  1. Unspeakable Truths about Racial Inequality in America

    https://quillette.com/2021/02/10/unspeakable-truths-about-racial-inequality-in-america/
    From the article:

    “Confronted by someone who is constantly bludgeoning me about the evils of colonialism, urging me to tear down the statues of “dead white men,” insisting that I apologize for what my white forebears did to the “peoples of color” in years past, demanding that I settle my historical indebtedness via reparations, and so forth—I well might begin to ask myself, were I one of these “white oppressors,” on exactly what foundations does human civilization in the 21st century stand? I might begin to enumerate the great works of philosophy, mathematics, and science that ushered in the “Age of Enlightenment,” that allowed modern medicine to exist, that gave rise to the core of human knowledge about the origins of the species or of the universe. I might begin to tick-off the great artistic achievements of European culture, the architectural innovations, the paintings, the symphonies, etc. And then, were I in a particularly agitated mood, I might even ask these “people of color,” who think that they can simply bully me into a state of guilt-ridden self-loathing, where is “their” civilization?”

    Read the rest yourself. All is good.

  2. “Only Liberals have a plan for real change that will restore trust in our democracy, and ensure an open and transparent government.” Justin Trudeau. Aug 11, 2015

    Canadian media outlet Blacklock’s Reporter published internal government emails disclosing the scientific director of a federal lab worried about contacts with China prior to an RCMP raid and the firing of two Chinese scientists.

    Canada’s foreign minister, Marc Garneau, responded by blocking Blacklock’s on Twitter.

    1. Although Question Period was quite dramatic over the two Chinese scientists, no mention of it was on Blackie’s loyal CTV political show. Instead they spent time trashing Ford for using the not withstanding clause.

      1. Some more details emerging. People have short memories. Recall the report last year that 2 million Communist Chinese are burrowed in within Canada, USA, UK etc. They are PLA spies and are here today and have been for years. In our Governments, Universities and critical industries.
        This report references this has been going on since Chretien and the SIDEWINDER Report. All of which Chretien shutdown because the investigation was getting to close to Chretien Himself.
        Chretien and Powercorp and the Desmarais Family.
        Chretien went to Ottawa as a poor small town lawyer from Quebec and left a multi, multi millionaire.

          1. The Communist Chinese are even Financed by our own tax dollars through the help of Liberal Governments and CIDA. Even under Harper Communist China received and continues to receive Canadian Foreign Aid to the tune of $50M plus per year. When Communist Chinese were starving under Chairman Mao, PET sold them Canadian Wheat through the Wheat Board millions of bushels of wheat on credit. It was never repaid and wrote off against the Canadian Tax Payers as a Loss.
            PE Trudeau saved the collapsing Communist Chinese Party with Canadian Wheat. He helped keep Millions of ordinary Chinese people under Communist Control.
            That was just wheat. He also sold off Candu Tech to all the worst Pariah countries in the world who used it to make nuclear weapons.
            He did more to spread Nuclear Weapons than anyone in history.

        1. A whole list of the Links to Powercorp and Canada’s Greasy Corrupt Political Parties and Leaders with direct ties to Powercorp and Communist China.
          Canada is a completely corrupt country.
          The best thing for Canadians is that Canada is broken up. It is truly run by criminals. Even our courts are in on the corruption.
          Do none of you recall how 4 of Canada’s former Supreme Court Justices were involved in the Trudeau SNC-Lavalin corruption.
          Break it Up.

          1. I’m surprised Garvey didn’t mention NENXI going to Peking not once but twice just prior to the Wuhan Flu shits-how…..and meeting with the CCP’s # 5 guy in their hierarchy. Cannot imagine what the talks were about..??

            I wonder if John Tory & any other Canadian Mayors did the same…?? Certainly a number of Premiers have…that much is obvious.

    2. https://twitter.com/MarcGarneau/status/1402672018248568833

      Great days for political and media transparency (sarcasm)….

      Marc Garneau announces on Twitter that he “did not realize” that he had blocked the media site Blacklock’s Reporter and has un-unblocked them. (“The dog ate my homework!”) Replies to his Tweet suggest not many people are buying his explanation.

  3. Spanish is the loving tongue,
    Soft as music, light as spray:
    ‘Twas a girl I learned it from,
    Living down Sonora way.
    I don’t look much like a lover,
    Yet I say her love words over,
    Often when I’m all alone —
    “Mi amor, mi corazón.”
    Nights when she knew where I’d ride
    She would listen for my spurs,
    Fling the big door open wide,
    Raise them laughin’ eyes of hers;
    And my heart would nigh stop beating
    When I heard her tender greeting,
    Whispered soft for me alone —
    “Mi amor, mi corazón.”

