The ones who bray “follow the science, follow the science!” are the same ones who discard science to suit their ideological purposes.

This CTV correspondent sounds like the Liberals’ taxpayer-funded media subsidy just landed in his bank account.
Instead of holding the Liberal government to account, he's playing defence for them.
Watch @mikelecouteur attack @MichelleRempel on immigration during the Harper Government.
Just as @MarkJCarney announced the expansion of the media subsidy to broadcasters. Mike should put on a Liberal Party button. Good on Michelle for standing ground.

My daughter broke her finger playing rugby in March.
The X-rays flagged it as a P06. She was supposed to see the surgeon within 42 days.
It’s now November.
We still do not have a surgeon appointment.
The finger has healed crooked.
Interest charges on the federal debt now cost Canadians more than $1 billion every week - enough to build a new hospital EVERY WEEK.
Priorities matter.
This government is showing us exactly what theirs are: keep spending, keep borrowing.
Our kids will have to learn to live with the consequences.

Charlie was murdered in the middle of a debate with people who hate him while wearing a shirt that said "freedom." He died defending Chappelle's right to be offensive. And Chappelle thanks him by reveling in his death.
But as offensive as that is, none of us who knew and loved Charlie want Chappelle to suffer the same fate. We don't want Chappelle dead, and we wouldn't "feel better" if someone murdered him. That's not how we respond to speech that offends us because we're not bloodthirsty lunatics.
If you're laughing about Charlie's murder, or feeling good about Charlie's murder, you're acting within your rights. You're free to be sadistic. But that's exactly what you are. Your soul is sick. The only thing I wish for you is that you'd come to realize it — before it's too late — and beg for God's forgiveness.

More borrowed money for artists. More borrowed money to cover the story about spending more borrowed money.

"We hear plenty about how many Canadians the federal government is helping. I long for the day when it can brag about how many Canadians no longer need its financial support."
Cheques from the federal budget help Canadians afford today’s grocery bill. A more productive food system makes tomorrow’s bill easier to manage.

The journalism tax credit now extends to Bell, Rogers, Corus and Quebecor: $501M over five years, $85M a year permanently. Nearly every major news organization now depends on federal support. Companies reliant on government are less likely to criticize it.

Lisa Raitt questioned the budget’s assumption of 20% year-on-year revenue growth from Crown corporations. “I have no idea how they’re going to get that out of crown corporations, to be honest,” she said. “I had them in my portfolio. They… are not known to be able to increase the revenues 20% year on year over the next five years.”
She stressed that the fiscal plan depends on revenues materializing to offset rising debt. “Unless the rabbit coming out of the hat is increased revenues somewhere along the way… what are the revenues going to be?” Raitt asked, noting bond rating agencies will ask whether “Canada [can] actually create the revenues to offset all this debt” and warning that without projects generating returns in the next two years: “it ain’t going to be pretty”
She also pointed to practical hurdles, including long investment horizons of “half decade to decade” versus short political cycles, and the risk that major machinery-of-government changes will push institutions into “navel gazing” testing whether the public sector can still deliver results quickly @lraitt

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids.
They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex."
The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️
"Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

"I know how a woman gets pregnant; can you tell me how a man gets pregnant?"
MPs on Commons science committee express disbelief after senior Public Health Agency staff could not explain their use of terminology like “pregnant people” to identify expectant mothers.
MP @vincentneilho: “What is a pregnant person?”

No province—not Quebec, not New Brunswick—should receive a penny of federal transfer payments if it refuses to develop its natural resources.
New Brunswick’s refusal to develop its massive shale gas reserves while relying on federal transfers (largely funded by Alberta and Saskatchewan’s resource revenues) for 40% of its provincial budget is pure hypocrisy.

It's fascinating how uninterested Coyne seems to be in the way this membership will bind Canada to the EU. All memberships come with rules and obligations. We just aren't privy to them. Coyne isn't even curious. When any government is this vague, it should be like blood in the water for journalists.

