TCW’s 12-year culture war and a not quite final goodbye

TCW’s 12-year culture war and a not quite final goodbye

WHAT difference did we make? Well, we didn’t dent policy. All the destructive postmodernist and neo-Marxist thinking – campus-driven leftism, feminism, transgenderism, scientism, critical race theory, decolonisation and now Islamism – has dug ever deeper into the fabric of society. We didn’t stop this politically driven seepage but we did, I hope, create an unfettered platform for considered dissent. Importantly, we dared to dissent in an era of political correctness and in a culture of complaint.

Such a good site.

An Ohio woman took in two strangers. Then she saw their ‘wanted’ photos.

An Ohio woman took in two strangers. Then she saw their ‘wanted’ photos.

The two women who drifted into a small Ohio town reminded Adrienne Behrman of her younger self. They were fleeing a toxic living situation in Maryland, they said, when their car broke down and left them stranded in a motel.

The story was a bit vague. But Behrman, 49, had twice been homeless, overcome addiction and knew how hard it could be to share details. She took the women into her home despite friends’ warnings.

The Odyssey Hullabaloo

The Odyssey Hullabaloo

Acclaimed British filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight, Oppenheimer) newest film, The Odyssey, opens this week in the United States.

But controversy has already surrounded Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s 2,700-year-old epic poem about Odysseus’s 10-year struggle to return home after the Achaian victory in the decade-long Trojan War.

Some of the film’s actresses have suggested that Nolan is offering a more feminist—and long-overdue—take on the ancient poem. Actress Lupita Nyong’o, in particular, has criticized Homer’s purported sexism.

Public must pay sex offender’s $50,000 legal tab due to ‘deliberately uncooperative’ Toronto cop, judge rules

Public must pay sex offender’s $50,000 legal tab due to ‘deliberately uncooperative’ Toronto cop, judge rules

A judge has ordered that the public pick up a convicted sex offender’s $50,000 legal tab due to delayed disclosure of records by Toronto police and the “deliberately uncooperative” detective in charge of the case.

Superior Court Justice Gillian Roberts took the rare step of ordering costs against the Crown — the provincial government — last month, in the case of a man who, after accusing his partner of cheating, ripped off her pants, attempted to penetrate her digitally and tried to shove her tampon in her mouth while threatening to kill her.

‘Just stop burning fossil fuels.’ Scientists stress that our smoky skies have only one true fix

‘Just stop burning fossil fuels.’ Scientists stress that our smoky skies have only one true fix

It’s another smoky summer in southern Ontario, and people breathing poor air in and around Toronto are once again asking what governments can do about wildfire smoke.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has defended the province’s wildfire budget and has asked Ottawa for extra help. Some Republican lawmakers in the U.S. have also demanded Canada do more to stop smoke from drifting across the border.

I say we start burning EV’s instead!

Canada-US Bridge Pact Omits Canada’s Debt Costs, Document Shows

Canada-US Bridge Pact Omits Canada’s Debt Costs, Document Shows

Canada and the US agreed to split the profit from a new bridge between Ontario and Michigan for 15 years — with no provision to cover Canada’s debt-service costs on the project, according to a copy of the pact seen by Bloomberg News.

The agreement in principle covering the Gordie Howe International Bridge appears to contradict earlier public remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney. And it shows what Canada conceded to get the President Donald Trump’s administration to stop blocking the 1.5-mile bridge over the Detroit River.


Carney lies always.
