Never forget

Never forget

I was getting ready for work when news broke of the first plane. A colleague and I were heading for a meeting at Vancouver’s airport.

By the time we got turned around the airport was in chaos. Black SUV’s, parked aircraft and a flood of exiting travelers.

Kathy and I caught up with each later that day. 10 years later we would attend the 911 anniversary in New York.

We will not forget Islam and its Quislings.

We will not forget those who lost their lives..

AOC and Mamdani are seen LAUGHING together while names of dead 9/11 victims are read out

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were caught laughing together at the 9/11 25th anniversary memorial service on Friday while the names of victims were being read out by their relatives.

The Democrats were seen bursting into laughter at the solemn Ground Zero event in lower Manhattan, at the same moment that mourners stood silently around them.

A relative of a victim was seen weeping on the memorial seconds before the camera cut to Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez, while victims’ loved ones stood on stage reading the names of the deceased.

Trump’s clash with Canada is his latest imperialistic embarrassment

Trump’s clash with Canada is his latest imperialistic embarrassment

Trumpism is the lowest stage of imperialism. “We’re not going to invade Greenland. We’re going to buy it,” Donald Trump reportedly told the annual black-tie dinner on 1 February of the private Alfalfa Club, an assemblage of prominent Washington figures, a number of whom he had publicly humiliated, and others he was investigating or suing. “It’s never been my intention to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela can be 53rd.” The room greeted several of his remarks with dead silence. His cosplay as the Pirate King was not received as a good-humored takeoff from a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. He went on. “So many people in the room I hate,” he said in a display of honesty. “Most of you I like,” he claimed. Then, at his peak euphoria, he flew off to Mar-a-Lago to plan his attack on Iran, which took place 27 days later.

Guardian ahead.

Cringe Canadiana is the worst response to Trump’s economic aggression

Cringe Canadiana is the worst response to Trump’s economic aggression

At a border crossing in B.C. on Tuesday, Premier David Eby showcased one of the more embarrassing side effects of the ongoing trade war with the United States. After a performance by a rapper named OGR-Scintilla, who performs parodies of pop songs using Canadian-themed lyrics, the B.C. Premier took to the podium wearing a red-and-black plaid jacket, which he dubbed “the single most Canadian piece of clothing” he owns.

Hey, Germany. It’s Legitimate to Limit Immigration.

Hey, Germany. It’s Legitimate to Limit Immigration.

Just weeks after far-left candidates won surprising victories in Democrat primaries in Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Colorado and New York City for the Senate and House in the United States, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has won a widely predicted victory in the election last Sunday for the legislature of Sachsen-Anhalt, one of Germany’s 16 federal states.

Sunniest of Mornings, Grimmest of Days

Sunniest of Mornings, Grimmest of Days

In August 2001, I was fresh out of college, living with four roommates in a converted TriBeCa loft that offered a panoramic view of lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center, standing proudly just eight blocks away.

I found the apartment on Church and Chambers Streets through dumb luck. A friend of my brother’s was moving out and needed someone to take her place to live with four very cool and attractive women who would be moving out just weeks after she did.

As Patel and Hoekstra Warned Canada Over CBC’s 9/11 Guidance, FBI Personnel at U.S. Posts Were Sent Home, Source Says

OTTAWA – In the escalating controversy over CBC News guidance directing journalists not to describe the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism, FBI personnel assigned to American diplomatic posts in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver were instructed to leave their workplaces and go home, according to a U.S. law-enforcement source with knowledge of interagency communications surrounding the incident.

Volkswagen’s Electric Suicide Pact

Volkswagen’s Electric Suicide Pact

Volkswagen is in trouble, and its very survival is now in question. The great German automaker is in peril largely due to the decision of European political leaders to impose an all-electric future on the European auto industry. But VW’s dire situation also stems from its eager embrace of that vision. Volkswagen acquiesced to the EV mandate without any pushback, pledging to be all-electric in Europe by 2035, and all-electric globally soon thereafter. Unfortunately for Volkswagen, the European Union allowed the import of cheap EVs subsidized by the Chinese government to capture much of the (forcibly-compelled) EV market in Europe.

The populist right is rising around the world. Why not in Canada?

The populist right is rising around the world. Why not in Canada?

All over the democratic world, the hard right – nationalist, populist, anti-immigration, contemptuous of democratic norms and cozy with authoritarian regimes – is on the march.

The United States, of course, is the most prominent example: Under Donald Trump it has become a shining city on a hill for right-wing nutters the world over. But look around. In Germany, the militantly nativist, pro-Russia AfD, some of whose leading figures could fairly be described as neo-Nazi, has just won an election for the first time, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is the largest opposition party in the Bundestag and is now in first place in some national polls.

Even the Elbow people will be awakened once they realize they’ve been usurped by mass immigration Mr. Coyne.

Andrew is just a typist for Carney and his globalist pals and he absolutely hates democracy.

The Invasion of Britain: The UK No Longer Belongs to Its Own People

The Invasion of Britain: The UK No Longer Belongs to Its Own People

“Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith,” Winston Churchill wrote of Islam in the late 1890s when he was still a young man.

“It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science — the science against which it had vainly struggled — the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

It now reads like a prophecy about the current fate of the country he led. Britain is falling – hard. Worse, the British government appears to be facilitating its fall.

JAY GOLDBERG: There never has been a better time for Carney to scrap Trudeau’s alcohol escalator tax

JAY GOLDBERG: There never has been a better time for Carney to scrap Trudeau’s alcohol escalator tax

The federal government’s undemocratic alcohol escalator tax is devastating Canada’s domestic alcohol industry.

With Prime Minister Mark Carney just having raised prices for Canadians by imposing a new wave of tariffs on U.S. goods entering Canada from the United States, there never has been a better time to axe the escalator tax.

ChatGPT Completely Nukes Kenya’s College Essay Writing Gig Economy

Artificial intelligence was supposed to liberate students from academic drudgery, letting them quickly access links and information across a wide array of subjects and make their scholarship smarter and more efficient.

However, as I noted in previous posts, AI has made academic dishonesty more prevalent, triggering a cascade of unintended consequences.

But not all of the consequences are bad.
