Billboards, Donations and 6,000 Letters: Why Luigi Mangione’s Fans Won’t Quit

As the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO heads to court this week, his support has proven surprisingly enduring

When accused UnitedHealthcare shooter Luigi Mangione arrives at a Manhattan courthouse for hearings this week, a digital billboard featuring amputee Michael Kissling will be mounted on a truck driving around outside.

Kissling, 32 years old, blames UnitedHealthcare for denying treatments he says could have saved his leg. He doesn’t condone violence, but says the killing of his insurance company’s chief executive, Brian Thompson, has helped draw attention to challenges that he and others have faced.

Of Mangione he says, “If he’s Malcolm X, then I’m trying to emulate Martin Luther King.”

Jamie Sarkonak: The CRTC’s top-down diversity mandate comes for Big Streaming

Where diversity data collection goes, quotas often follow. That’s why it’s concerning that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) ordered Netflix, Amazon and every other major online streamer to collect diversity data as a condition of operating here.

At the very end of the telecom regulator’s new policy on Canadian content is buried a new requirement for broadcasters to keep diversity statistics on key creative personnel, namely whether they are “racialized people, people with disabilities, individuals who identify as 2SLGBTQI+ and women.” This was released earlier in November. It doesn’t seem radical because the CRTC has been incrementally formalizing diversity requirements for so many years.

When BLM and Big Tranny were at their scammiest peak many streaming series were injected with nonsensical Black or Tranny story lines.

The end result? People stopped watching.

Cancon is typically bad. Racialized Cancon is worse.

Corruption scandal weakens Ukraine

Given that Canada has committed $22 billion in aid to Ukraine, the growing corruption scandal now reaching into President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office raises legitimate questions for taxpayers.

Why do we need to fund foreign aid? Because the swells like to virtue signal and feel important.

More than 16,000 Canadians died by MAID in 2024 — 5% of all deaths in Canada: report

As Canada approaches the ten-year mark of legalized doctor-assisted death, the number of annual deaths appears to be plateauing, according to the federal government’s latest report on medical assistance in dying (MAID).

A total of 16,499 people died by MAID in Canada in 2024. However, the year-over-year annual growth rate in deaths has been shrinking, from 36.8 per cent between 2019 and 2020, to 6.9 per cent between 2023 and 2024, according to Health Canada’s sixth annual report on MAID.

Will Trump invade Venezuela — and what comes after?

This month, as President Trump travelled to his Mar-a-Lago estate, he told reporters aboard Air Force One that he had “sort of” made up his mind about whether to launch US military strikes on Venezuela. “I can’t tell you what it would be,” he added.

Publicly the president has been keeping his options open. But behind the scenes, some of the most powerful people around him have been trying to persuade him to attack Venezuela — and remove its president, Nicolás Maduro — in what would be an extraordinary escalation of months-long military build-up in the Caribbean.

Those in favour of the strikes say they could bring democracy and prosperity to Venezuela and provide a way for the eight million people who have fled the country in the past ten years to return. These include hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who came to the US and who the Trump administration would like to deport from the country.

Labour pains: Why Canada’s reliance on temporary foreign workers may be hurting growth

When University of Waterloo economist Mikal Skuterud ponders the triangular relationship between immigration, technology and productivity, he finds himself thinking about Norway, where his family is from. It’s a place that doesn’t import low-skilled workers to do jobs Norwegians don’t want to do. That kind of work is mainly done by technology. The country’s fish processing industry is famously and thoroughly automated, as are places like supermarkets. “Low-wage jobs like you see in Canada literally don’t exist,” he says. “Even cashiers. The grocery store is completely self-checkout. It’s almost like there’s no employees in a lot of the stores.”
