Walt goes to the movies - "Zootopia 2"

In "Zootopia 2 Proves All Box Office Failure Excuses are Lies" Breitbart News' John Nolte reports that over the Thanksgiving weekend, the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s Zootopia 2 grossed $556 million worldwide, $156 million domestically. A pretty amazing counterpoint to what entgertainment industry "experts" call "the ongoing collapse of the box office".

The "experts" say that people are shunning Hollywood's shoddy slop not because of appeal or quality, but for reasons completely unrelated to the fact that the industry is run by political leftists determined to push the DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity) agenda.

They're producing movies filled with political messaging, obnoxious girlbosses, gay stuff, and woketard record scratches, and all sorts of other loony liberal propaganda. As Walt found out yesterday, Disney has its own "Diversity and Inclusion" team, which gets a credit near end of the length scroll following Zootopia 2.

The libtards running the show seem totally unaware that the not-so-liberal general public -- people like you and me -- are fed up with the DEI crap... sick, sore and tired of it. So when a young lady of whom I am quite fond asked to be taken to see Zootopia 2, I asked myself; why should I go and see another lousy product from a tired and out-of-touch bunch of  wokesters.

But (I thought) the original Zootopia was pretty good, in spite of the DEI sub-text, and if "Flash" (the sloth who works at the DMV) is going to be in the sequel, he'll be good for a laugh. So I watched the trailer...

... and decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did. Zootopia 2 is better (IMHO) than the original. Of course it's still all about equity and inclusion, celebrating our differences, working together for a woke new society yada yada yada, but the main story line is strong enough that you aren't bothered by the quiet propaganda. There's lots of action, a plot which is simple enough to follow (maybe not for pre-teens), and the animation and characterization are excellent! 👍👍👍👍 (out of five)

We return then to Mr Nolte's article. "If Zootopia 2 can make $556 million over a single weekend (he writes), why can't everything else? That’s not a sarcastic question, and the answer is an easy one: because not every movie has the same broad appeal as Zootopia 2. That’s not a criticism. It’s just a fact. 

"The answer to so many box office bombs, however, is decidedly not these relentless lies and crybaby excuses of: COVID, streaming, theatrical window, whine, whine, whine, whine… No, not every movie can deliver the same broad appeal of a Zootopia 2, but…and this is important…enough people all over the world obviously, obviously still want to go to the movies if the movie holds some appeal for them.

"The problem is that Hollywood removed sex appeal and sensuality (unless it's gay sex appeal and sensuality). The problem is that Hollywood chose divisive political messaging over universal appeal and themes. The problem is that Hollywood chose to alter and poison human nature with so much woke, no one can relate to the characters or their relationships. 

"Movies like Zootopia 2...prove one thing: Americans still love going to the movies, and what’s stopping them is not StreamingCOVIDTheatricalWindow. What’s stopping them is a a smug, spoiled, bigoted, and insulated industry that hates its own customers."

Noted in passing:

- Being a cheap SOB, I went on a Tuesday afternoon when admission at the Fort Mudge cinema is half-price. Even so, the auditorium was no more than 20% full. Maybe it''s because it was a school day.

- The aforementioned cinema doesn't have a ticket window any more. If you haven't booked online (a buck extra for the "administration fee"!) you can get your ticket at an ATM-like machine in the lobby, or from the pimple-faced kid who sells you the popcorn-like snacks.

- The lobby of yesteryear has been transformed into an arcade where the slack-jawed yokels can play more-or-less violent games like Exterminator and Transformers until their thirst for flashing lights and loud noises has been quenched. Not recommended for those prone to seizures.

- The cinema now offers a gadget -- a tiny screen mounted on a flex pipe that fits into your cup-holder -- which displays subtitles in English or ??? for those who can't keep up. The screen is low-light, green-on-black, quite unobtrusive, and a good idea. 

That's Walt's one-and-only movie review for this year. I just might go again next year, by which time I'm sure there'll be a Zootopia 3!

Pray the Christmas Novena, beginning today

We are pleased to pass along an invitation too all Catholics from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter to pray the Christmas Novena which begins today, 17 December. Thank you for participating as you are capable of doing. Remember that a little is always better than nothing! May God reward you,

Agimus Tibi Gratias 

We give you thanks, Almighty God, for all your blessings: who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen. 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Are these warnings really necessary?

A lot of the snivel servants who make up the ever-expanding nanny state have nothing better to do than mandate warnings about health and safety issues, for the benefit of inDuhviduals (Scott Adams coined that word) who are totally lacking in common sense. Like these.

To be fair, some of these are in response to outrageous awards given by (mostly) American courts for pain, suffering, and emotional distress caused by such things as burning the tongue on a McDo's apple pie fresh out of the microwave. I blame greedy, ambulance-chasing, tort lawyers like the infamous Jackie Chiles. A pox on them and their equally greedy inDuhvidual clients.

VIDEO: Scott Adams deserves an award for courage

Early in 2023, Scott Adams, creator of the super-popular Dilbert comic strip, said the quiet part out loud. 

In a YouTube comment on a Rasmussen Reports poll in which black people were asked to agree or disagree with the phrase "It's OK to be white", Mr Adams, who is white, said that black people who disagreed with the statement were a "hate group." He added, "I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people…because there is no fixing this." 

The PC police, led by the Washington Post and the New York Times, accused Mr Adams of racism, and that his remarks "promoted segregation." Imagine that! In the opinion of many, including yr obdt servant, what he said wasn't racism, but realism. 

The knee-jerk reaction of the Los Angeles Times, the USA Today group, and almost all the papers in which Dilbert appeared was to cancel the strip, effectively cancelling Scott Adams' career. He predicted that most of his income would be gone within weeks. by next week. 

Mr Adams refused to be silenced, and started a vlog called "Coffee With Scott Adams", published on Rumble and, more recently, on YouTube. It was on his vlog that he announced, last May, that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. The cancer has spread to his bones. It is only treatable, not curable. 

