Sabrina Maddeaux: Chrystia Freeland needs to take her mask off and keep her shoes on
It’s official. Canadian politicians are world leaders; not in economic policy, COVID response, or providing clean water to their own people, but in below-the-ankle fashion statements. No other nations’ top officials have grabbed so many headlines with tales of colourful socks and, now, photos of bare feet at G7 meetings.
Nickelodeon Taps Drag Queen To Teach Kids About The Pride Flag
Nickelodeon, the children’s network, debuted a video over the weekend featuring drag queen Nina West explaining the colors of the LGBTQ Pride flag, the latest in a series of materials aimed at explaining Pride month to Nickelodeon viewers, most of whom are children.

Fauci Warned World Leaders in 2020 That COVID Could Be the Result of a Lab Leak
Dr. Anthony Fauci spent over a year publicly dismissing the theory that COVID-19 originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but more than a year ago he briefed world leaders that the virus may have leaked from the lab.
Judge Reinstates Loudoun County Teacher Who Was Fired For Refusing To Use Anti-Science Trans Pronouns
In a victory for free speech and academic freedom, a judge just ruled that Loudoun County teacher Byron “Tanner” Cross must be reinstated to his job.
Cross made national headlines after he slammed proposals that would bring transgender medical treatments into local Virginia schools and would force teachers to use students’ chosen pronouns, regardless of their biological sex. Cross said he wouldn’t use transgender students’ chosen pronouns, since they’re inconsistent with the biological sexes of the children.
7-Eleven Chooses Wokeness Over Convenience With EV Charging Stations
While they virtue-signal, everyone else gets to wait.
Convenience stores are about … convenience. People go there chiefly in order to get out of there, and quickly. Otherwise they’d go someplace else.
That’s why they’re willing to pay more for a bag of chips and a six-pack than you would at the grocery store.
God loves flags, apparently
Noticeably absent from the State Department’s rainbow bacchanalia this year are those embassies in Muslim nations
When it comes to former president Trump and the gays, one of the innumerable enduring myths perpetrated by media claims he banned US embassies from flying the rainbow gay Pride flag during the month of June. This lie is a personal favorite as a radiant example of the media’s pettiness during the Trump years and the degree to which they’ll just make something up or, at the very least, refuse to conduct the tiniest bit of due diligence to fact-check a falsehood they want so badly to be true.
GOLDSTEIN: Ford’s fiscal plan as bad as Wynne’s and McGuinty’s, report says
Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government is following the same failed financial policies of the previous Dalton McGuinty-Kathleen Wynne Liberal governments of 2003-18, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
An Orchestrated Hoax
It can now be said publicly: The massive public campaign to convince and even compel the world to accept the idea that SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19, arose naturally from a meat market in Wuhan was a hoax.
The gory details are contained in a bombshell investigative report in the magazine Vanity Fair. This alone is surprising. Vanity Fair is a culture and trends magazine, not noted for this type of serious inquiry. Yet Katherine Eban’s in-depth article is thoroughly researched, with multiple named sources, and written in the style of a detective story.
Death of Boko Haram’s leader spells trouble for Nigeria and its neighbors
Several times in the past, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau was declared dead, only to reappear in videos taunting the government of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. Nevertheless, Nigerian security expert Kabir Adamu is fairly sure that this time Shekau was killed. “Every sort of source that could confirm the information has verified that it is true,” he told DW.
Boko Haram’s rival, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), claimed that Shekau detonated a suicide vest during a gunfight in Sambisa forest on May 18, to avoid being taken prisoner and made to renounce the leadership of his group.
Why a Judge Has Georgia Vote Fraud on His Mind: ‘Pristine’ Biden Ballots That Looked Xeroxed
When Fulton County, Georgia, poll manager Suzi Voyles sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph R. Biden. One after another, the absentee votes contained perfectly filled-in ovals for Biden—except that each of the darkened bubbles featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a tiny crescent, indicating they’d been marked with toner ink instead of a pen or pencil.
AOC condemns Kamala Harris for telling Guatemalan migrants not to come to US
On her first foreign trip as vice-president, Harris visited Guatemala on Monday. At a press conference with Guatemala’s president, Alejandro Giammattei, the former California senator spoke about investigating corruption and human trafficking in Central America, and described a future where Guatemalans could find “hope at home”.
But she also had a clear message that undocumented Guatemalan migrants would not find solace at the US border under the Biden administration.
“I want to be clear to folks in the region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border,” she said. “Do not come. Do not come.”
Later Monday, Oscasio-Cortez condemned Harris on Twitter, calling her comments “disappointing to see”.
Fauci Continues to Mislead Us About China
Whom does Fauci work for?
As chief medical adviser to President Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci is extremely influential. People worldwide look to the U.S. for leadership, and he is the face of the U.S. in fighting the deadly virus originally discovered in Wuhan, China.
As new evidence increasingly points to the possibility that the coronavirus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Fauci, who had been singing along with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in an attempt to dismiss such a possibility, has now admitted a lab leak is possible. But even after such a belated admission, he continues to mislead us about China.
Ryerson University faces calls to change its name
They hacked off the head from the statue of Egerton Ryerson, now they say his name is next on the chopping block.
For them, ditching it can’t come soon enough.
Not good enough I say! Bulldoze the entire school and do not rebuild. Only then can we erase its memory forever! In fact do this for all our universities!
Gee being progressive is fun!
Caving In
We are in a literally Orwellian world now. Until a couple of days ago the headline on this Washington Post story from February 2020 read:
Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked.
Now it reads:
Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus fringe theory that scientists have disputed.
