Soboroff Hypes LGBTQ Celebs Calling Flag ‘A Violent Symbol Of Prejeduice’

MS NOW’s Connect host Jacob Soboroff rewound the clock on Saturday to promote a short documentary called Reclaim the Flag that was released a year ago that featured several LGBTQ celebrities—some of whom were definitely more famous than others—talking about their views of the flag. Soboroff sat down with producer Alexis Bittar to discuss the film and play several soundbites that included claims to the flag as having “blood on it” and being a “violent symbol of prejudice and hate” and beliefs that people who fly the flag would kill them if they had the opportunity.

Pretty in Pinko: The Brat Pack And the Anti-Communist Film Festival

Pretty in Pinko: The Brat Pack And the Anti-Communist Film Festival

I’m officially inviting the Brat Pack to the Anti-Communist Film Festival. The Brat Pack were a group of actors who were young in the 1980s and the subject of a famous magazine profile by David Blum. Rob Lowe, Sean Penn, Emilio Estevez, and Andrew McCarthy, as well as female stars like Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore and Ali Sheedy, were the hot young actors in Hollywood in the Reagan Era.

Brad Bradford has already raised $1.8 million for his Toronto mayoral campaign. Here’s what that might mean for his chances of beating Olivia Chow

Brad Bradford has already raised $1.8 million for his Toronto mayoral campaign. Here’s what that might mean for his chances of beating Olivia Chow

Brad Bradford says he’s raised $1.8 million for his Toronto mayoral campaign, a display of financial firepower that would further solidify his evolution from an also-ran three years ago into a serious challenger for the city’s top job.

Bradford’s team announced the fundraising haul this week, on the same day the councillor for Beaches-East York held his first campaign rally at an Etobicoke community centre.


Drunk Chow will still benefit as the incumbent of city that votes stupid left.

Nolte: Uwe Boll Says ‘Citizen Vigilante’ Is a ‘Revolt‘ Against Studios Like Netflix Depicting All Migrants as Perfect

Nolte: Uwe Boll Says ‘Citizen Vigilante’ Is a ‘Revolt‘ Against Studios Like Netflix Depicting All Migrants as Perfect

Citizen Vigilante director Uwe Boll defended his movie primarily as a response to the ongoing cover-up, both by politicians and the entertainment industry, about the very real horrors inflicted on society by migrant criminals.

“If you watch any German movie, all the migrants are perfectly integrated, intelligent, perfectly German-speaking people, and that’s just wrong,” he said. “That’s not the case.”

Carney talks about Canada’s ‘energy sovereignty.’ But what does that really mean?

Carney talks about Canada’s ‘energy sovereignty.’ But what does that really mean?

Soon after Donald Trump took office for a second time, with punishing tariffs and menacing talk of Canada as “the 51st state,” this country’s leaders began to invoke the idea of “energy sovereignty.”

It was a response to the fact that the biggest consumer of Canadian oil — the U.S. — was becoming increasingly hostile and erratic, an economic quandary that could only be managed by seeking new customers.


Carney? He still believes we should all be driving electric cars.

EU defense remains heavily reliant on the United States

EU defense remains heavily reliant on the United States

EU militaries continue to rely heavily on US weaponry. This was again evident at July’s NATO summit in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, which also included the high-level Defense Industry Forum, at which US companies were able to secure lucrative contracts.

It was also decided that European governments would play a bigger role in producing and maintaining the missiles that are so crucial to the continent’s defense. Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly produce ATACMS missiles in Germany. This is one step towards increasing stockpiles without upsetting the United States, but in the long term Europe is aiming for greater independence.

MACLEOD: Lich, Barber, and the dangerous criminalization of protest

MACLEOD: Lich, Barber, and the dangerous criminalization of protest

Canada’s justice system has now sent its message, and it is not subtle.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were not murderers, arsonists, violent revolutionaries, or even criminals. They were two Canadians who helped lead a peaceful protest against government mandates during one of the most heavy-handed periods in modern Canadian history. For that, the Crown vigorously pursued them for years, seeking prison terms of seven years for Lich and eight years for Barber.

Nothing to suggest Widdecombe killing was politically motivated, police say

Nothing to suggest Widdecombe killing was politically motivated, police say

Police investigating the alleged murder of Ann Widdecombe say there is “nothing to suggest it was politically motivated”.

Devon and Cornwall Police added they are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death, following the arrest of a 28-year-old white British man in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on Saturday.

The former MP and MEP, 78, was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, on Thursday, having sustained serious injuries. Police believe she had been attacked almost 24 hours earlier.


Police in the UK are so politicized and their record of honesty so suspect that no one should trust this finding.

The U.S.-Canada relationship looks very different depending on which side you stand

The U.S.-Canada relationship looks very different depending on which side you stand

In 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy famously said, about the U.S.-Canada relationship, that: “Geography has made us neighbours. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies.”

Fast-forward 65 years, and Canada and the United States are still neighbours, partners and allies. It just doesn’t feel like they are good friends right now. In some ways, the relationship feels less like a friendship than a very long marriage under strain. One partner is angry, the other partner distracted. Both are still deeply tied together by shared interests and a future that cannot easily be separated.

Two dead, four injured in shooting near Salsa on St. Clair festival in Toronto

A burst of gunfire near the Salsa on St. Clair street festival Saturday night killed two men, seriously wounded four others and sent thousands of festivalgoers fleeing in panic through the streets in Toronto’s west end.

Toronto police were called to reports of a shooting near St. Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue, just west of the festival grounds, shortly after 8:10 p.m. A total of six people were found with gunshot wounds, including two men who died — one at the scene, the other in hospital — according to Toronto police.

When the shooting started …

Nothing new under the Sun yet, neither of the two suspected perp’s identified.
