Star expert explains why the Conservative party is too conservative

The dismantling of conservatism started with Harper, not Poilievre

In these pages and elsewhere, opinion writers have rightly criticized Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for attacking the leadership of the RCMP for not arresting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

This is given as one example of how Poilievre’s overall approach to leading the party has been critiqued for straying from the conservative foundations established by John A. Macdonald and carried through John Diefenbaker and Brian Mulroney to Stephen Harper — an impressive and respected lineage that remained unbroken until the arrival of Poilievre.

This argument, however, misrepresents the history of the current Conservative Party of Canada (CPC)

Jamie Sarkonak: The secret reason Alberta teachers went on strike — skyrocketing immigration

The problem with simply cramming never-before-seen volumes of students who can’t speak English into overcrowded classrooms is that, one day, the teachers will snap. And that’s kind of what we’re seeing in Alberta — though neither the government nor the teachers’ association has made a point of trying to solve the issue.

Most kids have been locked out of schools for a whole month because, we’re told, classes are reaching 40-plus students and because classroom needs are becoming more “complex,” a euphemism for kids with disabilities and/or low English capability. Teachers have been without pay in that time, as their union didn’t build a strike fund over the past 20 years. Alas, the strike ended Tuesday with the passing of back-to-work legislation reinforced by the notwithstanding clause.

Our criminal elites should be rotting in jail for the rest of their scummy lives for having unleashed a tsunami of incompatible cultures on unsuspecting Canadians.

It was an act of pure evil and I doubt Canada will ever recover.

If the goal was to balkanize the populace and undermine society prior to breakup they have succeeded.

Some Dare Call It Treason

The UK Labour Party’s feckless response to CCP espionage.

High treason, a crime so often alleged in our public discourse and so seldom proven in an actual court of law, is now more of a metaphorical device than a felony. It is passing strange that the law of treason should have fallen into such a marked state of decay, considering its location in the very pith and heartwood of the ancient, sprawling, gnarled tree that is our common law tradition. Indeed, the Treason Act of 1351 (25 Edw. 3 Stat. 5. c. 2) is counted among the oldest parliamentary acts still in effect, with only the Statute of Marlborough (1267), the Statute of Westminster (1275), the Quia Emptores (1290), and the iconic Magna Carta predating it. “The objects of the laws are rights and wrongs,” as every good student of Blackstone knows, and what greater wrong is there than to compass, or to effectuate, the murder of your sovereign, or to adhere to your sovereign’s enemies by giving them aid and comfort? And what greater right is there on the part of the sovereign than to have such treachery punished, and punished severely?

Smells awful like Canada’s Liberal Party.

What Oxford Union’s Ousted President-Elect Could Learn from Frank Meyer

George Abaraonye Deposed DEI Oxford Union President

Earlier this month, the Oxford Union held a no-confidence vote in its president-elect George Abaraonye, based on his celebration of Charlie Kirk’s murder. “Charlie Kirk got shot,” Abaraonye wrote in a group chat last month, “let’s f—ing go.” On Instagram, he announced: “Charlie Kirk got shot loool.”

Bizarrely, Abaraonye depicted the campaign to remove him from office as one of “harassment, censorship, and abuse.” Without a hint of self-irony, the young man who indecently cheered Kirk’s murder wrote: “We will not be silenced.”

If Mark Carney has a plan for how to deal with Trump, he might want to tell Canadians what it is

At the closing news conference after meeting Asian leaders in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Monday, Mark Carney said something curious.

When asked whether Donald Trump really called off trade talks with Canada because Doug Ford broadcast an antitariff ad quoting former president Ronald Reagan, the prime minister said: “I would suggest you take the president at his word for his reasons.”

This doesn’t make sense.

Makes sense if you’re in the bag of the CCP.

Nigeria’s Genocide Against Christians ‘Spreading Like a Cancer’

As the genocide against Christians in Nigeria crashes on, a news outlet, TruthNigeria.com, continues to courageously shed light on the atrocities committed by jihadists against Nigerians of all religions.

“Truth Nigeria,” according to its website, “had to be launched to slice through the fog of war and the cloud of false narrative that bedevils mainstream media reporting of what many call a ‘Christian genocide’ in Nigeria that has been spreading like a cancer.”

‘I’m playing blind’ on who killed Barry and Honey Sherman, lead Toronto police detective admits

The homicide detective working the Barry and Honey Sherman case says that after almost eight years, he still has no idea where he is in the probe.

“I’m playing blind,” Det. Const. Dennis Yim told a court, using a sports analogy. “I don’t know where I am on the field.”

Yim was answering questions in a case where the Star is seeking access to police documents filed in support of search warrants. Yim explained that police have yet to clear any of the myriad “persons of interest” in the case. A person of interest, court has heard, is one rung below a suspect — for example, if someone has speculated to police that the person may have been involved, but there is no hard evidence one way or the other.

University Leaders Say ‘Organized Networks,’ Including Iran, Drove Anti-Israel Campus Unrest

Several leaders of prominent universities on Monday said they believe the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic demonstrations that broke out on campuses across the United States during the Jewish state’s war against Hamas were not organic, instead telling a panel audience they believe “organized networks,” and even foreign governments, may have driven the unrest.

In Canada it was the Liberal Party.

Doug Ford urges U.S. ambassador to ‘apologize’ for f-bombs aimed at Ontario diplomat

Premier Doug Ford has denounced the U.S. ambassador to Canada for profanely attacking Ontario’s representative to Washington at a gala reception.

“Absolutely unacceptable. It’s unbecoming of an ambassador,” Ford said Wednesday at Queen’s Park.

The premier said Pete Hoekstra, U.S. President Donald Trump’s ambassador, should “apologize” to David Paterson, Ontario’s Washington point person.
