Liberal pollster describes ideal Conservative party to LPC media minion

Three in 10 Canadians say they would never vote Conservative: Nanos survey

Recent polling from Nanos Research shows Canadians believe a more socially progressive and economically centrist Conservative Party would make it more appealing.

According to the latest poll, commissioned by CTV News, when asked what would be the best path forward for the Conservative Party to make it a more appealing voting choice, 29 per cent of respondents said “be socially progressive and more centrist on economic issues.”

Meanwhile, 30 per cent said they would never vote Conservative.

It would appear the CPC braintrust is ahead of the curve in their quest to be the Liberal party.

Ukrainian woman claims invading Russian soldiers killed, raped civilians

Anastasia Taran, a 30-year-old waitress who escaped Irpin, described how the invasion of the Russian forces has turned the city into “hell,” Euromaidan Press reported.

“There are plenty of Russian soldiers out there who just shoot people who enter private homes and, at best, just kick people out of their homes,” said Taran who now provides tips on Instagram on how to get out of the city.

“They rape women and the dead are just being dumped. They open the basements where people are hiding and shoot them.”

Trudeau arrives in Brussels to wait tables at European Parliament ahead of NATO, G7 talks

Trudeau arrives in Brussels to address European Parliament ahead of NATO, G7 talks

The prime minister’s plane touched down at a Brussels military base this morning.

Trudeau’s speech is set to stress the importance of countries on both sides of the Atlantic working together to defend democracy in the face of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

It will be Trudeau’s second speech to European parliamentarians, following a 2017 address that was meant as a shot in the arm for a continent reeling from Britain’s vote a year earlier to leave the European Union amid the election of Donald Trump in the United States.

Who writes this bullshit? Maggie?

Diversity Smokescreen

The notion that a demographically representative college class makes for better education is a pretext for the real proposition: that certain people deserve reparations.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear two more cases challenging the use of race as a criterion in college admissions, as has allegedly happened at Harvard University (a private institution) and the University of North Carolina (public). On the surface, the argument turns on whether the desire for a diverse student body trumps many laws and the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibit discrimination and guarantee equal protection to all. The question applies to virtually all universities because they are either public or accept government money.

The hunt for superyachts of sanctioned Russian oligarchs

Two superyachts linked to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich have docked in Turkey, beyond the reach of UK and EU sanctions.

Each of the vessels cost more than $500m and are among a number tracked by Lloyd’s List Intelligence. The shipping data experts have been monitoring on-board tracking devices and have shared this information exclusively with the BBC, enabling the journeys of these and other vessels linked to sanctioned Russians to be plotted.

A boatload of young Ukrainians tried to stop the superyacht My Solaris docking in Bodrum in Turkey. The other Abramovich-linked yacht Eclipse sailed to Marmaris.

‘We have failed’: how California’s homelessness catastrophe is worsening

California – Sanctioned Homeless Camp

When California shut down in March 2020, advocates for unhoused people thought the state might finally be forced to solve its homelessness crisis. To slow the spread of Covid, they hoped, officials would have to provide people living outside with stable and private shelter and housing.

But in the two years since, California’s humanitarian catastrophe has worsened: deaths of people on the streets are rising; college students are living in their cars; more elderly residents are becoming unhoused; encampment communities are growing at beaches, parks, highway underpasses, lots and sidewalks.

California has the fifth largest economy in the world, a budget surplus, the most billionaires in the US and some of the nation’s wealthiest neighborhoods. Yet the riches of the Golden State have not yielded solutions that match the scale of the crisis that’s been raging for decades. Pandemic-era programs have had some success for a slice of the unhoused population, but many measures have fallen short.

Conspirators in Their Own Words

Noble left-wing ends always justify odious means, in this case projecting one’s own conspiracist efforts by smearing innocent others as conspiracists.

For the last five years, the Left—defined as the fusion of the mainstream media, Silicon Valley, the radical new Democratic Party, and the vestigial Hillary Clinton machine—has crafted all sorts of conspiracies to destroy their perceived conservative enemies.

Their method has focused on one major projection: alleging conspiracy on the part of others, which is a kind of confirmation of their own conspiracies to destroy their opponents in general, and Donald Trump in particular.

How Edward VIII Informed for the Nazis and Urged the ‘Severe’ Bombing of Britain

Meghan Markle, “King” Edward, Hitler

Long-standing rumors that Edward VIII aided the Nazis after being forced to abdicate have been given new credence by evidence that he passed critical information to the Germans and urged them to continue “severe bombing” of the country, paving the way for him to return as head of a puppet government.

The hate that CAIR loves to defend

CAIR defends a trainer fired for posts cursing Zionists and saying Israel doesn’t have a right to exist, but attacks Canary Mission.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) again is making it clear that its understanding of antisemitism stops at the moment Israel, the birthplace of Judaism whose existence is supported by more than 90 percent of the world’s Jewry, is mentioned favorably.

Last week, CAIR’s Philadelphia chapter filed an EEOC complaint, alleging employment discrimination by a posh Pennsylvania private school. Natalie Abulhawa was fired from her job as an athletic trainer at the Agnes Irwin School in Bryn Mawr after a review of her social media posts, which cursed “Zionists” with a crude and sexist term while another said “Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.”

What will Russia’s oligarchs do next?

Wealth and privilege can be violently snatched away

Russia’s loyal oligarchs have always been liable to become chess pieces in political struggles. After the revolution broke out in Petrograd in February 1917, the long-despised Romanov aristocracy were ruthlessly stripped of their property and most prized possessions. The people demanded nothing less than their total humiliation and dispossession.

Sabrina Maddeaux: So-called leftist pact could be the best thing to happen to Conservatives

The new Liberal-NDP deal may be the best thing to happen to Conservatives in years –– just, perhaps, not certain Conservatives.

Leadership hopefuls eager to take over the country’s top job sooner rather than later got a rude wakeup call when news of a confidence and supply deal broke Monday night. The pact will, barring any surprises from either side, see the Liberals retain power until 2025 in exchange for passage of some NDP priorities.

No, it’s not racist to teach kids to speak properly

Woke academics think standard English is a tool of racial oppression.

Teaching children to pronounce words correctly is a form of racial injustice. There is no such thing as incorrect pronunciation, only alternative pronunciation.

That’s the view of three linguists at the University of Essex. In an article in the Conversation, published earlier this month and picked up by the press over the weekend, Amanda Cole, Ella Jeffries and Peter Patrick argue that the idea of standard English – a correct way to say words – is ‘pernicious’ and ‘a smokescreen for prejudice’. This dialect-based prejudice even has a name – ‘linguicism’.

‘I’m alive’: Former Canadian Forces sniper debunks rumours of his death in Ukraine

A former Canadian Armed Forces sniper now fighting Russian forces in Ukraine says he was the last to learn of his own death.

The former CAF member — who goes by the nom de guerre Wali — told CBC News he returned to a safe location in Ukraine Monday after a week spent battling Russian forces on the front lines in the Kyiv region. When he turned on his phone, he discovered hundreds of urgent messages from people convinced he’d been killed in action.
