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.

‘Like a drill going into my eye’: why the mystery over Havana syndrome refuses to die

‘Like a drill going into my eye’: why the mystery over Havana syndrome refuses to die

hortly after 1am one night in April 2019, a CIA officer on a work trip to London was jolted awake in his hotel room by the most intense head pain he had ever experienced. His body was soaked with sweat and he felt like his eyes were spinning in their sockets. He manoeuvred his way out of bed, hoping to make it to the bathroom to vomit, but found his sense of balance had deserted him. Eventually, he fell back into a fitful, shallow sleep.

The next day, arriving at the work meeting he had travelled for, the officer found he could not remember the names of colleagues in the room, people he knew well. As the meeting got under way, he could barely follow the discussion. Initially, he chalked it up to a terrible – if rather odd – case of food poisoning. But over subsequent weeks, worrying symptoms persisted: brain fog, loss of balance and increasingly harsh tinnitus.

MORGAN: Carney must tell indigenous chiefs where to go

MORGAN: Carney must tell indigenous chiefs where to go

It took a week before an indigenous band came out in opposition to Mark Carney’s designation of the Pacific Link pipeline as a project in the national interest. That’s about six days longer than I thought it would take. There will surely be others getting in line to try and halt the projects soon. The court challenges are very lucrative for activists and the parasitic law firms that serve them.


Ranked No. 2 right after Remigration.

Trump and Putin: More Than Just Diesel

Trump and Putin: More Than Just Diesel

n October 9 in the afternoon, President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he had struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, arranging deliveries of diesel fuel to the United States and world markets.

Trump said that Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by an additional 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons “immediately thereafter.” Russia will deliver an additional 3 million tons “within a short period of time after that,” Trump said.

Chris Selley: Olivia Chow’s goose is begging to be roasted

If there were a super-compelling candidate on the Oct. 26 mayoral ballot in Toronto, anywhere from the centre-left to what passes for the centre-right in municipal politics, Olivia Chow’s goose might well be cooked. Crispy skin, all the trimmings and a bottle of off-dry Riesling for the table.


He underestimates the stupid of Toronto.

Why aren’t all executions public?

Why aren’t all executions public?

There is a boring, snooty, self-righteous school of thought that the judicial killing of a human being is a grave and dignified sacrament of the state. It says that where the law provides for the government to take a life, that is about as serious a decision as, in peacetime, it gets. This school of thought has it that the preceding judicial process must be exhaustive; that the condemned, no matter how repulsive their crimes, should be treated with respect by virtue of their status as human beings; that the whole punitive apparatus must see the process through with the sort of impersonal solemnity appropriate to its momentous arrogation of the right to take a life. Black caps, drawn curtains, ceremonious and exact procedures, shuffling clergymen…all that stuffy malarkey.


A good anti-public execution piece but I think Hasan’s case merits an exception.

A family with a legacy of policing, now swept up in the Toronto cop corruption scandal

Three generations of men, each named John Madeley, assembled as the youngest took the final step to join the family legacy.

It was 2022, and Madeley Jr. was being sworn-in as an officer with the Toronto Police Service, like his father and his father before him.

“It’s the proudest day of my life,” John Sr. beamed to a news camera, his son to his left, his father sitting to his right in a wheelchair.

Hollywood’s Liberal Movies Are Flopping, but the Message Isn’t Getting Through

Hollywood’s Liberal Movies Are Flopping, but the Message Isn’t Getting Through

I often cite the famous quote from my late mentor Andrew Breitbart that politics is downstream from culture, because it has proven so true. But not this year. In three weeks, politics can help save the culture from more leftist rot. A vote to repel the Marxist Democrats at the ballot box November 3rd is a vote to dispel the utter garbage their acolyte storytellers have been passing as art, and shut them up for a while in the bargain. Dropping liberal movie bomb after bomb on the public clearly hasn’t stopped them or slowed them down. Now we can do the latter.

The Trump-Netanyahu Partnership: The Middle East Gains That Must Not Be Squandered

The Trump-Netanyahu Partnership: The Middle East Gains That Must Not Be Squandered

Over the past year and a half, the Middle East has undergone dramatic changes. Israel, increasingly encircled for decades by an Iranian “noose of fire” on seven fronts, inflicted severe damage on its enemies’ military capabilities; the United States finally demonstrated its willingness to use military force against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and a US-backed agreement brought home all the Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.

President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played central roles in these developments. Their partnership combined America’s diplomatic leverage and military power with Israel’s intelligence capabilities and military operations.

Canadian housing policy wants you to live in shoebox condos in the middle of nowhere

Canadian housing policy wants you to live in shoebox condos in the middle of nowhere

Jane Jacobs was wrong. So suggests the drift in government housing policy toward community-killing high-rises. The urbanist who fought for low-rise living in townhouses and apartment blocks didn’t believe livable communities existed high in the sky. Today’s decision-makers beg to differ.

Passé are eyes on the street, as is economically mixed and human-scaled density, defined by street-centric neighbourhoods where residents easily walk to local shops, entertainment, transit and civic spaces.

Is it a plane or a tree? Amelia Earhart expedition aims to solve mystery of disappearance

Is it a plane or a tree? Amelia Earhart expedition aims to solve mystery of disappearance

A team of US researchers is approaching a remote Pacific atoll where they suspect the famed aviator Amelia Earhart crash-landed in 1937, in the latest attempt to crack one of the biggest mysteries of the 20th century.

The 17-person expedition was inspired by satellite images taken over several years showing a submerged object in the uninhabited island’s sandy lagoon – evidence dismissed by other longtime Earhart sleuths who say it is probably a fallen tree.
