By Jonathon Van Maren On the heels of the recent news that Ontario rented a giant rubber duck for Canada’s 150th Anniversary at the hefty price of $150,000—with no one being able to explain what this duck actually has to do with Canada or anything that has happened in the last 150 years—comes this simultaneously…
By Jonathon Van Maren Scott Gilmore, an occasional writer for Maclean’s, is so obviously not a conservative that his byline states that he “is a member of the Conservative party, and is married to a Liberal cabinet member.” This must be stated explicitly, because there is literally no other way to tell that Gilmore possesses…
By Jonathon Van Maren Right on schedule, Canadian judges are suddenly discovering enormous loopholes in Canada’s euthanasia law and expanding the right to assisted suicide. From The Daily Mail: A 77-year-old woman with osteoarthritis should be allowed to have euthanasia in Canada, a judge has ruled. The patient, known only as AB, was diagnosed with the…
By Jonathon Van Maren In the wake of Trump’s excellent speech in Warsaw earlier this week, the Left promptly lost its mind. As I noted in my column on the speech, Trump eloquently outlined the threats posed to Western Civilization, explained the necessity of the Judeo-Christian values undergirding it, and held up the long struggle…
By Jonathon Van Maren Pride Month erupted across North America with more fanfare than usual this year, with the Left strangling itself with the noose of intersectionality and once-celebratory marches devolving into brawls between Black Lives Matter, trans activists, and even pro-Palestinian marchers, who successfully got the Jews kicked out of Chicago’s “Dyke March.” Understandably,…
By Jonathon Van Maren As I noted last week, it is increasingly obvious that those who subscribe to the ever-evolving transgender craze have completely lost grip on reality, to the shock and dismay of many run-of-the-mill liberals who aren’t quite sure what this whole hodge-podge of drag queens, castration, mastectomies and mental illness is really…
By Jonathon Van Maren I’m not sure who runs the Twitter account of the Halton Police Force, but considering the warnings of experts like Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on the free speech implications of the new transgender “rights” and Bill 89 in Ontario enshrining the right to a sex change as sacred, the decision to…
By Jonathon Van Maren Abortion activists are afraid that Donald Trump’s presidency could end legal abortion in America. That’s a sentence I never thought I’d write, and to be honest, I think that abortion activists are perhaps overstating the case. For starters, they need to overstate their case—it’s true that pro-lifers are pressing their advantage…
By Jonathon Van Maren For those of you unfamiliar with the details of an awful story unfolding in Great Britain, little Charlie Gard is a ten-month baby who suffers from a rare genetic condition. In spite of the fact that he also has brain damage, Charlie is extraordinarily fortunate to have something else, as well—loving…
By Jonathon Van Maren It is perhaps somewhat ironic that the last time Americans were informed this incessantly of the threat Russia posed to the United States, it was called the Soviet Union and the Left was insisting that everything was being overblown. This time, in spite of a glaring lack of evidence, it is…