You don’t hate Israel because you see a genocide.
You see a genocide because you hate Israel.

First things first. Israel has an absolute right to exist as a Jewish state, and there will be no peace until the genocidal terrorists who are suicidally determined to exterminate the Jews are themselves exterminated. The Jews are the senior occupants of what is still widely known as the Holy Land, having been there for more than 5,000 years. The British in 1917 effectively promised the old Roman province of Palestine to both the Jews and the Muslim and Christian Arabs; it was like selling the same real estate to two parties at the same time with predictable results.
If the surrounding Arab powers had accepted the original borders of Israel as proposed by the UN, it would be barely half of its present size. But by unleashing an aggressive war to try to strangle the Jewish state in its cradle and being defeated in 1948, 1967, and 1973, they facilitated the enlargement of Israel. On several occasions Israel has given back substantial territory in transactions of land for peace—in fact returning land to Arab countries who had lost wars they had started in exchange for ceasefires that they almost immediately violated. The U.S. Carter administration’s failures helped remove the Shah of Iran, who was replaced by a militantly genocidal pseudo-theocracy dedicated to exterminating the Jewish people; the only American presidents who have seriously known what they were doing in the Middle East were Truman, Nixon, and Trump.
It seems to have been largely forgotten that the present conflict was caused by Hamas’s invasion of Israel, the massacre of 1,200 Jews in the most barbarous circumstances, and the seizure of 250 hostages—an uncontestable act of war. The United Nations has played a shameful anti-Israel role: if you have peace, you don’t need peacekeepers, and if you have war, peacekeepers are useless. Despite a campaign of defamatory hysteria, Israeli forces have caused an extraordinarily small number of civilian casualties by the standards of urban counterguerrilla warfare, especially since Hamas makes no secret of its willingness to run up civilian deaths.
The only road to peace is Israeli victory; no nation could wish peace more than Israel does, but when the enemy is prepared to die to achieve a genocidal objective, he must die.

We plan.
To do plans.
That’s our plan.
For a dangerous and more divided world.
Canada’s new national security strategy promises plans to address economic security, defence, foreign interference and intelligence, but leaves key questions unanswered about potential new intelligence powers and which threats the government is preparing to confront.

"Canada is by far the most European of the non-European countries."
Argentina likely has the highest share of its local population with ties to the EU most of them even holding EU citizenship alongside their Argentine nationality.
Uruguay would likely follow closely and Brazil wouldn't be too far behind.
In all three countries, people with EU descent exceeds 80% (with ties to Portugal, Spain, Italy and Germany particularly prominent).
About two-thirds of Canadians, however, have no ties to any current EU member state so not sure where this notion comes from since most Canadians have zero personal EU ties.

Two days after Henry died Hampshire Police secretly recorded Digwa in a police van speaking Punjabi to his brother. Digwa admitted stabbing Henry. Discussed claiming self defence. Made zero mention of racial abuse. Not one word.
Hampshire Police had that tape.
They knew Digwa was lying about the racist attack. They had the evidence. They had his own words and then tried to smear Henry as the aggressor anyway.
Three days after his death their statement read “it was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.” Henry was the unknown man. The boy bleeding out on the street. They flipped it.
Family complained. Statement changed. Then police told the family their NEXT update would again infer Henry was the initial aggressor. His family had to fight them a second time. While grieving their murdered son.
Then during the trial Hampshire tried to issue a statement telling the public to stop talking about it online. Calling it disinformation. The CPS had to step in. Told them they were about to collapse their own murder case.
This is the force that handcuffed a dying boy. Missed the murder weapon twice. Had a secret tape proving the killer lied. And still tried to bury Henry's name.
That's not incompetence. That's a machine protecting itself. At the expense of a dead boy's reputation and three officers are still on active duty. Not suspended. Treated as witnesses. To their own actions.
Hampshire Police didn't just fail Henry on that street. They kept failing him for six months after he died.
