GOLDSTEIN: Liberals’ kid gloves treatment of China is nothing new

While Liberal MP Michael Ma has belatedly apologized for questioning the veracity of expert testimony at a Commons committee hearing that China uses forced labour — claiming that was not his intent — cozying up to China has been mainstream Liberal thinking in a line stretching from Justin Trudeau to Mark Carney.

When is enough enough?

Remember when the left would propose a new policy and then ask, “If it saves just one life, wouldn’t it be worth it?” Their suggestions usually go only one way, benefiting some fringe group while inconveniencing the majority.

When it comes to immigration, the left is, as usual, off the rails. Once upon a time, the frequency of horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens were relatively rare. That frequency has been skyrocketing of late.

Chris Selley: Suddenly, Toronto police decide now that Jews shouldn’t be harassed in their homes?

An interesting development last week on the front lines of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — which to some truly awful people means a Jewish neighbourhood in North Toronto. Toronto police announced that henceforth, “due to the changing security landscape in Toronto in recent weeks, including increased volatility and heightened fear in our communities, demonstrations moving into residential neighbourhoods in the Bathurst (Street) and Sheppard (Avenue) area presents an unacceptable risk to public safety.”


I wonder what went on behind the scenes to trigger this sudden about face? Lawsuit?

Politico yanks antisemitic cartoon of blood-covered Trump and Netanyahu

WASHINGTON — Politico was forced to yank a controversial cartoon depicting a blood-soaked President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an oversized nose sitting among bags of cash.

The cartoon, published Friday by the outlet — which is owned by the German media group Axel Springer — shows the world leaders sitting on a rickety ship alongside a handful of top GOP officials wearing blood-stained Jewish prayer shawls and yarmulkes.

As prime minister, Mark Carney makes Question Period a low priority

When he’s in the House of Commons during the daily 45-minute Question Period, Mark Carney seems to enjoy himself.

While it’s never shown on TV cameras — House of Commons personnel and not broadcasters control the visuals — those in the galleries will often see Carney smiling and joking with members of the opposition, including Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Judging by his grins and applause, Carney seems to be happy when someone on his side scores a debating point against an opponent.

But enjoy it as he might, Carney is rarely in Question Period.

We Are All Rhodesians Now: Why the First Casualty of Western Self-Repudiation Was a Country and Why It Won’t Be the Last

The history of the twentieth century is a graveyard of nations, but few corpses refuse to stay buried quite like Rhodesia. To the modern liberal consensus, the short-lived republic in southern Africa is a pariah state, a moral stain on the map of history that was righteously erased to make way for the “liberation” of Zimbabwe. It is dismissed by them as a racist anachronism, a desperate attempt by a white minority to hold back the tide of history. Yet, for those willing to look past the cordon sanitaire of “accepted historiography,” Rhodesia remains a haunting and prophetic presence.

The story of Rhodesia is not only a regional tragedy; it is a civilizational warning. It is the story of a state that was functional, prosperous, and militarily superior, yet was dismantled not by its enemies in the bush but by the “kith and kin” of its own civilizational bloc. It serves as a controlled experiment in the “Suicide of the West,” illustrating what happens when a civilization loses the will to defend its own outposts and succumbs to a “politics of cultural despair.”

Douglas Todd: Unsolved murder of Chinese spiritual group worker justifies ‘passionate’ scrutiny, B.C. judge rules

The unsolved murder of an employee of a giant spiritual health organization — which a Mountie ranked as one of the most “strange” cases he’s ever seen — is back in the spotlight after a B.C. judge ruled the matter of significant public interest.

The killing of Bo Fan, an employee of Create Abundance, has drawn international media attention over the past six years, including from Canadian news outlets, Le Monde in France, the South China Morning Post in East Asia, Newsweek in the U.S., and The Sunday Guardian in India.

Very weird.

The Houthis Have Entered the Iran War – Here’s What That Could Mean

New Ballistic Missiles Displayed at the Houthi Military Parade

The war in Iran has taken another turn as Yemen’s Houthi rebels enter the conflict.

The Houthis fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at southern Israel on Saturday, opening up what could be a dangerous new front in a regional conflict that has already killed thousands and affected energy markets on a global scale.

MORGAN: Dirty secret behind Canada’s high food prices — a Soviet-style cartel your politicians are too scared to touch

From RCMP raids on Alberta egg farmers to a billion gallons of dumped milk, Canada’s supply management system is robbing consumers in plain sight.

Imagine living under a system of market control so stringent that federal police will swarm your home and arrest you if you try to sell eggs from your own farm. You don’t have to imagine it in Canada. Southern Alberta chicken farmer Henk Van Essen had multiple RCMP cruisers descend upon his property last year, and he was jailed for the crime of selling eggs without a government-issued quota.

AI: The Biggest Heist in World History

Davos, Big Tech, and the quiet looting of everyone’s intellectual property.

What do you get when you combine Big Tech, a Bill Clinton fixer, Davos, the architect of the Hunter Biden laptop disinfo, and “Artificial Intelligence”? The biggest heist in world history. A forced income transfer worth trillions of dollars, siphoned from the public, headed to a small sliver of the 1 percent.

Conservatives put pressure on Carney to clarify his position on forced labour in China

The Conservatives have written to the Prime Minister to demand that he clarify his position on the forced labour of the mainly Muslim Uyghur minority in China after a Liberal MP was accused of attempting to cast doubt on the existence of the practice.

Michael Chong, the Conservative foreign affairs critic, wrote to Mark Carney Friday asking him if his assessment is “that Uyghur forced labour has and is being used” in China.

More Man Than Ape

A recent book challenges humans’ common ancestry with primates.

Ever since Darwin, biologists have believed that much could be learned about human nature from apes and monkeys, the primates with which we share common ancestry. Chimpanzees, in particular, our closest living relatives, are likely to reflect many features of our early primate nature given that we and they shared a common ancestor who lived some 7 million years ago, not so long on evolution’s time scale.

Jesse Kline: Tell me again why Air Canada must be officially bilingual

The horrific crash at New York’s LaGuardia airport last weekend, in which an Air Canada jet collided with a fire truck on the runway, has been described by Canadian politicians as a “crisis” that’s completely “unacceptable.” Only they weren’t talking about who may be to blame for an accident that killed two pilots and injured 40 others. Oh, no. This is Canada, where a crash landing sparks a discussion not about aviation safety, but about language “rights.”


It’s silly to eliminate non-speakers of French from jobs in their own government.
