VUONG: TDSB tolerates assault, but has zero tolerance for self-defence

As a father, here is the sentence that keeps me up at night: If your seven-year-old is beaten at school and dares to defend themselves, the full weight of the system falls on them — while the child beating them is met, every time, with patience and endless second chances.


Years ago the TDSB disbanded a Zero-Tolerance for violence policy.

It was very successful, so successful the usual suspects labeled it racist.

Antifa leaders panic after DOJ pursues conspiracy charges against Minnesota operatives

The federal indictment of 15 alleged antifa cell members in Minnesota on conspiracy charges last week is sending antifa’s leaders into a panic, scrambling over the case’s legal implications for the underground movement.

In response to last week’s raids on the residences of the defendants, allied antifa accounts across social media started circulating an alert warning others, “One of our comrades was arrested and all of their electronics were confiscated. Please alert all of your groups. Stay safe.”

Islamic call to prayer faces ban under Left-wing Danish government – Immigration minister says parts of country “feel like Islamabad”

Denmark’s immigration minister has announced plans to ban the Islamic call to prayer, claiming parts of the country felt like “a suburb of Islamabad”.

Morten Bødskov, a member of the centre-Left Social Democrats party, said the new government would resume an investigation into the legality of imposing a ban.

“The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops,” the minister told Danish news outlet Ritzau. “It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn’t be in any doubt whether you’ve ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark.”

The Democratic primaries in New York City just delivered a stark verdict: the traditional Democratic Party, rooted in pragmatic governance, neighborhood loyalty, and a shared commitment to American institutions, is over. The victories of Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates instead mark the ascendance of the far left.

Starmer’s resignation is a cautionary tale for Carney and Poilievre

Starmer’s resignation is a cautionary tale for Carney and Poilievre

To be a successful leader in politics, you need a few things: a vision for the country, a plan to realize it and an ability to articulate why you are the right person to lead the journey.

British prime minister Keir Starmer possesses none of these things. That’s why he’s been forced to resign his post. It’s expected he’ll be replaced by soon-to-be-former mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham, who possesses only one of them.


I think the greater risk is to Carney.

He will implode as the public becomes aware of his grifting ways, ugly personality and economy wrecking schemes.

Congress passes war powers measure for first time, breaking with Trump over Iran

Congress passes war powers measure for first time, breaking with Trump over Iran

The Republican-controlled US Senate has approved a measure demanding that President Donald Trump halt the war in Iran or seek congressional approval before continuing military action.

But the resolution is largely symbolic because, even after passing both chambers of Congress, it will not be sent to Trump for his consideration and does not carry the force of the law.

A handful of Republicans joined Democrats in Tuesday’s 50-48 vote. The same measure was passed by the US House of Representatives earlier this month.

Is this the beginning of the end of the Doug Ford era in Ontario?

Is this the beginning of the end of the Doug Ford era in Ontario?

Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty was just one seat shy of securing a third majority mandate when he led his party to win the 2011 Ontario election. It wasn’t a great result – the Liberals won 18 fewer seats than they had the previous election – but it was still a win, and Mr. McGuinty’s approval rating was a respectable (for a third-time premier) 38 per cent by the end of the year.

But almost exactly one year later, Mr. McGuinty called an emergency caucus meeting to announce his resignation as Liberal leader and the prorogation of the legislature. “After nine years as premier, it’s time for renewal, it’s time for the next Liberal premier,” Mr. McGuinty said.

Nato prepares for the Battle of the Baltics

Nato prepares for the Battle of the Baltics

As sunbeams pierce the storm clouds over Latvia’s coastline, the US navy Seabees are building the boat ramps that may one day be needed to counter a Russian invasion.

“Run the tape, fellahs,” cries out Capt Allen Willey, the Seabees’ commanding officer, as his seamen measure up a wire grid inside the ramp. “It’s like a game of hopscotch.”

The veteran of four decades takes a closer look at the precise 11-degree incline of the ramp, used for offloading troops, vessels and military vehicles. His sailors brace for his verdict. Then his hard features break into a boyish smile. “Love it.”
