A compendium of progressive pretence and odd mental contortions:
In February, we learned, via a Canadian socialist podcaster named Nora Loreto, that habitual car theft is a “victimless” crime, a trivial thing. Even a third conviction for thieving someone else’s car should not result in incarceration or any physical impediment, because the victims of car theft – who do not exist, apparently – “get new cars though.” “I write books and I know things,” announced Nora, who lives in Quebec, where, in the last year, the rate of car theft has practically doubled.
Other topics included an educational effort in San Francisco, in which elementary school children were expected to “disrupt whiteness,” and to have – or at least regurgitate – strong opinions on the Israeli military. Needless to say, this focus on political indoctrination and imagining “a world without police, money, or landlords,” came at the expense of more mundane subjects, with English and maths scores hitting record lows, and with less than 4% of students considered numerate. All in the name of “removing barriers to learning.”
And we pondered the weirdly woke marketing of retailer John Lewis, whose customers were doubtless inspired to shop harder and more often thanks to photographs of store employees accompanied by details of their mental health problems and niche sexual leanings. Among them, Mr Marc Geoffrey Albert Whitcombe, now known as Ruby, who was thrilled by “the chance to express my true inner self,” and who was photographed in an enormous rose-adorned wig and while clutching a cat o’ nine tails. Customers intrigued by this in-store display soon discovered Mr Whitcombe’s social media presence, which consists of hundreds of selfies in which he attempts erotic poses, complete with ladies’ lingerie and while gripping sex toys in his mouth.
With reference to the “guy” who works for John Lewis – British women have long put up with “less than special” men. After watching Coronation Street with our mother while she was alive, and seeing the quality of the current British politicians, I seriously doubt that there are any “real men” left in Britain.
In 5 years car theft in the GTA rose a minimum 500%. Sometimes these blathering talking heads just need a punch.

Love that 700% rise in Markham. That’s a beauty.
Me, I put a gate on my driveway. Make ’em work for it.
Personally, I love watching city folk reap the results of how they vote.
They’ll be “commuting” via boxcars soon enough, and they’ll wax poetic about how inclusive it is, and I’m gonna laugh.
We need mandatory minimums, and best case scenario, a Three Strikes Yer Out law instituted here. The criminal element own the streets since the detestable Lieberals came to office.
The lowlifes are back out on the street before the cops finish the paperwork, they know it, rinse and repeat. There’s one thing I will agree to pay more taxes for, More Jails, if it means every single low life no longer gets away with daily petty thefts as a way of life without even a slap on the wrist.
