If you go by what the leftist corporate media are saying, conspiracy theories are the exclusive province of conservatives. Jump into the “rabbit hole” of residential school controversy, however, and conspiracy theories abound.
Not one reporter even thought to ask questions such as “If 215 children had disappeared at the school, why is there no historical record of even a single Kamloops indigenous parent – or any parent anywhere in Canada – claiming that their child had failed to return from school?”, “Where is your evidence of murderous priests, nuns and secret burials?” Why are you not releasing the radar operator’s report, that you promised to release?” or Why are the RCMP refusing to investigate what indigenous leaders are calling a “crime”, and why are the RCMP refusing to properly secure what indigenous leaders are calling a “crime scene” and do at least basic excavations?
Meet Shae. Lovely chap.
Throughout most of the pandemic, were not treatments like this considered to be the province of lunatic fringe, tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists? Note that the article validates direct clinical experience in this case as opposed to the usual kneejerk condemnation of any treatment that does not take the triple somersault double blind study route. How times have changed.
One can now imagine how much easier Covid could have been to manage if the medical central planners and their media lackeys had promoted the use of disinfectant nasal rinses instead of insisting that, short of vaccination and Tylenol, there was absolutely no treatment whatsoever for Covid.
The company McGhee called was Vancouver-based Ondine Biomedical, which created Steriwave, a technology that involves putting a disinfecting liquid into the nose and then activating it with lights attached to probes to kill viruses lurking in the respiratory system.
Interesting juxtaposition when you look at some past comments from the front man of Kiss. One must, presumably, only engage in the treatments that earn his approval.
No matter what you think about Scott Adams’ recent comments, he does highlight a disturbing trend regarding race relations in our culture. What SDA readers have known for a long time is that the criteria for determining hate speech tends to be, well, just a little bit subjective. Take, for instance, the Quebec government’s recent stand on non-French speaking immigrants.
To paraphrase Adams, the Quebec government is effectively proclaiming, “Stay the f*** away from us!”.
So where’s the outrage? All I hear is crickets.
Legault’s nationalist Coalition Avenir Quebec party was re-elected with a huge majority in October, partly on a platform of protecting French as the dominant language in the province of 8.7 million people. His speech to the legislature Wednesday laid out his priorities for his second term, including a plan to bar almost all economic immigrants who don’t speak French by 2026.
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, who campaigned on her goal to restrict natural gas use for Oregonians, is reportedly having a $300,000+ natural gas generator installed at the gubernatorial mansion.
Priorities.
In this clip a reporter notes he hesitated to cover Pakistani-Muslims grooming & raping English girls because "it's the dream story for the far-Right". He worried more about potentially helping political opponents than helping girls avoid rape. That mindset pervades media today. pic.twitter.com/EcyMPlmcKx

When bedlamites want you fired:
Kara Lynne, the now-ex community manager of [games distributor] Limited Run, was reportedly fired following complaints from a trans activist on Twitter who had dissected Lynne’s social media history. Jonathan “Jessica” Blank, a trans-identified male better known in the My Little Pony fan community as Purple Tinker, published a Twitter thread on January 6 accusing Lynne of “transphobia” and tagging Limited Run Games in an apparent effort to have her penalised.
The so-called infractions Blank levelled against Lynne included that she had been following popular conservative social media account Libs of TikTok, and had posted a tweet expressing opposition to self-identification laws in 2016. Other alleged examples of transphobia included that Lynne had expressed support for the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy video game.
If prosecutors had devoted half the resources they must have consumed in an attempt to deny bail to Tamara Lich, maybe this guy would still be in custody and that police officer might still be alive.
A man charged in the shooting death of a Southwestern Ontario OPP officer was released on bail six months ago while facing charges including assaulting a police officer and possessing a handgun, court records show.
McKenzie, of no fixed address at the time, was arrested on Dec. 1, 2021, and charged with a dozen offences including assault with a weapon, assaulting a peace officer, assault, possession of a firearm without a licence, carrying a concealed weapon, mischief and possession of counterfeit money.
