EXCLUSIVE: @RK_Thorpe and I have new reporting on America’s Somali fraud rings, which have stolen billions in taxpayer funds—and sent some to Islamist terrorists back home. “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer.” city-journal.org/article/minnes…

Blue Jay heartbreak triumphs in Toronto - @kirklapointe on a cruel Blue Jays loss, in @TheHubCanada: thehub.ca/2025/11/02/hea… “The cruelty of this particular defeat lies in how close it came to rewriting the franchise’s modern history. For a generation raised on grainy…


Gut punch of a game 7 but hats off to the @BlueJays. Best Jays team I’ve ever seen. Greatest run of my lifetime.


This is an interesting and thoughtful piece on the CBC. One thing the author does not seem to consider, however, is whether the CBC is even capable of reforming itself in the way he advocates. I would argue the CBC is structurally incapable of doing so. The CBC is dominated by a…

Canada has entered the age of what writer and broadcaster David Cayley calls “dissensus.” In order to meet the moment, Cayley argues that the CBC must reinvent itself, or else risk becoming irrelevant to the very country it was meant to bring together. thewalrus.ca/does-the-cbc-s…



These clips do not back up Stu’s characterization of them. There is a difference between saying someone broke the law and saying someone should be imprisoned. This should be obvious, but Stu seems incapable of recognizing the distinction. The fact that so many people, including…

Interesting defensive strategy to share the clip where Poilievre explicitly alleges Trudeau broke the criminal code just hours after Poilievre tried to claim he said no such thing.

For years, progressives promised to turn George Floyd Square into a monument for "racial equity." I visited this week and the entire block was a disaster, filled with graffiti, litter, and vagrants—a perfect symbol for the failed promises of the Left. city-journal.org/article/minnea…

On October 7, 2025, a group of radical protesters made plans to "spark shit" in New York City. @CityJournal sent our @rk_thorpe undercover to learn what the far-left anti-Israel protest movement is like, two years on.

Anyone who claims the Notwithstanding Clause is a “loophole” should not be taken seriously in this debate. They’re either not smart enough to know better; or they are, but hope you’re not.

Ford trying to preserve a loophole that he’s used to try and take away our rights.

This is true. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that’s what was happening in this case. It means the CBC was presented with a binary choice: either put the leader of the Official Opposition on air whatever way they could get him, or freeze him out in the lead up to an…

I don’t mean to adjudicate this, but there are reasons why news organizations have this kind of policy. Politicians will try to shut out tough-minded full time political reporters and get their message out through softer interviewers in the same org.

That the CBC only allows its most Liberal-sympathetic journalists to interview politicians isn't actually a great defence of the practice.

This needs context. No one on CBC TV -but Rosemary Barton or perhaps David Cochran if she’s not available, -is allowed to interview political leaders. Not even Adrienne Arsenault is permitted. It is CBC News policy to protect the political journalists brands. It’s been like that…

THE FIRST POSTSEASON GRAND SLAM IN BLUE JAYS HISTORY! #PLAKATA


Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that *only* 23 Christian churches were burned down via arson between 2021 and 2023 in Canada. Can you imagine the uproar if it were any other religious group targeted? If 23 mosques had been burned to the ground over a 3-year period, do you…

Thanks for tuning into my stream! You guys really are fans, huh ❤️ Everything I said here is accurate. There have been 24 confirmed instances of arson, not over 100 as Poilievre claimed. You also left out my broader point: that this is a claim often deployed in the service of…
