When Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain complains about an opponent believing ‘free speech means protecting the right to offend Muslims’, you feel an instinctive response gathering in your throat. You’re damn right it does. It means the right to burn the Qur’an, mock the Hadith and doodle cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed performing in a rainbow-flag hijab on RuPaul’s Drag Race. In a liberal society, people should be free to blaspheme against any and all religions, even pretendy ones like Anglicanism.

When the federal government spends your money — and it is most definitely your money — one of the ways it is held accountable is by presenting an annual budget.
The budget, among other things, details how the government spent your money, how much more of your money it will need in the future, the profligate and useful ways in which your money was spent, and — especially in the Liberals’ case — how much debt the government needs to rack up to pay for its excessive spending.

In Toronto, Jews and Jewish-owned businesses are being systematically smoked out – but this time something has been done about it.
After a pregnant woman was forced from an outdoor patio because of red smoke billowing in from a protest, Toronto Police indicated enough is enough.

The release of a new book by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, detailing President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline during his term in office, has landed like a bomb inside an already disoriented Democratic Party — sending shockwaves through its ranks.
Obtained by Newsweek ahead of its publication on May 20, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again paints a stark portrait of a presidency in turmoil—and of a leader whose public image of control and clarity masked private struggles with memory, stamina and recognition.
Worse than imagined.

A new book reveals the bad science and corrupt leadership behind America’s disastrous pandemic school closures.
In the early spring of 2020, freelance writer David Zweig was, like most suburban dads, willing to follow the advice of experts. “People were dying from a scary new disease, and my family and my neighbors were readily compliant with the governor’s orders to stay home and stay apart from each other,” he writes in his new book, An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions. As a member of the “laptop class,” and living in a charming Hudson Valley village, Zweig knew that he and his family were among the luckiest cohort of Americans when it came to weathering the Covid-19 pandemic.
The woman at the centre of the sexual assault trial for five former players with Canada’s world junior hockey team finished a marathon nine days of testimony this week in London, Ont. — before a sudden turn in the proceedings.
The accused men are Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod, who’ve all pleaded not guilty. E.M., whose identity is protected under a standard publication ban, gave her account of the alleged assaults and answered hundreds of questions from the men’s lawyers.
As the United States continues negotiations with Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons, if it does not already have them, it has become clear that the Islamic Republic’s regime is not pursuing these talks in good faith.
Far from viewing negotiations as a means toward a peaceful resolution, the Iranian regime appears to see them as a tool that has proven successful before, not only for itself but also for its authoritarian ally, North Korea.
Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Canada’s food industry is now facing fewer counter-tariffs when importing products from the United States, except for orange juice, coffee and alcohol. For many, this came as a surprise. According to the federal government’s own records, on April 16 — in the middle of the election campaign — Mark Carney, not yet elected, opted to eliminate most of the retaliatory tariffs imposed by his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.
Former FBI Director James Comey posted a photo of a “cool shell formation” from his beach walk today. In the photo, shells were laid out to read “86 47” on the sand.
Eighty-six, a well-known term by Americans to mean “to get rid of,” indicates intent to the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump.

OTTAWA – At the beginning of the year, CBC was facing the very real prospect of being defunded by a Conservative government.
But after the political winds shifted in favour of Mark Carney’s Liberals, the public broadcaster was granted a reprieve — giving the minority Liberal government what could be a short runway to implement its proposed changes.
“I do think that the Carney victory has secured the future of the CBC for now, at least as long as they’re in power,” said Jessica Johnson, a senior fellow at McGill University’s Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy.
What happens next? The Liberal party will continue to fund the CBC’s propaganda.
The Trump administration is reportedly considering a plan to move one million Palestinians from Gaza — roughly half the current population — to Libya and resettle them there.
Poor Libya!
As Canada Post and the union representing its workers inch closer to another potential strike, a report by the commission charged with examining the Crown corporation’s finances has called for the end of door-to-door mail delivery to homes — one of the main reasons for the previous work stoppage in November.
But the report, authored by industrial inquiry commissioner William Kaplan, also says that daily delivery to businesses should be maintained.
The service cut would help the corporation’s overall bleak financial picture, the report notes, a situation it highlights in great detail.
