them, and transmuting concurrence among prestigious groups whose biases are aligned into “authority” to which they demand deferrence. Casual information consumers become divided into two camps, the “do you own research” types who imagine, mistakenly, that they are capable of seeing through all this (and so succumb to their own confirmation bias), and those who more accurately understand that they cannot reliably distinguish truth from bullshit (and so opt out of democratic deliberation with a shrug, other than perhaps to vote for the candidates whose political party they distrust less).

‘Next Generation Of DACA’: Biden Admin Releases 257k Unaccompanied Migrant Children Into US

More than a quarter of a million unaccompanied migrant children who managed to illegally cross the border with Mexico have been released into the United States since President Joe Biden took office, with thousands more arriving every week.

Pakistani Doctor Pleads Guilty to Terror Charge in Minnesota

ST. PAUL, Minn.—A Pakistani doctor and former Mayo Clinic research coordinator pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge, more than two years after he was arrested for telling paid FBI informants that he pledged his allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group and that he wanted to carry out lone wolf attacks in the United States.

The Israel-PIJ Mini War Was All About Hamas

The brief but intense sprint of violence between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) that took place across the Gaza-Israel border earlier this month is interesting because of what did not happen during that mini-war. On the surface, the confrontation was simply the latest eruption of violence between Israel and a Palestinian terror group committed to the Jewish state’s destruction. But what appeared as a bilateral escalation had an important regional context: the PIJ was established in 1981 by Iran’s intelligence apparatus. The latter’s support of the PIJ is part of Iran’s continuous efforts to expand its influence in the Middle East at large: in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen

Today in History: Islam Swallows Up the Western World After the Battle of Yarmuk

Today in history, on Aug. 20, 636, arguably the single most consequential battle between Islam and the West took place — that of Yarmuk. 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; it became a chief source of inspiration and instruction for jihadis 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.

Killing the FBI?

We grew up watching Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. and The FBI on TV.

I understand that it was a TV show, but where is Efrem when we really need him? I remember walking around Washington, D.C. on the day J. Edgar Hoover died in 1972.

He wasn’t perfect, but I had positive thoughts about the FBI when I got the news of his passing.

Russia blames Kyiv for killing daughter of ‘Putin’s Rasputin’, but the truth may be closer to home

Car bomb attack in Moscow most likely to be a false flag attack to whip up public support and escalate war against Ukraine

Investigators had barely started picking through the crime scene when Kremlin-linked officials began blaming Ukraine for the audacious car bomb attack that killed Daria Dugina.

But Kyiv, which denied any link to the murder, may have more pressing military concerns than conducting a complex hit on the daughter of a Vladimir Putin whisperer.

Although pro-Ukraine partisan attacks have increased in occupied Kherson and Crimea in recent weeks, Moscow appears to be a big stretch for its military and intelligence capabilities.

Pierre Poilievre brought his federal Conservative leadership campaign to Dartmouth to criticize the Liberal government’s carbon tax plan, defend free speech and deride Canada’s prime minister.

China Is Preparing To Go To War

China expert Gordon Chang makes the case that China is preparing for armed conflict – and could happen quite soon.

Last month, a Chinese entrepreneur making medical equipment for consumers told me that local officials had demanded he convert his production lines in China so that they could turn out items for the military. Communist Party cadres, he said, were issuing similar orders to other manufacturers.

Moreover, Chinese academics privately say the ongoing expulsion of foreign colleagues from China’s universities appears to be a preparation for hostilities.

What Russians See in the News: A War Over Western Plans to Subjugate Them

“Vesti Nedeli,” the flagship weekly roundup of Kremlin-controlled television news, recently portrayed a long history of predatory Western powers coming to grief when they invaded Russia: Sweden in the 18th century, France in the 19th, Germany in the 20th.

Enemies now seek to reverse those losses, said Dmitry Kiselyov, the show’s host, blaming the West for the war that Russia instigated in Ukraine. The goal to finish off Russia is “centuries old and unchanging,” he said. “Here we are on the defensive.”

The dangerous narcissism of the trans lobby

Travis Alabanza’s new book shows how male self-pity is weaponised against women’s rights.

Remember when oppression meant the government brutally denying you the rights and freedoms enjoyed by everyone else? Now it means blokes agonising over whether or not to paint their nails.

That’s a Man.

Seriously. In his new book None of the Above: Reflections on Life Beyond the Binary, nonbinary writer Travis Alabanza cites this dilemma as proof of the ‘oppression [of] the gender binary’. He introduces us to Steve, a man who had ‘wanted to paint his nails for years’. But he didn’t because, like the rest of us cis squares, he’d been conditioned into ‘upholding the gender binary’ which says men don’t do that. One day, though, after seeing one of Alabanza’s theatre shows, Steve plucks up the courage to paint his nails neon yellow. Alabanza is moved by this brave strike against the forces of oppression. ‘My urge was to hug him’, he writes. Free at last! Thank God Almighty, free at last!

‘I was sacked for suggesting that drag acts were a gross caricature of femininity’

Music academy lecturer who lost her job in latest transgender controversy is taking legal action

A lecturer at a prominent music academy says she has been forced out of her job after she suggested drag acts could be viewed as sexist.

Cathy Boardman, a lecturer in cultural studies, had asked her class to reflect on ‘womanface’ – a critical term for female impersonation – and whether or not it was demeaning.

Salman Rushdie and the racism of shielding Muslims from offence

Those who want to treat Islam differently to all other faiths see Muslims as lesser citizens.

First the horror, then the silence. It’s been a week since Salman Rushdie was stabbed on stage in New York, the 33-year-old fatwa finally catching up with him, and the mood is strangely muted. There have been some powerful defences of free speech in the media and statements of solidarity with Rushdie, who is still in a hospital bed nursing life-changing injuries. But in general our political and cultural elites have managed only limp, anodyne or oddly delayed interventions – in Labour leader Keir Starmer’s case it took him a full day to say anything about the attempted murder of a fellow knight of the realm. Meanwhile, the culture warriors – those wont to downplay the threat of Islamist extremism and dismiss free speech as a racists’ charter – are keeping remarkably schtum.

Do diversity targets matter more than defence?

Battle of Britain: White people doing heroic things is offensive and racist.

Even the RAF is in thrall to the cult of diversity.

A little while ago, I rewatched the 1969 film Battle of Britain. The shots of aerial combat have held up remarkably well. The casting not so much. Sure, Laurence Olivier, Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer have name recognition. You might even argue that they have some merit as actors. But they are woefully lacking in diversity. And as today’s Royal Air Force (RAF) is apparently keen to make known, this is now the key metric by which Britain’s defensive forces should be judged.
