FUREY: Progressives keep bleeding support from the working class
One of the more notable aspects of the otherwise sleepy Ontario provincial election has been the endorsements announced by labour unions.
While it was once typical to see the NDP dominate on this front, incumbent Premier Doug Ford’s Ontario Progressive Conservative party is elbowing in.
The NDP is a dinosaur party with its remaining strongholds found among silly academics and journalists.
Rex Murphy: How ridiculous is it for universities to ‘cancel’ sonnets? Let me count the ways
Politics offers such sparse opportunities to talk about poetry that when even a sliver of a chance to do so blinks into view I will seize it.
I know in doing so I am missing the opportunity to join the ever swelling chorus of sage pundits warning of the horrible dangers to the Confederation of the Poilievre campaign — it’s another truckers’ convoy! — but there will be other days, other columns.
The ‘Mary Poppins of Disinformation’ Fails to Grasp Why She Was Dis-employed
Nina Jankowicz, the former director of the Disinformation Governance Board, made a video where she referred to herself as “The Mary Poppins of Disinformation.”
To be charitable, she should keep her day job.
Lebanon Gives Tehran a Double Whammy
It was only a couple of weeks ago that the general election in Lebanon made the headlines in Tehran’s official media. “Supreme Guide” Ali Khamenei had labeled the election as “a referendum on the Resistance Front”, a coalition of Iran-controlled groups that have struck roots in Iraq, Syria, north Yemen, Gaza and Lebanon. He had also publicly donated an extra $25 million to the Lebanese branch of Hezbollah to ensure its victory.
Certain about securing a “crushing victory”, partly thanks to the misguided boycott declared by Lebanon’s former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, the Tehran media had started speculations about whom Khamenei might choose as the next president if Lebanon were to replace the current octogenarian incumbent. The matter had been raised in the audience that Khamenei granted to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on a lightning visit to Tehran.
‘Extremely active’ jumping worms that can leap a foot raise alarm in California
An invasive worm species known for its “voracious appetite” and ability to jump a foot in the air is raising alarm in California, where scientists have expressed concerns about the threat the worms pose to forest ecosystems.
The Amynthas agrestis, also known as the Asian jumping worm, Alabama jumper or crazy snake worm, have been spotted in California in recent months. The earthworm is native to east Asia, particularly to Japan and the Korean peninsula. However, in recent years the worms made their way to North America via various landscape plants that have been imported from the region.
No Joke: White Comic Sues Talent Agency Alleging Discrimination
Comedian Tyler Fischer, whose spot-on impressions of former President Trump, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and others have helped build a huge YouTube following, is suing a talent management company he claims rejected him for being white, according to a report.
Let the apparent insider payouts of BLM be a warning about any cause
The adage “wherever there is power, greed and money, there is corruption,” seems to ring true for Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors.
As The Post reported last week, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation tax documents filed (years late) with the IRS show Cullors used BLM funds to pay her graffiti-artist brother a whopping $840,000 for “security” services to the nonprofit and $970,000 to a company owned by her child’s father for “creative services.” Nepotism much?
Musk suggests new Twitter purchase price be based on number of real accounts
Billionaire Elon Musk blasted Twitter for not being forthcoming about its number of real users, calling the lack of explanation “very suspicious.”
Musk threw another caveat into his bid to purchase Twitter on Saturday, suggesting that the price be adjusted based on the percentage of fake accounts on the social media platform.
Inconvenient Fact About Mass Killings
After the mass murder of 10 in a Buffalo, New York, supermarket committed by a man who posted a racist manifesto, Wesley Lowery, a CBS reporter, said: “Let’s be clear, the stuff Tucker (Carlson) and Laura Ingraham say every night, it could be written by white supremacists very often. There’s a section of this manifesto where the shooter starts talking about, ‘People will always say diversity is strength. How is it a strength?’ And I could hear it in Tucker’s voice. He says this all the time, right? But the Ben Shapiros of the world say this. … There are plenty of people in our politics, in our media, who advance these ideas and advance them frequently. … We have to have a conversation about our political rhetoric in our country, right?”
Where to start? This “reporter” implies that “right-wing rhetoric” incited the 18-year-old Buffalo supermarket killer. Where’s the evidence? For all we know, he might’ve been an avid viewer of CBS News.
Analyst Warns World Has Just ’10 Weeks’ of Wheat Supplies Left in Storage
A food insecurity expert said the world has only about 10 weeks of wheat supplies left in storage amid the conflict in Ukraine and as India has moved to bar exports of wheat in recent weeks.
Sara Menker, the CEO of agriculture analytics firm Gro Intelligence, told the United Nations Security Council that the Russia–Ukraine war “simply added fuel to a fire that was long burning,” saying that it is not the primary cause of the wheat shortage. Ukraine and Russia both produce close to about a third of the world’s wheat.
Another shortage!
Half-Million Migrants Cross Border in Ten Weeks

GUNTER: The persecution of Tamara Lich and the gross overreaction to the convoy
Bizarre. Excessive. And indicative of an elite class that has lost its collective mind. At a bail hearing on Thursday, the federal government tried hard to have Tamara Lich returned to jail.
Lich, one of the organizers of February’s Freedom Convoy, has been free on bail for the past couple of months awaiting trial on charges of mischief and counselling others to commit mischief, plus obstructing police and intimidation.
