Cory Morgan: Self-Defence Isn’t Vigilantism—It’s an Integral Right of Canadians

When it comes to the right to defend oneself and one’s property in Canada, the nation doesn’t need to change the laws. It must change its attitude. Sections 34 and 35 of the Criminal Code make it clear that citizens may use force to defend themselves and their property. While many Canadians have been criminally charged for defending themselves with force, convictions are rare. The process is the punishment, however, as a person’s life can be put on hold while they navigate the legal system to exonerate themselves.

Why Won’t Liberals Save Big Bird?

After Congress defunded ‘public’ radio and television, liberal nonprofits are scrambling to fund them. But they’re not scrambling very hard. The Knight Foundation, with assets of $2.6 billion and which hands out over $100 million annually, is ponying up a mere $10 million.

Paula Kerger, the president of PBS, alone earns $1.1 million. 5 other PBS execs make over half a million dollars. The Senior Vice President of DEI earns nearly $400,000. That $10 million would hardly even begin to cover the insanely inflated salaries of ‘public’ media executives.

Oasis: the joyous roar of a forgotten people

At Wembley the other week, I and 90,000 others indulged that most lethal of emotions. An emotion so supposedly deadly that entire books have been devoted to examining and dismantling it. Some call it humanity’s ‘dull ache’. Others call it ‘toxic’. Some outright call it ‘dangerous’. And yet there we were, tens of thousands of us, a sea of bucket hats and beers, our throats sore from roaring, our arms flung round perfect strangers, all in the gleeful grip of that most taboo of feelings: nostalgia.

All eyes turn to the Arctic as Canada ramps up defence spending

ICE Station Trudeau

OTTAWA — If war ever comes to Canada, it could appear as an enemy missile soaring over the vast Arctic.

One nightmare scenario goes like this. Russia, emboldened from its assault on Ukraine and intent on recovering more of its lost Soviet sphere, invades the Baltics. Allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) hold true to their vows of collective defence, and some 2,000 Canadian soldiers — stationed today as a deterrence force in Latvia — find themselves on the front line of a new great power conflict.

I do not think Canada is taken seriously as the steward of its own Arctic.

Smug immigrant who self deported slams America’s ‘horrible, evil energy’

A man who claimed he self-deported slammed the United States for its ‘horrible, evil energy’ – and urged others to do the same.

Early Archuleta-Jackson posted a video to TikTok last Wednesday saying he has returned to his former country and is now spending time in Guadalajara, Mexico.

‘I had to go. I had to self-deport,’ he said in the video.

The new eugenics dilemma

What comes to mind when you think about the maximum amount of love a parent can have for their child?

For me, I think of Dick Hoyt pushing his son Rick, who had cerebral palsy, in a wheelchair through the Ironman World Championship course. I think of the parents of Nick Vujicic, born without arms or legs, raising Nick with confidence, and cheering him on as he became an international motivational speaker. I think of the mother of a child with Down Syndrome, choosing each day to recognize the absolute gift of their child. I think of the parent at the dinner table comforting a child upset by a ‘C’ on their report card.

Aviva Klompas: There are no good choices for Israel. Only unbearable ones

For too many around the world, Israel’s war with Hamas is viewed through a lens of moral simplicity: Enough. End the fighting. Bring relief to the people of Gaza. Accept a ceasefire — any ceasefire. Do the “right” thing.

Forget that 50 hostages remain in Gaza. Forget that Hamas vows to repeat October 7. Forget that this week marks one year since six hostages were murdered in captivity — killed in cold blood after yet another round of failed negotiations.

Sauvé: CAF needs to offer a meaningful calling to young recruits, not just a steady job

Recently, stories of radicalization and improper behaviour among military personnel have tainted the Canadian Forces’ public image. How can we expect people to sign up in defence of their country when this is what they see?

Yet even before these scandals, recruitment efforts generally have been flatlining. We need to find the right approach to attract young people looking for meaningful challenges.

I doubt pics of “Bad Ass” women soldiers is the right fix for what ails the CAF.

Inside sorority rush, the blood sport making college girls millionaires

Kylan Darnell can’t walk out of her sorority house without being stopped by fans. She can’t actually walk out of any house without it happening.

Darnell, 21, is the standard bearer for a lucrative new kind of fame. She is a third-year student at the University of Alabama, a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and the “Queen of RushTok”, the frenzied corner of TikTok which charts the trials of aspiring sorority girls during their August recruitment, or “rush week” and the campus lives that they go on to lead.

“I love my sorority,” said Darnell. “I’ve definitely met my bridesmaids. And it’s also given me a career.”

Think tank urges parliament to allow open debate on immigration quotas

Parliament should allow free debate on immigration quotas without dismissing calls for reductions as racist, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute said Thursday.

The Ottawa think tank warned that Canada’s reluctance to face blunt disagreements on immigration has left the country “weakened to the point of serious decline.”

Ottawa Pride parade cancelled after being halted by pro-Palestinian protesters

Ottawa’s annual Pride parade was cancelled on Sunday after it was halted by a local pro-Palestinian advocacy group that blocked the road and demanded to negotiate with organizers.

The group Queers for Palestine — Ottawa (Q4P) halted the parade “with the permission” of the grand marshal, the organization said in a press release issued Sunday afternoon just as the parade was stopped.

“This is what a village looks like!” protesters chanted from Parliament Hill, referencing the “We are a village” theme that Capital Pride was using for 2025.

KLEIN: Politicians silent as Jewish women and children terrorized

Recently in the Winnipeg Sun, guest columnist Lawrence Pinsky KC described a scene that should never occur in a Canadian city. At Folklorama’s Israel Pavilion, Shalom Square, held at the Jewish Community Centre, a mob harassed Jewish community members and their guests. They shouted vile sexualized slurs at women and girls, screamed threats like “Hamas is coming for you,” and played recordings of gunshots and screaming children.

The 1970s Gave Us Industrial Decline. A.I. Could Bring Something Worse.

A silent recession has arrived for recent college graduates. Over the past two years, unemployment among 22‑to-27‑year‑olds with bachelor’s degrees has climbed to levels seen during economic downturns. A college diploma used to be an ironclad job guarantee. Today it seems more like a lottery ticket with shrinking odds.

This plunge is just the beginning. As generative artificial intelligence improves, entry-level and service sector jobs may increasingly disappear, threatening not just workers but also the cities where they live. Recent research by the Brookings Institution shows how San Francisco and San Jose, Calif., New York and Washington could soon face significant job disruption, thanks to the rise of A.I. In San Jose, a striking 43 percent of workers could see A.I. transform half or more of their tasks.