Scott Adams is effectively under a death sentence, but he is keeping up the vlog, now known as "No Coffee With Scott Adams", even while undergoing -- and that's surely the right word -- radiation treatment. His livestream offers a candid hospital update, along with discussions on current events and personal reflections. Here's today's instalment.

No matter what one thinks of Mr Adams' political views, it's impossible to watch him struggle to keep keep talking, smiling (as best he can) through his tears, without feeling sympathetic. IMHO he deserves an award of some kind. The only award we have at WWW is the Wally, but that's not appropriate, so we offer instead our thoughts and prayers... seriously.

UPDATED: Bondi Beach terrorists pledged allegiance to ISIS

It's just past 1400 FMT. Here's the latest information we have on the terrorists -- so described by the Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia -- responsible for the atrocity at Bondi Beach, near Sydney NSW, today. (Scroll down for our initial report, with video.) 

New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon told the meeja a couple of hours ago that the investigation into the shooting has "progressed" overnight and confirms officers aren't looking for a further gunman. He said the two shooters involved were a father and son aged 50 and 24. The father died at the scene -- apparently shot by police -- while the son remains in hospital in critical condition.

In response to questions from journos, Insp. Lanyon said the "50-year-old male" (he said "father" only once) was a licenced firearms holder and had six firearms linked to him. The cops think those six firearms were used in the "offences" on Bondi Beach, he said, adding that he vows to investigate the matter thoroughly. 

Oh really? When asked whether the two shooters were known to the police and whether he will comment on reports that a black ISIS flag was found at the scene, the inspector said he wouldn't go into specifics or speculation. "We will look at the motives behind this attack and I think it is important as part of the investigation," he said, adding that there was no indication suggesting that either of the men involved in yesterday's shooting was planning the attack.

On really? Are we to believe that they just happened to be carrying six (count `em, 6) firearms -- as well as two "active improved devices"! -- as they went to see the Jews celebrate Hannukah on the world-famous beach? 

When asked for the names of the perps, which must have been known to the police in order to obtain search warrants and find out about the firearm licences, Inspector Lanyon declined to answer, saying that was part of the investigation.

But... woops!!!... someone said the quiet part out loud. Listen carefully.

For those who couldn't quite understand the bingo-caller's accent, here's the name and the sources. The Jerusalem Post reported that the 24-year-old, whose name is Naveed Akram is a Muslim man of Pakistani origin, who had studied at Central Queensland University in Sydney. He was also previously associated with Hamdard University in Islamabad and the Al Murad Institute. 

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), citing a law enforcement source, said Mr Akram was a resident of Sydney's south-western suburb of Bonnyrigg. Police raided his home on Sunday evening as part of the investigation. According to the Daily Mail, the Akram family has owned the Bonnyrigg property for about a year.

I think that's enough for us to run, once again, the same old South Park meme.

Walt wishes (Don't you?) that the two non-Christian Abrahamic religions would confine their wars of extremination to their own turf... say no more than 1000 miles from Armageddon.

UPDATED 15/12/25 with report from Breitbart News: "Father-Son Duo Terror Suspects Reportedly Pledged Allegiance to ISIS Before Bondi Beach Attack - The suspected father and son terrorist duo who killed at least 15 during a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration on Sunday were previously investigated by Australian intelligence for ties to the so-called Islamic State, and ISIS flags were reportedly found in their car after the apparent antisemitic attack."

BREAKING! "Allahu akbar!" in Australia? VIDEO

It's way to early on a Sunday morning for me to deal with this. The mojo wire is spitting oud disturbing news from the Land of Oz. New South Wales Police say 11 people have been killed in a shooting at Bondi Beach targeting the Jewish community. 29, including a child, have been taken to hospital. 

Over 1000 people had gathered at the famous beach for a celebration marking the start of Hanukkah. One of the shooters was fatally shot by police and another was arrested after having been tackled by a bystander. Yes, we have video!

It's likely they were the gunmen were... errr... not Jews. So what were they, then? Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called an act of antisemitism and terrorism. He did not use words beginning with "M" or "I". Ed. put a question mark in the headline because we know what you're thinking. Prove us wrong!

Your Singhs today: "We're not gangstas; we're refugees!"

Walt resents suggestions that he thinks all Sikhs are actual or potential criminals and detriments to Canadian society. There are good people and bad people in every ethnic group, and of course there are good Sikhs trying to make better lives for themselves in Canada and the USA than they good have had back home in "Khalistan".

Sikhs can be not just the perpetrators but victims of brown crime. This coming Sunday, three Canadian Sikh organizations will hold a town hall meeting in Surrey BC to discuss "Indian transnational repression and extortion", which they say has reached "crisis level". In a poster promoting the event, the organizers say "Families, businesses, and community members are facing intimidation, threats, and violence that no Canadian should ever experience."

Who are the criminals terrorizing Sikhs, you might ask. The answer is, other Indians of a different religious persuasion... or none at all. Over a year ago, the RCMP warned that Indian government agents -- including diplomatic and consular officials -- were involved in "serious criminal activity in Canada", including extortion. But, in spite of the Liberal government's push to mend fences with India, the latter refuses to acknowledge its alleged role in violent crimes, never mind promising to stop.

Investigations into the extortions of  "South Asian" business owners in BC's Lower Mainland, Brampton ON and Edmonton AB, have led to several arrests and charges. Indian crime groups such as the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which Canada listed as a terrorist group in September, have been demanding exorbitant payoffs from business owners and others. After threatening victims by phone, gang leaders in India will then send local foot soldiers to conduct arsons and shootings to pressure them to pay up. 

The obvious way to put a stop to the criminality in the Indo-Canadian community [sic] would be to deport the criminals. But there's a small problem -- Canada's ridiculously liberal policies on asylum-seekers and "refugees".

Last September, the British Columbia government formed an extortion task force, led by the Mounties and immigration officers, to tackle "organized-crime activity involved in extortion-related threats." It is led by the RCMP and composed of police and immigration officers. As of last week, the Canadian Border Services Agency had opened 96 investigations into foreigners identified by the task force. Then this happened.