In which we marvel at the mental contortions of our self-imagined betters…
Woke theatre criticism and its complications were topics in July, as two Toronto Star reviewers, Aisling Murphy and Karen Fricker, applauded each other, and thereby themselves, for seeing an indigenous play and submitting to strict conditions on what they may subsequently write about it. Indigenous theatre, we discovered, requires approval that is both pre-emptive and unanimous, and its writers, actors and directors must be exempt from unflattering feedback, i.e., reviews of a kind that paying customers might have found useful, had they been available. Untroubled by irony, the critics, or rather non-critics, then bemoaned the ongoing, quite rapid decline of their profession and of the wider newsprint media.
Cultivated incompetence was also championed by the Oregon Health Authority, on grounds that “urgency is a white supremacist value.” Whereas, in matters of health, tardiness and lack of forethought are apparently aspirational, a woke ideal.
We also noted the scrupulously intersectional priorities of Canadian women’s shelters, where a deranged dysmorphic man roaming the halls wearing only a bra and brandishing his genitals, along with several stolen kitchen knives, was deemed of much less importance than the fact that a female resident had dared to “misgender” him.
“Unfortunately, the Biden administration is determined not to let us know” what exactly Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health was funding in China, Chang told [Sen. Marsha Blackburn]. “I think it’s because Dr. Anthony Fauci purposefully evaded the 2014 ban on federal funding of gain of function research,” a scientific process in which a virus is made even more deadly so researchers can study it. This practice is banned in the United States for being too dangerous. “So, what [Fauci] did is he funded it in China, specifically at Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
“Eventually the American people will get the truth, but it could take years,” Chang said, pointing to efforts by the Biden administration to downplay American funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab at the center of the COVID leak. The exact nature of America’s role in supporting this research still remains unclear, and Chang believes this is due to the Biden administration’s efforts to shield Fauci from criticism.
Fauci, Chang added, likely perjured himself before Congress when he claimed that his agency was not funding so-called gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“So, either [Fauci] didn’t know what his institute was doing, or he committed perjury twice last year,” Chang said, referring to Fauci’s denial before the Senate that the NIH was engaged in funding gain of function research in China. “I’m of the view that he had to know what was going on for various reasons, and therefore, he did commit perjury. And the Department of Justice doesn’t seem to care.”
The University of Brasilia has subsequently issued a statement declaring the campus a “tolerant and plural place that values the richness and potential of diversity and respect for differences.”
Which would presumably explain all the shoving, screaming and threats of violence.
NEW🧵: @PrideToronto exploited Cree artist Kent Monkman’s name on yet another federal grant.
This $1million @FedDevOntario grant was not included in Pride Toronto’s apology and KPMG review earlier this year, current leadership must be held accountable for this cover up.
Since 2019, this is the third federal grant that @PrideToronto used Kent Monkman’s name without permission.
This is the fourth federal grant where Pride Toronto promised benefits for Indigenous artists and communities that were never delivered. This now totals $2,850,000.
The grant required that @PrideToronto submit authorization from the Board of Directors, this enabled staff to administer the project funds. Pride Toronto submitted to @FedDevOntario forged signatures of the Board.
The FTX Collapse Explained in 99 Seconds

In 2008, Goldman mastered the art of crony capitalism: pay up for government protection & get bailed out when you need it most. That’s why Goldman got bailed out while Lehman didn’t. Crypto-dude Sam Bankman-Fried just tried to play the same game by donating $30mm+ to Democrats.
The failed exchange FTX had no board of directors. That was one point of failure by investors. They wanted in the deal so badly, they let the ship go through the ocean without a rudder.
But of course! The Ukrainian government website detailing the partnership, which sought to raise $200,000,000 in cryptocurrency to be sent to the National Bank of Ukraine, has been wiped from the internet following FTX filing for bankruptcy.
It’s Puppy Day at the Journal De Montreal.
“In the interview, [he] stated that he had always wished he had been born a woman who was paralysed from the waist down.”
There follows some obligatory rumbling about the “freedom” to have ostentatious hairstyles “without negative repercussions,” before we are informed of black employees’ entitlement to speak and behave in ways that are likely to be “interpreted as violent or aggressive.” No, really. You see, if an employee is surly, or starts cursing and shouting, while invading your personal space and flailing their arms about – such that these things can be “interpreted as violent or aggressive” – this is something that employers must tolerate, and of course defer to. We’re told, for instance, that a dislike of being shouted at or bullied by the emotionally incontinent can only be evidence of “deep, inherent bias and deeply inherent systemic racism.”
