The CBC published an article about the online harassment of female journalists – but, rather predictably, made the story exclusively about @atRachelGilmore. It's essentially written as a puff piece promoting her career. If they actually cared about this issue, they would've also interviewed @CarymaRules, who, unlike Gilmore, has actually been repeatedly assaulted for her work. They didn't do that, though, because it would've required them to acknowledge leftist political violence, something which the public broadcaster is hesitant to do because its "journalism" is, in practice, often just progressive activism.

Blacklock’s takes $0 in government money. The same government that has been fighting them in court for years over their paywall. Last month, Blacklock’s won their appeal against the federal government. Yesterday the same government appointed Giuseppina D’Agostino to the Federal Court. The same D’Agostino who publicly argued that paying Blacklock’s was “conceding to a bully.” The same court that will hear future cases involving Blacklock’s. Outlets that takes government millions NEVER gets sued. The outlet that takes $0 has to fight Liberala in court so the government pays their fair share in subscription fees to keep updated on their own failures. Then the government appoints the Blacklock’s critic to the bench? Don’t you see what they’re doing?

I’ll have some exciting news to share this week. As many of you now know, after 25 years of writing for La Presse—entirely on a volunteer basis—the newspaper decided to “pause” our relationship last month following comments I made about how government tax credits may be fostering editorial bias in parts of the media landscape, often favouring the governing Liberals. Just agreed to write for a new outlet, with my first piece coming out this Wednesday. More details to come—stay tuned.

I used to believe that there was some fixed sum of money that would "end" homelessness. After untold fortunes have been thrown at the problem, only for it to become worse in every way, I'm no longer patient with those who still hold this view.

“He has already shown his bias. Any decision against the convoy poisons the integrity of the Court if he remains present. But Richard - the man with the bust of himself in our Court - doesn’t imagine himself under the law he imposes on others. He hasn’t completed any graduate work in law or published any academic work in law, philosophy or jurisprudence so it’s hard to know how he justifies himself in these matters. “

Allow me to rock your world. America has about 6000 hospitals. 5121 of those are publicly accessible and 1224 are completely free. That's twice as many charity hospitals as Canada has Tim Horton's. Literally. Then, when you see a doctor, the doctor speaks English and went to school somewhere you've heard of. Harvard is not the only way to get educated, but it is nice in the fall. We don't push people into medically assisted suicide for cost reasons. We don't ask people with emergency conditions to sit in the ER for 10 hours before they see a doctor. So yes, if you have a cutting-edge disease and you go to a private hospital and get the best care in the world, you're on the hook for it. But note that you are also ALIVE.

Canada’s Chief Justice Richard Wagner has installed a lifelike bronze bust of himself in our highest court. It should be called ‘Narcissus Canadiannus” - There is no precedent for something this vulgar in the history of the Court. It should be taken down. Richard fancies himself. - Richard also fancies his own opinion on things. He violated legal due process and the Courts reputation by publicly accusing the Convoy - who protested backwards federal Covid policies that were soon dropped of ‘anarchy’ and ‘hostage taking’. Now that the Convoys freedom of speech, assembly and due process rights have been asserted by lower courts the Supreme Court has to consider the appeal of the federal govt and weigh the rights of citizens against the decision of the federal government to impose the Emergencies Act to suspend those rights. Wagners lack of judicial discretion in the first instance makes his recusal from such an important rights-defining case important because it signals not just fairness in the content of the decision but in the way the decision gets reached by the highest Court. He has already shown his bias. Any decision against the convoy poisons the integrity of the Court if he remains present. But Richard - the man with the bust of himself in our Court - doesn’t imagine himself under the law he imposes on others. He hasn’t completed any graduate work in law or published any academic work in law, philosophy or jurisprudence so it’s hard to know how he justifies himself in these matters. Ironically, he has a reputation for warning others - including those far more qualified in formal jurisprudence than he is - not to critique Canadian judges like himself or their (increasingly bizarre and politicized) decisions. But, from the Magna Carta onwards, Richard should know that in law as in politics dissent is democracy. The dissent of the Convoy and the growing critique of Richards own bizarre behaviour and inability to articulate a judicial philosophy is exactly what’s needed to save Canada - and the Court’s reputation as a place where justice - not the ego of the Justices - is at stake. Richard should recuse himself. And remove that vulgar bust from the Supreme Court. #SCC #RuleOfLaw

C.J. Wagner has done more damage to the integrity of the SCC than any other judge in its history. He turned a blind eye to a gift of his bust; made political comments to the media; refused to recuse on Convoy matters; disclosed his colleagues’ C19 💉status. Confidence is lost.

“The principal then took it upon herself to report the family to the Ministry of Children and Family Development, which sent staff to interview the two children still living at home”—all because the mother booed a land acknowledgement before a school play. nationalpost.com/opinion/michae…

This is the @SecheltBC principal who reported Lara Yates’ family to the Ministry of Children and Family Development—which interviewed her two children still living at home after she jeered a land acknowledgement before a school play.

Remember those people who just wanted to be left alone? Yeah, well, you should have left them alone. Because that is no longer what they want.

In Canada, people can be fined for cutting down trees on their own property. Law abiding citizens are being fined three times the annual income of the average Canadian family while rapists and murderers are left to roam free. Canada is a failed state.

Chief Justice Richard Wagner has refused to recuse himself from an Emergencies Act invocation case, despite previously making public comments about the situation. Canadians remember that TWO courts have already found the government’s use of the Emergencies Act to be unjustified and unconstitutional. When a judge has publicly weighed in against a case, reasonable Canadians will ask if this decision is truly impartial. Conservatives will continue to stand up for accountability and defend Canadians’ civil liberties because no government is above the law.

A nurse with a spotless track record gets fined and suspended for pointing out there are two genders, and for praising world renowned author & women's rights advocate @jk_rowling. This is authoritarian censorship. We must restore free speech and free thinking in a free country.

@lesliechurch Apparently you can just lie on here and nobody does anything.

The deficit is coming down 📉 Home prices and rents are coming down 📉 The GDP is going up 📈 Non-U.S. exports are going up 📈 Why? Because our plan is starting to pay off. We are empowering workers, we are investing in Canada and we are Building 🇨🇦 Strong.

There is considerable hand wringing in Canadian establishment circles about the loss of faith in institutions. This is usually attributed to some vague mythical populist campaign against these institutions. The truth is that the institutions are doing it to themselves.

Gen X appears to be Canada’s least retarded demographic.
