@RichardHanania Do you really want to quibble with the "number" of girls and young women who were raped? What number of victims would cause you to become concerned about these assaults?

Amazing level of BS is behind the estimate of 250,000 white girls victimized by "Muslim rape gangs." What they did was: 1) Come up with a number for Telford, Oxford, and Rotherham, the center of the scandal 2) Extrapolate to the rest of the country Imagine if, to calculate murders in America, you looked at Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore and then assumed all of America has the same murder rate. But wait, there's more! Even the original numbers are nonsense. To get the original estimate for Oxford, they included all supposed victims of sexual exploitation or grooming, by Muslims or anyone else. This means that they assumed 100% of victims were white girls and 100% of the perpetrators were Muslims for all cases of sexual exploitation! The report also switches between saying there were 250,000 victims, and 250,000 instances of victimization, without any explanation why. For Telford, they went back 40 years, though I don't think that there were Muslim rape gangs in the 1980s. The Oxford number includes all instances of "grooming," whether or not they involved sexual contact at all, and not much is shared about the methodology. It is a complete guess. I often hear rightists say "the liberals lie so I don't believe anything." What conclusion are we supposed to draw from the fact that rightists are this indifferent to facts?

@JimMcMurtry01 Condolences on the loss of your father, Jim. For those of us of a certain age, he left an enduring legacy in the history of Canada.

After my father died I was quoted by CBC: “My father fought for rights and freedoms. I was the proudest son.” As he was chief justice of Ontario, I asked him about my case. He said my inquisitors “should get at the truth.” My employer, union & regulator can’t handle the truth.

@JohnStossel @elonmusk 💯

Congratulations @ElonMusk. Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire. He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth. He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world. Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

@hughhewitt @FoxNews Rahm Emanuel was ambassador to Japan, not China.

My new column for @FoxNews, on the opening of Campaign 2028: foxnews.com/opinion/mornin…

Sheesh, Marty, you really should be more careful with numbers. The GTA's pop. in 2025 was about 7.15 million; Alberta's about 5.0 million. Alberta's per capita GDP was $94,600, compared to the GTA's $73,000. And Canada's per capita GDP was even lower at about $60,000. Albertans generally don't mind contributing so much to Canada's overall prosperity and social well-being. But what we don't like is you and your friends blocking our economic development (resource development, pipelines) while you act morally superior and condescending.

@CoryBMorgan The Greater Toronto Area has a higher total economic output (GDP), generating roughly $522 billion, compared to the entire province of Alberta, which sits at around $473 billion. Who pays for what again?

Hey Canada! We need to talk.

@dowbboy Very good column. But it's also depressing that Canada's new media -- specifically, journalists -- have fallen so far. A formerly reputable and admired profession now is distrusted and disliked.

The FN Media Fiasco: Manufactured Truth Is No Truth At All Today’s media is ensnared in traps of its own making, accepting government funds while pontificating instead of reporting. If there’s a crisis of confidence in the nation blame much of the electronic and print media who eagerly regurgitated propaganda from the Trudeau and now Carney Liberals. Canadians fish from a single river of information and so think there’s just one fish you can catch. notthepublicbroadcaster.com/the-usual-susp…

@ProfMJCleveland That is hilarious! Thank you. 🫠

To test the zeitgeist of the Maine Senate race my son wore a "Graham Platner 2026" shirt today. He's been verbally abused twice, spit on and smacked with a shoe. Who knows what will happen when he finally leaves the house.

@HowardKurtz What Howie and other "journalists" don't get is that the general public doesn't trust you anymore. Over the last few decades people working in the news media have destroyed ... the news media.

Bari Weiss, with no TV experience, hires tech journalist with no experience to run "60." Staff revolts, Scott Pelley saying Weiss has murdered the show and new boss Nick Bilton minimally qualified. Wouldn't firing all-star Pelley look like retaliation? tinyurl.com/2x23tdsh

@DrJStrategy Albertan, here. Thank you.

Lyrics to Me and Bobby McGee by Kris Kristofferson ... Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

I hope history books will frame the “Mamdani thing” accurately. In 2020 the government absolutely gutted the middle class. I still wonder what kind of monsters says “there’s a virus coming, to be safe we should transfer all the wealth from the middle to the upper 20%”…kinda seems like the newly minted poor people may have an ax to grind with system…in Bobs words..”when you ain’t got nothing you got nothing to lose”…Mamdani basically said I’m gonna burn it all down and ny said “sign me up”…

@ClarkeMicah @gigawigga Don't forget the Boer War (gatling gun, etc.)

.@gigawigga. Bilge. The savage and costly nature of modern warfare was well known, long before 1914, from the experience of the American Civil War and of the Russo-Japanese War.

@btaplatt Whoa ... didn't a former Liberal prime minister emphatically declare there was "NO BUSINESS CASE" for Canada to export natural gas to Europe? What's changed?

Big news: Canada and Germany are announcing an LNG supply deal tomorrow, with gas sourced from the proposed Ksi Lisims export terminal on BC's north coast. The move comes as both Canada and Europe try to reduce economic reliance on the US bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@MinerDeck Sorry, I'm old (with old eyes) and missed the tiny < sign. Now I'm having trouble believing a new mine in central B.C. can be described as a major producer. 🤔

@TedFran03073128 Exactly. So <5 bn MC falls in the bucket of the mid-tiers, which makes Artemis fall into the bucket of the majors.

Gold production Q1 — Mid-tiers

@MinerDeck By my calculations Artemis Gold at this moment has a market cap of US$5.5 billion. Not trying to pick a fight just genuinely interested in your data.

@TedFran03073128 You can always check the footers of my graphics for full definition of things. I separate out the mid-tiers from majors on the basis of market cap. This quarter 5bn USD is the demarcation line.

@MinerDeck Your list of mid-tier producers in Q1 ranges from a low of 40,700 ounces to a high of 108,000 ounces. Artemis is at 61,923 ounces. What am I missing?

@TedFran03073128 This is the list of mid-tier producers

@ctvqp Vassy Kapelos should visit Alberta, maybe host one or two episodes of Question Period in the province, so she can learn first-hand the issues and concerns of Albertans. Sad to say, her recent performances have been exceptionally disappointing.

In October, Albertans will be asked whether they want to remain in Canada or have the Alberta government commence the legal process required to hold a binding secession referendum. The Sunday Strategy Session with Tom Mulcair, Jason Hatcher and Scott Reid weigh in.

@SeanTrende @jaycost @aei_STpodcast This is one of the reasons I'm on 'X' ... excellent stuff!

Given that @jaycost and I are doing a presidential ratings podcast (among other things -- check out @aei_STpodcast!), I hate to get ahead of myself but: FDR is genuinely a God Tier president. I say this as someone libertarian-ish, so I don't really *want* to. But it's true. 1/

@ctvqp OMG, says Vassy Kapelos, Alberta is allowing its citizens to participate in democracy. That creates "uncertainty," claims Canada's silly media.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tells @ctvqp she is open to southern options for a new pipeline. #cdnpoli ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

@SundayFutures @MariaBartiromo @SecScottBessent @RepPfluger @GregAbbott_TX @VDHanson @LeeSmithDC @FoxNews Somebody needs to explain to Maria that the War of 1812 (and the burning of the White House in 1814) occurred AFTER American Independence. Ooof.
