Scholastic pulls popular children’s book from ‘Captain Underpants’ author for ‘passive racism’

TORONTO — Scholastic says it has ceased publication of an illustrated children’s book from the author of “Captain Underpants” due to themes of “passive racism.”

The graphic novel, originally published in 2010 and called “The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future,” will no longer be distributed, according to a statement released by Scholastic.

“On Monday, March 22, 2021, with the full support of Dav Pilkey, Scholastic halted distribution of the 2010 book ‘The Adventures of Ook and Gluk.’ Together, we recognize that this book perpetuates passive racism,” the publisher said in the statement.

We need to stop overlooking one politically incorrect COVID-19 death factor

We need to stop overlooking one politically incorrect COVID-19 death factor

The United States has the 13th highest COVID-19 death rate relative to population. Many different factors shaped death rates in the pandemic. But there’s one uncomfortable reason that the U.S. likely experienced more COVID-19 deaths that has largely been ignored because it’s politically incorrect.

Out-of-control obesity rates and the “body positivity” movement predating the pandemic have left the U.S. population disproportionately vulnerable to COVID-19 compared to other countries. The U.S. ranks No. 12 in obesity worldwide, one of the highest rates among developed countries. One study found that 90% of worldwide COVID-19 deaths occurred in countries with high obesity rates.

Lessons from the Middle East

Lessons from the Middle East

Far from the memory of the too numerous wars that have marked the Middle East, the temptation is strong to think that diplomacy should replace force, and that a good negotiation, even if it means coming out a loser, is better than a conflict. This is more or less the philosophy that seems to inspire the “not so new” American administration, such as that for former US President Barack Obama.

Former President Donald J. Trump, for his part, had no doubt learned some lessons from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and more from the miserable double-cross offered by Hitler to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and the French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier, which would lead, a year later, to the Second World War. Daladier and Chamberlain were so opposed to the use of force that they preferred to sacrifice Czechoslovakia to Nazi appetites rather than stand firm while there was still time. The rest, unfortunately, is well known.

FUREY: The carbon tax ruling is judicial activism at its worst

Take a look at a couple of sentences about climate change that appeared Thursday concerning the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling on the carbon tax.

Here’s one: “It is a threat of the highest order to the country, and indeed to the world.” And here’s another: “The undisputed existence of a threat to the future of humanity cannot be ignored.”

Tsk… “Judicial Activism” is just a right wing conspiracy theory!

Feds dismiss concerns carbon price ruling would open ‘Pandora’s box’ of federal overreach

OTTAWA — The federal environment minister says this week’s Supreme Court ruling deeming a national price on pollution constitutional will not lead to federal overreach in areas of provincial jurisdiction.

In an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday, Jonathan Wilkinson dismissed concerns among some provincial leaders and dissenting opinions from the court, who argue that such a move hands over too much power to the federal government to encroach on provincial taxation laws, in this situation specifically, and may lead to further impositions.

CBC So Woke: Afraid to publish book title “White Niggers of America” by Pierre Vallières central to piece on “racism”

White teacher interrupts anti-racism talk to argue, swear at Black presenter in front of students

…On Thursday, Newton had reached the part of his workshop that dealt with a book by author Pierre Vallières, the title of which contains the N-word. Vallières was a leader within the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) who committed acts of terror.

Vallières’ book drew parallels between the plight of French-speaking Quebecers and the civil rights struggle of African Americans.

According to Newton, he started explaining to students that the parallel was not a fair and valid one, and that’s when he says the white teacher cut him off and began to argue.

The CBC is a culture of woke self flagellants which they attempt to force on tax payers.

A desire for business as normal with Beijing is coming up hard against the ugly reality of Xi’s swaggering authoritarianism

… Outraged by tweets from Lu Shaye, China’s “wolf warrior” ambassador in Paris, in which he described a respected French academic as a “crazed hyena” and “small-time hoodlum”, Clément Beaune, France’s Europe minister, summoned the wayward diplomat for a customary dressing-down.

Imagine his horror when Lu, ignoring protocol, said he was too busy to come. The French were aghast. “This is not how things are done,” Beaune spluttered. “Neither France nor Europe is a doormat.”

Yet this increasingly appears to be how Xi Jinping, China’s bullish president, and the Communist party view the EU. Or if not exactly a doormat, then a decidedly second-rate, fractious power bloc whose business and goodwill are dispensable.

If Meng were not held Justin would be lecturing us on the need to respect China.

Even now he refuses to say the word “genocide.”

Our political, corporate and academic classes have done well in the thrall of Beijing.

A return to business as usual with China’s tyrannical regime is the goal of the West’s China class.

Ignoring years of institutionalized Trudeau Idolatry the CBC pontificates on how US Media has lost public trust

How U.S. media lost the trust of the public

A global pandemic, historic anti-racism protests and a turbulent U.S. presidential election had Americans glued to their screens in 2020 like never before. Cable news ratings soared, online news subscriptions increased and the amount of time we all spent online broke records.

But as people consumed more news, they also began to trust the media less, surveys showed. According to a recent Gallup survey, the percentage of Americans with no trust in the mass media hit a record high in 2020: only nine per cent of respondents said they trust the mass media “a great deal” and a full 60 per cent said they have little to “no trust at all” in it.

The American media landscape has become increasingly polarized over the last few decades.

Hard hitting unbiased CBC  political coverage… paid for by you.

Ontario reports 2,448 new Covid cases … another union chimes in on relaxed lockdown measures

Ontario reports 2,448 new Covid cases … another union chimes in on relaxed lockdown measures

Ontario is reporting more than 2,400 new COVID-19 cases today as the province’s seven-day average of daily infections surpasses 2,000 for the first time in several weeks.

Provincial health officials logged 2,448 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus today, down slightly from the 2,453 reported on Saturday but up from 1,791 last week.

It is the fourth day in a row that the number of new infections jumped above 2,000 in the province.

Ontario easing COVID-19 restrictions is ‘threatening people’s lives’: nurses’ union

A union representing nurses in Ontario says the government’s loosening of restrictions is “threatening people’s lives” and has called for stronger measures to be put in place as the province faces a third wave of COVID-19.

The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) said in a statement Saturday that recent government decisions to loosen some dining restrictions, as well as allow personal care services to open, also threaten the province’s health-care system and in-person learning.

Like teacher’s unions little things such as a roof over your head and enough food to eat never seem to factor in their position on lockdowns.

Woman dead, six hospitalized after ‘multiple’ people stabbed at North Vancouver library … no updates as expected

Alleged North Vancouver Stabby Guy

A woman is dead and multiple people were taken to hospital following an apparently random stabbing spree in a busy area of North Vancouver on Saturday afternoon.

It happened around 1:45 p.m. within and outside the Lynn Valley Library, which anchors the Lynn Valley Village shopping area that was packed with weekend shoppers.

One suspect was arrested, and police said the attacker appeared to be acting alone.

No update on the events of last night other than the perp was “known to police.”

Knowing both the police and media expect this to be buried ASAP as it offends the agreed upon narrative.

Why the Left celebrate violence

They use protest to demonstrate the righteousness of their cause

If you were making the case for the right to protest, it couldn’t have had a worse ending: a police van on fire, two women filmed squatting to piss at the feet of riot cops, a man arrested for allegedly carrying a homemade spear, and 40 injuries suffered by officers. What had started in Bristol as a peaceful rally against the crime and policing bill ended as a riot outside Bridewell Police Station, then spilled into days of disorder.