    Moonlight in the patio,
    Old Senora nodding near,
    Me and Juana talking low
    So the Madre couldn’t hear;
    How those hours would go a-flyin’!
    And too soon I’d hear her sighin’
    In her little sorry tone —
    “Adios, mi corazón!”

    But one time I had to fly
    For a foolish gamblin’ fight,
    And we said a swift goodbye
    In that black unlucky night.
    When I’d loosed her arms from clingin’
    With her words the hoofs kept ringin’
    As I galloped north alone —
    “Adios, mi corazón!”

    Never seen her since that night —
    I can’t cross the Line, you know.
    She was “Mex” and I was white;
    Like as not it’s better so.
    Yet I’ve always sort of missed her
    Since that last wild night I kissed her;
    Left her heart and lost my own —
    “Adios, mi corazón!”

    Broke her heart, lost my own,
    “Adios, mi corazón!”
    Spanish is the loving tongue,
    Soft as music, light as spray:
    ‘Twas a girl I learned it from,
    Living down Sonora way.
    Well, I don’t look much like a lover,
    Still I say her love words over,
    Mostly when I’m all alone —
    “Mi amor, mi corazón.”

    Haven’t seen her since that night —
    I can’t cross the line, you know.
    They want me for a gamblin’ fight;
    Like as not it’s better so.
    Still I always kind of missed her
    Since that last sad night I kissed her;
    Broke her heart, lost my own —
    “Adios, mi corazón!”
    Broke her heart, lost my own —
    “Adios, mi corazón!”

    “Adios, mi corazón!”

  4. Another great moment in Canada’s criminal justice, umm… legal system….

    https://news.freeads.world/a-kick-in-the-teeth-ttc-ordered-to-rehire-the-driver-who-ran-over-and-killed-a-14-year-old-girl-her-family-is-in-shock

    “The Toronto Transit Commission dismissed Dhanbir Shergill, now 33, after he struck (and killed) Amaria Diljohn with his bus at a Scarborough intersection… He was convicted last fall of the non-criminal Highway Traffic Act offence of careless driving for his role in the collision and given a $2,000 fine.”

    “Shergill and his union filed a grievance opposing his firing and on May 27 a labour arbitrator found in his favour, ruling the TTC had to reinstate him.”

    “…surveillance footage from the bus showed there were two bumps as the bus apparently ran over Amaria. Shergill was unaware he had hit her, and continued on his route. She died at the scene.”

    “The TTC also noted it had fired Shergill once before, in 2011, when he was caught driving while using a Bluetooth headset, but later reinstated him.”

    1. LONG Overdue to annihilate some (meh, how about ALL), of these Public Service Unions.

      In an Independant Alberta, THAT will be job #1- top ensure Public Service UNIONS are OUTLAWED.

      Go MAVERICK

  5. Norm’s scrabble story sucked big time.
    Letterman’s fake laugh didn’t salvage it.
    TV in a nut shell.
    Meanwhile, Milton wrote Paradise Lost.

  6. Kenney getting Boxed in, Wildrose Independence eatin his lunch.
    “The survey suggests that Kenney’s United Conservative Party has the support of only 30 per cent of decided voters, trailing Rachel Notley’s NDP by 11 points.
    But Kenney also faces a growing challenge from the right, with 20 per cent of decided voters saying they support the Wildrose Independence Party (WIP).”

      1. No Kenny, has to dump all covid rules and stop the stupidity, not apologize.

    1. If you are concerned about Firearms RIGHTS then check out Ian Runkle discussing the latest win in federal court with Ed Burlew

      Starting at 7 minutes:
      Changing the FRT status of firearm variants from the May 1, 2020 OIC as determined by the RCMP are not going to be dealt with by Judge Gagne, because they are not Tribunal decisions, they are bureaucratic decisions by the RCMP.
      Also, the FRT (Firearm Reference Table used by the RCMP) is not based on any Act or Regulation.

      Judge Gagne is requesting several letters signed by Min of Justice D. Lametti submitted to Governor in Council regarding the letters submitted to cabinet including ALL attachments supporting the Cabinet decision on the May1, 2020 firearm ban
      The Judge is also requesting a record and RECORDING of the deliberations the Cabinet made prior to the Order in Council.

  7. Street Violence as a Political Tool

    https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/street-violence-as-a-political-tool

    “This is all “intersectionality” really is — a branding mechanism to unite the various sects the Democratic Party has gathered under a big and potentially bloody tent. The current-day Democratic Party is a top-down structure paid for by the corporate establishment, led by Big Tech and finance, that appeals to a small class of managers, technocrats, and educators who for a variety of reasons, from self-pity to psychopathy, really do back the party’s most sinister policies—like open borders, designed to impoverish America’s working middle class. The party has lots of money and owns virtually all of the country’s major institutions, from the press to the Department of Justice. What it lacks, however, is voters. So they packed together interest groups and turned them into clients.”