Here's the problem in graphic form.  11 of the ciminals were found to be in "non-compliance" -- not in Canada legally -- and were issued removal orders. Surprisingly, 5 of those were actually deported. 14 other individuals who attracted attention from the task force were referred to the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board, which stops the deportation process dead. 

Their cases are now on hold until the IRB decides what to do with them. A spokesthingy for the IRB told Canada's Global TV News he would not comment further on the matter. Nor would he respond when asked if all were citizens of India. 

The vice-chair of immigration at the Canadian Bar Association’s BC branch, whose name is Amandeep Hayer (no relation), said the suspects' alleged involvement in crime could still be raised during their refugee hearings, and the IRB could... maybe... possibly... reject their claims for asylum on the grounds they are inadmissible to Canada for criminality.

Meanwhile, according to Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland, the "suspects" have succeeded in delaying their deportations for years. Mr Kurland blamed a backlog of refugee cases, "because Ottawa refuses to resource the IRB to provide expeditious hearings to prevent four-year waits. They just bought four years in Canada, with subsidized health. If they want to go to school, that’s subsidized, and if they need public assistance, that's subsidized by the taxpayer."

O Cana-duh!

VIDEO: Canadiens hockey quiz

by Poor Len Canayen, National Sports Editor

Question: What does Jacob Fowler, the Montréal Canadiens hot rookie goaltender, have in common with Habs Hall of Fame* all-star goalies Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, and Carey Price?

Ummmm... Can we have a clue? Who's Jacob Fowler? Ed.

Try to keep up, Hed! Jacob Fowler (born 24 November 2004) is an American professional hockey player who tends goal for la Sainte Flannelle. He was selected by the Habs in the third round, 69th overall, in the 2023 NHL entry draft, and played his first regular season game last night in the Canadiens' 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Here are the RDS video highlights.

Answer: Last night Jacob Fowler became the fourth Habs goalie to play and win his first NHL game in Pittsburgh. His predecessors were Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, and Carey Price, all of whom went on to become superstars. 

*OK, unlike Dryden and Roy, Price never had his name inscribed on the Stanley Cup, and has not yet been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. But next year he's a sure-fire bet to be elected to the HHOF, on the first round of voting. For sure!

Tired of seeing those BLM graffiti?

Your Singhs today (not your typical Sikh trucker)

Not all of the many Sikhs appearing before His Majesty's courts in the Canadian province of Ontario are involved in drug smuggling or the dangerous driving of 18-wheelers. Some of them have other... errr... vocations. 

Police in Guelph ON say a man responsible for stealing more than C$300,000 ($215,000 in real money) worth of products from Liquor Control Board of Ontario stores across the province has been sentenced to five years in prison. 

A statement released yesterday says that in May of 2024, Guelph Police officers, along with LCBO officials, "identified a suspect believed to have committed more than 100 thefts from LCBO stores…including 10 in Guelph."

A spokesthingy for the cops told the Wellington Advertiser the list included a $600 theft from the Fergus LCBO in March 2023. Police say officers tracked the suspect to St. Catharines, where he was found sleeping in a stolen vehicle that was used in some of the crimes. "With assistance from members of the Niagara Regional Police Service the vehicle was blocked in," stated the press release. "The man was awakened but rammed several cruisers in an attempt to flee before he was finally arrested."

The man, now identified as Davinder Singh (not exactly as pictured), 28, of no fixed address. (The truck isn't "fixed", you see. Geddit?) He pled guilty in Guelph court to a long list of charges, including vehicle theft, dangerous driving, assault with a weapon and several counts of theft over $5000. He will spend the next five years (or less) of his life as His Majesty's guest (read: at taxpayers' expense). Whether he will be deported after his release is not clear.

Note from Ed.: For some reason, Canada's larger media outlets, such as the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration, did not disclose the name of the perp. We are grateful to small local papers, like the Wellington Advertiser, for having the courage to confirm what everyone suspected.

VIDEO: "Making a Killing" - documentary on the residential schools hoax

If you watched Michael Matt's video on the Canadian Residential Schools Hoax, posted here earlier today, you may have noticed an image of the title screen for the documentary, "Making a Killing", produced by the OneBC Caucus and released on December 2nd. Walt is pleased to be able to bring this to you today. 

The subtitle of the full-length film is "Reconciliation, Genocide, and Plunder in Canada". It exposes the massive scandal behind the taking of wealth, land, and power from the Canadian public to benefit indigenous tribes. 

It debunks the worst lie in Canadian history: the lie that 215 bodies were found at the Kamloops Residential School and that Canadians committed a mass murder against indigenous children.

"Making a Killing" is the first documentary film produced by an elected caucus. To find out about OneBC -- a British Columbia party on the right side of many issues (geddit?) -- click here to visit their home page. If you decide to join or support them, tell `em Walt sent ya!

VIDEO: Canuck residential schools hoax debunked

In the two years since the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation's 2021 announcement about the location of 215 potential unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in the Canadian province of British Columbia, a number of priests, pundits, and politicians have downplayed and questioned the validity of the findings. 

Some have declared the news of potential unmarked graves at many former residential school sites across Canada to be a 'huge lie". Others insist that the lamestream media, the Canadian government, and First Nations have conspired to created a hoax by misrepresenting the news of potential unmarked burials sites as a "mass grave" to shock and guilt Canadians into caring about Indigenous Peoples and the woke shibboleth of "reconciliation". 

Predictably, the usual suspects in the human rights and reparations industry scrambled to disprove the media conspiracy argument by finding some graves. Meanwhile they encouraged the anti-religious left to "burn it all down", resulting in almost 100 churches, mostly Catholic, being burned by arsonists who were never caught... not that any serius attempt was made so to do.

Well, guess what, folks? The "residential schools denialists", such as Candace Owens, Tom Flanagan and our old friend Michael Matt, were right! The vilification of the residential schools and the Catholic Church was all an enormous lie, all part of the conspiracy of the anti-Christian, One-Worlders to destroy the Church. And the wokesters in the New Church of Francis fell for it... hook, line and sinker. Indeed, some of the hierarchs are among the conspirators!

