Braindead Moral Relativism
“Moral Relativism” is the watchword of the day, thanks to Senator Ted Cruz. He made an example of one of the American right’s more prominent proponents of the notion that there are few ethical distinctions between the United States and its allies and the despotic criminal regimes that are devoted to remaking the U.S.-led world order on their terms.
Gavin Newsom Sipped Cabernet While Los Angeles Burned
As riots engulfed Los Angeles and mobs vandalized public buildings, incinerated vehicles, and assaulted law enforcement officers, California governor Gavin Newsom was enjoying a swanky wine-tasting party in Napa Valley.
The wine-tasting was held on the afternoon of June 7, 2025, at the Odette Estate Winery, which Newsom co-founded in 2011. Dubbed “Vineyard Vibes,” the event was a fundraiser for the PlumpJack Foundation, founded by Newsom’s sister, and featured “contemporary yet sophisticated” wines, live jazz music, and locally made pizza and smash burgers. “It’s the perfect kick-off to summer fun,” read promotional language. “The fete will take place on the Winery Crushpad, where we’ll gather for music, food, conversation, and delicious wine!”
‘Racially segregated program’ at CU Boulder draws federal civil rights complaint
A University of Colorado at Boulder graduate program advertised for “Black women” is facing a federal civil rights complaint.
The “Boulder Black Blossoms” program at the university’s Office of Graduate Access and Retention “aims to support the lived and individual experiences and achievements of Black women.” Participants in “Boulder Black Blossoms” receive a $1,000 stipend. The program is currently accepting applications for the upcoming academic year.
How Canada’s dairy cartel keeps fumbling our foreign trade negotiations
As Canada is actively trying to expand its trade with the non-U.S. world, Parliament has just entrenched the one thing that has scuppered more trade negotiations than anything else.
This week, the first bill passed by the 45th Parliament ended up being a Bloc Québécois-championed proposal to shield the Canadian supply management system from any foreign trade negotiations.
Iran’s supreme leader mocked mercilessly after bizarre social media posts resurface
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is being mocked mercilessly over a slew of bizarre social media posts that resurfaced as the Israel-Iran war broke out — including his musings about treating a woman right and even being “naughty & playful” as a school kid.
The odd posts — most of which are typed out in SMS-style abbreviations — date back at least a decade and are in stark contrast to the anti-Israel and war rhetoric that now fills the social media feed of the 86-year-old leader and most senior cleric in the extremist Islamic Republic.
CHARLEBOIS: The fall of artificial colours in food
This week, General Mills announced it will remove all artificial colours from its U.S. products, just hours after Kraft Heinz made a similar commitment. Both companies are giving themselves two years to complete the transition — a realistic timeline, given that reformulating food products can be as complex as redesigning a vehicle. It typically takes two to three years to test, approve and scale up new ingredients.
‘Sex and the City‘ Star Cynthia Nixon‘s Trans Child Is ‘On a Hunger Strike‘ in Support of Gaza
HBO’s Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon says her transgender child — whose grandparents were Holocaust survivors — is “on hunger strike” in support of Gaza.
Nixon’s 28-year-old daughter — who identifies as male and goes by the name Seph Mozes — is “on hunger strike right now” in support of Gaza in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the actress told Newsweek.
Foreign ministry criticizes CBC for changing Taiwan reference from country to ‘self-ruled island’
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday criticized CBC News for changing its description of Taiwan from a country to a “self-ruled island.”
On June 14, Canada’s largest news broadcaster posted an article on the alleged ties between Bliss and Wisdom, a Buddhist group with operations on Prince Edward Island, and the CCP. The piece originally described a high-ranking monk from Taiwan as traveling “between his home country, Prince Edward Island, and China” in 2023 at the invitation of a Buddhist group that reports to the United Front Work Department.

Trump Calls for 2020 Election Fraud Special Prosecutor
Donald Trump called for a special prosecutor to investigate 2020 election fraud just after the FBI revealed evidence indicating that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) did indeed interfere in the controversial and highly contested election that ended with Joe Biden in office.
The vegetable did not win.
As the U.S. trade war drags, CBC is instructed to plant the seed that Canada should improve ties with China
As the U.S. trade war drags, calls grow for Canada to cautiously improve ties with China
As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government works to reshape its economic policies amid an unpredictable administration south of the border, Canadian businesses that trade with China say Ottawa needs to find ways to expand exports there — and fast.
While the Canada-China relationship has been stymied in recent years, there are signals of relations improving.
Policy for profit every time.
Sarah Champion: I’m called racist for taking on grooming gangs
The Rotherham MP has spent over a decade campaigning against child sex abuse by grooming gangs, but has been vilified by some on the left. She tells Alice Thomson of her determination for justice
Sarah Champion did not go into politics to wage war against child sex abuse rings or become a voice for vulnerable teenage girls preyed on by gangs of men of predominantly Pakistani origin who groomed, trafficked and raped them. When she became the Labour MP for Rotherham she did not know they existed.
“I had been running the local children’s hospice as CEO when I became an MP in 2012 and I remember reading an article about this 15-year-old Rotherham girl who had a baby by any of three different men and was seen as a little scrubber, and I thought that’s not right. Then a girl was found dead in a river, and they said she’d gone mad. Finally, a young white girl came to us with a poorly baby and her boyfriend was a much older Asian man; the relationship seemed odd.”
I served in Justin Trudeau’s PMO. This is what I think of Mark Carney’s first big mistake
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 has generated a lot of chatter. Unfortunately, there’s a lot that has been missing in the conversation.
For starters, the Indian government’s belief that Canada is soft on extremists seeking to establish an independent Sikh state known as Khalistan isn’t exactly new. In fact, despite the fact I have now entered middle age, it’s about as old as I am. But as India-Canada relations appear to be entering a new phase under Prime Minister Carney, it’s worth considering what we are giving up by welcoming the Modi government back into our good graces.
We are a nation of Fifth Columns forever divided without hope of regaining a unifying identity.
Congressman claims he was run off the road by pro-Palestine protester
A Republican congressman has claimed he was run off the road by a “deranged” pro-Palestinian protester.
Ohio lawmaker Max Miller said he was forced off the road on his way to work by a man who issued death threats against him and his family before waving a Palestinian flag while driving off.
Mr Miller, who is Jewish, recounted the incident in a video on X and pledged to hold the perpetrator responsible, saying: “I will not hide in the face of this blatant anti-semitic violence”.