    Read the rest yourself.

  8. Mr. Dress Up is heading for England today. Rumour has it that he will step off the plane wearing a kilt and bowler hat. He then will attend a state dinner dressed as the queen.

    1. A century ago, they would have been locked in a soft room and the keys thrown away.

  9. I’m sure in the next few days we can expect the drooling media to serve up the usual drivel while they follow those two lunk heads trudope and biden at the G7 .

      1. Continuing to prove you’re completely ignorant of reality.
        Theres a reason Mice and Monkeys are chosen for Animal Testing…right.??

        Explain 15,000 + Deaths
        Explain over 525,000 Severe Adverse reactions

        I asked you the other day, have you had your 2nd or 3rd jab yet.?? All of SDA hopes so. In case youre unaware, Male infertility is also a very real Risk with this GARBAGE..so in you’re case, I highly recommend you partake in all the shots.

        It would be comforting to know you wont be breeding more utter leftard ignorance.

    1. Dr. Hodskinson, yes that guy banned and cancelled everywhere, talks about the link some off the untested vaccines have to sperm and the lack of concern about what that could mean for a test subject’s future fertility.

  10. Blackie has a new rival at making a fool of himself on the world stage. Daily Mail UK edition outlines Dementia Joe’s fumbles, and the G7 meeting is just beginning. Joe’s wife tells him to pay attention while she gives a speech to U.S. troops. Old Joe says RFA instead of RAF during his speech. Brexit supporters are calling him senile. He made lots of friends by having his motorcade roar through an English town. Can’t wait for when Blackie arrives, and the two of them become the Abbot and Costello of England.

    1. OJ, dementia is a serious problem and I have first hand experience with two family members and three friends. Joe is in a stage of dementia and should be removed from the office of President of the United States.

  11. The U.S. CPI numbers have just come out, and overall CPI increased by 5.0% over last year, higher that what was projected. As a result, the prices of oil and other commodities have increased on the news. Buy silver and gold.

      1. Oil was over 70/barrel this am. Cue the riots in the ME and assorted shitholes because on top of that food shortages.

  12. Yesterday, I watch The Bolt Report on Sky News Australia. Andrew Bolt was talking about a speech that Australian PM, Scott Morrison, gave in advance of attending the G7 in Cornwall UK June 11-13.

    It was the first time in a very long time that I have heard a leader of a western democracy address the core issue facing the free world — the defence of freedom and of liberal democracies. Below is a link to a short video of his speech.

    Australian PM Scott Morrison – World Order Must Favour Freedom
    https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6258017298001

    “Our challenge is nothing less than to reinforce, renovate and buttress a world order that favours freedom. Meeting this challenge will require a degree of active co-operation among like-minded countries and liberal democracies not seen for 30 years.”

    (Incidentally, the YouTube video of the Bolt Report disappeared shortly after I watched it. I am convinced that Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube scour their platforms for any mention of the real issues facing the world today. They then substitute and replace them with “woke” issues and “woke” reporting in order to dumb down and manipulate the masses.)

    1. Or maybe just the opposite. I view the Covid masks as sinister and dehumanizing. That makes me even more hostile toward someone choosing a mask as a religious symbol. What kind of a religion dehumanizes their members?

      1. – especially as the religion of Islam does not demand the Niqab, however often its mullahs do – it’s straightforward politics instead, the control, subjugation and dehumanising of women.

      2. +++++/\LindaL

        100% Agree.
        A Kontrol mechanism – nothing more.
        ZERO Efficacy against Nanometer sized particulate matter.

  13. Adolf’s lapdogs at the NDP have announced they will vote for his global warming scam legislation.

  14. I never thought I would live to see the day the USA was being destroyed. It started with Obama, and now continues with Biden, BLM and the woke movement. Americans still have a chance to save it but time is running out.

    1. America’s catching up to Canada, which started dying on April 6, 1968.

  15. PJW on the invisible statue:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBChoazsluM

    Maybe the government of Canada should buy it and call it a depiction of Prinz Dummkopf. However, if that was to happen and HRH might, at some future time, fall out of favour, how would the SJWs pull it down?

  16. Rex Murphy at the National Post has a new story regarding the censorship bill. But please remember that the Liberal Party has declared him a national disgrace, so you shouldn’t read it. Just watch the CBC’s great clips of Great Leader leaving for England.

  17. The Oregon legislature has passed a bill allowing the homeless to occupy and public space and that local communities must rewrite local laws and ordinances to allow it.

    In my city they are living in all of my local parks, biking trails, even on school grounds. I don’t have a single green space to take my nieces and nephews to in the city. The only place they removed them from was along the waterways as they were dumping feces into the untreated water supply for the city of Portland.

