Human rights museum readies opening of Palestinian exhibit amid criticism

WINNIPEG — The Canadian Museum for Human Rights says an exhibit about displaced Palestinians is to go ahead as planned, despite criticism that it’s a potentially one-sided story.

The exhibit, opening June 27, focuses on people affected by the Nakba, Arabic for catastrophe, when about 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced in 1948 during fighting over control of what is now Israel.

My Nazi lover: Inside the SPLC’s anti-hate racket

My Nazi lover: Inside the SPLC’s anti-hate racket

As if the Southern Poverty Law Center wasn’t already looking like a menace instead of a respected civil-rights outfit, now comes evidence that one of its top execs was sending donor cash to the white supremacist she was shacked up with.

To be fair, it’s long been obvious that the SPLC is a racket exploiting liberals (especially in the media) desperate for right-wing threats to condemn; the nonprofit raked in billions over the decades to support its (shoddy) research, including a “hate map” and database on supposed hate groups.


The SPLC’s new head honcho is big big big on “reparations”.

Networks Skip Foiled UFC Drone Terrorist Being an Illegal Immigrant

Networks Skip Foiled UFC Drone Terrorist Being an Illegal Immigrant

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement that claimed the alleged ringleader of the foiled terrorist attack on the UFC fight at the White House the previous Sunday is an illegal immigrant. Since then, ABC’s Good Morning America and World News Tonight, NBC’s Nightly News and Today, and CBS’s Evening News and CBS Mornings have not disclosed this new information to the viewers of their morning and evening newscasts. By contrast, the networks have continued to obsess over the latest setbacks in President Trump’s efforts to renovate the reflecting pool on the National Mall by spending 13 minutes and 18 seconds on the subject.

Inside how a botched, GFL-linked shooting may have helped police unravel a Toronto gun-for-hire network

Around 5 a.m. on a Sunday morning in March, a gunman got out of a car on a quiet street near the waterfront in Oakville. Almost immediately, he opened fire.

An accomplice stood beside him, apparently filming the attack on a phone as the gunman shot at a stone house with a double-car garage, according to neighbours who later watched the incident unfold on their security footage.

Suddenly there was a flash from across the street. Someone was firing at the pair. They scattered.

LILLEY: Don’t cry for CBC as they drop ‘Hockey Night in Canada’

LILLEY: Don’t cry for CBC as they drop ‘Hockey Night in Canada’

If you were to listen to Liberal MPs, and to CBC, Canadians just won’t be able to watch hockey come the new NHL season. In reality, hockey is just returning to being broadcast solely on the private sector stations that initially aired the games before CBC stole it all.

As of this fall, if you want to watch most NHL games in Canada, you will need to subscribe to cable or directly to Sportsnet, owned by Rogers.


I’m no fan of today’s CBC but back when I followed hockey HNIC was a regular part of my life.

There’s room for nostalgia of the CBC that used to be.

Judge Rules Biden Must Release Ghostwriter Recordings to Conservative Group

Judge Rules Biden Must Release Ghostwriter Recordings to Conservative Group

A federal judge has ruled that redacted recordings of President Biden’s conversations with his ghostwriter must be released to the conservative Heritage Foundation, dealing a blow to Mr. Biden’s efforts to keep the materials private.U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, who was nominated by President Trump in 2017, found on Friday that the public interest in the material outweighed Mr. Biden’s privacy concerns. The ruling followed a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the Heritage Foundation seeking records from an investigation by a former special counsel, Robert Hur, into Mr. Biden’s handling of classified materials after his time as vice president.

Motor Mouth: What the hell is Melanie Joly doing?

According to Wiktionary, a “mixed message” is “communication that contains contradictory, inconsistent, or unclear information, making it difficult for the receiver to understand the sender’s true intent, thoughts, or feelings.” If that be so, then Mark Carney’s recent “hot mic” moment at this week’s G7 summit and Melanie Joly’s (almost) simultaneous announcement she was heading to China to drum up some auto business might be the very definition of getting your wires crossed.

Comparison to Hitler, Mao, Stalin? Trump says: ‘Sounds good to me!’

Comparison to Hitler, Mao, Stalin? Trump says: ‘Sounds good to me!’

Donald Trump has enthusiastically agreed with a public assessment by a man he met while golfing that the “overwhelming difference” between the current US president and historical figures who incited fear – such as Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao and Hitler – is that Trump is more powerful.

The US president reposted a short text in the early hours of Friday morning, in which the author writes:

“Historically, powerful people were characterised by brutal conquest and the fear that they instilled in the populations that came under their influence. Common names that would come to mind are Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hunt, Tamburlaine, Napoleon and, more recently, Hitler, Mao, and Stalin.

Premier Doug Ford drowned out by chanting, booing mob of usual suspects bussed into Ford Fest

Remarks by Premier Doug Ford at his annual summer bash, Ford Fest, were drowned out Friday evening by an eruption of booing, blowing whistles and chanting from protesters making plain their grievances over a host of issues.

People dressed in purple OPSEU shirts, bearing the slogan “Worth Fighting For” which was also their chant, were peppered among a sea of Ford Nation supporters in the half-hour leading up to the premier’s appearance that the master of ceremonies kept referring to as “the big event” throughout the evening at Thomson Memorial Park in Scarborough.
