Joe Oliver: Thanks, but no thanks: Conservatives don’t need to dilute their principles to win
… You will not learn from mainstream media that the average Canadian does not buy into every sacred Liberal shibboleth, including the most cherished cultural and economic obsessions. And despite strenuous efforts, Prime Minister Trudeau has not radically shifted the spectrum of politically acceptable policies (the so-called Overton Window, after the late American libertarian activist Joseph Overton, who introduced it).
Canadians tend to be middle-of-the-road, commonsensical and patriotic. Overwhelmingly, they are not woke iconoclasts eager to tear down statues or postmodern ideologues preoccupied with identity politics and alternative lifestyles. Rather, they are pragmatic, fair-minded people who support aboriginal reconciliation and acknowledge history’s dark chapters but do not believe Canada is systemically racist or genocidal.
I think the CPC braintrust believes they do.
All Hail America’s New Truth Czar!
If you heard about the recent birth of a new government committee called the Disinformation Governance Board—which will operate out of the Department of Homeland Security and be run by a woman named Nina Jankowicz who writes songs about misinformation for fun—you could be forgiven for thinking you hit your head and woke up in 1984. Rest assured, you did not. It’s entirely real.
The End of the Road for Roe?
This week, an anonymous leaker violated generations of Supreme Court norms by passing on to Politico a draft decision by Justice Samuel Alito in Dobbs v. Mississippi, the case considering overturning Roe v. Wade (1973). That draft decision, reportedly supported by a majority of the Court including Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, junks Roe in its entirety, denying the existence of any constitutional “right to abortion”; the majority opinion also trashes Roe’s follow-up case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), which substituted a vague and unworkable “undue burden” test to determine whether or not a law restricting abortion was unconstitutional in place of Roe’s trimester framework. Alito writes, “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority.”
Turkey: NATO’s Pro-Putin Ally
Turkey’s “balancing act” during the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the result of the country’s Islamist leader’s two-decade long indoctrination of a generation of Turks to make them “pious.” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan may or may not have raised pious generations, as he declared was his political mission, but he has definitely raised an anti-Western generation. That anti-Western sentiment once again makes Turkey the odd-man-out in NATO.
Western leaders shrugged it off when, in 2016, Erdoğan said in plain language that Turkey did not need to join the European Union “at all costs” and could instead become part of a security bloc dominated by China, Russia and Central Asian nations. Earlier, in 2013, Turkey had signed up as a “dialogue partner” saying it shared “the same destiny” as members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation — China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) — which was formed in 2001 as a regional security bloc.
How many NATO members still buy Russian gas? Cui Bono?
Russian mercenaries behind Central African Republic atrocities – HRW
Russian mercenaries have been accused of summarily executing, torturing and beating civilians in the Central African Republic (CAR).
Witnesses told Human Rights Watch (HRW) that in one incident last July, Russian-speaking fighters shot dead at least 12 unarmed men at a roadblock.
Most victims were put in a shallow hole by the road near Bossangoa, they said.
CAR’s government denies hiring mercenaries from the private Russian Wagner Group to fight rebels.
PCs have ‘pulled away’ from pack as Ontario election set to begin: Ipsos poll

The survey found the Ontario Liberals — under Leader Steven Del Duca — would receive 26 per cent of the vote, while the NDP, under Leader Andrea Horwath, would collect 25 per cent of the vote.

LAU: Trudeau government peddles junk climate science, junk economics
The belief that climate change is an “existential challenge,” as evidenced by its appearance in Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s recent budget speech, informs the federal government’s decision to impose tens of billions of dollars in annual costs on Canadians in the form of taxation, spending and regulation.
Ukraine: Nato and the US aim to destroy the Russian military – it looks as if they may have the means to do it
Nothing like a coherent strategy emerged from 20 years of Nato’s war in Afghanistan; at best there were long lists of aspirations with no clear objectives or assessments of the resources needed to achieve them. But, two months after the Russian invasion, it looks very much as if the US and Nato are beginning to develop a coherent plan for Ukraine. Military strategy has been described as a synthesis of ends, ways and means. Last week, senior US and UK officials clarified the objectives – the ends.
Russian airstrikes target western arms arriving in Ukraine
Russia is stepping up airstrikes on key Ukrainian supply lines delivering billions of pounds worth of western arms to the country, including on railway lines and warehousing.
With Moscow and Kyiv-locked in a race to shape the conditions for the current phase of the war in Ukraine, the rapid and growing flow of weapons supplied by Ukraine’s western backers has become an increased focus for both sides.
On Tuesday Russian airstrikes hit six train stations in central and western Ukraine as the Kremlin stepped up its targeting of key infrastructure, including electrical and water supply substations.

The Supreme Court’s integrity demands its leaker be prosecuted — and the decision released now
It would be difficult to cite a higher American public interest than conducting a criminal investigation of the Supreme Court leak. The current security of the justices and the long-term viability of the court as an institution depend on it.
It was entirely appropriate for the court to confirm that Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in the Mississippi abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, is not at this point an authoritative ruling of the court. There could understandably be public confusion on that point, so it was incumbent on the court to clarify.
Conservative senator demands to know why man linked to terrorist group is allowed to live in Canada
OTTAWA — A Conservative senator grilled the governing Liberals Tuesday about why a man the Israelis say is a “high-ranking member” of a designated terrorist organization has been allowed to live in Vancouver.
Men and boys among alleged rape victims of Russian soldiers in Ukraine
Men and boys are among the alleged victims of rape by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, where dozens of cases of sexual violence by the invading forces are already under investigation, UN and Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday.
“I have received reports, not yet verified … about sexual violence cases against men and boys in Ukraine,” said Pramila Patten, UN special representative on sexual violence in war, at a press conference in Kyiv.
CBC Floats LPC Israel Policy Trial Balloon
Claims that Israel is imposing ‘apartheid’ on Palestinians put new pressure on Trudeau Liberals
Two cornerstones of the Trudeau government’s foreign policy have been its public statements in defence of human rights around the world and its less-publicized support for Israel at the United Nations.
Now, a series of reports by the world’s leading human rights organizations accusing Israel of employing a policy of apartheid in its treatment of Palestinians have put the focus on the tension between those two positions.
Canada doesn’t usually dispute Amnesty International’s conclusions — but the federal government has had little to say about Amnesty’s report formally accusing the Israeli government of building an apartheid state in its occupied territories.
The CBC is testing the waters on behalf of the LPC with this article. The call to “officially” label Israel an apartheid state is proceeding on a number of fronts and is likely to succeed, the Liberals will use that label to alter policy and harvest the goodwill they have cultivated among the Islamists in Canada, a vote bloc they helped create.
The Liberal and Conservative party’s are both guilty of deliberately altering Canadian society for the worse through ruinous immigration policy. Multiculturalism & Diversity are nothing more than the bludgeons used to divide and conquer, ask questions and you will be declared a racist for complaining about the mess created by their cynical identity politics.