    Listening to people at the bars, markets, streets and elsewhere I foresee a rise in vigilantism in the near future.

    https://apnews.com/article/or-state-wire-oregon-legislature-government-and-politics-22edb0e688f38c0360f043d57847d40c

    Here is the link to bill. It’s laughable that it lists the impact as “Minimal Fiscal Impact” when they can now set up a tent on public sidewalks in front of businesses and this law won’t allow them to be removed.

    https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2021R1/Measures/Overview/HB3115

    1. I read that five Oregon counties have voted to secede from Oregon and join Idaho – any word on the street about that so far?

      1. It is highly unlikely to ever happen because, I believe, four things are necessary: the counties have to approve it (probably at a second election), the State of Oregon has to agree to it, the State of Idaho has to agree to it, and the US Congress has to approve it.

  18. Breaking on CBC News! Fredericton Green Party MP Jenica Atwin is crossing the floor to join Justin Trudeau’s Liberals!

    (Atwin had argued with the Green party leade, given that Atwin hates Israeli Jews).

    1. The Israel hating Toronto Star is excited that the Israel hating Green Party MP is joining the Israel hating Liberals.

  19. Modern Monetary Theory says this should never, ever happen. We just need to print more money. I’m sure everything will be fine….

    https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/cpi-rises-at-fastest-since-2009-fanning-fears-of-u-s-inflation-1.1615225

    “Prices paid by U.S. consumers rose in May by more than forecast, extending a months-long buildup in inflation that risks becoming more established….”

    “The consumer price index climbed 0.6 per cent, the second-largest advance in more than a decade. Though distorted by the pandemic, the CPI jumped 5 per cent from a year ago, the largest annual gain since August 2008, according to Labor Department data Thursday.”

    “…we see signs of inflationary pressures broadening out, which we believe will keep monthly price gains from merely falling back to their pre-pandemic trend,” Wells Fargo & Co. economists Sarah House and Shannon Seery said in a note.”

    “…the core CPI over the past three months has increased at a 5.2 per cent annualized pace, the fastest since 1991.”

    1. “While transitory factors did a lot of the heavy lifting driving the May upside, the more persistent components like rents and OER firmed up as well much more than expected, pointing to a firmer source of foundation for the inflation data as the transitory factors begin to fall out of the figures,” economists at Morgan Stanley said in a note.”

      Even mainstream economists are finding it difficult to maintain the “approved” “Transitory Inflation” narrative.

  20. The diverse media in diverse Toronto are outraged about a group of high school students burning a pride flag and putting it on the internet. The Toronto police are investigating and charges could be laid. Apparently that’s more important than the daily shootings and stabbings in the city.

  21. The price of TC shares wasn’t greatly affected yesterday, but I suspect that investors already factored that in.

  22. Not a tip, but a question for my Western friends:

    I read in a US publication that conditions were extremely dry across the Prairies, and that Canadian canola crops were likely to be reduced severely as a result. Is this in anyway correct?

    1. “…canola crops were likely to be reduced severely as a result. Is this in anyway correct?”
      Long story short. Too early to tell. There has been rain the last couple of weeks covering just about all the major canola growing areas although just like any year there will probably be some dry areas. Veteran players in the market know you never make a blanket statement like that this early in the growing season.

      1. When I worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, I was taught never to make a blanket statement like that.

  23. Its a good thing social justice events are exempt from China virus restrictions. After the super spreader event in London earlier this week, a big march will be held on Friday. No mention in the media about a speaker at the vigil ranting about a connection between the London killings and the situation in Gaza and Israel.

  24. Police still looking for those high school students that burned a pride flag. Toronto’s CP24 explained why you can burn a Canadian flag but not a pride flag.

  25. Accidentally kinda sorta coined the phrase; Retribution Party.
    Sometimes the fingers are faster that the braincell.
    I can no longer support any Canadian Political organization.
    Reform of this collapsing Kleptocracy is impossible and pointless.
    Who wants to control the bankruptcy and breakup of the Old dominion?
    But revenge..That does appeal to me.
    I used be slow to anger and careful in my judgement..
    Which has been a tragic mistake.
    When faced with Parasites,do-gooders and idiots quick to anger and sudden with the violence would have been a far better way.
    Oh well,Canada is gone,replaced by Confederated Can Ahh Duh.
    But I see our usual suspects all conspiring to call a federal election,where they intend to sweep to power on the strength of their valiant service ..saving us from The Dread Covid and all those other icky things..
    You know personal rights,freedoms,rule of law and limits to State Power..
    All these things they have been busy,working across party lines to save us from..
    And now they anticipate a glorious election bashing in the glory of their “Public Service”.
    I cannot tolerate their delusions of adequacy.
    Would the passive aggressive Canadian Voters support “The Retribution Party”?
    Just our way of truly saying “Thank You..NEXT”.

    For a minimum amount of work..what a way to say “F…U” on the record.
