Tim Hortons defends hiring practices, says Canadian stores are ‘always hiring locally’

Stop Destroying Civilization!

Stop Destroying Civilization!

In the #MeToo years, the Left’s signature slogan was “Believe all women!”

That directive was used to bolster Christine Blasey Ford’s preposterous and easily refuted 2018 allegations that some 35 years earlier she had been sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, when both were teenagers.

Seniors are the largest, fastest-growing homeless population in Canada. It’s a collective shame upon our country

Seniors are the largest, fastest-growing homeless population in Canada. It’s a collective shame upon our country

The belief that mental illnesses are the main driver of rising homelessness is noticeably widespread, and is prompting governments across Canada to expand involuntary commitment as a purported “solution.”

This belief, though, is not promoted by experts on homelessness so much as by influential proponents of more funding for mental health services and involuntary commitment, such as the British Columbia Schizophrenia Society, and by governments themselves, dodging responsibility for failed economic policies. In fact, the belief is heavily based on misleading claims and dubious data. Worse, it’s hindering us from fully recognizing and discussing – let alone helping – the people who are actually the fastest-growing demographic of unhoused Canadians. And if we don’t start seeing more clearly and investing in real solutions, this latter group could soon overwhelm the country’s already stretched support systems.

Has anyone in “authority” mentioned Islamist terrorism?

Unhinged: Random Assaults on White People, Attacks on Austin Metcalf’s Family

Unhinged: Random Assaults on White People, Attacks on Austin Metcalf’s Family

I woke up this morning to see videos of what may be a social media trend: black people randomly going up to white people—they look to be homeless men—and assaulting them, claiming that they were on the Karmelo Anthony jury.

The videos are made by the people doing the hitting, and don’t even have to be in Texas, so it’s obviously just about using the Karmelo Anthony conviction as a hook to gain clout for striking white people.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s ‘welcome’ referee has terror ties, U.S. officials allege

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s ‘welcome’ referee has terror ties, U.S. officials allege

A soccer referee invited to work in Toronto at the World Cup by Mayor Olivia Chow was reportedly denied entry by American authorities due to “association with suspected members of terror organizations,” U.S. news outlets reported Wednesday.

He’s Somali and Toronto looks more like Mogadishu every day. It all makes sense in Chowtown.

St. Paul City Attorney Who Refused to Prosecute Church Protesters Sued Pastor They Targeted

Irene Kao, the St. Paul city attorney who refused to prosecute protesters who disrupted a church service to target a pastor for working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) failed to disclose that she was suing the pastor for the same reason.

On January 18 of this year, anti-ICE protesters barged into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, disrupting services with anti-ICE chants. A group of 30-40 agitators “intimidated, harassed, oppressed, and terrorized the parishioners,” according to an affidavit for criminal complaint by the U.S. Justice Department.
