Europe’s Boiling Frogs

We all know the myth – to boil frogs, slowly increase the temperature so they won’t realize it until it’s too late to jump out of the pot and save themselves. This summer, it appears the frogs are starting to feel the heat. Along with the anger at open borders, this may finally presage the end of the green nonsense and the politicians who are destroying their countries by promoting this hogswallop.

Colby Cosh: How long before Statistics Canada loses complete touch with the economy?

Colby Cosh: How long before Statistics Canada loses complete touch with the economy?

Last month, when Statistics Canada delivered unexpected bad news about a second consecutive quarter of negative real-GDP growth, there was a frenzy of pooh-poohing and counter-pooh-poohing about whether Canada was really in recession. On Thursday CP’s Craig Lord called attention to a different angle on the whole fuss, which isn’t the notional recession (yet), but the forecasting failure that preceded it. Economists at the Desjardins credit-union consortium are warning that StatCan’s monthly economic estimates are growing wobbly, leading to larger retrospective revisions — i.e., bigger surprises — when quarterly and yearly data are released later.

Public nudity at Toronto pride event draws criticism after live television incident

CALGARY — A man walking through the opening day of Toronto’s Pride festival weekend without pants and exposing his genitals during a live television broadcast has sparked criticism and questions over age-appropriateness at Pride events.

The incident occurred on Friday during a live report by CTV News anchor Lyndsay Morrison from downtown Toronto, where, as she was reporting on the event, a man came into frame and was seen casually walking in the background of the shot with his genitals exposed.

Your tax dollars make the world safe for Ukraine’s Drag Queens

Your tax dollars make the world safe for Ukraine’s Drag Queens

On Saturday night in Kyiv, you could hear the beat of techno music coming from behind the thick line of trees along a busy road as an air-raid siren wailed, warning of a possible attack.

A path winding through the wooded area led to an open-air industrial site where people danced in the fog of artificial smoke to a DJ performing on a stage that flashed red and gold lights. It was only 6:30 p.m. − the whole party being held under a bright blue sky.

So your tax dollars are being used to make the world safe for Ukraine’s Drag Queens. That’s just swell.

The Media Have Wasted Almost 10 HOURS on the Reflecting Pool

The news media’s obsession with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting pool has continued apace. Earlier this week, we found that TV news had spent almost seven hours on the story in just the past nine days. As of Friday morning June 25, that total has reached almost ten hours across left-wing cable (CNN and MSNBC) and broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC).
