Eric Kaufmann: It costs Canada millions to discriminate against white male academics

Eric Kaufmann: It costs Canada millions to discriminate against white male academics

The case of Jason Arday shows that when a system of prestige institutions drops its standards on the basis of identity characteristics, the effects can be tragic. Cambridge University claims that Arday is an exception , but the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s new report, “ The Equity-Excellence Tradeoff: a Study of EDI in the Canada Research Chairs Program ,” suggests that he is the rule: equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) hiring damages academic excellence at scale. Nowhere is this more evident than in the prestigious Canada Research Chairs program.

Ceuta: Spanish Police Dismantle Government Narrative, Point to Moroccan Agents

Ceuta: Spanish Police Dismantle Government Narrative, Point to Moroccan Agents

The official account of what happened in Ceuta on July 30th has just suffered its most serious blow from within the Spanish state itself.

confidential report prepared by the National Police’s Centre for Immigration and Borders (CENIF) maintains that the mass entry was not a spontaneous phenomenon caused simply by traffickers, social media, or a temporary failure of Morocco’s border-control apparatus, as the government and media outlets aligned with it have argued for the past month.

This marks the end of prayer rooms in colleges and universities.

This marks the end of prayer rooms in colleges and universities.

Prayer rooms in colleges, universities, and some workplaces will be closed starting Tuesday. Provisions of Quebec’s Act to strengthen secularism now require them to remove the religious materials they made available to users.

Ezekiel Montoya Desjardins, vice-president of external affairs for the Dawson Student Association, was sitting near the carpets that once adorned his college’s prayer room when Le Devoir called him. The student association at this English-language CEGEP in Montreal had managed the room before being forced to close it off.

“The law will always be stronger than us,” the young man says, defeated. He and his colleagues recently took it upon themselves to announce to the college’s religious student groups that the hall was closing due to Quebec’s Act to Strengthen Secularism. “We could see on their faces that they were looking at us, hoping we would find a solution,” he recounts. “But, honestly, the only solution we have right now is to make sure the government understands the consequences this has for the students.”

U.S. Officials: Chinese Shipping Giant Uses Cargo Ships to Spy on Military Communications

U.S. Officials: Chinese Shipping Giant Uses Cargo Ships to Spy on Military Communications

China’s state-owned shipping giant COSCO has secretly equipped commercial vessels with sophisticated technology to collect military communications near the United States and other countries, according to senior Trump administration officials.

Two U.S. officials told Reuters that COSCO has maintained a decades-long intelligence relationship with Beijing, allowing China to collect communications signals from ships and aircraft operating across North America, Europe and Asia.

The equipment aboard COSCO vessels consists of “sophisticated signals intelligence collection” systems rather than ordinary communications hardware, the officials said.

Canada gave contracts to Iran VP’s son while investigating role in regime missile program

Canada gave contracts to Iran VP’s son while investigating role in regime missile program

The Canadian government awarded millions worth of contracts to the son of Iran’s former vice-president, despite an ongoing investigation into allegations he helped the Islamic Republic evade sanctions and develop missile systems, documents obtained by Global News reveal.

Since founding two companies in Alberta, an Edmonton resident named “Sal Ghafouri” has received more than $2 million in federal and provincial contracts, including from the RCMP and Department of National Defence, public records show.


This shows you how rotten Canada is. The bastards in Ottawa keep letting Islamists in. It isn’t by accident.

Cuba Is Next

Cuba Is Next

When I was six years old in Cuba, our parents gave my younger brother George and me identical costumes. I remember being puzzled by this. I hadn’t asked for a new costume. My Superman one still fit me fine, and went with my attitude. And wearing the same costume as my kid brother was grounds for mockery in the neighborhood — a rich Havana suburb suitable for our mom’s Cuban royalty family, the Mestres. And this costume was drab — an olive shirt and pants, an ugly cap of the same color, and a stupid string black beard. I smelled a rat. And, boy, did history prove me right.

Justin Trudeau’s influence still felt in justice system

Justin Trudeau’s influence still felt in justice system

“Woke 1.0 was crazy,” according to Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As she lays the groundwork for a 2028 U.S. Presidential run, her first priority is to distance herself from that recent political era.

At its peak, the Left’s woke platform covered the waterfront, and included “defunding the police,” having “a real conversation about … prison abolition,” “decriminalizing [illegal] border crossings,” and adopting the term “menstruating person” instead of “woman.”

Did America Win the War on Terror?

Did America Win the War on Terror?

Anyone over 40 remembers the Global War on Terror. As announced by President George W. Bush, it was a multipronged effort on five continents to eradicate the networks that had inspired and supported the attacks of September 11, 2001, along with the jihadi Muslim extremist movement that had murdered not only nearly 3,000 people that day but thousands more around the world, including in Europe and Israel, over five decades.

By one (admittedly biased) estimate, calculated 20 years after the attacks, the war on terror had cost $8 trillion, including hundreds of billions spent to bring about regime change in Iraq and Afghanistan, where over 7,000 American military personnel lost their lives and 52,143 were maimed and injured.

Jamie Sarkonak: Judge had no business granting bail to alleged U.S. Consulate shooter

Jamie Sarkonak: Judge had no business granting bail to alleged U.S. Consulate shooter

We can’t know exactly why Ontario Superior Court Justice Heather McArthur decided on Thursday to uphold bail for a man accused of shooting up the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, but her reasons can’t make much sense. Perhaps she was compelled by some kind of sob story, or perhaps she convinced herself that whatever stern warning she gave against disobeying bail conditions would resonate with the alleged gun-for-hire. Who knows; that’s all covered by a publication ban.
