Ever since September’s federal election, I’ve defended keeping Erin O’Toole as Conservative leader.
Yes, O’Toole and his cadre of advisors failed to gain ground on the increasingly unpopular Justin Trudeau precisely because they were so very un-Conservative.
A looting spree in the San Francisco Bay Area continued for a second straight night on Saturday — this time, reaching the suburbs.
A “mass looting” took place at about 9:00 p.m. Saturday evening at the Nordstrom store in Walnut Creek, California, an affluent suburb east of Oakland.

As Parliament prepares to spring back into action on Monday, Canadians have one thing at the top of their mind: the rising cost of living.
That’s the latest from a new Ipsos poll, which found concerns about rising price tags on essentials like groceries and gas are now outranking issues like the COVID-19 pandemic, health care and housing as Canadians’ top concern.
TORONTO—Several thousand people marched in downtown Toronto on Saturday as part of a “Worldwide Freedom” rally to protest COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates.
Rallies were also held in several cities across Canada, including in Ottawa, London, and Calgary, as well as in countries such as Australia, Germany, and Japan.
A gunman has opened fire in Jerusalem’s Old City, killing one person and wounding at least three others.
The gunman, who officials identified as a member of the Palestinian militant group, Hamas, was shot dead by Israeli security forces.
One civilian shot by the gunman died of his wounds in hospital. Another was seriously hurt, and two Israeli police officers were wounded, officials said.
Internal Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev said the attacker had a submachine gun.
There are 741 new cases of COVID-19. 410 cases are in individuals who are not fully vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status and 331 are in fully vaccinated individuals.

Nearly two years into pandemic, experts say messaging needs to evolve: Fear is out, hope is in
With Canadians nearing two full years in the pandemic, persuasive public health messaging has become increasingly difficult. How do you convince people to remain vigilant this long into a crisis?
Yet compelling messaging is critical as the country faces three new challenges: motivating parents to vaccinate their children and adults to get their booster shots, while helping people understand what it means that the pandemic will be with us for some time.
“Science communicators” – researchers who’ve taken it upon themselves to translate science into language the public can understand – believe that pandemic messaging must be ever more honest and closely tailored to specific audiences. But it should also be human and empathetic, with a focus on installing hope.
And… Union loses bid to stop TTC from enforcing COVID-19 vaccine policy
It’s bad enough when someone actually thinks reposting an “I Stand With…” meme is an act of woke resistance. But when the problem is enlarged to a societal scale, it hurts us all. Nothing actually broken ever gets fixed, and a deep sense of cynicism is injected into once-believers when they realize they’ve been conned. We live inside a con job where the appearance of action is mistaken for action.
Former Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commissioner Timothy Denton has some very direct words for Canadians regarding our Liberal Government’s proposed Internet Censorship legislation.
A total of 30,551 fatalities and 1.1 million adverse events due to COVID-19 vaccines have been reported by the European Union’s official database.
The European Medicines Agency site’s figures, through Nov. 13, are from reports regarding the Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and AztraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines.
The U.S. reporting site, the the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, or VAERS, has reported 18,853 deaths and 1.7 million adverse events through Nov. 12.
When there is talk of The Great Depression, the United States and its Dust Bowl often takes centre stage but there were many other places impacted by the depression, and few were affected as severely as Canada.
In this episode, I am going to look at how Canada was impacted by The Great Depression. This is a large topic, so I am going to be taking more of a broad view of how the country was impacted as a whole, with looks at the provinces as well.
House Democrats voted Friday to pass the so-called “Build Back Better” plan, a multi-trillion-dollar welfare and climate change spending bill. They’re heralding it as a major accomplishment that will uplift struggling Americans and revitalize the economy. So, let’s review all the reasons it’s an utterly terrible piece of legislation.
Truck drivers and the country’s major airlines joined with the official Opposition Saturday to criticize the Trudeau’s government’s new public health rules that will apply to international travellers, rules that were announced Friday.
The current, corrupt press corps is opening new doors for free-thinking capitalists.
Media bias went nuclear during the Age of Trump, and reporters chose to double down on their liberal loyalties once Joe Biden took the oath of office. Even progressive journalists like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi started calling out the problem.
Remember how the media fought back against the Hunter Biden laptop story rather than attempt to verify it before Election Day? Or how news outlets ignored the young Biden’s use of the n-word, while burning endless calories punishing country crooner Morgan Wallen for using the toxic word once?
This is concerning.

One day, when sufficient distance has been gained from the Current Year to permit sober reflection on our own era, the recent past will no doubt be seen as a watershed in American political history. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 gave politics a religious sheen for Millennials just coming of age, and for Boomers hoping to avoid confronting the wreckage left in the wake of their rule. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 gave the new religion its devil. From Russia collusion to #MeToo, from Covington Catholic to Judge Kavanaugh, American culture and politics in the years since has been an unbroken series of witch crazes, lynch mobs, and human sacrifices (some successfully carried out, others not). The Democratic Party, the corporate press, and progressive activists openly embraced political violence as a means to achieve policy goals, block political appointments, and now, to attempt to affect court decisions.
