The notion that the Internet is a cesspool of Misinformation while our news agencies and political institutions deal in nothing but the truth, is absurd. The moral and intellectual diversity of the species is reflected everywhere. On Mar. 26, Katherine Maher, CEO of America’s National Public Radio, responded to various Republicans Congressmen convinced that NPR, …

In 1997, American author/historian Jared Diamond published “Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies.” Winning the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 1998, the book would seem to epitomize the world-view of both our Western “intellectuals” and the Political Left over the last several decades. As stated by Wikipedia, Diamond argues “against the idea …

Two wonderful human beings with whom I have become familiar over the last few months illustrate the superficiality of the Marxist concept of Materialistic Determinism, the Leftist notion that people who fail to excel are invariably victims of the “oppressive” circumstances to which they were born. Both Mosab Yousef and Narges Mohammadi in fact epitomize …

On March 13, British Columbia’s College of Nurses ruled against Amy Hamm who, while never having mistreated anyone of a Trans Identity consigned to her care, was nevertheless deemed to be utterly unprofessional in her insistence that Nature’s Norm consists of Two Genders from which all others are deviations. Her politically incorrect views became eminently …

On Mar. 29, Hamilton’s conspicuously Leftist newspaper, The Spectator, published a lengthy piece on David Gomez-Rodriguez, a Mexican who had come to Canada in the spring of 2023 claiming refugee status. Six months later, in Dec. of that year, he was arrested for smashing a dinner plate over the head of an individual who was …

When the vast majority of one’s friends seem to share the same world-view, those not prone to rational introspection simply fall victim to the dominant political biases of their era. It is that state of mindless acquiescence that has led even my most educated of acquaintances to fall in line with many of the truly …
Just came across a wonderful quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky who, over 150 years ago, epitomized the absurdity of the contemporary Left’s obsession with Inclusiveness in a single sentence. It reads: “Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles.” Such has been the …
On Nov. 9, in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s victory, Canada’s Globe and Mail published a massive opinion piece consisting of more than two dozen paragraphs by Andrew Coyne whose affiliation with both The Globe and the CBC aptly suggests the Leftist bias of his worldview. Entitled “Sometimes the people get it wrong,” the article, …

A few weeks ago the ladies of The View spent a good deal of time roasting Trump’s White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. The nature of their attacks illustrates perfectly why this Blog is called “The Politics of Hate.” Whoopi referred to Leavitt as a Barbie, a word that is no less reductive, insulting and …

Mark Carney, Canada’s new Prime Minister, recently held his first press conference from which the conservative Rebel News Network was banned. This was hardly a surprise inasmuch as the Trudeau government had repeatedly spurned the network as a hateful disseminator of far-right lies. I subscribe to The Rebel and see its various commentators as rational, …