In this video, excerpted from "THE CATHOLIC FACTOR: Cristeros, Canadians, and Candace Owens", the latest from The Remnant Underground, Mr Matt gives the residential schools hoax as just one example of  the Neomasonic Revolution firing up the Christophobic mob, and what Christians should do to stand up to it!

VIDEO: Holiday treats on "The Delicious Dish"

Ed. here. Walt needed a few days off to get into the Christmas spirit. Boy, did he get into it! Ma Nifkin's Jellied Gin is strong stuff! But he has recovered now, and will write thoughtful and clever thoughts about politics and religion as soon as there's anything worth writing about.

Meanwhile, `tis the season for saccharine-sweet Hallmark movies and other mind-numbing Christmas shows on the idiot's lantern. Today we bring you a Christmas classic, from the Saturday Night Live Season 24 Christmas show, which aired in 1998.*

In this skit, National Public Radio hosts Margaret Jo McCullin (Ana Gasteyer) and Terry Rialto (Molly Shannon) welcome baker Pete Schweddy (Alec Baldwin) to "The Delicious Dish" to discuss his famous holiday dessert: Schweddy balls.

* Can you believe that SNL actually called it a "Christmas show"? That was 27 years ago, when they were only leftish, not yet totally woke. Since then, this bit has been viewed on YouTube nearly 10.5 million times!

Just because it's a stereotype doesn't mean it's not true.

Poor Len Canayen looks at the Habs at Thanksgiving

Ed. here. It's axiomatic in the NHL that if your favourite team isn't in playoff position by the end of American Thanksgiving weekend, they're going to hit the golf links in April. Here's our National Sports (as long as it's hockey) Editor to tell us how the Montréal Canadiens are faring? Will they be in the post-season this coming spring?

Tank youse, Hed. The quick answer to your question would be "Le Canadien sera là!"... but the Atlantic Division has been so tight this season that the conventional wisdom may not hold. Only 10 points separate the first-place Tampa Bay Lightning from perennial cellar-dwellers, Buffalo Sabres.

La Sainte Flannelle are in 3rd place, the last guaranteed playoff spot in the Atlantic, with a record of 13-8-3 and 29 points, an average of .604. That's one more point than the Ottawa Senators. 

If the playoffs started tomorrow, the Habs would meet their long-time rivals, the Boston Bruins. What a match-up that would be, just like old times. But can the Canadiens hold onto their position? They were on fire in October and the first week of November, but then got hit hard by injuries and only this week seem to be pulling out of a slump. As imjured players -- Patrik Laine, Kirby Dach, Alex Newhook and Kaiden Guhle -- return... or not... coach Martin St-Louis will have to make some changes to the lineup to keep the team competitive.

Forwards: The injury to Laine turned out to be a bit of blessing, relieving the coach of the headache of figuring out what to do with him. He started on the second line with Ivan Demidov on the right and Dach in the centre. Laine scored some goals, true, but the lack of cohesion with the other two was evident and he was dropped down to fourth line before getting injured. Don't be surprised if he gets traded or sent to Laval for "reconditioning". He won't be missed.

A revamped second line centred by Newhook, with Juraj Slafkovsky and Demidov on the wing, seemed to work well until Newhook went to the infirmary. But it left the question of who to put on the first line with Cole Caufield and Captain Nick Suzuki. Recently the choice has been Zach Bolduc, who was hot for the first week of the season and then kind of disappeared. He has scored in the two most recent games but doesn't look like a top-line guy from where I sit.

Demidov, like Lane Hutson, has been a treat to watch, if maybe a bit too flashy. Just shoot the puck, eh! But the line of Slafkovsky and Demidov with Oliver Kapanen at centre is OK and will improve as Demidov improves. The 3rd-line veterans Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson, are getting older and slower but are doing well enough with Jake Evans between them. They'll be fine when Dach gets back.

The bad news is that the players named above are about all the Habs have up front. Centre Joe Veleno has turned out to be a dud, with one only goal and -9. Five forwards, who we'll leave nameless to protect them from embarrassment, have been called up from Laval and haven't made any appreciable difference. The Habs will be lucky to have three decent lines, once the injured recover.

Defence: Kaiden Guhle has been missed. When he was playing, either Arber Xhekaj or Jayden Struble could be left to watch from the press box and the D-corps would still be OK. Until Guhle gets back the coach has to play them both, and Xhekaj is more hindrance than help. He likes to hit, he likes to fight, and he likes to shoot the puck, albeit wildly. He has one only assist and is -6. Not a guy you can depend on to support a struggling goaltending tandem.

The other defencemen are doing as well as can be expected, perhaps better. Veteran Mike Matheson is having his best year yet and just got rewarded with a 5-year contract extension. Noah Dobson has proved to be a good acquisition and is warming to his role as quarterback of the second power-play unit. 

Alex Carrier is underrated -- unspectacular but reliable. Lane Hutson is the opposite, although I don't want to be too critical of someone who is so much fun to watch. Look up "puck control" in the hockey dictionary and you'll see his picture. One can compare him with Demidov, but the risks that a forward take often backfire on a D-man.

Goaltenders: I left the difficult topic for the last. In October we were full of hopes for Jakub Dobeš, and full of disappointment with Samuel Montembault  In his first three starts,  Dobeš has a GAA of 1.0, and looked likely to take the starter's spot, leaving Monty as the backup. Now the goalies, instead of being 1A and 1B, look more like 2A and 2B. Help!

Dobes is 8-3-2 with a GAA of 3.22 and a save percentage of 0.888, Montembault's numbers are 5-5-1, 3.49 and 0.864. How caN a team with that kind of goaltending be in third place in their group, with a differential of -3? Beats me! I can only say that if they're going to make the playoffs, the Habs will need to find another goalie.

Kaapo Kähkönen, down in Laval, has never in his NHL career been much more than a backup goalie. The hot prospect is Jacob Fowler, who's been on a tear with the Rocket. But... he's in the first year of a 3-year entry-level contract, and he's supposed to play in Laval until his skills are fully developed! Can Montréal take the risk of bringing him up to the big club too soon? Or could he prove to be the next iteration of goalie superstar Ken Dryden? Stay tuned.

