WTF?
The ‘Very Fine People’ Were Paid
My second book, , was not only a smash hit of political satire, but I spent a great deal of time trolling “the very fine people” hoax and mocking how the left used it as a decade-long lie that acted as the foundation of the “Trump is a racist” narrative.
I have done hundreds of interviews mocking the “very fine people” hoax, and had no idea that my jokes about the fraud would become real life.
WTF?
The Jamaican immigrants to Canada are also calling for the boycott of Tim Hortons, calling them out for poor service and unfair hiring practices.
My favourite part of this video is where he refers to the Indians who are overtaking all of our fast food places as "the mafia"! 😭… https://t.co/lYdt3p79LH pic.twitter.com/KeYZygLD43

Douglas Todd: What’s behind Canada’s doctor shortage? One factor rarely gets discussed
Canada’s family doctor shortage: The public, and politicians, worry about it a lot.
Most everyone believes it’s a crisis that almost six million Canadians are without a family doctor, and waiting times are lengthening.
The solutions trotted out most frequently involve governments paying to expand medical schools to train more physicians, or luring more doctors to Canada from other countries.
GLP-1s May Become the Next Big Treatment for Problem Drinkers
Having gone from diabetes treatment to weight-loss miracle, GLP-1s are already blockbuster drugs. Now a new study in The Lancet shows that GLP-1s help with another common lifestyle disease: alcohol-use disorder.
It’s tempting to claim that we finally have an effective treatment for alcoholism. But in fact, we already have one. The decades-old Sinclair Method—which involves regularly taking a prescription drug before drinking to block pleasure-inducing endorphins, thus retraining the brain—is reasonably effective but seldom used.
Toronto World Cup tickets listed for $64,000 despite Ontario’s new anti-scalping law
Hundreds of tickets for Canada’s June 12 World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina are still up for sale at online reselling sites for more than ten times their original asking price — despite Ontario’s new anti-scalping law.
New amendments to the Ticket Sales Act make it illegal to resell tickets to any event in Ontario, including six Toronto games which are part of soccer’s global showcase, for more than their face value.
Sweden Drops ‘Islamophobia’, Votes for Free Speech
Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard recently announced that the Swedish government would be dropping not just the word but the entire concept of “Islamophobia,” out of a preference for freedom of speech.
“We are pushing for the term ‘Islamophobia’ to be replaced with what is called ‘anti-Muslim racism’ or ‘anti-Muslim hatred’ in English,” Stenergard said in response to a question from the Sweden Democrats party. Charges of “racist” or “Islamophobe” are being used worldwide to shut down anyone who questions or criticizes Islam or Islamist doctrines.
Sweden’s decision is long overdue.
‘It has been devastating,’ U.S. spirits group says about Canadian alcohol boycotts
Whether at the grocery store or the NSLC, Martha Reynolds pays attention to where products are from.
“I’m doing my very best to not buy American,” she said outside a Halifax location of the province’s Crown-run alcohol retailer.
For alcohol, this means bourbon purchases have been replaced with scotch whisky, but she’s made other changes as well.
NY Times Concerned Abortionists Can’t Kill Babies Safely
The New York Times believes they really scored an “own” against the right by taunting Republicans with the idea they might lose elections if they continue trying to outlaw the murder of pre-born babies.
Bryan Brulotte: Europe wants our energy. Ottawa must act now
In a 2022 news conference, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there wasn’t a clear business case for building liquified natural gas (LNG) terminals to export to Europe. This past week, Mark Carney suggested in a media interview that the first thing European authorities are interested in when they sit down with Canada is not our energy. He went on to say that energy is something Canada raises as being part of the solution in respect to nuclear and LNG.
Carney will talk big but nothing will get done.

Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net‑Zero Pretense
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called the nuclear phaseout a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas.

US in closely guarded talks to open new bases in Greenland
The US has been holding regular negotiations with Denmark to expand its military presence in Greenland, according to multiple officials familiar with the discussions, with talks between both sides progressing in recent months.
US officials are seeking to open three new bases in the south of the territory, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark, as they work to resolve a diplomatic crisis sparked by President Donald Trump when he threatened to seize Greenland by force.
Trump said in January that the US should “own” Greenland to prevent Russia or China from taking it. He said this could happen the “easy way ” or “the hard way”.
