Its “burn the witch” vibe is getting out of hand As Justice Minister in the 1960s, Pierre Trudeau articulated the essence of liberal tolerance with his “government has no place in the bedrooms of the nation.” Sixty years later, PET’s son Justin would like to amend that to “the government has no place in the…
Trudeau using Alberta as a whipping post to rile his woke base before an election Imagine being told that, despite your happiness in your current home, you need to move into a new type of house, full of untried, unsustainable technology. That’s the Just Transition. Whatever you call it, the federal government’s plan to hollow…
To appease the attention-deficit mob, the league may replace them with the heroes of the post-expansion era The concept of dumping the league’s history in favour of blog talking points for Millennials has taken root. If the attention-deficit mob – which loves changing the names of universities or toppling statues to suit the mood –…
Assisted death has gone from a last resort to an earth-friendly way to reduce the world’s population Liberalism used to mean live and let live. If your neighbour painted his house Day-Glo green, liberals shrugged and said, “so be it”. Now? You must not only heap fulsome public praise on his paint preference but you…

Political actors are appropriating language to advance their radical policies One of the best ways to explain 2022’s rapidly devolving world is to suggest that for men, life is sports. For women, however, life is culture. After a sustained reign where sports ruled the nations, culture has become paramount in the past generation – and…
There’s no going back since Bieksa joined the crew in 2020 The recent news that the NHL is contemplating an 84-game regular season is a testament to the bankruptcy of ideas at NHL HQ in New York City. Perhaps they felt it necessary after the shellacking the league absorbed for its “non-binary” proclamation. And its…
His rural values run smack-dab into the urban Woke It would be no exaggeration to say that Carey Price has been the most popular pro athlete in Quebec for the past 15 years. The Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy winner is probably the greatest goalie in his generation. Since his epic performance in the 2021…
So why aren’t there any trans men in the NHL? Imagine the Academy Awards coming out in favour of returning The Dreamers to their home country. Or the Tonys advocating a repeal of gay marriage. That’s the equivalent of the NHL’s Twitter site tweeting, “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is…
Woke scolds fearful that Musk will succeed at his mission to free speech We know that many of you hate betting content on sports TV. This weekend’s Grey Cup broadcast bristled with wagering talk. Puritans just couldn’t wrap their heads around the presence of lines, sides and parlays on the broadcasts of their favourite CFL…
