What better way to welcome kindergarten students back to school than with the principal doing a pole dance?

Geoff Russ: Alberta separatists can’t be ignored if Canada is to survive
People who choose to live in Ottawa tend to dislike Preston Manning. The city’s disdain for him is on the same scale as Western Canada’s anger at the memory of Pierre Trudeau.
When the Globe and Mail published the former Reform leader’s warning that Mark Carney poses a threat to national unity on Wednesday, that vitriol arose once again, scolding him for failing to toe the Team Canada line. That does not change the fact that Manning has a point.
CBC – The most important election of our lifetime? These Albertans say it’s high stakes
Apparently Tranny rights are big on the list of voter concerns in Alberta.
WTF?

Catholicism on the Decline in the US
There is a crisis of belief in the Catholic Church. Will the priests and bishops of America remedy that?
American Catholics ought to be alarmed but, in a way, inspired by some recent statistics on the Catholic faith in the U.S. The Pew Research Center published its Religious Landscape Study recently, including an analysis of the habits, beliefs, and religious practices of Catholics in the U.S. Although nearly a fifth (19 percent) of Americans identify as Catholics, that’s down from nearly a quarter (24 percent) in 2007. It doesn’t get much better.
Belmont Club: How Will ‘Liberation Day’ Be Remembered?
Will the “Liberation Day” tariff policies of Donald Trump work or end in failure? Whenever there’s a question that cannot categorically be answered by physics or mathematics, the only recourse is to wait and see. Most human actions, operating as they do against the complex background of history and human society, cannot be easily predicted. No one on June 6, 1944, knew for sure if D-Day would succeed. In the lead-up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, most observers thought Kyiv’s goose was cooked. As the New York Times said in “The Secret History of the War in Ukraine”:
GUNTER: CBC pledge shows Carney government would compound Trudeau Liberals economic damage
If you want an indication of how little things would change with a Carney government (versus a Trudeau one), just look at a promise new Liberal leader Mark Carney made about CBC funding during a French-language interview in Montreal on Friday.
Le Pen calls embezzlement conviction a ‘witch hunt’
France’s far-right National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen has called a court ruling banning her from running for office for five years a “witch hunt”.
“I won’t give up,” she told thousands of flag-waving supporters in Place Vauban, close to the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday.
She was on Monday found guilty of helping to embezzle €2.9m (£2.5m) of EU funds between 2004 and 2016 for use by her party. Le Pen has appealed.
At the rally on Sunday she claimed the ruling was a “political decision”, adding: “We are not asking to be above the law, but to not be below the law.”

Australia: Heading for Jihadist Conflict
The happy-go-lucky country of Australia, located at the far-end of the globe, away from the geopolitical turmoil in Europe and the Middle East, is a peaceful and pleasant place to live – or should be.
Most of the immigrants seem to have assimilated comfortably, enjoying generous benefits such as state-sponsored medical care, welfare packages, high wages, vast open spaces and low crime. Life is good in Australia, with thousands of applicants from all over the world keenly seeking a better life in the sun. Although with a relatively small population of some 25 million, four of its cities are currently rated among the world’s top 20 most livable.
Poilievre defends candidate accused of denying residential schools history
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is standing by a candidate in British Columbia, even as calls mount among various Indigenous leaders for the nominee to resign, accusing Aaron Gunn of denying the history of residential schools.
“He’s not denied the impact of residential schools, that’s just misinformation,” Poilievre told reporters Saturday when asked about his support for Gunn, the candidate for North Island-Powell River.
Too much diversity ….
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

BBC accused of ‘Islamist propaganda’ for calling Muslim converts ‘reverts’
The BBC has been accused of parroting “Islamist propaganda” after describing Muslim converts as “reverts”.
The controversial term was used throughout an article about Eid – the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan – published by BBC News on Friday.
The term “revert” is used by some to back claims that Muslim converts are merely returning to the faith all humans are born into before being corrupted by Christianity, other religions or atheism.
Maniac with meat cleaver attacks several kids in horrifying, bloody scene on NYC street – before he’s shot by NYPD cops: police
Four young girls were slashed with a meat cleaver in Brooklyn on Sunday morning when a relative went on a deranged and bloody rampage — before he was shot by cops, officials said.
Police rushed to a home on 84th Street around 10:15 a.m. after one of the victims — a wounded 11-year-old girl — locked herself in a room and called 911, telling the dispatcher that her uncle had stabbed her and her siblings.
How the Conservative and Liberal federal election campaigns are treating the media
On Wednesday morning, as Pierre Poilievre wrapped up the press conference portion of a Bay Street breakfast event, a clamour erupted at the back of the room. To those watching on TV, it sounded as if protesters had begun heckling the Conservative Leader. In fact, it was a handful of reporters, apparently frustrated by the campaign’s tight control of access, shouting questions they hoped Mr. Poilievre might answer.
The incident marked the second time tensions flared on the trail this week, after some campaign handlers attempted to physically restrain reporters trying to ask questions of Mr. Poilievre at a Tuesday morning event on a public wharf in St. John’s.

‘Liberation Day’—For Mexico
While most of the world was left shocked and dismayed by President Donald Trump’s tariff roll-out on “Liberation Day” earlier this week, at least one foreign government was quietly celebrating.
“This is great for the country,” Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said the next day. Mexico and Canada, as part of the USMCA free trade agreement, avoided the imposition of any additional tariffs during Trump’s announcement Wednesday, while the average tariff rate on U.S. imports is set to skyrocket to 29 percent from just two percent previously.
