“…have you seen the demographics of my riding?”

National Post- Mélanie Joly’s cowardice lets handful of Montreal voters drive Israel policy

Of the 80,359 eligible voters in the riding in 2021, 13.8 per cent identified as Arab, coming from regions including Algeria, Syria, Morocco, and Lebanon, according to census data.

I Want A New Country

Colby Cosh;

I was a little sorry, I admit, not to see 2024’s most exciting new form of wokeness get more attention in the press. I am referring, of course, to Alberta denialism. Late last month a few people noticed that a research questionnaire on “2SLGBTQ+” poverty, part of a federally funded project by St. Mary’s University in Halifax, was being published in search of Alberta participants — and so the questionnaire asked “Do you live in Alberta?”

Available multiple-choice answers were “Yes,” “No,” and the hyper-modern third option: “I do not recognize the province of Alberta, but live in a region within the geographic boundaries of what is known as the province of Alberta.”

A Major Victory for a Canadian Freedom Protester

Cullen McDonald has won the appeal of his conviction relating to a second anti-lockdown rally:

A packed courtroom erupted in applause after a Welland judge dismissed a Crown appeal against a man police say played a major role in an anti-lockdown protest in Niagara Falls during the height of the pandemic.

Following a hearing in a Superior Court of Justice in Welland on Friday, Judge James Ramsay dismissed the appeal of the acquittal against Cullen McDonald, formerly of Lincoln.

The judge also granted McDonald’s appeal of his conviction relating to an anti-lockdown rally held in St. Catharines about a week after the gathering in Niagara Falls, and then quashed the conviction.
