Great piece by @HadleyFreeman in Britain’s @thetimes about the Great unmarked graves social panic of 2021-26. The story makes Canadians look like gullible idiots, but it’s a valuable international case study in mass hysteria & journalistic incompetence

Certain ethnic minorities are imprisoned more often not because there is a bias against them, but because they commit more crime

These groups should take more responsibility for the criminal behavior of their members and stop blaming "bias"; there is bias in FAVOR of them; they simply commit more crimes

Chief Casimir said “the mass grave discovered at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School reveals…a pattern of genocide.”

Turns out the school was so great it had a CBC film about it, trips, teams, clubs, festivities, Native teachers, and a reunion. https://t.co/Tge0Z9CE4p

[Jim McMurtry @JimMcMurtry01]

In 1962, there were three Indigenous teachers (Joe Stanley Michel, Benjamin Paul, and Mabel Caron) at the Kamloops residential school.

By 1973, half the staff was Indigenous along with the principal (Nathan Matthew).

Other than the 215 murders, it was a pretty great school.

- Cuando un tipo de derecha tiene problemas económicos, busca la manera de trabajar y ganar más dinero o trata de encontrar financiación para pagar sus deudas, y si puede, ahorra.
- Cuando un tipo de izquierda tiene problemas económicos le echa la culpa a la derecha, a los empresarios, a la burguesía, al capitalismo, a los neo conservadores etc., etc., luego se pone en contacto con un sindicato con la esperanza de que luego lo metan en un partido político o donde se pueda.

With atmospheric CO₂ hovering around 426 ppm, nature is thriving in arid regions once considered inhospitable.

The vegetation is marching back into the some of the world’s harshest desert environments. Earth's biosphere is quietly demonstrating a profound, measurable benefit from higher CO₂. These fringe areas are more resilient and greener, in a world that is also more water-efficient. Fresh green cover is actively reclaiming the fringes of the Sahel (the Sahara’s southern edge), the Middle East and the Australian Outback.

An 8% reduction in the Sahel (the Sahara’s southern edge) since the 1980s means 700,000 square kilometres of formerly barren sand wastes have turned green. This is an exciting real-world reincarnation of James Algar's 1963 epic documentary, 'The Living Desert', filmed in the Sonoran Desert near Tuscon, Arizona.

This is the natural world fighting back. Since 1960, global food production has increased by over 250% to 390% (depending on the index). Most of this is from the Green Revolution—the arrival of fertilisers, tractors and genetics. But atmospheric CO₂ - rising from 315 ppm to 426 ppm - is a silent yet profound tailwind behind every new hectare being harvested.

It's the ultimate irony: that a climate change agenda treated CO₂ as an agent of starvation. Instead, the fundamental biology shows it is still the primary engine of agricultural abundance and drought resilience.
When you break down the plant science, the results are stunning:

* C3 plants (95% of all plant species): Rice, wheat, soybeans and potatoes have increased yields by 30% to over 50%. Their photosynthetic mechanisms are structurally starved at lower baseline levels; extra CO₂ accelerates their growth directly.
* C4 plants: Maize (corn), sorghum and sugarcane have increased yields by up to 10%, alongside massive efficiency gains during dry spells.
* Root and tuber crops: Potatoes and sweet potatoes show explosive underground growth, as their large sinks efficiently store the excess carbohydrates produced by accelerated photosynthesis.

Studies compiled by organisations like the USDA Agricultural Research Service show potato yields increasing by 50% to over 100% under elevated CO₂ when water is abundant. Crucially, this atmospheric enrichment also triggers a 10% to 40% reduction in plant water loss because leaf stomata don't need to open as wide to take in carbon.

CO₂ isn't the code red disaster they warned about - but it is a massive insurance policy for the future of global food security.

The grocery rebate program Carney was bragging about today is an admission that the economy is failing.

[Canada has gone mad 🍎 @HaveWeAllGoneM1]

Mass immigration was used to fake Canada’s GDP growth… hiding the real economic disaster.

