GUNTER: Worried as Carney’s Canada gets closer to China

GUNTER: Worried as Carney’s Canada gets closer to China

Since February, there have been two significant reports documenting the extent to which Chinese Community Party (CCP) agents have infiltrated Canadian institutions and community organizations in an effort to woo or strong-arm Chinese Canadians into helping spread Chinese government policies and goals.

The most disturbing aspect of both reports is the willingness of Canada’s Liberal government to turn a blind eye to this level of infiltration and the effects it has on Canadian elections and democratic institutions.

In defense of white flight

In defense of white flight

The term “white flight” has a strong negative connotation in polite society. It is a term often used to tar the motives of my father’s generation who, after returning from service in WWII, chose to live in the suburbs rather than return to the confines of the cities in which they had grown up. Their motives were many; however, as white flight continued throughout the ‘50s and ‘60s, there is no question that it was driven by the knowledge that city neighborhoods that were formerly inhabitable were falling into disarray with the influx of blacks that had moved there. To say otherwise, flies in the face of what was observed at the time and exists today in tangible form in cities like Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Newark, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, to name a few.

Canadian Millennials living with parents into adulthood double the rate of Boomers at same age

Canadian Millennials living with parents into adulthood double the rate of Boomers at same age

A new Statistics Canada study has confirmed what housing researchers and young Canadians have argued for years: the generational ladder to homeownership has not just gotten harder to climb for many Millennials, but for an increasing number, it has been pulled up entirely.

Released last week, the study draws on Census of Population data from 1991, 2006, and 2021 to compare how Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials each fared in the housing market between ages 25 and 39. The study found Millennials more likely to live with parents, less likely to own, and, when they do own, far less likely to own the kind of home previous generations took for granted.

Can European democracy be bought? Ask the rich men of Qatar

Can European democracy be bought? Ask the rich men of Qatar

Shame, not guilt, is the currency of scandal. In 2022, on anti-corruption day no less, Belgian police uncovered €1.5m of cash crammed into the suitcases of various senior EU officials. The money was thought to be payment for various political favours. The case is still sub-judice, but the accusation is that, for a rather venal sum, European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili and Pier Antonio Panzeri may have closed down a debate about Qatar’s Human Rights record.

85-year-old Hockey Scout Is Pilloried for Calling a Reporter “good-looking”

85-year-old Hockey Scout Is Pilloried for Calling a Reporter “good-looking”

The story is now a common one: an older man disgraced and punished for a “sexist” offence. In an instant, his reputation is shattered. Previously respected in his work, he becomes a target of contempt and hatred. Few defend him in his hour of need, and abundant sympathy is expressed for his alleged victim(s), whose harms are often imaginary.

The Heresy of Sex Differences

The Heresy of Sex Differences

The controversy surrounding the nomination of E. J. Antoni to head the US Bureau of Labor Statistics briefly brought public attention to a topic that is usually confined to academic psychology. During discussions with interns at the Heritage Foundation, Antoni reportedly stated that men and women differ in intelligence distributions and that males are more likely to appear at the extremes, including very high IQ levels. The comments triggered criticism and media attention, and the nomination was eventually withdrawn. This was not the first time such ideas had cost someone a prestigious position. Larry Summers was similarly pushed out of Harvard after suggesting that inherent differences in ability between the sexes could account for why men tend to dominate at the top end of STEM performance.

Dwight Newman: Judge far too quick to toss out separation petition with 300K signatures

Dwight Newman: Judge far too quick to toss out separation petition with 300K signatures

On Wednesday, in its Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation v Alberta decision, the Alberta Court of King’s Bench quashed the province’s secession referendum process. In particular, the judge quashed the chief electoral officer’s decision to allow signatures to be gathered to call for a referendum. Whatever your view on Alberta secession, the decision warrants attention for the readiness of the judge to prohibit a democratic process based on Indigenous rights claims.

Canada’s not ready for the next viral outbreak. We didn’t even bother with an inquiry on the last one

Various experts have been assuring the public over the past several weeks that the risk of a major hantavirus outbreak is low.

This is a known virus, they say, unlike the novel coronavirus first observed in 2019.

It doesn’t pose pandemic potential, they say, because this Andes variant requires prolonged close contact to be transmitted from human to human.

Met Police Faces Two-Tier Row Over Facial Recognition at Robinson Rally

Met Police Faces Two-Tier Row Over Facial Recognition at Robinson Rally

London is preparing for one of the largest and most complex policing operations in recent years as tens of thousands are expected to attend two major demonstrations taking place on the same day in the capital.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that live facial recognition (LFR) technology will be deployed at a rally organised by Tommy Robinson, but not at a nearby pro-Palestinian march marking Nakba Day, which commemorates Palestinian displacement and loss during the creation of Israel and the Arab-Israeli war in 1948. The decision has prompted criticism and fuelled claims of “two-tier policing” from political figures and commentators.

Liberal party under fire as more questions raised about Nate Erskine-Smith’s nomination fight

Liberal party under fire as more questions raised about Nate Erskine-Smith’s nomination fight

Nate Erskine-Smith’s appeal of a weekend nomination in Scarborough Southwest has sparked mockery of the Liberals just as the beleaguered party has been enjoying an uptick in the polls.

It has also fuelled questions as to why the Beaches—East York Liberal MP — whose own 2014 federal nomination win was challenged — and his team didn’t publicly raise concerns during the meeting Saturday.

Stung after narrowly losing to Ahsanul Hafiz, owner of 30 Domino’s Pizza franchises, Erskine-Smith alleged “serious irregularities” in the balloting, such as voters using “Amazon orders” and refugee claimant papers as identification.

This is just business as usual for the Liberals.

Xi confronts Trump over Taiwan

Xi confronts Trump over Taiwan

China could go to war with the United States over Taiwan, Xi Jinping warned in a tense start to Donald Trump’s state visit.

The Chinese president said the disputed territory was the “most important issue in China-US relations” in comments released by state media on Thursday.

“If it is handled well, bilateral relations can remain generally stable. If it is not handled properly, the two countries could collide or even come into conflict,” he said. That would be “very dangerous”.
