OTTAWA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says his government’s unsuccessful constitutional challenge of the federal carbon tax law doesn’t change his mind about the overall issue, calling the federal law “simply wrong.”
The federal Liberals, meanwhile, say the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision means the debate on whether Canada will have carbon pricing is “over.”
A teacher suspended after allegedly showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad during a religious education lesson is said to have accepted that pupils would tell their parents about it before displaying the images.
Dozens of furious Muslim parents protested outside the historic Batley Grammar School in West Yorkshire today, which had to delay its opening and told pupils to stay at home amid chaotic scenes at the gates.
A school in Yorkshire has issued a grovelling apology after a teacher showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
We don’t have blasphemy laws in Britain.
Teachers are free to explore all religions and themes.
Our schools mustn’t be intimated into submission for daring to do so! pic.twitter.com/dnudTulLiq

The head of the Public Health Agency of Canada refused to explain to a House of Commons committee the specific reasons why a prominent Chinese Canadian scientist and her husband were fired by the country’s top laboratory after a police investigation.
PHAC president Iain Stewart was grilled by the Committee on Canada-China Relations on March 22 about the termination of the two biologists from their employment at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, Canada’s highest-security Level 4 laboratory, back in 2019.
PHAC president given until Friday to explain why two scientists let go
The president of the Public Health Agency of Canada has been given until the end of the week to explain why two Canadian government scientists were let go 18 months after being escorted from Canada’s only Level 4 laboratory.
Iain Stewart came under fire Monday from opposition MPs after he repeatedly refused to explain why PHAC terminated the employment of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, in January.
Stewart told the special committee on Canada-China relations that he could not provide details due to privacy issues and “security with respect to the investigation” still being conducted by the RCMP.
Two legal teams fought tooth and nail over three gruelling weeks. This week, they rounded out the jury panel for arguably the highest profile murder trial in Minnesota history.
Former police officer Derek Chauvin goes on trial next Monday on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, last May in the city of Minneapolis.
Fourteen jurors, who will remain anonymous and unseen throughout the televised trial, will decide whether Mr Chauvin should serve time in prison or be acquitted.
Riots regardless.
After Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition request on Dec. 1, 2018, Beijing warned Canada of “serious consequences” if she wasn’t freed. It carried through with its threat a few days later, when it detained Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. After that, the regime blocked Canadian agricultural imports to China.
Ottawa has adopted stronger language of late over the arrest of the two Canadians, in contrast to its earlier, noticeably softer tone, which typically praised China for the economic benefit it presents before calling out the regime’s hostilities.
Canada’s China class is well looked after by PM Blackie McBlackface
When Ontario voters elected Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government in 2018, few could have suspected they would get the reckless financial attitudes and policies of the previous Liberal government.
But that’s what we have with Ford delivering a budget on Wednesday that could have been written by the Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne Liberal governments of 2003-18.
In the lead-up to his election I recall several in the media touting Doug as “Nothing like his brother Rob,” for once the media didn’t lie.
Ontario reports 2,380 new COVID-19 infections and 17 more deaths; cases are over reported due to data catch-up
Ontario reported more than 2,300 new COVID-19 cases but the Ministry of Health says today’s case count is over reported due to data catch-up.
Provincial health officials logged 2,380 new infections on Thursday, compared to 1,571 on Wednesday.
However, officials say the latest numbers are higher by approximately 280 cases due to a data catch-up process related to the provincial system.
Canadian vaccine shipments threatened by EU and India
Just as Canada’s vaccine program was starting to gain steam, comes word that it could all fall apart.
Both the European Union and India, our major sources of vaccine doses — our only sources thus far — are both looking at blocking the export of vaccines to deal with a slow rollout at home and rising COVID-19 case counts.
The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday has given the federal government the constitutional green light to impose a carbon tax on the provinces.
The decision was the culmination of years of disputes between some provinces and the federal government over the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA). The law, which was introduced in 2018, laid out a national framework for pricing carbon – one that applies to everyday consumers as well as industrial emitters.
Taxes used to be the cost of maintaining the social contract, now it’s just theft by the ruling class.
What, exactly, are the taxpayers paying for in the highly politicized and loaded-for-money wokester FBI these days?
The recent mass-shooting out of Colorado, from a murder-spewing freak they knew about, would suggest nothing. While they were out there busy looking for ‘white supremacists’ this admitted refugee from Syria was making plans to kill.
When the Biden administration undertook its first known act of war a few weeks ago, it provided an illuminating snapshot of conflict in the 21st century. The aerial strike on Iranian-backed Iraqi Shia militias in eastern Syria, facing territory held by American-backed Syrian proxy forces, in response to the shelling of American positions in Iraq by Iranian-backed Iraqi militias which led to the death of an American private contractor, encapsulates the central role of surrogate warfare in modern conflict.
Most attacks on Asian Americans are not carried out by racist whites.
Hate crimes against Asian Americans have increased substantially across the largest US cities. Recent killings in Atlanta, at Asian-owned massage parlours, have drawn international attention. Eight people were murdered, six of them women of Asian descent.
Some in the media have tried to blame the attacks on ‘white supremacy’.
Leftists’ absurd excuse: climate change. The real problem: socialism.
To understand the illegal immigration problem on our southern border, we must first understand what is happening in Latin America. Why have millions of people left their homes, possessions, and families and endured hardships and perils of every sort in a bid to make a life for themselves elsewhere? Ask a South American refugee, and he’ll likely tell you the problem is socialism.
An appeals court on Wednesday ruled that states may restrict people from openly carrying firearms in public—upholding a Hawaii gun regulation that bans residents from openly carrying guns without a license.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 that restrictions on carrying guns in public except for hunting do not violate the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.
Rep. Ilhan Omar is taking heat for tweeting about how “narratives” change based on a suspect’s “race or ethnicity” in the wake of the Colorado massacre.
“The shooter’s race or ethnicity seems front and center when they aren’t white,” Omar (D-Minn.) wrote Tuesday. “Otherwise, it’s just a mentally ill young man having a bad day.
When my grandparents migrated to New York from Russia over a century ago, they found a city that was hardly paradise, but one that provided a pathway towards a better life. Life was tough, crowded and always a paycheck from poverty. My relatives were poor, but so was everyone; eventually, they all bought houses or apartments, and entered the middle class. As for crime in their native Brownsville, the home of Murder, Incorporated and other villainous enterprises, it rarely impacted “civilians”; my mother would tell me how a young girl could still walk across Prospect Park without fear of assault.
