When I ponder the lives of the Bronte sisters, Emily, Charlotte and Anne, I am literally moved to tears. Emily died of tuberculosis in 1848, aged 30. Anne was felled by the same disease in 1849 at the age of 29. Charlotte managed to live ’til 1855 when, aged 39, she would expire of complications …

The Hoax of “Critical Thinking”
In the Toronto Star of July 2, Catherine Anderson, a longtime university professor in the fields of gender studies and linguistics, defends the application of “critical thinking” to her two subjects. Various students over the years, she says, have complained that her courses were “too political.” But simply presenting them with the facts without teaching …
You can always get Half the Truth in the N.Y. Times
The N. Y. Times International supplement of July1-2 included an article by Nicholas Kristof entitled: The Hunter Biden Saga and Its Real Lesson. In it Kristof celebrates Joe’s love for his drug addicted son while lamenting the horrible impact such addictions are having across the U.S.. The “real lesson” of the saga in question, apparently, …

Some Classic Leftist “Logic”
In my last blog I cited Charles Murray’s 1994 book “The Bell Curve” which provided statistical evidence that the species’ various races are genetically programmed somewhat differently. In the broadest terms, Whites and Asians are on average slightly more intelligent and slightly less temperamentally prone to criminality than Blacks and Hispanics. This thesis, of course, …

Legal Corruption both North and South of the Border!
In the States, an investigation is presently under way into the possibly criminal behavior of Hunter Biden and ultimately, perhaps, the corruption of his entire family.

Culturally Insane and Proud of it!
The Toronto District School Board is presently seeking to increase the racial sensitivity of its no doubt predominantly White staff. One of the consulting firms so employed is the KOJO Institute founded by Kike Ojo-Thompson. Two “training” sessions conducted by her in 2021 led Richard Bilkszto, a former principal and 24 year veteran of the …
Intellectual is NOT a Synonym for Intelligent!
Did you know the geniuses on the revered Nobel Peace Prize committee nominated Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin as candidates for that award?
What if their last name was Trump?
Investigations into the highly questionable foreign business dealings of Hunter Biden and the role his father played in them when he was vice president, have recently been the topic of discussion of many of the online “conservative” sites to which I subscribe. While I have accumulated about 20 pages of notes on this subject, I …