Note from Ed.: We regret that space does not permit us to conclude with Poor Len's prediction. 😉 Watch this space.

Your Singhs today (marriage/immigration fraud edition)

To understand this story properly, you need to know that all Sikh men have "Singh" as either a middle name or a surname. "Kaur" is a common name for Sikh women. 

An Ontario man who admitted to participating in two ‘sham’ marriages to help Indian women immigrate to Canada in return for services and cash has failed in his efforts to prove he's married to the mother of his three children. 

Amratpal Singh Sidhu asked Ontario's Superior Court of Justice for a declaration that he's legally married to Amandeep Kaur. She was looking for a judge to say the opposite. Neither party divulged why it matters if they’re married or not. In a decision released on 12 November, Madam Justice Frances Wood wrote, "He openly admitted to participating in two ‘sham’ marriages, for financial gain and in an effort to dupe Canadian immigration authorities.

"For many years, he declared himself single for income tax purposes and, when transferring real estate, declared that he was not a spouse, which allowed him to transfer the properties without (Amandeep Kaur’s) consent. But, as (Sidhu) has made a claim for equalization in his application, this court infers that the importance relates to that claim – if the parties are not legally (married), he has no equalization claim."

An "equalization claim" is a legal process in Canadian family law where spouses seek a fair division of the property and debts accumulated during their marriage. 

The court heard Sidhu and Kaur met while they were both working at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, which frequent travellers know is staffed almost exclusively by Sikhs who live in the nearby Malton area of Brampton ON. "Both were residents of Ontario," said the judge. “They agreed to travel to India to get married. The wedding plans were made while the parties were in Ontario, and they then travelled together from Ontario to India shortly before the ceremony."

Both of them agree "that they participated in a traditional marriage ceremony in India on December 4, 1997," the judgment continues. Shortly after that Mr Sidhu "travelled to a nearby town…where he participated in what he refers to as a ‘sham’ marriage ceremony."

Mr Sidhu testified that "in exchange for care being provided to his ailing mother, he participated in this fake wedding to assist the ‘bride,’ Karamjit Kaur, in immigrating to Canada." Mr Sidhu and Karamjit Kaur divorced in Ontario in January 2001. "Despite (Sidhu’s) characterization of the second marriage as a ‘sham’, the fact is that it has been formally recognized in Ontario whereas there is no formal recognition nor registration of the parties’ alleged marriage either in Ontario or India," the judge wrote.

"The parties agree that polygamous marriages are not permitted pursuant to the Hindu Marriage Act. (Sidhu) cannot, therefore, have been married to both (Amandeep Kaur) and Karamjit Kaur." Mr Sidhu travelled to India again in 2022 "where he participated in yet another allegedly ‘sham’ marriage, once again with the aim of assisting the ‘bride’ in immigrating to Canada. This marriage was to Harjit Kaur. According to (Sidhu) Canadian authorities were not persuaded of the validity of the marriage and Harjit Kaur never did immigrate to Canada. There is a marriage certificate evidencing this marriage.

"Much was made by the parties as to whose idea the 2022 ‘sham’ marriage was. (Sidhu) insisted that Harjit Kaur is (Amandeep Kaur’s) cousin, and that (Amandeep Kaur) had been promised $40,000 to assist in the immigration process. He testified that (Amandeep Kaur and their child) were present at the ‘marriage’ ceremony. (Amandeep Kaur) denied this."

On several occasions between 2000 and 2017, the judge continued, "(Sidhu) described himself as single and common-law on Income Tax filings and when transferring real property." Amandeep Kaur "described herself as married in her 2018 Income Tax Return, but as single in the other returns available to the court.

"She made some attempt to demonstrate that the relationship was ‘on and off’ to argue that they did not live together ‘as a married couple’ but does not deny that the parties lived together for at least some periods of time following the marriage. They have three children together. It is not necessary to determine that the parties lived together continuously from 1997 until their final separation."

Mr Sidhu alleges Amandeep Kaur "deliberately claimed that she was single and insisted that he do the same, to maximize her entitlement to certain tax benefits and credits. He testified that he declared himself single on income tax and real estate documents at (Amandeep Kaur’s) insistence."

Surprisingly, considering that this is a Wokontario court, the judge had concerns about the credibility of both parties. "Neither may rely on their own fraud to bolster their own position with respect to the validity of the marriage," Judge Wood said. "Where the court is left in serious doubt as to the credibility of either party, it must have resort to any uncontroverted evidence. Undisputed documentary evidence is particularly helpful."

When they returned to Canada in 1997, "both declared themselves single to different authorities. At no time did either obtain any sort of formal documentation recording their marriage." And "significantly," Mr Sidhu "married Karamjit Kaur immediately after the ceremony with (Amandeep Kaur). "That marriage has been considered to be valid by an Ontario court when it granted a divorce, a process in which (Sidhu) participated. Since polygamy is not permitted in India, (Sidhu) cannot have been married to both (Amandeep Kaur) and Karamjit Kaur. Whether the second marriage was entered into for immigration purposes or not, that is the marriage that (Sidhu) chose to have formally recognized."

The judge noted that "a valid marriage certificate has been produced" for when Sidhu "married yet again" to Harjit Kaur. Even if Amandeep Kaur "was an active participant" in that wedding, that doesn't help (Sidhu)’s case," the judge wrote. "Rather, it bolsters the conclusion that both understood they were not legally married. Neither party entered into the December 4, 1997 marriage with the intention that the marriage would be considered legally valid in Ontario."

So confusing when all the Sikhs have the same names. It must be fun in Canadian jails when the warders call out "Singh!" and everyone in the cellblock answers!

Innocent question: Will any of the parties to this fraud on the Canadian immigration system [sic] ever be deported? According to Statistics Canada, the odds of deportation orders being enforced are about 99 to 1 against!

Your Singhs today (Edmonton edition)

During the days of the Raj, particularly during World Wars I and II, the Sikhs of India (which included Pakistan, at that time), joined the British and Indian armies as drivers, mechanics, anything to do with motorized vehicles. There is no caste in Sikhism, so it seems they just naturally gravitated to such positions.

