Today is Transgender Day of Visibility and I’d love for you to meet the person who created this very special holiday.

The Left’s Imaginary Covid ‘Reckoning’
Even when conservatives are right, they’re right in the wrong way, liberals appear to be saying.
When I first came across Jonathan Chait’s new Atlantic piece, “Why the Covid Reckoning Is So One-Sided,” I assumed the answer would be that Democrats had been the ones relentlessly and tragically wrong about virtually everything during the pandemic. No such luck.
In Mr. Chait’s telling, the left remains uncannily open-minded, always striving for truth, while the dogmatic Right remains hopelessly bogged down in “pathological incuriosity.” Even when conservatives are right, they’re right in the wrong way.
After ‘Snow White,’ a Chance to Replace Hollywoke
If Hollywood is to recover from the ‘Snow White’ debacle, they will have to make use of the traditionalist writers they have long ignored.
Everything you need to know about the current state of American culture can be learned in this weekend’s movie box-office report. Disney’s feminist live-action Snow White remake plunged a catastrophic 66 percent in its second round to an abysmal $14 million. In two weeks, the $250-million-plus production (add at least $200 million more for advertising and marketing) has grossed a laughable — except to Disney executives — $67 million.
Jamie Sarkonak: Recovery from the lost decade means ditching the Impact Assessment Act
It’s hard to get major projects built in a country that requires evaluations of systemic racism, local psychosocial conditions and confidential Indigenous spiritual knowledge to be considered at length before any approval is issued. But that’s the current scheme for building big projects that fall under federal jurisdiction and are thus subject to the Impact Assessment Act — and that’s exactly why any plan for turning around the country’s lost decade requires its repeal.
Do Not Be Fooled by the ‘Anti-Hamas’ Protests
The recent anti-Hamas protests in the Gaza Strip are seen by some Western and Arab political analysts as a positive and encouraging development.
Those who are rushing to celebrate the protests in Gaza need to consider that they are most likely nothing but a show by the Iran-backed Hamas to fool the world into thinking that there is an uprising against the terrorist group.
Eric Lombardi: Canadians are ready to build—what about our leaders?
Donald Trump’s latest round of threats—a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods and repeated jabs that Canada “only works” as America’s 51st state—landed like grenades here at home. But they also revealed an uncomfortable truth: it’s hard for Canada to project strength internationally when we haven’t built the foundations of a strong, modern country domestically. We need homes our children can afford, infrastructure that connects a vast nation, a resource sector that gets to “yes”—and yes, a military capable of defending our sovereignty.
After Devastating DOGE Hearing, Pathetic PBS Claims the RIGHT Has ‘Narrative Dominance’
If PBS felt any concern about the hit its reputation for balance took at Wednesday’s devastating DOGE hearing on Capitol Hill, Thursday’s PBS News Hour didn’t show it.
On the day after its CEO Paula Kerger testified to Congress that they were fair and balanced, PBS turned to the leftist group Media Matters for America. The News Hour has never invited the Media Research Center for an interview about the state of the media since the MRC was founded in 1987.
U.S. companies say Canadian retailers are turning away products
The “Buy Canadian” movement is sending new ripples of concern through the executive offices of U.S.-based consumer companies that banked on selling their products on Canadian retail shelves.
California-based diaper maker Parasol Co had been working since January with a distributor to expand the sale of its diapers and baby wipes to new retailers in Canada, including convenience stores, CEO Jessica Hung said.
NYT Panics Over Religious Freedoms, ‘Particularly Christian’ Groups
If there’s anything more frightening than a Supreme Court “which has been receptive to claims from religious groups, particularly Christian ones,” the New York Times has yet to find it.
Canada braces for impact as Donald Trump readies fresh tariffs
Even for a presidency that has waged pitched trade battles from its earliest hours, the next few days promise to be like no other.
It is tariff week in the United States, a pivotal moment in Donald Trump’s ambition to bend global trade to American advantage. On April 2, Mr. Trump’s vaunted “Liberation Day,” the White House plans to release a raft of what it terms reciprocal tariffs.
The Fyre Festival organiser is out of jail. Now he wants a shark-infested sequel
“What some of you don’t know is that I spent 10 months in solitary confinement. Whenever anybody finds this out the first thing they always ask is how I spent that time. The truth is, the best part of those days was running in place in my prison-issue underwear staring at the wall in front of me.”
This might sound like a curious opening gambit at a press conference about a music festival. But Billy McFarland is no ordinary festival organiser. McFarland is the convicted felon and entrepreneur behind 2017’s Fyre Festival, the most disastrous non-festival of all time, an event so calamitous that it has become the morality tale of the Instagram age.
Race tightening between Mark Carney’s Liberals and Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, polls suggest
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are starting to cut into Mark Carney’s Liberals’ lead, polls suggest.
The Star’s election predictor, the Signal, says the Liberals’ advantage has narrowed but the governing party could still win a majority in the April 28 federal election.
“You continue to see that volatility here, where the ebb and flow of the Liberal vote really varies more than the Conservative trend line,” said Clifton van der Linden, a McMaster University political science professor and the CEO of Vox Pop Labs, the independent research organization that developed the Signal.
Majority of UK Muslims Identify as Muslims First over Being British
The vast majority of British Muslims identify with their religion over their nationality, a report has found.
A study conducted by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), based on survey data and interviews with 815 British Muslims, has found that over seven in ten (71 per cent) identify as Muslims first.
In contrast, just 27 per cent of British Muslims said they primarily identified as British, English, or Scottish.
CHARLEBOIS: Dairy’s best-kept secret? Trade agreements are a payday
Over the past few weeks, the Dairy Farmers of Canada, with the full backing of the Bloc Quebecois, has launched a well-coordinated charm offensive to extol the virtues of supply management. According to its proponents, this system is the best tool to safeguard Canada’s food sovereignty.
Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre’s disturbing Instagram post claims ‘they’ve given me four days to live’
Virginia Giuffre – who was sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and claims she was sexually assaulted as a teenager by Prince Andrew – says she has been given just four days to live after a car crash.
Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, 41, shared a photograph of herself from her hospital bed, covered in bruises she had said she suffered in a smash with a speeding bus.
Posting to Instagram overnight on Sunday, the sex abuse survivor says she has suffered kidney failure and begged to see her children ‘one last time’ before she dies.
