Conrad Black: How Pierre Trudeau duped Canadians into taking pride in their substandard health-care system
The idea of equal treatment for everybody, regardless of their means, was always just a socialist fairy tale.
EXCLUSIVE: CDC Director Walensky’s Husband Received $5 Million in HHS Grants – and That’s Just the Start of It
When it comes to the swamp that has become D.C., nothing should surprise anyone anymore, especially when it comes to officials within the government using resources to personally enrich themselves or failing to disclose when their families stand to benefit from their governmental “service.” While the Left was consistently worried about Trump and his family using the Presidency to enrich themselves, they seem much less concerned about Hunter Biden’s travels on the American taxpayer dime to peddle his father’s influence – or by his current career/money-laundering scheme as an “artist.”

If Mandates Fail, What Will Politicians Do for an Encore?
The resort to “mandatory” measures by many governments around the world is, on the one hand, regarded as a power grab by publics who have seen once supposedly sacrosanct “rights” disappear one after the other, but it is also a sign of growing desperation among leaders who are no longer confident they can eradicate covid and return to “normal.” They are compensating for their powerlessness over nature by intensifying their power over men. The idea, born of frustration with the partial failure of previous and much-touted efforts, is that with enough control, the march to normalcy can be resumed.
The government could well end up unintentionally uniting groups it has spent decades playing against each other to increase federal power.

A feminist cafe that charged 18% more to men disappears due to lack of customers
The cafe page on Tripadvisor has a majority of very negative comments. Some users criticized the lack of hygiene of the local and the staff (“it seems like the management trawled homeless ghettos for their staff and then did not pay them enough to afford soap or razors,” one client says), and there are also critical of the high prices of the products and their poor presentation. But the most striking are the complaints of disdain for male customers: “Spend half an hour trying to get a waitress to come over and when they finally showed up they told me I’d have to wait because I was a “cis gendered white man” and there were women who needed to be served first. According to the waitress I’d have to wait until ALL women in the shop were served before they’d take my order, even those who came in after me. I left at that moment and will never return,” a client says. Another user complained in November 2018 of the cafe policy: “extreme toxic femininity and literally attempting to make men feel bad.”