Nowadays Sikh drivers -- many of them graduates of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving -- are to be found all over Canada and parts of the US of A, working as drivers of big rigs transporting drugs (and other things) across the World's Longest Undefended BorderTM and causing mayhem on the Interstate and provincial superhighways. See WWW passim. 

If they can't get work as truck drivers, some of them turn to driving for rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft. Not much to do with drugs there, but plenty of opportunity for horny Punjabis to exercise their belief that all white women are sexually available.

Case in point: Gurvinder Singh Pannu, 32, of Edmonton AB, now charged with sexual assault after an incident last summer. Edmonton cops allege that the assault happened around 0200 on 30 June 2024, when a woman ordered an Uber in the downtown area [perhaps to take her to a sunrise church service? Ed.]

A dark grey 2023 Nissan Rogue SUV picked her up near 109th St. and 101th Ave. During the trip, police allege the man driving the SUV stopped the vehicle and sexually assaulted the woman. It's not known when the victim came forward. However, a suspect was arrested and charged this last August 30th.

"Following a thorough investigation, we were able to successfully arrest and charge (a) suspect," said Constable Mughees Jutt (not a Sikh) with the Edmonton Police Service's southwest branch. "We unfortunately believe that there are others who have been impacted by this individual and we would like them to come forward so we can investigate and provide them with appropriate supports."

Mr Pannu was released under conditions including: not going to India or Pakistan for a holiday; not working for a ride sharing or taxi service; not having direct or indirect contact with the female complainant; and not possessing weapons, including knives and firearms. Whether "knives" includes the kirpan that all good Sikhs must wear at all times was not made clear.

"Allahu akbar!" in D.C.

I'm sure all of you are following this story. Click here to read the "Allahu akbar!" report from Brietbart News. Then check out this news flash.

 

Yes, folks, the attacker who wounded two members of the National Guard (one of them mortally, it appears) is an Afghan national, one of the 1000s of our "friends" who helped us (LOL) in Afghanistan and then were imported by Demented Joe Biden without any vetting whatsoever. 

The theory is that less than 1% of those who weren't screened might be jihadis. If there were 2000 of them (who knows the real number?), 1/10th of 1% would be... let's see [he's using his calculator. Ed.], two... count `em, 2! But one (1) is all it takes to kill one or more of those who serve and protect.

The part that burns my ring is that the "authorities" are saying that Rahmanullah Lakanwal's motive remains unclear! They've sent him to a psychiatric hospital to have his wig picked. Want me to tell you what they're going to find? Nothing. Nothing! (Lifetime pct .987) 

He's just your typical Islamic extremist whose belief is that it is his duty to kill all infidels. Period. But our lickspittle media won't say that because... "Islamophobia", you know. Mustn't spread hatred. We all worship the same god, except that they call their version "Allah" and seem to have a different understanding than our God of what is to be done with unbelievers.

VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson on Ken Burns' "American Revolution"

In his Thanksgiving podcast, posted today [of course! Ed.], our old friend Victor Davis Hanson points out the underlying fallacy in Ken Burns "The American Revolution", which aired on PBS last week. 

Ed. didn't have time to edit out discussions on other topics, so I suggest you fast forward to 29:44, where Mr Hanson picks up on my initial reaction to the revisionist history, as written in "'The American Revolution' - Ken Burns' new, woke version" (WWW  18/11/25).

I agree with Mr Hanson (and his interlocutor Jack Fowler) that Mr Burns' The Civil War was a work of genius. Everything since then has been filtered through the lens of progressivism and DEI, so if you watch The American Revolution (I finally did watch the whole thing), take it cum magno grano salis.

The rest of the Mr Hanson's podcast is well worth watching too. Happy Thanksgiving!

A Thanksgiving message

No political message this year (although we did like President Trump's remarks as he pardoned the turkeys), just a simple wish from Walt, Poor Len [and Ed.! Ed.] to our American readers and/or friends...

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good: and His mercy endureth for ever. 

Psalm 117:1 (DRV)

Canuck Pretendian shocked to learn truth about himself

Looks like the US of A isn't the only country where Pretendians (e.g. Senator Elizabeth Warren) rise to lofty heights, only to fall with a thud when they are outed as being, errr... white. Canada has them too, and has had them for at least a century, going back to the time of Grey Owl, shown at left in a portrait by Yousuf Karsh.

Grey Owl, was a popular Canadian writer, public speaker and conservationist. Born an Englishman, he immigrated to Canada and, in the latter years of his life, passed as half-Indian, falsely claiming he was the son of a Scottish man and an Apache woman. He achieved fame in the 1930s with books, articles and public appearances promoting wilderness conservation. Shortly after his death in 1938, his real identity -- Archibald Stansfeld Belaney -- was exposed. He was one of the first Pretendians.

Fast foward to this weekend, when celebrated Canadian author Thomas King told the meeja that he was shocked, shocked to find out that, despite believing so nearly all his life, he is not an Indian Indigenous First Nations person. 

Like Mr Belaney, Mr King wrote books about Indians, including The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative and The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America. Now, in a piece for the Groan & Wail [Globe & Mail, shurely. Ed.] titled "A most inconvenient Indian", the California born author says he learned of rumours several years ago that questioned his heritage. 

Mr King says he made a concerted effort this year to find their origin, which brought him to an American organization called Tribal Alliance Against Frauds, which investigated his past with help from a University of British Columbia scholar, and found no Cherokee heritage. 

Mr King writes that he did not purposefully pretend to have Indigenous roots. His father left the family when he was only 3, he says, and his mother rarely spoke of the man but said he was part Cherokee. King says the revelation a couple of weeks ago was "so very devastating, though 'devastating' is too pedestrian a word. At 82, I feel as though I’ve been ripped in half, a one-legged man in a two-legged story. Not the Indian I had in mind. Not an Indian at all."

Well, I'll take his word for it, as long as he promises never again to read out the Stolen Land Acknowledgment which is now de rigueur at all public events and ceremonies in the Great No-longer-white North.

