Halifax’s public library is standing firm in support of free speech as an activist group tries to get Abigail Shrier’s “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” removed from library shelves. True North’s Andrew Lawton says the library is making the right call, noting that woke activists aren’t used to anyone telling them ‘No’.
Many of us can’t imagine popping a cricket into our mouths as a snack. But studies show that eating insects could be good for you and the planet.
Insects are a great source of protein and minerals, such as iron, zinc and magnesium. They include a protein called chitin that encourages healthy bacteria to grow in your stomach.
Also, 100 grams of insects (crickets, beetles, red ants and grasshoppers) contains almost the same amount of protein as meat, but with less fat and fewer calories.
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden issued a lengthy proclamation for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month.” He celebrated the openly LGBT members of his administration, pushed the Orwellian Equality Act, and condemned the states that are defending fairness in women’s sports against the transgender movement. Yet perhaps his most notable move involved the horrific Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016.
The GOP must die. The Grand Old Party is over and unsalvageable. The name finds its origin in the post-Civil War era as the party that saved the Union, but whatever positive connotations may have come with the GOP moniker are dead and gone now. Today, GOP conjures images of gray hairs at the country club and board meetings at Halliburton, and it seems the only thing it is interested in saving is the status quo. There was a time when these perceptions could be dismissed as partisan pejoratives, but at some point, Republican Party leadership chose to embrace and embody the characterization. Fool me twice, shame on me.

On Tuesday, Mr. Trudeau was opening a meeting of mayors, smiling, giving shout-outs to retiring big-city leaders, before he switched – “First and foremost,” he said – to a 2½-minute statement about the failure of residential schools, and the national need for reconciliation. And then he went back to the urban agenda.
A former Miss Iraq who was forced to flee her native country after posting a selfie with Miss Israel said at a pro-Israel rally 25 percent of the global Muslim population are radical Islamists who want to eradicate the U.S. and Israel.
Witnesses who appeared before the Commons special committee on Canada-China relations this week said they were troubled by comments Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made about racism — comments that left Conservatives fuming.
During a debate last Wednesday about the dismissal of two Chinese scientists from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, Trudeau appeared to suggest that Conservative MPs were feeding anti-Asian sentiments by asking questions.
New emails obtained by Buzzfeed through a Freedom of Information Act show National Institute of Health Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was told by NIH scientist Kristian Andersen on January 31, 2020 that Wuhan coronavirus looked “potentially engineered.” In other words, it was manipulated in a lab through gain of function research.
Two trustees with the Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WRCDSB) left their positions over what one calls the board’s domination by a “newly created religion of Wokeism.”
Excessive money-printing, deficit spending, and a move towards a Universal Basic Income will all further destroy the incentive to work, produce, and achieve that has made our country successful.
A JavaScript file in the works has been discovered on the official Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) website that lists “Canada” and “Canadian” as banned words for this year’s E3 virtual event.
With a physical E3 2021 event canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the program’s organizer, offers four-day public broadcasts, virtual showrooms, lounges, forums and more. through a portal and online application.
Given that change, it makes sense for ESA to seek to moderate public discourse for offensive content, but it is less clear why certain words such as “Canada”, “Canadian”, “toejam” or “women’s rap” were blocked.
White House coronavirus adviser and long-time U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci’s upcoming book has been scrubbed from and altered on online listings, amid criticism that he is profiting from the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
Trump senior aide Jason Miller announced the end of the “From The Desk Of Donald J. Trump” blog Wednesday morning, saying it “will not be returning.” Trump first announced the site in early May, less than a month before its demise. Miller confirmed on Twitter that the removal of the blog is a precursor to Trump joining a social media platform, though he did not offer any details.
The study led UNICEF to believe that there is no conclusive evidence to prove that pornography harms children, and, therefore, that “any efforts to block children from accessing pornography online might infringe on their human rights.”
A Reuters account of President Biden’s Tulsa talk, June 1, reported that the “Intelligence Community” has “concluded” that white supremacists constitute “‘the most lethal threat to the homeland.'”
“Free Speech is Censorship” and “Censorship is Free Speech.”
A few years ago the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) was demanding government regulations that would force internet providers to carry the content of members like Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Now it’s suing Florida to fight regulations that would force some of those same members to carry the content of ordinary Americans.
It’s no use pretending they’re a Right-wing fantasy
One of the most common tactics in public debate today is known as “bait and switch”: you believe you are being sold one thing, only for the deal to be changed behind your back and something else put in its place.
The rainbow flag has become the ultimate symbol of our me, me, me society.
I see the flag-shaggers are out in force. No, not working-class people who hang the Union flag from their living-room window as an expression of pride in their nation. I’m talking about the Pride flag. That omnipresent rainbow eyesore. A virtue-signal made cloth. The flag no one can escape. Yep, it’s Pride Month, which means that everywhere you go for the next four weeks – the bank, the supermarket, Maccy D’s – you’ll have this flag waved in your face to remind you not to be such a horrible, homophobic piece of shit. Happy Pride Month!
Google’s head of diversity strategy said in a 2007 blog post that Jews have an “insatiable appetite for war” and an “insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.” The comments were part of a longer meditation from Kamau Bobb, now head of diversity strategy at Google, that also slammed Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon that same year.
Bobb was at the time a research associate in technology at Georgia Tech, according to his LinkedIn. The post, titled “If I Were A Jew,” described how he believed Jewish people should view the Middle East conflict.
It will do whatever is necessary to become the world’s leading superpower, including engaging in a global campaign of economic espionage.
Grand theft auto is a persistent crime in America, a felony in most states with jail sentences up to 10 years and a fine of $10,000, depending upon the value of the car and any valuables left inside. Car theft is a lucrative pursuit. Thieves steal an average of 2,400 vehicles a day for a grand total of around 873,000 stolen cars in 2020, a 9 percent increase over the previous year. It is a telling sign of our times that one of the most popular action/adventure games is Grand Theft Auto, with over 280 million units sold. Now imagine a gang of thieves organized to steal not our cars and trucks and RVs but an invaluable national resource: our research and development in modern technology.
And the many Quisling enablers of our “China Class” are willing accomplices.