It destroyed our infrastructure: housing crisis, collapsing healthcare, overcrowded schools, rising crime. It turned us into a third-world shit hole.

The bill was always coming. 😏

Now we have both... we're a third-world shit hole in a recession. Good job, Liberals

A Muslim man from Gaza openly admitted that the Palestinian desire to kill Jews is stronger than their will to live or build a better future for their children.

This is what the media in the West ignores about the people of Gaza because it damages the false image of Islam as a religion of peace.

According to Islam, murdering Jews as human sacrifices for Allah guarantees Muslims a place in paradise — along with virgin sex slaves for eternity.

The Western media deliberately hides these statements because they destroy the carefully constructed narrative that the conflict is about “occupation” or “land.” Once you understand that most Muslims in Gaza and Ramallah view the murder of Jews and Christians as a religious obligation rather than a political dispute, the entire framework of “two states for two peoples” collapses.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

Great article.

“ The UN has become one of the most dangerous instruments in modern geopolitics. Authoritarian regimes are using the UN’s prestige to normalise their behavior, conceal their crimes and peddle anti-Western propaganda. It should terrify all of us that the world’s most trusted watchdog has been successfully leveraged as a PR firm for tyrants.”

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

The real story the media wasn’t interested in reporting and that no mainstream publisher would accept and that became a best seller on word of mouth alone because Canadians are fed up with being gaslighted.

Yes. We need transparency and accountability. The documents about the excavations should not be declared to be confidential, as @tkemlups announced to the world that remains had been found. Excavations were supposed to be done between 2021 to 2023, and so this should occur now.

[Masha Kleiner @mashakleiner]

Now that Carney included Omar Alghabra in the Council for combating antisemitism, it is time for a quick resume:

Omar Alghabra was born in Saudi Arabia to a Syrian family, immigrated to Canada in the 1980s, but brought his virulent antisemitism with him as luggage. Upon his arrival, he worked for CAF (Canadian Arab Federation) – a group so antisemitic that their federal funding was taken away by the court.

For nearly 20 years Alghabra has been almost consistently elected to the Canadian Parliament. He held various positions, such as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade Diversification.

At the same time, he often stated that Hamas and Hezbollah are not terrorist organizations and should be removed from the Canadian terrorist entities list. He tried to censor Canadian journalists, who call Hamas a terrorist organization. Alghabra publicly mourned Yasser Arafat.  In his Arabic interview he expressed disappointment that Canadian Muslims are insufficiently vocal in demanding Sharia law in Canada.

Alghabra called the Toronto officials to boycott Jewish charity events and opposed the collaboration between the Canadian police force and Israeli anti-terrorist units (obviously, if you don’t consider Hamas and Hezbollah – terrorists, no anti-terrorist work is required either).

Even following the October 7 massacre, even when directly questioned, Alghabra refused to condemn Hamas, but he uses every opportunity to label Israel “brutal and cruel.”

I wonder who the rest of the Council members are.

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

After watching Pierre Poilievre’s press conference, this is my take:

Canada is not in trouble because of bad luck. We are in trouble because of bad policy.

The Liberals want to call this a “technical recession,” as if families pay “technical rent” and buy “technical groceries.” People live in the real economy: layoffs, insolvencies, food banks, rent, debt, and businesses afraid to invest.

Poilievre is right. You cannot punish energy, bury projects in regulation, tax work and investment, spend like drunken sailors, and then act shocked when capital leaves and jobs disappear.

Canada has oil, gas, uranium, hydro, minerals, forests, farmland, ports, talent, and direct access to the U.S. market. We should be one of the richest, most productive countries on earth.

Instead, we have a government that treats production like a problem and bureaucracy like a solution.

The AI economy, manufacturing, mining, farming, transportation, housing, and trade all need affordable energy and investment. No energy, no growth. No growth, no prosperity.

This is not just a recession. It is the bill coming due after years of Liberal economic vandalism.

Pierre is right to call it what it is. Canada is not poor.

Canada is being restrained.