At last! Canada gets rid of feminist phoque-up Chrystia Freeland

So, farewell then, Chrystia Freeland, former Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Canuckistan and protégée of Blackie McBlackface, who was PM until la Freeland stuck a shiv between his shoulder blades about an hour before she was due to deliver a budget last December.

The lovely and fragrant Ms Freeland, who has for nearly a decade,been the target a lot of snark in this space (click here for an example) for a decade, been appointed as the next Warden of Rhodes House and CEO of the Rhodes Trust, the charity responsible for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship programme at the University of Oxford.

At the moment, she is (technically) still a Member of  the Canadian Parliament. Her virtual defenestration of Emperor Trudeau II got her re-elected in the November 2025 election. However, her campaign to wrest the leadership of the Liberal Party from Junior came up short when the British-Canadian Magus, Marx Carney, garnered some 90% of the votes of the party faithfaul, compared with around 5% for Ms Freelove.

For some reason, Mr Carnage declined to invite her back into the cabinet. Instead, she was made "Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine". Canadians never got a chance to learn what that was all about, since (according to Walt's impeccable Ukrainian source), Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelenskyy, upon hearing the news,telephoned Mr Carnage to say Ukraine was in enough trouble already, so, "Please stop helping, already!"

So farewell then, Your Wokeness. I hope you enjoy living in the Caliphate, and that Allah will step lightly on your head. Don't slam the door on your way out.

UPDATED: The end of Western civilization is here (VIDEO)

I don't want readers to think of me as one of those street-corner preachers, wearing a hair shirt and holding a sign saying "The end of the world is coming!" But, as I wrote in  "Not only the Vatican opposes woke gender ideology" (WWW 20/11/25), the end of our world -- of our Western (i.e. Christian) civilization -- is what the One-Worlders, including many Catholic hierarchs, are planning for us and pushing on us. 

Their replacement will be a New World Order of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in which all cultures are equal -- some more so than yours, dear reader -- and Christianity is replaced by the New World Religion of secular humanism, in which believers are their own gods and define their own morality. (Offer void where prohibited by Sharia law.)

The latest episode of Anthony Stine's Return to Tradition vlog, a priest who lost everything speaking the truth to the Church, has a new warning about the end of the Christian age.

Mr. Stine seems to assume that his followers already know of Father Donald Kloster. For those who don't, Fr. Kloster is a priest of the Diocese of Bridgeport CT, and a very traditional Catholic. Reader who would like to see and hear him are recommended to click here to see "What Vatican II Did and Did Not Do".

UPDATE AND WOW!!! (added at 1237 FMT): "State Dept. Warns Mass Migration an ‘Existential Threat’ to Western Civilization", Breitbart News, 22/11/25. The first two paragraphs:

"The United States government has warned that mass migration represents an 'existential threat' to Western civilization and has warned Europe against the continuing open borders policies and the creation of two-tier justice systems that favour foreigners over native populations. 

In a shot across the bow against the open borders ideology that has taken hold in the halls of power in many Western European capitals, the U.S. State Department urged its allies 'to take bold action and defend citizens against the threats posed by mass migration.'"

Vicious circle

Are you up to the challenge of a career in mainstream journalism?

There’s no more noble aspiration than that of one day becoming a professional journalist, but many may feel intimidated or unequipped to pursue such an impressive career. Do you think you have what it takes? Here, from our friends at the Babylon Bee, are nine qualifications needed for a career as a professional journalist. 

1. Burning desire to seek the truth: And if the truth you discover isn’t what you were hoping, just come up with something else. 

2. Have an IQ no higher than 45: Any more than that, and CNN won’t even consider you. 

3. Be OK working for peanuts: That’s not a metaphor, media companies are struggling so much they can’t compensate you with money. 

4. Possess an undying desire to rid the world of the evil that is the United States: You can’t just allow freedom and democracy to keep running roughshod over the world. 

5. Ability to pass a lie detector test while lying: It’s a skill possessed by the greatest reporters. 

6. Willingness to be verbally abused by Donald Trump: Even though most of it is probably true. 

7. Be a hot blonde woman in a tight dress: This tip is specifically for people wanting to work at Fox News. 

8. No actual training in reporting facts: You don’t want actual news to get in the way of telling your predetermined story. 

9. Be a registered Democrat: This is the most important one. 

If you check all the boxes listed above, you too could be on your way to being part of the greatest threat to America.

Question for Ogilvy: What's with all the mixed-race couples?

Here's a commercial that's pretty hard to avoid if you watch Canadian TV.

  

Even if you watch an American channel routed through a Canadian cable/satellite provider, you'll still see the Canuck commercials, like this one. (Click on "Watch on YouTube" to see it.)

What strikes you about these commercials for TD Insurance? The realism? 😅 The résumé of the clever black engineer in the second one? 😅 The excellent diction of the black characters in both spots? 😅 (No ghetto talk for those guys!) Or is it that the actors portray the sort of mixed-race yuppie couple who you would never encounter in, say, Toronto, let alone TROC?

Ogilvy Canada is the Advertising Agency of Record for TD Insurance and TD Bank in Canada. They are responsible for the overall advertising campaigns, including creative concepts and execution. 

As someone who referred to the late, great David Ogilvy while teaching seminars on advertising, I have to say that I'm very glad that Mr Ogilvy wasn't alive  to see these horrible examples of pandering to the DEI crowd. I should be fair to Ogilvy though. Perhaps pushing the mixed-race button was a key point in the brief they received from TD... or some other people... perhaps in the public sector. 😉

If you have a comment you'd like to share with the wokesters, send it to christopher.andrews@ogilvy.com. I'm sure he'll be pleased to get some feedback, if only to show TD that someone is paying attention.

Not only the Vatican opposes woke gender ideology (+ bonus VIDEO)

Yes, Virginia, there really is a conspiracy of the WEF/Davos/one-worlders to destroy Western civilization, "that all may be one".  They do it by insinuating their queer, secular humanist, ultra-woke ideology into every possible medium for social intercourse, to the point where their perverted ideas and ideals have now become the accepted orthodoxy.

