The idea that people who believe in a particular book of historical fiction are entitled to a piece of land because of it is one of the daftest ideas ever. Vatican, Mecca, Israel—it’s all silly.

Let’s be clear: there is no “necessity” for an evil, indeed genocidal, ideology like Zionism, be it Christian or otherwise.

Carrie Prejean Boller perfectly encapsulates the rising tide of antisemitism in the United States, our columnist David French writes. “Boller is also, ironically enough, showing the necessity for a sane Christian Zionism.”

“Cholos”. Did you study hard to be a racist asshole or were you born this way?

I was at Oxford and later Harvard with Nowak. He is exactly what his friendship with Epstein seems to make him.

Martin Nowak discussed “torture” with Epstein, but says his research is about “nice guys finish first”

Hear hear! Out with the South Africans!

Jesus. He was a creep when I knew him, but WTF.

The governor of Texas 🤡 is such a chickenshit that he wants to arrest students who protest. Imagine! Big tough MAGA guy scared of students.

Iran is a country of poor results because Iranians are people of low expectations, and the support of Pahlavi is a prime example.

My fellow Iranians are blowing it.

Choosing CIA-backed Reza Pahlavi as a “good” alternative to the Ayatollah is like choosing Stalin as a “good” alternative to Hitler.

“The young generations (in Iran), they risked their life and they wrote with their blood that they want the king, they want the shah,” said one demonstrator at Saturday’s march.

Energy like this exists in America and it’s going to explode and leave MAGA in a pool of blood, figuratively, maybe also literally.

Well, there are only two lawyers, including me, who sued the Law Society over Levant AND WON, after which he quit rather than be fired. But as you’re a slow-witted troll, I forgive you not knowing so. www.theglobeandmail.com/news/nationa...

We could starve the USA of cheap oil without even touching flow. We could put a 50% export tax on it, exactly like Trump put a 50% tariff on Canadian metals.

Bless you, Alberta is the perfect place for that!

Ezra was, remains, and forever will remain a talentless little sod, at anything other than grifting for a buck.

I think back to the days when I made Ezra Levant lose his law license …

… and I ponder, was I wrong?

… and then I realize …

… NOPE NOT AT ALL! 👇🏼

Thanks for writing it!

This article makes a strong case the Univ of Alberta is illegally failing to meet EDI targets.

Could it be why their failing President is trying to eliminate them?

It is time for students and staff to sue the University. I won when I sued the federal govt, and I believe this is winnable too.
Opinion: Little evidence of EDI hiring policy in practice at the U of A
The U of A’s recruitment data does not show any signs of progress in EDI, let alone patterns of reverse discrimination.
