Next week, members of the Québec National Assembly’s Culture and Education Committee will resume their arduous clause-by-clause study of Bill 96, a legislative piece that seeks to modernize Bill 101, the French Language Charter. Few among the media will follow their work, but that does not make it less important. Indeed, if adopted as is, the bill will considerably strengthen the provincial government’s powers on language issues. This should be cause for concern.
Soros-funded Alvin Bragg (D) won overwhelmingly in New York City. To say he is soft on crime would be an understatement.
Bragg ran a campaign on a platform of a no-bail agenda and an end to prosecutions for what he calls “minor offenses” such as marijuana misdemeanors, turnstile jumping, trespassing, driving with a suspended license, prostitution (which furthers trafficking), resisting arrest for non-criminal offenses, and obstructing the work of the New York City Police Department.
A CBC News article on the illegal pipeline protests and blockades dogging the Coastal GasLink LNG pipeline in British Columbia is full of inaccuracies and left-wing bias.
The article, presented as an explainer on how the illegal blockades allegedly help keep “emissions in the ground,” is not based on scientific fact, but rather is full of baseless environmentalist guesswork.
Former President Donald Trump called for an investigation into the 2020 election “insurrection,” claiming if nothing is done about the widespread fraud then “you really can’t look to the future.”

The New Brunswick government released its Winter Action Plan for COVID-19 on Friday, as it confirmed two more COVID-related deaths and 97 new cases.
In the face of a “very concerning” rise in infections over the past two weeks and a disproportionate number of cases among the unvaccinated, Health Minister Dorothy Shephard said the three-level plan with new restrictions will take effect Saturday at 11:59 p.m.
Canada’s plan to require novel coronavirus tests for all but U.S. arrivals on international flights risks causing “chaos” and long lines if all passengers are expected to get tested at airports, industry groups said.
CBC loves dividing Canadians up by our race and pitting us against one another. There were two glaring examples this week from CBC’s Being Black series.
First, they published a story about the words CBC would like banned from the English Language because they sound like other words that could be racist.
Second, they published a story about how great it is to work from home because Black employees don’t have to deal with “microaggressions” from well-meaning but racist Canadians.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is revising the current Global Testing Order to shorten the timeline for required testing for all international air travelers to one day before departure to the United States. This revision strengthens already robust protocols in place for international travel, including requirements for foreign travelers to be fully vaccinated.
So now it’s racist to criticise ISIS? In its latest report on the British media’s coverage of Islam and Muslims, the Muslim Council of Britain describes me as ‘Islamophobic’. What racist speechcrime did I commit in the eyes of these self-elected spokespeople for the UK’s Muslim community? I once wondered out loud, on TV no less, why we are very quick to describe white-nationalist terrorists as neo-fascists – quite rightly – but less quick to use that f-word in relation to ISIS. ‘[It] is very rare’, I said on Sky News, ‘that you hear the word fascism used in relation to Islamist extremists’. This struck me as odd, given that Islamist extremists are hyper-violent and alarmingly regressive and are currently ‘a greater threat to our society’ than white-nationalist nutters are.
This month, Kataluna Enriquez made history as the first ever transgender Miss USA contestant. But after being eliminated very early in the competition, Enriquez is saying that the pageant is still not ready for transgenders.
In a Friday press release by the Kyodo News Service, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare warned of myocarditis and pericarditis issues related to the mRNA COVID vaccines.
The Kyodo News Service is the Japanese equivalent of the AP or Reuters. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is the Japanese equivalent of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where the CDC is located.
The largely forgotten ethnic cleansing, almost unparalleled in the history of human rights abuses.
Today, we speak of a largely forgotten ethnic cleansing largely unparalleled in the history of humanitarian abuses. Recall the coordinated international expulsion of some 850,000 Jews from Arab and Muslim lands, where they had lived peaceably for as long as 27 centuries. As some know, in 2014, the Israeli government set aside November 30 as a commemoration of this mass atrocity. It has had no real identity or name like “Kristallnacht.” But today, from this day forward, the day will be known as Yom HaGirush: “Expulsion Day.”
The events in Wisconsin’s Kenosha and Waukesha offer useful perspectives on a recent clash between pundits Andrew Sullivan and Jonathan V. Last of The Bulwark over the accuracy of the news media. Sullivan argues that the press makes numerous errors, while Last suggests that they get almost all matters of fact correct.
From the EU to the Cabinet Office, our elites really are uneasy about the C-word.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without news reports that some institution has ‘banned Christmas’, or eschewed any mention of it, for fear of offending non-believers and ethnic minorities. So, right on cue, a headline in the Mail on Sunday read: ‘Now Whitehall’s woke “blob” tries to ban Christmas: Ministers are warned using the word in festive jab drive will offend minorities.’
It wouldn’t be Christmas, either, without the haughty retort that stories of ‘Christmas being banned’ are typical right-wing nonsense, invariably peddled by the Daily Mail. In response to the Mail report, the HuffPost said that any attempts to ban the C-word were undertaken by the Cabinet Office, and not the ‘woke’ civil service, as the Mail had claimed. ‘Versions of this story traditionally come around every Christmas’, sighed the HuffPost, ‘but this year it manages to shoehorn in the term “woke”
The parents of the teenage suspect in a Michigan high school shooting have been arrested following a short manhunt and face an uncertain future with authorities charging them for the actions of their clearly disturbed son, a development that could have far-reaching implications in terms of the law.
James and Jennifer Crumbley have been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter after 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley went on a rampage at Oxford High School on Tuesday, claiming the lives of four of his fellow students in another of the tragic school shootings that have plagued the nation for years.
The first week of Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial began with media from all over the world camped out in front of the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan waiting to get a glimpse of the British socialite.
Maxwell, the former girlfriend of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein , is accused of recruiting and grooming girls, one as young as 14, to have sex with Epstein and his high-profile roster of friends.
It’s the holiday season again and time to decide where to shop based on people’s skin color — or so says Black Lives Matter.
The group for the seventh year is urging people to boycott stores owned by White people and only to patronize Black-owned businesses.
“When buying items, spend exclusively with Black-owned businesses from Black Friday through New Year,” the group said on its website and Instagram promoting its annual #BuyBlack campaign.
Actor Adam Baldwin is unsparing in his assessment of how fellow actor Alec Baldwin (no relation) shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a vintage gun on the set of his latest movie. And Alec Baldwin made it worse in his damage-control interview with ABC News this week when he blamed his victim for directing him to shoot her.
There are three things you can be sure of in life — death, taxes and that the federal Liberals will miss their next target on climate change.
After all, they’ve been doing it going back to 1993.
Pope Francis has used a trip to Greece to hit out at Europe for the divisions it has exhibited over migration while also warning against the perils of populism.
In Athens, on the second leg of a Mediterranean tour that has highlighted the plight of migrants and refugees, the pontiff also expressed concern over democracy’s retreat globally. Greece has long been on the frontline of the refugee crisis.
“The European community, torn by nationalist self-interest, rather than being the engine of solidarity, appears at times blocked and uncoordinated,” he said in an address at Greece’s presidential palace on Saturday.
“In the past ideological conflicts prevented the building of bridges between eastern and western Europe; today the issue of migration has led to breaches between south and north as well.”
Frankie’s scolding shows he is just another out of touch member of the well insulated elite that doesn’t have to personally deal with the consequences of his screeds.
