How do we integrate immigrants? Is it by bringing foreign cultures to Canada and forcing boys and girls to have segregate swim times? That is what is happening at the University of Regina summer camps. Brian talks about integration, the Supreme Court, Conservative Party leadership and how Instagram is taking on SnapChat in the social media wars.
Guests include John Robson, Richard Kurland, Sarah Mills and Stephen Taylor. Plus your calls.

On Tuesday, Metrolinx awarded a $428 million contract to build double-decker Go Trains to Bombardier, even though the company is behind schedule on a $1 billion streetcar order with Toronto and a previous $770 million contract with Metrolinx for LRTs.

Just Between Friends
The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.
Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.
The Sound Of Settled Science
“The evidence for flossing is ‘weak, very unreliable,’ of ‘very low’ quality, and carries ‘a moderate to large potential for bias,'” the AP reported.

Multiculturalism: a system in which every culture is equal except yours.
Munich is in shock. As the city mourns, local politicians are seeking to reassure people — to little avail. A ban on backpacks and a perimeter fence around the Oktoberfest grounds could make the event safer, said Josef Schmid, the head of the annual event. But that “wouldn’t be an ideal solution,” retorted Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter, who added that a possible attacker could simply blow himself up among the crowds waiting in front of the entrance.
Some locals understood that to mean they’d be better advised to stay home this year and forego Oktoberfest altogether. This summer, it seems, many people are preferring a more solitary lifestyle, with only their fears to keep them company.

How Totalitarian Thugs Get Started
A young woman named Rohini Sethi attends the University of Houston. She had the “audacity” to perform a “hate crime”. How? By posting this on Facebook: “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like #AllLivesMatter”.
Now a pasty white weakling named Shane A. Smith is trying to force her through a process so humiliating that it likely has George Orwell and Franz Kafka spinning in their graves. Look for Smith to be a future Democrat politician.
So far there are relatively few news stories about it because it simply does not match the narrative of the Leftist MSM.

Your Attraction To Attractive People Must Be Corrected
Apparently, we should be cultivating politically correct romantic and erotic attractions to unappealing people – say, overweight bores with borderline personalities. Because, says Ms Hedlund, love and sex are unequally “distributed,” with an unfair amount of both going to people who are deemed lovable and attractive by the people loving them, and not insufferable sociopaths with horrific disfigurements. Or, one suspects, self-styled “feminist killjoys.”

Operation Empty Chair
Beijing is set to host the G-20 Summit for the first time on September 4-5 in the city of Hangzhou. Always looking to enhance its status as a rising superpower as well as play the part that China is the ultimate partner nation and never one to start trouble, Beijing will follow a carefully well scripted playbook in the South China Sea — lots of fiery talk and signaling, but no escalatory steps for the time being. China would not want to risk having any drama at this prestigious gathering — beyond what could occur already when it comes to tensions in Asia. Why rock the boat and lose face? Now is simply not the time for a squabble. I would argue Beijing has every incentive to hold its fire until after the summit.
This is not the Asian pivot we were promised.

At least three British men who were born female are ‘on the brink’ of becoming parents using IVF techniques, according to a top doctor.
And dozens more are now having their eggs frozen at NHS clinics before undergoing surgery or hormone therapy to switch sex.
They’re not men. Cutting off one’s legs doesn’t make you a snake.
