If it were not so pathetic, it would be funny. Watching the usual political suspects commenting on whether Justin Trudeau groped Rose Knight’s at a 2000 event in Creston. They go back and forth, signalling their virtue with every statement. His defenders use arguments like the one in the July 6th Toronto Star,...

Reading, watching and listening to the local Toronto news, it is easy to thing that the city have become a war zone, with shootings going on night and day. And, of course, any shooting is an unfortunate thing.

Sick of CNN and the always shocked idiots. The Russians interfered with the US elections. Of course they did. How is this any different from the US interfering with elections around the world? What the media should be investigating is just how badly the US populace has been educated over the last decades to be so easily swayed. Instead, they ask panels of people to...
