“Cancel Culture”

I think Canada is worth celebrating. I think Canada is a great historical achievement. It is a country that people all around the world seek to join as new Canadians. It is an imperfect country but it is still a great country, just as John Macdonald was an imperfect man, but was still a great leader. If we want to get into cancelling every figure in our history who took positions on issues at the time that we now judge harshly, and rightly, in historical retrospect, then I think almost the entire founding leadership of our country gets cancelled.

Keynes, who died in 1946, gave his name to ‘Keynesianism’ – a branch of economics based on the belief that government intervention can improve economic conditions.

However new information provided to visitors via an app at his regular Sussex retreat, Charleston Farmhouse, suggests Keynes – considered a ‘left-wing’ thinker – subscribed to poisonous views that racial wars and global segregation would be needed to ‘protect our standard of life from injury at the hands of more prolific races’, the Telegraph reports.

Mature student Lisa Keogh went back to full-time education — to get a law degree — partly because she wanted to set a good example to her children.

She has two sons, aged nine and seven, who are learning about the birds and the bees at school. Previously, she would never have considered this to be a controversial subject — ‘It’s biology, isn’t it?’ — but not now.

Lisa, 29, is facing disciplinary action by Abertay University in Dundee after saying during a discussion on transgender issues in an online seminar that women were born with female genitals and the difference in physical strength between men and women ‘was a fact’.

Van Morrison’s “Latest Record Project Volume 1” pulls no punches against his woke detractors.

Van Morrison released a Rorschach Test disguised as an album this week in the 28-track Latest Record Project Volume 1.
