JIVANI: Jagmeet Singh’s legacy as Trudeau’s hype man

Singh knows his role isn’t to rock the boat, even if some of his voters want him to.

I never wanted Jagmeet Singh to lead our country. But I did want him to be a competent leader for the NDP.

Unfortunately, after choosing to support Trudeau’s internet censorship agenda, Singh’s legacy will be that of a total failure.

Eighteen killed as hundreds try to cross into Spain’s Melilla enclave

Eighteen people have died after a mass attempt to cross from Morocco into Spain’s enclave of Melilla.

Moroccan officials said late on Friday that 13 people had died of injuries sustained in the incursion, in addition to five who were confirmed dead earlier in the day.

How much influence should politicians have over police?

Controversy erupted this week when allegations came to light that the Liberal government may have tried to interfere in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting where 17 people were killed.

According to RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell’s notes, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said in a phone call that she had promised the Prime Minister’s Office and then-Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair that the RCMP would publicly release information about the weapons the gunman used. Lucki was reportedly angry when the RCMP did not do so.

The Liberal government is alleged to have wanted the information made public to further their gun control agenda. Critics and opposition politicians have accused the government of attempting to use the tragedy for political gain. Lucki, Blair and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have denied that there was interference in the investigation.

Just the CBC running cover. Everyone knows Trudeau lied, it’s what he does.

Police investigate Ontario town council meeting where speech against LGBTQ2+ community was made

Ontario Provincial Police are looking into the Tuesday council meeting in tiny Norwich, Ont., where a man facing criminal charges for taking down Pride flags spoke for half an hour about his opposition to the LGBTQ2+ community, particularly transgender people.

“I can tell you that we are aware of the council meeting and information is being reviewed at this time,” said Oxford OPP Const. Patti Cote.

Norwich Township council has released a statement saying it had asked for legal advice before allowing businessman Jacob (Jake) Dey to address the Tuesday meeting, leaving many “hurt and unsafe” by “what many consider hateful comments.”

Two people were killed and 21 injured in three consecutive shootings in Norway’s capital, Oslo, including in a gay bar. All Pride events have now been cancelled.

Authorities in Oslo said a 42-year-old Norwegian national of Iranian origin, who was previously known to police, had been arrested within minutes of the shootings and was believed to be the sole perpetrator.

The state prosecutor, Christian Hatlo, told a news conference on Saturday that 10 people had been seriously injured in the shootings and 11 more were slightly wounded. Two weapons, a pistol and an automatic rifle, had been seized, he said.

Drag Queens and the Incoherence of Moral Relativism

Trudeau aroused by Drag Queens

It is a sign of our times that movements have emerged to teach pedophilia in schools and to subject children to drag queen performances. Perversions like this are borne of an insidious attitude known as moral relativism.

As the term suggests, moral relativism is the belief that morality is subjective rather than objective. That is, what is right and wrong varies from person to person instead of emerging from a fixed universal standard, meaning that there are no ultimate moral truths. Before examining why such a view is incoherent, it is worth considering why ordinary people have been seduced into believing it. There are two major reasons. The first is that, because there is widespread disagreement about matters of right and wrong, morality is assumed to be subjective. The second stems from a pervasive attitude that it is “intolerant” to uphold a fixed standard of morality. Both reasons are flimsy.

Social Justice Warriors and Their Greatest Victims

Rittenhouse trial protest. A pedophile, a rapist and a grandmother batterer are “Supermen” to the Liberal-Left.

Why the Left is the worst enemy of every demographic it claims to support.

The delusional sociopaths who identify as progressives are, as usual, just the opposite of what they claim. Everything they are forcing on society today – without our consent, like rapists – has been done before. If they were honest, they would identify as primitive, regressive extremists – even terrorists, for so many people live in abject terror of raising a peep of objection, and for good reason.

Our Russia strategy has backfired … Biden is more likely to be toppled

Whatever the origins of the Ukraine war, the West and Russia are now engaged in a broader confrontation that is not confined to the military struggle: the war has become a competition in pain-tolerance.

This is, as Thomas Schelling wrote, “a conscious process of dirty bargaining”, whereby each side tries to inflict pain and suffering on the other side until one or both yield. Put simply, the West and Russia are playing a violent version of the schoolyard game Mercy. The centrepiece of the West’s effort to inflict pain on Russia is what the historian Nicholas Mulder has called “the economic weapon”, which has been deployed at unprecedented scale. The centrepiece of Russia’s effort to inflict pain on the West is the commodities weapon. In this competition in pain-tolerance, it is not immediate whether the West or Russia has the upper hand.

How PC fuelled the grooming-gangs scandal

The authorities were so terrified of being called racist they let serial abusers off the hook.

A new review into allegations of historic child sexual exploitation in Oldham, Greater Manchester has provided yet another grim entry in the never-ending grooming-gangs scandal.

It’s all so outrageously familiar. Vulnerable young girls were drugged and sexually abused by gangs of largely Asian – or, more accurately, Pakistani Muslim – men. And the gangs did so with seeming impunity, as police and the local authorities effectively looked the other way.

Why the west risks condemning Ukraine to slow strangulation

Speaking at a private dinner in London recently, a senior serving British military officer argued that the west had no choice but to see Ukraine as just one phase in a decade-long battle with Russia. “If Ukraine wins, Russia will never accept that. If Russia wins, it will go further,” he said.

Yet in Whitehall they fear the “F word” – fatigue – and worry that the west with its TikTok-attention span and bias towards instant gratification does not have the resolve for the years-long sacrifice required to defeat Russia, or even stem the military tide in the villages of eastern Ukraine.

That anxiety is shared by Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president, who in a speech to marketing professionals in Cannes this week pleaded with them to use their creative ingenuity to keep the world focused on his country’s struggle: “Don’t let the world switch to something else,” he said.

The leak, the threats, the violence — reaction to Roe is dark day for nation

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson is a victory for the rule of law.

I’m not talking so much about the opinion itself. I’m talking about the Supreme Court majority’s demonstration that it will do what it thinks is right despite unprecedented pressure from the media, from Democrats in Congress, from “activist” groups and even from angry mobs and attempted assassins who show up at their homes.

JK Rowling has backed a young British man in a freedom of speech row after Twitter deleted his account of how he was ‘castrated’ during gender reassignment surgery that has prompted him to sue the NHS over the operation in a historic legal action.

The man has claimed that doctors did not warn him of the drastic outcome of the body-altering surgery which has left him infertile, incontinent, with no sensation in his crotch and feeling like a ‘sexual eunuch’.

He said on Twitter: ‘The minute I woke up from surgery, I knew I had made the biggest mistake of my life.’
