MORGAN: Quit pretending we need indigenous consent!

Albertans are rightly skeptical of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney to build a new pipeline to the Pacific coast. That skepticism morphed into hostile cynicism last weekend as Smith found herself booed at her own AGM in Edmonton at the very mention of the agreement.

Considering the messaging from Ottawa on the issue, though, why on earth should Albertans believe for a second that Carney genuinely wants a pipeline developed?

‘Indigenous’ is the new ‘Oriental’ – and that opens the door to pretendians

Grey Owl – Archie Belaney – A visionary!

Like most children, my kids did not have naturally curious taste buds. And like most children, they would often fall back on safe classics, like macaroni and cheese and instant noodles.

My son still enjoys the noodles, and he has remained loyal to the Mr. Noodles brand. That’s because Mr. Noodles alone offers his favourite flavour: “Oriental.”

One afternoon, as I stood stirring a pot of noodles, he asked, “What is Oriental, anyway?” Which is a good question. Because “Oriental” isn’t any particular flavour – it’s not soy sauce, not five-spice, but … “Oriental.”

The Innocent Bystanders Caught in Deadly Crossfire of Self-Defense Shootings

Kenneth Santana-Rodriguez brought along his 9mm handgun on a pedicure date with a woman at “A Touch of Beauty” nail salon in Holyoke, Mass.

They were sitting side by side when the father of the woman’s child burst into the salon, demanding to know the nature of their relationship. Santana-Rodriguez told police the man raised his shirt to reveal a firearm and said, You know what’s about to happen.

Santana-Rodriguez pulled out his 9mm and shot twice. “It was him or me,” he told police. Yet he missed his intended target, Irvin Sanchez. One bullet instead struck the chest of an employee who had been working on the woman’s toenails, killing Trung “Michael” Tran, 33 years old. Prosecutors filed a charge of first-degree murder against Santana-Rodriguez.

‘Expert panel’ told Liberals to ban certain models of the SKS rifle in nearly year-old report

OTTAWA — A new report from an expert panel struck to help guide the Liberals’ efforts to ban firearms shows the government appears to have ignored parts of its advice when it comes to certain makes of the SKS semi-automatic rifle.

That make of firearm has proven to be among the most controversial for the Liberals when it comes to the government’s list of more than 2,500 makes and models of guns it has banned since 2020.


I’m sick of this DEI hire.

CURRIER: Canada lost track of 1 million people – and still has no plan

Immigration. That very word can spark a heated debate in Canada, and it frequently does. While it’s clear that Canada as a nation was built on immigration following early colonization, it has always remained a point of controversy. How many people should we allow in? Where should they come from? What is the criteria for allowing an immigrant to Canada and where will they live?

Taking out the garbage in Minnesota

President Trump has had enough. A majority of Americans have had enough of Ilhan Omar’s ingratitude.

So last week, Trump minced no words. He came straight out and called her “garbage,” and then called “her friends” also garbage.

No doubt he was referring to her fellow Somalis out there in Minneapolis who number at around 100,000, and do nothing “but complain,” according to Trump.

The Andrew debacle has blown open the royal coffers for all to see

If you’ve ever dramatically broken up with an ex, only to find, to your miserable disbelief, that they keep popping up in the most inconvenient circumstances, you may feel a degree of sympathy with the royals as regards Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. A few weeks after he was stripped of his titles and ordered to leave Royal Lodge, he may now be the Andrew formerly known as Prince, but he shows no signs of wishing to leave his Windsor grace-and-favour home. By the terms of his (remarkably generous) lease, he is entitled to twelve months’ notice before departing. As one of his few remaining friends told the Times, ‘It’s really rather sad, but if it’s a case of who will blink first, then Andrew is going to dig in. He ain’t going anywhere.’


I wonder how long a white monarchy will last in a kingdom whose “subjects” hate white people?

Barbara Kay: The ‘Great Feminization’ is eating Jewish institutions alive

In September, public intellectual Helen Andrews caused a stir when she delivered a provocative 17-minute speech, titled “Overcoming the Feminization of Culture,” to the National Conservatism Conference, later published as an article for Compact, titled “The Great Feminization.”

Andrews summarized feminization as the prioritizing of feminine over masculine interests, but additionally prioritizing “empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition.” All these traits combine, she believes, in institutions where females are numerically dominant, to define “wokeness” and “cancel culture.”

Make Money Not War

Trump to host two African leaders! That was a footnote to world news last week still dominated by efforts to stop the Ukraine war.

However, to those who follow African affairs, the triangular meeting at the White House looked like a miracle.

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame seemed determined to end a decades-long war that, despite claiming at least as many victims as the current war in Ukraine or the recent war in Gaza, never hit global headlines.
