Antisemitism ‘normalized’ at Canadian universities, government survey finds—professors blamed in 1 in 5 incidents

Antisemitism ‘normalized’ at Canadian universities, government survey finds—professors blamed in 1 in 5 incidents

A national survey of Jewish post-secondary students has found that antisemitism at Canadian universities is not an isolated problem but a pervasive feature of campus life, with the overwhelming majority reporting they have experienced or witnessed it in the past year.

The Campus Antisemitism and Student Experiences (CASE) report, commissioned by the federal government and produced by the Association for Canadian Studies and the Metropolis Institute, surveyed roughly 900 Jewish postsecondary students. It found that 95.7 percent had experienced or witnessed at least one antisemitic incident in the previous year, and that 84 percent said antisemitism is now a serious problem on their campus.


Fish rot from the head down. This is the antisemitism of the elite in academia and government. (Alternate link)

Is ‘Communist’ No Longer a Slur?

Is ‘Communist’ No Longer a Slur?

It is not difficult, these days, to see the neo-communist flipside of “Democratic Socialists” — once they find power.

Indeed, the more the ossified Democratic Party claims that its growing cadre of socialist renegades are not really socialists, the more they act like — and even appear comfortable being called — communists.

With every new policy they propose, the socialists have been dropping the pretense that they are not Marxists.

Toronto Catholic school trustee found guilty of rejecting perverse views by Ontario College of Teachers & Groomers

…The finding of misconduct concerned a November 2019 board meeting, where Del Grande opposed a motion to add “gender identity, gender expression, family status and marital status” to the board’s Code of Conduct as protected categories. Del Grande suggested that if those terms were included, the board should also consider protecting “transvestite, bestiality, pedophilia, gerontophilia and paraphilia,” among others.

Cambridge academics reject university’s attempt to end row over Jason Arday

Cambridge academics reject university’s attempt to end row over Jason Arday

The University of Cambridge has announced a review into the way it vets and hires senior academic staff in an effort to fend off external and internal criticism of its appointment of Jason Arday as a professor.

But a group of Cambridge academics quickly rejected the university’s response, saying: “We strongly believe that a thorough and transparent investigation into the wider circumstances of this damaging episode is essential.”

Arday resigned earlier this week after mounting scepticism over his personal and professional claims, three-and-a-half years after he was acclaimed as Cambridge’s youngest black professor with a life story of educational disadvantage, including being unable to speak until the age of 11.

Doug Ford’s ‘secret weapon’ is failing him. Now his Tories are in trouble

Doug Ford’s ‘secret weapon’ is failing him. Now his Tories are in trouble

Doug Ford needed a good summer. He isn’t getting one. And it could end up being a big deal for his government.

Ford has always been a bizarre politician to watch. You will never hear me count him out. Ontario’s premier has made a habit of surviving things that would be unsurvivable for most politicians. Many have written Ford off as political roadkill, only for him to come roaring back and win another majority government. I take his political skill seriously, as should his opponents.

Canadian Grandmother Was Euthanized Without Her Consent

An 83-year-old Canadian grandmother was euthanized under the country’s Medical Assistance in Dying program on July 10, 2026, despite having previously declined it because of her Christian faith and without providing what her family describes as a final verbal confirmation of consent.

Brigitte Stegemann, known lovingly to her family as “GG,” died by lethal injection at The Pearl (formerly E.J. McQuigge Lodge), a long-term care facility in Belleville, Ontario, where she had lived for the previous two years.

Is Trump Covering for Xi as China Supplies Weapons to Iran?

Is Trump Covering for Xi as China Supplies Weapons to Iran?

“I am confident that within the Chinese system, if there are private sector actors, and we gave the Chinese the name of the company we believed may be dealing with the Iranians, that I am confident the Chinese leadership will make sure that private sector actors do not transact in those kind of weapons,” Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent told Edward Lawrence of Fox Business on July 30.

Bessent was reacting to a July 28 Reuters report that a “Chinese supplier,” acting through a Hong Kong intermediary, was planning to sell Iran up to 400 shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles, commonly known as MANPADs (man-portable air-defense systems).

GUNTER: New groceries benefit can drive up prices for consumers

GUNTER: New groceries benefit can drive up prices for consumers

Last January, the federal government introduced the Canadian Groceries and Essentials Benefit. It replaced the GST/HST benefit for an estimated 12 million lower-income Canadians. The Carney government also raised the payments by 25 per cent.

Of course, it hasn’t lowered the cost of groceries. At most, it has given low-income consumers more money to buy groceries. That’s not the same thing and Canadians know it.

Elitist Media to MAGA: We Are Scared of You Flag-Waving, Crazy Christian Nazis

The elitist media and crazed celebrities spewed vile venom against their fellow Americans all this past month.

The View’s Sunny Hostin kicked off the hatefest when she admitted her flag-waving neighbors scare her: “I see American flags all over the community, and I suddenly feel unsafe.”

Former CNN anchor raged against MAGA, calling it the “modern version of the Nazi Party.” His one-time CNN colleague Jim Acosta claimed that the “sadistic” Donald Trump wanted to put “reporters in jail.”

Rising cost of low-end rental units driving increase in homelessness, report shows

Rising cost of low-end rental units driving increase in homelessness, report shows

Homelessness is growing the fastest in Canadian communities where rental prices have spiked and vacancy rates have tightened for low-cost rental units, according to a first-of-its-kind national analysis.

The Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, in a study to be published Thursday, proved a clear relationship between regional rates of homelessness and housing affordability. It helps explain why homelessness has surged in Canada since 2018 and why certain communities have seen a sharper increase than others.
