"We were going to change the world together, but she took my last cupcake." — Esther the Wonder Pig Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg took a break from her high-profile campaign against climate change this week to hang out with a fellow famous vegan and Earth lover in Ontario. Only instead of handshakes, the meeting between the two influential figures involved a forehead pet and snout rub. On Tuesday afternoon the 16-year-old and her father stopped by the Campbellville, Ont., animal sanctuary of Esther the Wonder Pig, a social media sensation with two books written about her and an upcoming...

Sincere condolences to our conservative Canadian friends OCTOBER 3, 2019 BY BARENAKEDISLAM No need to bother voting in the upcoming October 21st election, when Andrew Scheer, the main conservative opposition to the Muslim-pandering, far left, incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is seen appearing in photos like the one below. As they say, you will be known by the company you keep. Andrew Scheer, 2nd from left Here’s a tweet from a Muslim MP named Salma Zahid. Zahid, a Muslim Liberal, seems very agitated by this, judging by the series of other tweets she posted. Muslim outreach: Andrew Scheer’s “new friend”...

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday took aim at teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, telling an energy forum he did not share the excitement about her United Nations speech last month. The 16-year-old Swede electrified the U.N. summit in New York when she denounced world leaders for failing to tackle climate change, unleashing the outrage felt by millions of her peers by demanding: “How dare you?” Putin, chairing a session at an energy forum in Moscow, said: “I may disappoint you but I don’t share the common excitement about the speech by Greta Thunberg. “No one has explained to Greta...

Gallup released the results of a survey today on the topic of Universal Basic Income. The survey found that respondents in the UK and Canada overwhelmingly support UBI while it remains a minority position in the United States: A recent survey by Gallup and Northeastern University finds a slight majority of Americans opposed to a universal basic income (UBI) program as a way to support workers displaced by AI adoption. Conversely, about three-fourths of residents in the U.K. and Canada favor the idea…In the survey, UBI was defined for respondents as a government-instituted program that would provide every adult...

The teen suspects who were wanted for three murders in Canada confessed to their crimes and said they planned to kill more people in a video recorded not long before the two died by suicide, police said. Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, showed "no remorse for their actions" and expressed "their intentions to potentially kill others" in the video, which was found on a digital camera, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Kevin Hackett said at a press conference Friday.

This is the modern day left in action — Hurling f-bombs at a senior woman with a walker on her way to a speech by a Jewish gay independent YouTuber. Far left antifa thugs harassed, blocked and screamed “Nazi scum!” at a senior woman with a walker outside of Dave Rubin’s event with Maxime Bernier in Hamilton, Ontario.This only surprises people who have not been paying attention the last three years.For the rest of us, it’s nothing new.And then the liberal media will call conservatives, populists, or gay-Jewish independents the violent ones.  Via The Post-Millennial:https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1178500448552210432 

The election campaign to date has been an exercise in idiocy and cowardice. It is obviously embarrassing for Justin Trudeau to have had to admit to attending an Aladdin-themed party in 2001 made up to look like Aladdin (although Aladdin was an Arab not an African, and blackening his hands was oddly laborious). But Maxime Bernier is right that Justin is not a racist, just a hypocrite. As Tucker Carlson, the Fox News commentator, said on Thursday night, the prime minister’s conduct is “sort of like finding out your super-sensitive brother-in-law, the one who tells you he’s a feminist, the...

Canada’s Green Party admitted it doctored a photo of its leader to show her holding a reusable cup instead of a paper one. Elizabeth May, the longtime head of the party, said in a statement on Tuesday that her staff altered the photo, which had been taken last year during the Sidney Street Market in Victoria, British Columbia. In the original photo, May held a paper cup without a straw. But in the doctored photo, she holds a reusable cup with a Green Party of Canada logo on it, as well as a metal straw. “I was completely shocked to...

Leave it to Canada to make genital waxing a political and "legal" issue.  The infamous British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal (BCHRT) is seriously considering a claim of "gender identity" discrimination by a man named Jonathan ("Jessica") Yaniv.  His complaint?  Since he "identifies" as a woman, he says women's salons had no right to refuse to wax his intact male genitals. Since LGBT politics are genital-based, it's not surprising that things have devolved to the point where B.C.'s quasi-judicial human rights apparatus — AKA kangaroo court — is taking this man's complaint seriously.  But since there is no reality to "gender identity," the courts (whether in Canada or the U.S.)...

