“So far this season, we expect that almost all of the wildfires we’ve experienced so far this year are human-caused,” said Alberta’s minister of forestry and parks, Todd Loewen. So far in 2024, the provincial wildfire team has responded to 205 wildfires that have burned approximately 755 hectares, confirmed Alberta’s wildfire provincial information officer, Josee St-Onge.
True North previously reported that other provinces’ wildfires were overwhelmingly caused by human activity and that the number of total fires and total area burned in Canada is lower than in 1980 — the furthest the data goes back.

Over twenty-five years ago, Canadian historian J. L. Granatstein claimed that most Canadian students were receiving an inadequate education in Canadian history. This study provides a snapshot into two of the largest Canadian provinces–Ontario and British Columbia–assessing whether the same is true today.
The curriculum guides for British Columbia elementary and high school students are lacking in Canadian history content, leaving it largely up to individual teachers’ interpretation, with a disproportionate focus on historical discrimination – failing to give students a solid foundational knowledge of the nation’s past, finds a new study released today.
In poll after poll after poll, Canadians are making it abundantly clear that there’s one big thing this country wants:
LESS JUSTIN TRUDEAU.
On the Liberals signature play for political recovery – the ‘tax the rich’ capital gains hike – 46% of Canadians call it a mistake, while 31% say it’s a good idea. 24% say they don’t know.
Those are disastrous numbers for the Liberals, because it indicates Canadians have quickly realized that the ‘rich’ category encompasses far more people than the Liberals like to pretend.
Meanwhile, 49% of Canadians view the budget negatively, while 21% view it positively.
And a mere 12% of Canadians think the budget will help them.

In those places where direct observation is in short supply, experts will abound.
When virtue-shielded systems fail, those who operate them fail to observe that failure.
If a scientific field refrains from testing its preferred hypothesis, it is petitioning for royal status.
An ideology that cannot be defended by means of evidence and deductive logic, will inevitably be enforced by violence.
It has become common to lament the public crisis of trust in science, experts, and institutions, but much of the decline in trust is deserving. When the public senses that researchers and academic journals are attempting to leverage their scientific authority to advance particular political goals, it ironically undermines that very authority. But we need researchers and academic journals to help inform (but not dictate) critical societal decisions. Scientific institutions just must earn back the public’s trust by demonstrating intellectual humility, a disinterest in how results come out, and by showing that they are open to a wide diversity of opinion and vigorous debate on contested topics.

Rev. Marcin Mironiuk described the alleged discovery of unmarked graves as 'lies' and 'manipulation,' and said that Indigenous children in residential schools died of natural causes.
Mironiuk's comments came following the alleged discovery of unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
During the spring of 2021, ground-penetrating radar surveys conducted near former Indian Residential Schools claimed to show anomalies resembling children's graves. This discovery triggered nationwide protests, leading to the destruction or vandalism of more than 100 Canadian churches and the toppling of statues in nearly every major city. It's been two-and-a-half years since the purported discovery, and no evidence exists to prove the Kamloops unmarked graves claim.

POS Justin Trudeau was asked by a 'cued up' CBC reporter his thoughts on Pierre Poilievre speaking with "Axe the Tax" protesters and reportedly calling everything the PM says "bulls**t."
POS Trudeau uses the Marxist technique of accusing Poilievre of doing the very things he himself is doing, and has done.
Trudeau's legacy: dividing Canadians, lying, corruption, aligning with despots, creating mountains of debt for future generations to carry, making everyday life unaffordable, worsening drug addiction/crime/homlessness, squandering tax money on useless endeavors in Canada and overseas, etc.
A 74-year old tax expert with a passion for civic involvement, community affairs, and empowering local youth has bewilderingly become the most notorious woman in the small city of Quesnel, B.C.
Pat Morton has been facing fervour online and in the Quesnel city council chambers for the apparently heinous act of recommending a bestselling book.
Morton, the wife of Quesnel mayor Ron Paull and herself a former city councillor, was surfing Amazon for books to read and came across Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (and the Truth about Residential Schools), a collection of essays debunking the mainstream narrative that the Indian residential schools of the 1870s to 1990s were institutions of genocide.

A British Columbia NDP MLA is trying to get taxpayers to fund a no-whites-allowed committee to “eliminate systemic racism.”
MLA Niki Sharma has proposed the creation of a “racialized” committee under Bill 23, the Anti-Racism Act. If passed, the committee would create a framework for the province to combat racism.

Bret talks with Forest about his book and his interpretation of the evidence with an evolutionary bent to the conversation.

It's been nearly four years to the day since the Liberal government prohibited more than 1,500 types of firearms and set in motion a "buyback" to confiscate the lawfully-owned guns from their owners. Since then, not a single gun has been acquired.
Also, a massive U.N. summit has convened in Ottawa with the goal of setting up a "plastics treaty." Andrew discusses with Chris DeArmitt of Phantom Plastics.

Antisemitism has become the new normal in Canada with the tacit or even explicit endorsement of political leaders.
Earlier this week, a jury in Lethbridge, Alberta, found Marco Van Huigenbos, George Janzen, and Alex Van Herk, guilty of ‘Mischief’. If you went online and witnessed the near universal conflation of their case with that of Chris Carbert and Tony Olienick, still held in ‘remand’ as the two remaining of the Coutts Four, one might come away feeling that the parties guilty of mischief are the government and the media, whose campaigns of disinformation, omission, and silence, have lead to the rampant confusion.
