Is Olivia Chow ‘out of ideas’? Why her campaign isn’t pitching anything new — and Brad Bradford’s is

The press invitation from Olivia Chow’s team Wednesday night promised their candidate would make a “signature campaign announcement” the following morning.

It was the first indication all election long that the incumbent might be set to present voters with something new. For months, Chow had mostly stuck to reiterating policies she’d drafted while in office.

RAF terror plot ‘highly likely’ to be work of IRGC, UK Says

The suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford was “almost certainly” the work of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Andy Burnham has said.

The Prime Minister told the House of Commons that it was “highly likely” that the IRGC had been behind the incident last month.

Counter-terrorism police are investigating Iran’s involvement in the alleged plot, after three suspicious vans were found near the military site in the early hours of Sept 27.

Champagne won’t promise Alto high-speed rail will stay under $90 billion

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne declined to guarantee taxpayers that Ottawa’s proposed Alto high-speed rail project will stay within its $90-billion price tag as MPs questioned escalating costs and millions paid in employee bonuses.

Is France about to default?

Is France about to default?

Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay!, the translated title of Dario Fo’s 1974 play, is one of the great works of Italian postwar literature. Exploring the struggles between moderates and hardliners in the country’s Communist Party, Fo drags his audience into the heady, violent atmosphere of the Years of Lead. In Italy, of course, that world is dead and buried, yet Fo’s story could just as well apply to the modern French Left. It, too, is riven by factionalism — even if, unlike Italy in the Seventies, France’s radicals now seem to be winning.

Cate Blanchett’s luxury beliefs on illegal migration

Cate Blanchett’s luxury beliefs on illegal migration

There are likely very few things you care less about than Cate Blanchett’s views on refugees and immigration. But the Oscar-winning actress and ‘goodwill ambassador’ for the UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, is going to tell you anyway. That’s just what famous people do. She wants you to know that the ‘toxic narrative’ about refugees and asylum seekers that you have been ‘spoon-fed’ by the media is wrong. And she wants to use the power of art to open the cold hearts and narrow minds of the British public.

Nobody Goes To War For The Rules-Based Order

Nobody Goes To War For The Rules-Based Order

Are all cultures equally worthy of our respect? Globalists say, “yes.”

Are all religions equally worthy of our respect? Globalists say, “yes.”

Are all nations equally worthy of our respect? Globalists say, “yes.”

Globalists speak of “multiculturalism” as if it were a virtue and equate Western civilization with “white supremacy,” “patriarchy,” and “imperialism.” They believe Christians should celebrate Islamic holidays. They believe national borders are “racist.” They believe that anybody who rejects globalism promotes “hate.”

Europe’s Suicide Pact

Europe’s Suicide Pact

In the last few days, the titles of YouTube videos about Europe have tended toward the exceedingly agitated: “They’re Destroying France” (October 6);  “France Has Collapsed” (Rubin Report, October 8); “We’re Watching France’s End” (October 9); “France Is on Fire” (Triggernometry, October 9); “The Siege of London” (Bill O’Reilly, October 8); “Germany’s Crisis: Why Living Here Is Impossible Now” (October 3).

What a fascinating moment it is in Western European history. Not a happy moment, not a promising moment, but certainly fascinating. Not so very long ago, Germany, France, and Britain were world powers; now all three of them are basket cases, undergoing parallel crises, at the mercy of immigrants from the worst places on the planet. And the mainstream media, in these countries as well as in the U.S., are doing their best to avoid covering these crises, leaving it to YouTubers and other online news reporters and commentators to fill in the gap.

Cornell and Feminism’s New Normal

Cornell and Feminism’s New Normal

“Many men rape; many men giggle encouragingly, or shrug indifferently, when their friends rape. Many men rape, and few seem to think that it’s a very big deal. If anything, cases like the alleged incident at Chi Phi – and many others – show that rape can be a bonding activity for men, a way they celebrate their shared status as men.”

—Moira Donegan, “The horror of the Cornell rape case is how ordinary it is”

RUBENSTEIN: The Kamloops burial deception — time to exhume the truth

According to BC online newsletter Castanet, Chief Rosanne Casimir, leader of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc, legally known as the Kamloops Band, says grave exhumation is part of an effort to determine what lies beneath the grounds of the reserve’s former boarding school.

The band made international headlines on May 27, 2021, when Casimir announced that ground-penetrating radar had detected what it initially described as the remains of 215 children near the long-shuttered Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Kate Marland: Tearing down B.C. Human Rights Tribunal should be only the start

We are now well into the swing of David Eby’s faux-pas snap election. The candidates have been confirmed, battle lines have been drawn, and scores of scurrying volunteers are zipping door to door, eager to convince British Columbians that either the time is now for change, or the time is now to maintain the brilliant status quo.


The BC HRC is run by lunatics.
