Justin Trudeau and Han Job Dong

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday denied a media report from last week saying his office had been warned by Canada’s spy agency to drop a Liberal candidate, who is now a member of parliament, because he had Beijing’s support.

The Chinese government preferred Han Dong, a Chinese-Canadian, over another Chinese Canadian Liberal, who was passed over in favour of Han, said Global News, citing anonymous security sources in a story posted online.

Woody Harrelson trolls the authoritarian left on SNL

Scandalized critics are branding him an ‘anti-vaxxer’

In 2022’s Triangle of Sadness, the first English language film from Force Majeure director Ruben Östlund, Woody Harrelson plays an addled Marxist captain of the Cristina O — in real life, the former yacht of the Onassis family, in the movie a doomed cruise vessel for the ludicrously rich. Harrelson is a jaded observer and capitalist critic who despises his passengers, choosing to order a cheeseburger and fries when others dine on oysters and caviar. He reads passages from Noam Chomsky into the microphone as the wealthy devolve into a roiling pile of puke and shit: “There are very few that are gonna look in the mirror and say, ‘the person I see is a savage monster.’ Instead, they make up some construction that justifies what they do.”

School suspends sex education after drag queen ‘told 11-year-olds there are 73 genders’

Isle of Man suspends sex education after performer leave youngsters ‘traumatised’ with ‘age-inappropriate material’

Sex education has been suspended in Isle of Man schools after a drag queen allegedly told 11-year-olds that there are 73 genders.

The Isle of Man government has launched an independent review of its personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum after parents raised the alarm about the “graphic, disproportionate, indecent presentation” of sexual acts and different gender identities understood to have been taught in lessons.

Anyone found to have been pimping children to these sex deviants should be shot, after a fair trial of course.

FBI arrests so-called sedition panda in 6 January Capitol riot case

The FBI has arrested a man alleged to have taken part in the 6 January 2021 Capitol riot while wearing an unlikely mask: an enormous panda head.

Jesse James Rumson – dubbed the “sedition panda” by some – was arrested in Florida.

He now faces a series of charges, including assaulting or resisting a police officer and engaging in physical violence on restricted property.

Nearly 1,000 people have been arrested since the riot.

Realism on China

It was impossible to miss — a giant white balloon with a massive solar array and a yet-to-be-publicly-disclosed sensor package flying over some of America’s most sensitive military sites. In the time since China’s spy balloon traversed Alaska, Canada and the continental United States, details surrounding the surveillance overflight are murky at best as the Biden Administration has provided confused, conflicted and muddled statements to Americans and even Congress.

What is clear is that, intentionally or not, China has shown America’s need to get serious about the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its expansionist global aims.

Florida Gov. DeSantis signs bill placing Disney district under state control

Disney officially has a “new sheriff in town” after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday that placed the Mouse House’s special tax district under state control.

The Republican-backed bill rebrands Disney’s self-governed Reedy Creek Improvement District as the “Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.”

DeSantis gained the authority to appoint the members of a five-person oversight board for the special district — a power that Disney formerly held.

International aid agencies ask for more money in letter to Freeland ahead of budget

OTTAWA – Dozens of Canada’s international aid agencies are asking Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to increase the country’s foreign assistance contributions.

The request comes in a letter signed by 75 non-governmental organizations, including the Canadian chapters of groups such as Oxfam, Save the Children, Unicef and World Vision.

They’re asking Freeland to increase international aid funding from the $8.15 billion pledged in the last budget and to gradually ramp that figure up to $10 billion by 2025.

We gain nothing. International aid is just a job scheme for the virtue signaling class and often a slush fund for corrupt regimes like Trudeau’s.

Jamie Sarkonak: The counterproductive ‘decolonizing’ of the national anthem

National identity depends on having a shared set of values, often represented in our cultural products. These cultural products include the obvious: our songs, our statues and our broadcast media — and the less obvious: the way we name roads, bridges and city wards. The great thing about Canadian national identity is that it’s (traditionally) based on the liberal democratic tradition, where all citizens are equal before the law regardless of background.

I’m sick of these racists.

Disinformation Inc: Government-backed group tried to punish sites boosting COVID lab leak theory

A State Department-backed “disinformation” tracking group blacklisting conservative news outlets pressured advertising companies to punish websites boosting the COVID-19 “lab leak” theory, which a federal agency now says is the most likely origin of the virus.

The Global Disinformation Index, a British group with two affiliated U.S. nonprofit organizations, has continued to come under fire for feeding conservative news blacklists to advertising companies. This same government-funded entity repeatedly applied pressure on companies to cut ties with websites promoting the once alleged right-wing “conspiracy” that COVID-19 emerged from a lab — which the Energy Department recently concluded is probable based on intelligence.

Eviction applications spike in Ontario as rents soar, vacancies dwindle

As Ontario faces a chronic shortage of housing and rapidly climbing rents, landlords in the province are increasingly trying to evict their tenants and take possession of those rental units.

In 2022, the Landlord and Tenant Board, which adjudicates rental-housing disputes in the province, received more than 5,550 eviction applications in which landlords sought units for themselves, family members or new buyers. That was an increase of 41 per cent from 2019, according to numbers provided by the province to The Globe and Mail.
