The Hollywood actor Sean Penn has called for a billionaire to come forward and buy two squadrons of F-15 or F-16 aircraft for Ukraine in an unlikely attempt to tip the scales against the Russian invaders in the five-week-old war.
The actor’s plea for somebody to come and spend $300m on “12 aircraft with better tech than Russian MiGs or SU’s” mirrored a request a couple of hours earlier from Ukraine’s air force for US-made fighters.
OTTAWA—As Pierre Poilievre and his team watch thousands of people jam into his Conservative leadership campaign events, they say they are seeing a new political movement take shape.
Gesturing to all the young people at an event in North York last week, Conservative MP Adam Chambers called it proof Poilievre is reaching a different demographic.
“This is a new thing for the Conservative party,” he said.
But Poilevre’s campaign also knows that a movement alone isn’t going to win him the leadership.
What appears to be drawing them are his calls for freedom: from vaccine mandates, from regulations that make it hard to build affordable homes, from taxes that make it expensive to drive a car, and as a whole from a government he says has too much control over their lives.
Russia’s war effort is grinding to a halt because much of the military hardware they need is made in Ukraine, it emerged last night.
Kremlin forces have run out of vital weapons and cannot now replenish their stocks, UK defence sources revealed.
The revelations came as President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces drove Russia out of dozens of towns around Kyiv and the north in one of the most extraordinary days since the start of the invasion.
Russian forces ‘leaving mines in dead Ukrainian bodies’ as they retreat, Zelenskyy says
Russian forces are leaving behind “a complete disaster” in their retreat from northern Ukraine, as they leave mines in everything from destroyed equipment to dead bodies, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
Despite a Russian pledge this week to reduce “military activity in the direction of Kyiv and Chernihiv”, Ukraine’s leader said residents must be prepared of further attacks.

The Disney Company believes that grooming your kids is the hill that it wants to die on — which should tell you everything you need to know about the people running Disney these days. No sane corporation would put out a statement such as this one unless it wanted to be recognized as a pro-pedophile organization.
An infectious disease expert says “there’s no doubt” a sixth wave of COVID-19 is sweeping across Ontario, and it’s being driven by the highly transmissible BA.2 subvariant at the same time restrictions have been lifted across the province.
“We’ve opened the doors to a new variant,” Colin Furness, an expert in infectious disease epidemiology from the University of Toronto, told CTV National News. “Then eliminated all of our defences.”
SB 5974 — a piece of legislation recently signed by Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA) — establishes a target that “all publicly owned and privately owned passenger and light duty vehicles of model year 2030 or later that are sold, purchased, or registered in Washington state be electric vehicles.” An “interagency electric vehicle coordinating council” created by the new law is directed to “complete a scoping plan for achieving the 2030 target.”
Australian Liberal Senator Alex Antic has blasted the World Economic Forum (WEF) for influencing world governments, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet.
Antic, who is a member of the conservative faction of the Liberal Party, accused the WEF and founder Klaus Schwab of being “steeped in authoritarianism and Marxist ideology.”
The Daily Wire just might be the most important and impactful company in the history of the conservative movement. For too long conservatives in the West have been forced to endure the abuses of the talking heads of Hollywood and the legacy media. The near-total control of media messaging combined with the general passivity of most conservatives has resulted in corporate America feeling like it could ally itself with the far Left “woke” narrative.
To advise the Heritage Minister on regulating Canada’s internet, a panel of experts, most of them academics, has been appointed. One of the government’s internet regulation plans, alongside the online censorship bill, is to create a federal internet censorship agency.
The report compares the total ownership costs of electric vehicles compared with their gas-powered equivalents, from purchasing, to refuelling, to maintenance.
In every case, electric vehicles come out cheaper than the gas alternative, according to the report.
The move will make the numbers at detention centers decrease while the illegal population will continue to grow inside the U.S. and will provide a road map for relatives and others who are trying to get into the U.S.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Trudeau government-funded CBC Corporation has instituted a Guest Sourcing Survey to determine the racial and ethnic status of their guests.
As reported by Western Standard Online, questions concern the “guest’s gender, ethnicity and whether they appear to be biracial/multiracial, as well as “additional details of ethnic origin for persons of colour.”
The two-page questionnaire is to be completed by each person appearing on-air, including street interviews with “passersby, guest commentators, and musicians.”
The free exchange of ideas was an essential part of the success of the Western world. Abandoning that for ‘safety’ or ‘political correctness’ will lead us in the direction of authoritarian states like China & Russia, the exact opposite of where we should want our society to end up.
Bill C-67 seeks to amend various Acts with respect to “racial equity,” including Ontario’s Education Act, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities Act and the Ontario College of Teachers Act. The bill would, among other measures, mandate “anti-racism and racial equity training” for teachers, as well as “fines for persons who disrupt or attempt to disrupt proceedings of a school or class through the use of racist language or activities.”
A single Tesla battery weighing 1,000 pounds requires extracting and processing some 500,000 pounds of materials. At this rate, over the next thirty years we will need to mine more mineral ores than humans have extracted over the last 70,000 years. #GreenEnergy pic.twitter.com/4FXcYHlSFt

President Joe Biden announced on Thursday his administration’s plan to lower gas prices for Americans, saying that “prices are rising” due US sanctions on Russia in the wake of their invasion on Ukraine. Biden calls this “Putin’s price hike.”
Amid soaring inflation, which hit nearly 10 per cent in March, the Spanish government, controlled by the leftist Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has opened up a legal loophole for supermarkets to begin rationing to customers.
My editor, Todd Erzen, has long spoken of the magical power of vaccines. Going so far as to say that even most Christians have such a religious zeal for them (whether they understand that or not), that if given the choice between vaccinating and baptizing their infants, they would in most cases anxiously choose the former.
I once thought that to be an effective rhetoric to combat the propaganda surrounding the obvious deficiencies of the COVID vaccine, but perhaps a bridge too far as a broader north star to follow. Now, I’m not so sure.
Take the contagious vaccine method that has now been acknowledged here and here and here. That means deliberately introducing a modified virus into a population to act as a vaccine, perhaps through an animal host such as a bat. Probably no cool superhero powers are going to come with that, though. The most important power such a process and policy could wield is a near total lack of accountability for some of the most Frankenstein monster-esque science we’ve even seen.
A record $31 million award to a mom and pop bakery that accused a liberal Ohio college of ruining its business with false accusations of racism has been upheld by a state appeals court.
Gibson’s Bakery, a 135-year-old family business near the campus of Oberlin College, was initially awarded more than $40 million in punitive and compensatory damages in the aftermath of a 2016 incident in which the owner’s son confronted three black Oberlin students who were stealing wine from the store. Although the suspects were arrested and later admitted they were shoplifting, the episode touched off school-sanctioned protests and accusations of racism that crippled the store’s business.
Deconstructing the reality dysphoria dialogue.
The satirical Babylon Bee recently selected Rachel Levine as its “first annual Man of the Year.” “Levine,” the Bee explained, “is the U.S. assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he proudly serves as the first man in that position to dress like a western cultural stereotype of a woman. He is also an admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. What a boss!”
