October 7 barbarism beyond all imagination

October 7 barbarism beyond all imagination

Among the mutilated and butchered bodies of young women slaughtered on October 7, it was their colourful, polished nails that many of the morgue staff remember.

Bright, beautiful, shiny, pink manicures glistening amid the pervasive ‘grey and green’ of death were often the only reminder of who these girls had been just hours earlier.

Because Hamas-led terrorists had not just executed these women. They had ‘deliberately and systematically’ defiled them, as the most comprehensive account of the atrocity released by The Civil Commission today shows.

Lament for a lost generation: Young Canadians’ bleak future shames us all

Lament for a lost generation: Young Canadians’ bleak future shames us all

Waves of interns are now making their way to Toronto’s Bay Street. They are easy to spot – young, big smiles, eager to learn and grateful for a taste of economic opportunity. You can see them in smaller cities too, heading to the regional offices of banks, insurance companies, accounting practices, technology businesses, energy organizations, and large consulting outfits. Some have delightful titles such as summer associates.

Interns believe they have a shot at success, sustaining if not surpassing the middle-class lifestyle their parents want for them. Such is, to use the words of Prime Minister Mark Carney from earlier this year, a “pleasant fiction.” For those without parental support, it is a long shot at best.


Apparently mass immigration has nothing to do with nothing!

The ‘Very Fine People’ Were Paid

The ‘Very Fine People’ Were Paid

My second book, , was not only a smash hit of political satire, but I spent a great deal of time trolling “the very fine people” hoax and mocking how the left used it as a decade-long lie that acted as the foundation of the “Trump is a racist” narrative.

I have done hundreds of interviews mocking the “very fine people” hoax, and had no idea that my jokes about the fraud would become real life.

Douglas Todd: What’s behind Canada’s doctor shortage? One factor rarely gets discussed

Canada’s family doctor shortage: The public, and politicians, worry about it a lot.

Most everyone believes it’s a crisis that almost six million Canadians are without a family doctor, and waiting times are lengthening.

The solutions trotted out most frequently involve governments paying to expand medical schools to train more physicians, or luring more doctors to Canada from other countries.

GLP-1s May Become the Next Big Treatment for Problem Drinkers

GLP-1s May Become the Next Big Treatment for Problem Drinkers

Having gone from diabetes treatment to weight-loss miracle, GLP-1s are already blockbuster drugs. Now a new study in The Lancet shows that GLP-1s help with another common lifestyle disease: alcohol-use disorder.

It’s tempting to claim that we finally have an effective treatment for alcoholism. But in fact, we already have one. The decades-old Sinclair Method—which involves regularly taking a prescription drug before drinking to block pleasure-inducing endorphins, thus retraining the brain—is reasonably effective but seldom used.

Toronto World Cup tickets listed for $64,000 despite Ontario’s new anti-scalping law

Toronto World Cup tickets listed for $64,000 despite Ontario’s new anti-scalping law

Hundreds of tickets for Canada’s June 12 World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina are still up for sale at online reselling sites for more than ten times their original asking price — despite Ontario’s new anti-scalping law.

New amendments to the Ticket Sales Act make it illegal to resell tickets to any event in Ontario, including six Toronto games which are part of soccer’s global showcase, for more than their face value.

Sweden Drops ‘Islamophobia’, Votes for Free Speech

Sweden Drops ‘Islamophobia’, Votes for Free Speech

Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard recently announced that the Swedish government would be dropping not just the word but the entire concept of “Islamophobia,” out of a preference for freedom of speech.

“We are pushing for the term ‘Islamophobia’ to be replaced with what is called ‘anti-Muslim racism’ or ‘anti-Muslim hatred’ in English,” Stenergard said in response to a question from the Sweden Democrats party. Charges of “racist” or “Islamophobe” are being used worldwide to shut down anyone who questions or criticizes Islam or Islamist doctrines.

Sweden’s decision is long overdue.

‘It has been devastating,’ U.S. spirits group says about Canadian alcohol boycotts

Whether at the grocery store or the NSLC, Martha Reynolds pays attention to where products are from.

“I’m doing my very best to not buy American,” she said outside a Halifax location of the province’s Crown-run alcohol retailer.

For alcohol, this means bourbon purchases have been replaced with scotch whisky, but she’s made other changes as well.

Bryan Brulotte: Europe wants our energy. Ottawa must act now

Bryan Brulotte: Europe wants our energy. Ottawa must act now

In a 2022 news conference, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there wasn’t a clear business case for building liquified natural gas (LNG) terminals to export to Europe. This past week, Mark Carney suggested in a media interview that the first thing European authorities are interested in when they sit down with Canada is not our energy. He went on to say that energy is something Canada raises as being part of the solution in respect to nuclear and LNG.


Carney will talk big but nothing will get done.

Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net‑Zero Pretense

Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net‑Zero Pretense

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called the nuclear phaseout a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas.
