If nothing else, Danielle Smith is a disruptor

Every so often a Canadian politician comes along and decides he or she is ready to challenge the orthodoxy. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was Saskatchewan Premier Tommy Douglas, who insisted that universal, publicly funded medical care was possible in Canada, despite strong opposition from health care providers, which culminated in a doctors’ strike.

In the 1980s and 1990s, it was NDP MP Svend Robinson, who introduced a private member’s bill to legalize same-sex marriage years before it would actually become law (he was also the first openly gay MP). And roughly 10 years ago, it was then-Conservative leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier, who centred his candidacy on a pledge to scrap Canada’s supply management system for milk, eggs and poultry. Mr. Bernier lost the leadership because of it.

Trump Derangement Explained: The Tragedy of the Unripped Bodice.

In my last post I used the metaphor of a sound system to explain how normal people with no particular prejudice or animus have been swayed by exposure to the rants of haters, propaganda and social pressure into a flash mob of antisemitism and self righteous anger. I posited the existence of a mental state in which extreme stimulation results in the excitement of brain activity so great that it exceeds a person’s capacity to process it normally. Past that limit thought and behavior is subject to distortion. I called it Cognitive Distortion as it is clearly a more powerful variant of Cognitive Dissonance In case you missed that post it just the last one before this. But first, a story…

Pope Leo, slashing the throats of Jews and Christians is not due to the economy

This week, another Christian school was attacked, 300 children kidnapped. The reaction of the media and the world is indifference, while Pope Leo is in denial.

Manga is a Christian in Nigeria, the most dangerous place in the world for Christians, the country where a Christian is killed every two hours. Manga was supposed to be one of them. He was returning home as usual after university. His mother was preparing dinner. Terrorists burst into his house. They dragged Manga, his father, and his brother outside, while his mother and younger siblings hid in a room.

Muslims desecrate public spaces with death cult rituals as an act of aggression

The National Council of Canadian Muslims says it is considering legal action after the Quebec government tabled a new secularism bill Thursday.

Quebec’s minister for secularism, Jean-François Roberge, presented the Bill 9, which builds on Quebec’s existing legislation, Bill 21, by proposing a ban on face coverings and religious symbols in schools, as well as public prayer.

“Let’s not kid ourselves: this bill targets Muslims,” said National Council of Canadian Muslims CEO Stephen Brown – Yup Yup Yup.

Qatar’s Campus Conquest: Importing Muslim Brotherhood Policies in a War for the Future of the West

Qatar continues to conduct one of the most extensive foreign influence operations in modern history. Through hundreds of billions of dollars — estimated at up to a trillion dollars — funneled into Western universities, research centers, media platforms and political advocacy networks, Qatar has become the leading global patron of the Muslim Brotherhood in pushing an ideological agenda aimed at reshaping democratic societies from within.

German Cities Nearing Insolvency Supporting Refugees and Asylum Seekers

There’s a lesson in here somewhere, but it will go over the same heads shrieking for diversity and compassion the same way it always does, even as we watch Germany collapse in real time from every single progressive-induced ill they’d impose on us – all of this welcoming windmills to world wanderers to take over and consume your country.

Recent price declines won’t solve Toronto’s housing affordability crisis

House prices in Toronto are declining. But the city’s affordability crisis is far from over — and government policies will likely make it worse.

While most Torontonians know there’s a crisis, the numbers make it clear. According to our new study, in 2023 (the latest year of available data), a family earning the city’s median after-tax income ($60,510) had to save $216,240 (the equivalent of 42.9 months of its after-tax income) for a 20% down payment on a typical home of any type (single-detached, semi-detached, condominium). But even if that family could somehow clear this monumental hurdle, it then had to dedicate 110.2% of its after-tax income for monthly mortgage payments ($5,557) — a financial impossibility, unless the family can share housing costs (e.g. live-in tenants) or rely on financial support from elsewhere.

Germans, Readying Against Islamist Terror, Are Fortifying Christmas Markets

With the Christian Advent season starting Sunday, several German towns are abandoning a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages — Christmas markets. German cities that will hold the traditional outdoor markets are offering more than stalls selling mulled wine, grilled bratwurst, and hand dipped candles. To reassure the public, the markets feature surveillance cameras, plainclothes police officers, and concrete barriers.

Muslim seeks to impose Islamist cult rituals on local school district

New Brunswick parent concerned new religious accommodation policy will alienate students

A new policy at a New Brunswick school district that requires parents to apply for approval for religious accommodations has one parent concerned it will alienate students.

“Their process (creates) all of these administrative hoops for people to jump through in order to access very basic rights to prayer — like a quiet room to pray or a quiet corner to pray,” said parent Hafsah Mohammad, whose family is Muslim.