A southern Alberta farmer who faced criminal charges for defending his property from suspected thieves is now being sued by one of the intruders. Edouard Maurice was accused of shooting a trespasser in February 2018 after he fired off warning shots when he encountered two people rummaging through his vehicles at his property near Okotoks, south of Calgary. Now Maurice is being sued for $100,000 by Ryan Watson, whose arm was injured and required surgery after the confrontation.

The wife of “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary has been charged in connection with the fatal boat crash last month on a Canadian lake, according to reports. Linda O’Leary, 56, was charged with careless operation of a vessel stemming from the Aug. 24 collision on Lake Joseph in Ontario that killed two passengers of another vessel, CTV News reported on Tuesday. She was allegedly piloting the boat when it slammed into a larger, 13-person vessel returning to a lake cottage just before midnight. A New York man who was driving the other boat was also charged in connection with the...

The RCMP have charged one of its highest-ranking intelligence officials with illegally storing and communicating classified information, raising fears of a massive security breach at the national police force that stands to affect the operations of law-enforcement agencies in Canada and around the world. Current and retired members of the RCMP were shocked by the arrest of Cameron Jay Ortis, who was director-general of the National Intelligence Coordination Centre. The 47-year-old faces seven charges under the Security of Information Act and the Criminal Code in relation to alleged infractions between 2015 and 2019. According to documents filed in court, he...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged a ban on “military-grade” semiautomatic rifles in an attempt to redirect his campaign after his blackface controversy. City News reports that Trudeau announced the rifle ban on Friday in Greektown, Toronto, the area of the city in which a gunman shot 15 people, killing two, last year. Trudeau said, “We know you do not need a military-grade assault weapon – one designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time – to take down a deer.” His ban includes a two-year amnesty for current owners of the rifles....

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, embroiled in a blackface picture scandal, on Friday pledged to ban military-style assault rifles in the country’s most ethnically diverse city in a bid to get his campaign back on issue. Trudeau is campaigning in Toronto with less than five weeks to go before the Oct. 21 national election and two days after bombshell images of him in blackface emerged.

Canadians have seen the face of social justice, and it’s rather dark. On Wednesday Time magazine published a yearbook photo of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dressed in a turban and white robes, his face covered with brown makeup. It was taken at an “Arabian Nights”-themed gala in 2001 for the Vancouver private day school where he was teaching drama, French and math. “It was a racist thing to do,” said the Liberal leader. “I should have known better then, but I didn’t and I’m sorry.” Mr. Trudeau, who was 29 at the time, hopes self-laceration will pre-empt a whipping from...

As he smiled for the camera, the young man must have felt the costume and make-up he was wearing were mere harmless fun: Just another night for a party boy who loved dressing up. In one snap, he’s elaborately costumed as Aladdin for an end-of-year ‘Arabian Nights’ do at a smart private school in British Columbia. His fellow teachers barely bothered to dress up for the 2001 event, but Justin Trudeau has gone for it, donning a white robe, theatrical turban and even dark make-up on his hands, face and neck.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized Thursday after three instances of him in blackface resurfaced in less than 24 hours, but left open the possibility that more footage could come to light. “I am wary of being definitive about this, because the recent pictures that came out, I had not remembered,” Trudeau said, according to CNBC. Trudeau’s comments come after a video resurfaced on Thursday that showed Trudeau in dark makeup, raising his hands in the air and making faces while wearing a white T-shirt and jeans ripped at the knees. SNIP When asked if there were other similar instances...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized again for wearing blackface on Thursday after two additional photos of him donning dark make-up emerged following an original, damning image of him at an Arabian Nights party. Trudeau first apologized on Wednesday night after a 2001 photograph of him emerged in brown face at an Arabian Nights party when he was a teacher. He also referred to a high school incident where he dressed up as Harry Belafonte to sing the Jamaican song Day-O. A photograph of the Day-O performance came out on Thursday morning but since then, a video of a third...
