Legal experts weigh in on what’s next for Alberta’s proposed separation referendum

An Alberta court decision this week derailed a proposed referendum question on the province’s separation from Canada. The ruling focused on the issue of Indigenous consultation. Legal experts say the long-term impact of the ruling is unclear, with a planned appeal to the higher courts, and other open questions about previous Supreme Court of Canada decisions on secession and Indigenous consultation.

Watching Porn on California’s Death Row

Under Governor Gavin Newsom, California has sought to transform its massive prison system into a Nordic-style rehabilitation program.

CBC called out for role in prank interviews of Kamloops residential school grave critics

CBC called out for role in prank interviews of Kamloops residential school grave critics

Two women say they were targeted by a CBC- and APTN-produced comedy series that conducted prank interviews with people who have expressed controversial opinions about Canada’s residential schools.

Frances Widdowson and Lindsay Shepherd, two public figures who have been critical of the coverage of possible unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site in B.C., shared social media posts this week detailing how they say they were tricked into prank interviews.


It was only a prank says the CBC which has forgiven itself.

In truth it was a government attempt to smear people for having the “wrong views”.

Japan, Germany and Zombie Firms: The Quiet Suicide of Socialized Corporations

Japan, Germany and Zombie Firms: The Quiet Suicide of Socialized Corporations

Japan, in the 1980s, was supposed to be the future. Its industrial groups, protected by dense networks of banks, suppliers and friendly shareholders, were praised as more patient, more loyal and more strategic than America’s purportedly short-term capitalism. Germany, meanwhile, was sold as the humane alternative to Anglo-Saxon brutality: strong unions, worker participation, industrial discipline, export prowess and a “social market economy” that allegedly reconciled capitalism with solidarity.

JAY GOLDBERG: Bureaucracy is putting Canadians’ lives on the line

JAY GOLDBERG: Bureaucracy is putting Canadians’ lives on the line

Imagine finding out that your loved one has leukemia. Then imagine finding out that the cost of treating that cancer is so enormous that you could end up drowning in debt just to pay the medical bills.

Many readers might think this is a scenario only to be found in the United States. But this is a scenario currently facing Chris Sluman and his family in North Bay, and it is all because of an obscure government agency that no one really knows about.

As a professor, I’m pressured to give out high grades like candy — and not just by students

As a professor, I’m pressured to give out high grades like candy — and not just by students

Grade inflation is real, and it’s coming for your children.

The good news is your children will have beautiful transcripts. The bad news is those transcripts will have about as much value as a participation trophy. The worse news is this can be true even at the university level. And the worst news: inflated grades are effectively mandated from the top. To fix the problem, you’d have to alter the mindsets of institutional bureaucrats — that is, move immovable objects.


I recall an instructor discussing this very thing in class before he bit his own tongue.

University of Toronto revokes Buffy Sainte-Marie’s honorary degree

The University of Toronto has rescinded Buffy Sainte-Marie’s honorary degree, following a petition to revoke the honour.

The musician was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the university in 2019. At the time, a U of T publication said Sainte-Marie was being recognized for her work in music and the arts and for her advocacy work for “the rights and dignity of all people.”

The Italian community has so far maintained a silent stoic response.

425 Groups With CCP Ties Are Getting $1B Annually to Organize Against Israel and the U.S.

425 Groups With CCP Ties Are Getting $1B Annually to Organize Against Israel and the U.S.

Over 400 organizations that explicitly want to wipe Israel off the map and wreck the USA are organizing protests globally this week, and some of them have ties to the murderous Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to a new Fox News report.

Unfortunately, the United States is the biggest hotspot of the Marxist revolutionaries protesting in favor of destroying the world’s only Jewish state to transform it into another addition to the world’s 50 Muslim nations. CCP-linked billionaire Neville Roy Singham has been bankrolling anti-Israel, pro-Iran protests in the U.S. for weeks.
