It’s a cold day in hell when a leftist outlet like The Atlantic admits free speech online is actually a good thing.

One woman’s case shows how Canada’s euthanasia laws tend towards suicide on demand.
In March of 2021, the Canadian Parliament passed the world’s most liberal euthanasia law. The law scrapped the previous requirement that a person’s death be foreseeable. No longer would assisted suicide hurry death along. Now, it would prescribe death to people with decades left to live so long as their disease was deemed “grievous and irremediable.”
Millions of Canadians now qualify to receive what the government terms “medical assistance in dying,” or MAID, Dr. John Maher, a psychiatrist in Ontario, told The American Spectator.

The EU has proposed some of its toughest measures yet against Russia, including a total ban on oil imports and sanctions on war crimes suspects.

Russian crude oil would be phased out within six months, she said.

The Delaware computer repairman who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden’s laptop — filed a multi-million-dollar defamation suit Tuesday against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, CNN, The Daily Beast and Politico, saying they falsely accused him of peddling Russian disinformation.

Amid criticisms that Nova Scotia’s Mass Casualty Commission has been far too reticent to criticize police actions amidst Canada’s deadliest mass shooting, this week the inquiry took a different focus: the role of “masculinity.”
“Our research suggests that mass shootings are a gendered issue: they fundamentally have to do with the relationship between men, masculinity, and guns,” read the report tabled this week by the inquiry.

An attacker who stormed a stage and bundled Dave Chappelle to the ground in front of a shocked audience has been seen with a misshapen arm after the comedian’s security guards pounced on him.
Video from last night’s Netflix Is A Joke event in Los Angeles shows the man tackling the star, before getting to his feet and evading the panicked security as he fled offstage where he was detained.
He launched at Chappelle seconds after the comic had joked about needing additional security after his controversial comments about trans people last year, with additional fears of an audience attack following the Will Smith slap at the Oscars.

The Conservative Party and the NDP are calling on Canada Revenue Agency Commissioner Bob Hamilton to testify before a Parliamentary committee after a massive disclosure of sensitive internal documents revealed numerous allegations of wrongdoing at a CRA division responsible for ensuring multinational companies pay appropriate levels of Canadian tax.
The government documents, which were submitted in a federal court case late last year, reveal the names of several whistleblowers who have made a wide range of allegations from within the agency, as well as the names of senior CRA officials who were subject to internal complaints. The documents also include a 2021 report by an outside team of psychological consultants that found half of the staff in the division said they had been victims of bullying, harassment or intimidation.
The documents suggest that at least some of the tension in the division was owing to a disagreement over the agency’s handling of a specific multimillion-dollar tax agreement reached with a multinational company. The identity of the company in question is repeatedly redacted in the documents.

A U.S. Supreme Court leak indicating a reversal of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling is prompting the Conservative Party of Canada’s leadership candidates to publicize their stance on abortion rights.

Though never spoken of, the perpetrators can be defined as Canadians of European heritage. For maximum impact, legislators have united First Nations and Third World communities into a singular entity of oppressed peoples. Indigenous people have been in North America for thousands of years. Muslim-Canadians have existed as a viable community for perhaps 50 years. All the same to Woke Canada– it’s all grist-for-the-mill.
The inflationary policies of the Liberal government and Bank of Canada continue to take a toll on the Canadian People.
In an email put out to Conservative Party members Haldimand—Norfolk MP and leadership candidate Dr. Leslyn Lewis gave a detailed explanation for her opposition to Digital ID as well as the World Economic Forum (WEF) which promotes Digital ID and other policies that centralizes government power.

The Biden Administration came under fire last week for creating the Disinformation Governance Board under the Department of Homeland Security—only a few days after former President Barack Obama warned that disinformation in the digital age presents an “unprecedented crisis for democracy” in an address at Stanford University on April 21st. Two weeks earlier, the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and The Atlantic hosted a “groundbreaking” three-day event on how to combat online disinformation. And a month before that, The New York Times published an op-ed by University of California, Irvine Law Professor Richard L. Hasen arguing, “There can be no doubt that virally spread political disinformation and delusional invective about stolen, rigged elections are threatening the foundation of our Republic.”
