Canadian public opinion of the U.S. hits a new low after Donald Trump’s election

Canadian public sentiment towards the United States has plummeted to new depths, a new report suggests, revealing how decades of Canadian goodwill toward its southern neighbour have reversed mere months after President Donald Trump took office.

The survey, conducted by the Environics Institute for Survey Research, also found the vast majority of respondents were strongly opposed to Canada becoming the 51st state.

“It’s really the worst collective opinions of the U.S. that we have recorded” in the more than 40 years the institute has been keeping track, said Keith Neuman, a senior associate at the Environics Institute for Survey Research. “By more than a two-to-one margin, Canadians’ opinions are negative rather than positive.”

Quebec Court Says Laws Restricting Children to 2 Parents Must be Changed

A Superior Court judge has ruled that children in Quebec can have more than two parents and ordered the province to revise its laws within 12 months to legally acknowledge other family dynamics.

The issue was brought forward by La Coalition des familles LGBT+ and three separate “multi-parent families” who say laws in the province that restrict parenthood of a child to two individuals discriminates and infringes on the rights of security of the person, integrity of the person, freedom, dignity, and privacy.

Christiane Amanpour – self important idiot

CHARLEBOIS: Where’s the beef? Priced out of the Canadian grill

With summer weather finally settling in, Canadians are returning to a familiar ritual — firing up the barbecue. But as they approach the meat counter in search of steaks and burgers, many are encountering a far less familiar reality: Shockingly high prices. This year, the meat aisle has become a case study in supply-side economics and market dysfunction.

Since January, according to Statistics Canada, beef prices have surged at an alarming pace. Striploin is up 34.2%, top sirloin 33.7%, and rib cuts nearly 12%. Pork rib cuts and chicken breasts have each risen 5.9%, and even meatless burger patties are 6.8% more expensive. While all proteins in the so-called “meat trifecta” have climbed, beef leads the charge — by a wide margin.

How bitter Trump-Musk feud escalated – and what happens next

What happens when the richest person and the most powerful politician have a knock-down, drag-out fight?

The world is finding out – and it’s not a pretty picture. Donald Trump and Elon Musk have two of the biggest megaphones, and they have now turned them on each other, as a disagreement has ballooned into a war of words.

Trump has threatened Musk’s voluminous business dealings with the federal government, which form the lifeblood of his SpaceX programme.


I am sorry and annoyed this happened. It’s an unneeded distraction that plays into Democrat hands.

Isn’t Popeyes Halal? … ‘Unsafe’: Popeyes accused of storing chicken in residential garages in Ontario

A lawsuit filed against Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is accusing the fried chicken chain of buying “unsafe” meat from an unauthorized seller that was allegedly storing and packaging raw chicken in residential garages in Ontario.

The lawsuit was filed at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 26 by ADP, a former raw chicken supplier to Popeyes. The company alleges they lost their contract with Popeyes after bringing forward its concerns about the “unsafe supply” of products.


I find it very interesting that the company accused of supplying the Garage Chicken is not not named in the article. Popeyes is Halal.

Hate Crime: Leaked docs show Ontario school staff are being trained to believe the term ‘family’ is rooted in white supremacy

Now showing more anti white bullshit

The Waterloo Regional District School Board (WRDSB) has apparently approved training material for staff that alleges the term “family” is racist.

According to internal documents published June 4 by independent media outlet Juno News, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation is telling staff at the Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School that the term “family” is rooted in white supremacy.


Can you imagine the outrage in our media if this slur were leveled against Muslims or Jews?

I hope parents launch a hate crime complaint.

Randall Denley: Ontario is finally forcing out DEI from schools and universities

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has done something truly conservative. His government’s proposed rule changes for colleges, universities and school boards are aimed squarely at shifting power away from the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) crowd and weakening their control over education.

It’s welcome news for anyone who thinks that public education should be about learning and diversity of ideas, not a playground for political activists.

I hope he’s right.
