“Canadian man” Mohamed Mohamed charged with terrorism after machete attack at Kenya mosque

NAIROBI – Police in Kenya say a Canadian man accused of wielding a machete and injuring almost half a dozen people at a mosque in Nairobi has pleaded not guilty.

Trump Derangement Syndrome… Canadian style

For the most part, I avoid conversations about Donald Trump…because none of them are worth having. In all honesty and I’ve said this time and time again, I can’t stand to listen to the man speak.

While there is some amusement in watching liberal heads exploding when he talks…I don’t need to actually listen to him to get the full effect…and this isn’t solving any of our problems.


A good rant that will offend the Elbow people.

Peter MacKinnon: University of Austin exposes everything wrong with Canadian universities

While Canadian universities drown in cancel culture, identity quotas and self-censorship, the University of Austin delivers excellence

Few Canadians have heard about the University of Austin but that may change as the university’s experiment in the post-secondary environment continues.

This writer visited the university in the Texas capital in March and spoke with the president, his academic and staff colleagues, and a student who stepped away from exam time to share her perspective on the school. It was clear that all were attracted to UATX by a commitment to innovation in post-secondary education.

‘I was lynched’: Why astronaut Julie Payette flamed out as governor general

Once a friend of the former astronaut-turned-viceregal, John Fraser describes how Julie Payette crumbled into “perpetual petulance,” in this excerpt from his new book, The Governors General: An Intimate History of Canada’s Highest Office.

It should not have ended this way. It should have ended with a national celebration of an amazing, vibrant, and still young woman who managed to surmount all the challenges in a mostly male world; who managed to storm through a mostly male engineering school right up to the day she graduated summa cum laude; who managed to get through mostly male selection and training at the Canadian Space Agency; and ultimately, who managed two trips to outer space with mostly American male crews at NASA. As if all that were not enough, she also managed to crown this extraordinary record by being appointed governor general, the highest and noblest position Canada has to offer its most outstanding citizens.

Jamie Sarkonak: Serving Starbucks in English might be ‘racism,’ Saskatchewan court says

Human rights commission must reconsider case of woman who was refused service in Tagalog

In Saskatchewan, the authorities are currently deciding whether to treat Tagalog like an official language.

It all started at the Starbucks in Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital. Vanessa Casila, a Filipina woman, tried to order in Tagalog. The employee taking her order refused, saying she would receive a formal reprimand from the manager if she went along with it. Casila then filed a human rights complaint, claiming that the “English only” policy amounted to discrimination based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, and nationality.

Crisis is coming, and voters may give the federal NDP another look

Somewhere, James Laxer is shedding a wistful tear. Along with Mel Watkins, Cy Gonick and others, Mr. Laxer led the radical Waffle faction within the federal NDP in the late 1960s and early 1970s, whose mission was to pull the party sharply to the left.

They advocated for nationalization of major industries, strict limits on foreign ownership, sharply higher taxes on the wealthy, and perhaps most controversially, withdrawal from NATO. They were organized, disciplined and uncompromising: a party within a party.


Are the Elbow people so stupid they’d vote Lewis in. I’m betting they won’t as Coyne thinks they might.