Accepted, that is, in the Woke West -- the AABC countries and western Europe. You don't hear the "influencers" and thought leaders in places like Hungary, Russia, China, India, Africa and Latin America pushing the DEI agenda. or giving platforms to drag queens (see video) or queers preaching against the morality of the Bible or the Quran.  

Say what you will about Islam, Sikhism, even Hinduism, their holy books as well as the Bible give us a moral compass, a way to live, a code of proper behaviour that will please -- not offend -- God. And there are believers, even in the West, who look to the scriptures for guidance, and reject the amorality of the New World Order.

Because the One-Worlders keep pushing their amoral ideologies and decadent culture on the rest of the world, the clash between the "old values" and the New World Order comes up in every international conference or gathering, particularly those organized by the Disunited Nations. We see that right now at COP30, the 30th annual United Nations climate change conference, where the unwoke (read: non-Western) rejection of gender ideology risks complicating the outcome.

Six governments -- Paraguay, Argentina, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia as well as the Holy See -- have moved to attach to a key text their own interpretations which (according to the apostles of queerness) would block recognition of trans and non-binary people, and set a "harmful precedent" that could "seep into other shared decisions" taken by the UN’s climate body. 

A reliable source (who wisely chose to remain anonymous) told an international press agency yesterday that "There is 'frustration within rooms' because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue. It’s become a bit ridiculous — we have six footnotes right now; should we have 90?"

At stake is a revamped "Gender Action Plan" (seriously... GAP) meant to guide work for the next decade. The GAP includes commandments to "mainstream gender across climate programs". Climate change, it seems, is no longer as important as the rights of wimmin... and those who identify as any of the other 90-odd genders besides "male".

The GAP was adopted in 2017 and strengthened in 2019. COP30 is now working on a new, even more woke version. The footnotes proposed by those who believe there are only two genders -- M and F -- reveal their proponents' red lines around the term "gender", some longstanding, others part of the rising tide of anti-wokeism.

The Holy See, for example, says it understands gender as "grounded on the biological sexual identity that is male and female." Pretty straightforward, eh. Argentina, a majority-Catholic country led by President Trump's ally Javier Milei has rolled back DEI policies and LGBTQ(etc) rights, and attacked the cancer of wokeism.

A source on the other side of the gender ideology divide contends there is no need to reopen the definition, because parties can already interpret decisions according to their national circumstances. "Allowing countries to attach their own interpretations to agreed language does not protect national sovereignty. It undermines multilateralism itself." Aha! That word -- multilateralism -- is the shibboleth of the New World Order! 

Here's another quote that reveals the not-so-well-hidden agenda. Bridget Burns, executive director of the Women’s Environment and Development Organization, told AFP, "If every Party could footnote core terms like finance, ambition or equity, we would have no negotiation left -- only fragmentation. Gender equality is an agreed principle under this Convention. It needs no qualification." Let there be no dissent!

How to square the circle? One possible off-ramp, said the anonymous source first referred to, would be for the opposing countries to deliver statements after a decision is adopted, ensuring their positions are reflected in the official record. Walt thinks that's a fine idea, since COP30, GAP, and the whole steaming pile of bullshit will be largely ignored by everyone except, perhaps, our woke Western government.

And now for a video on a not-unrelated subject. Here's our old friend Gavin McInnes -- good to see ya, Gavin! -- talking about the insufferable wokeness of the BBC, where it seems female (real female) staffers have had enough of the Corpse's trans dogma. The state-run media doesn't just crowbar gender-neutral weirdoes into every programme, they also deny murderers are male if the guy is wearing a dress. Sez Gavin "It's as ridiculous as it is dangerous." Give a listen.

 

VIDEO: Voice of the people: "Get the f*ck out of my country!"

The Arab community in Dearborn MI has grown since the early 20th century, with waves of immigration from countries like Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, initially driven by jobs at Ford Motor Company. Now Dearborn has the largest Muslim population per capita in the United States.

In 2023, Dearborn became the first American city with a majority-Arab population, with about 55% of residents claiming Middle Eastern or North African ancestry. This once-white community features the largest mosque in North America and numerous Arab and Muslim organizations. 

Here's what Jake Lang, one of the few remaining white American residents, told the Dearborn Council on November 18th.

"You make all of our country look like the places that you fled from. We don’t want you here. Respectfully, get the fuck out of my country!" Well said, that man!

How to stop worrying about climate change

VIDEO: "The American Revolution" - Ken Burns' new, woke version

For the last couple of nights, I've been watching bits and pieces [There was hockey on the other channel. Ed.] of The American Revolution, the latest offering from revisionist historian cum film-maker Ken Burns. It's streaming (also avaible over the air) on PBS, the soi-disant Public Broadcasting System, which is like so-called National Public Radio (NPR), only with pictures.

The fact that this new series is on PBS should tell you what to expect, which is not exactly what they tell you in the introductory summary...

"Thirteen American colonies unite in rebellion, win an eight-year war to secure their independence, and establish a new form of government that would inspire democratic movements at home and around the globe. What begins as a political clash between colonists and the British government grows into a bloody struggle that will engage more than two dozen nations and forever change the world.'

...or in the official trailer.

 

Do you see any warning signs there? No? Let me give you one. The narrator chosen by Mr Burns is one Peter Coyote (born Peter Robert Cohon).an American actor, director, screenwriter, author... and political activist. In "The Theater of Protest", Mr Coyote explains his approach to effective, nonviolent protest, which he developed while teaching a class at Harvard. He emphasizes that protests are ceremonies, an invitation to a better world. He says protests should be led by wimmin, for "inclusivity", and that "monitors with whistles" stop violence. Get the idea?

Other commentators, who I'd never heard of but are presented as historians and writers, include a good DEI mix of Jewish women (one of whom seems to have a slight palsy), black men (including one with blonde dreadlocks), and other mild-mannered, instantly forgettable liberals academics. No Shelby Foote here! 

I was not surprised, then, to learn that the American Revolution was not so much about freeing Great Britain's American colonies from the tyranny and taxation of King George III, as about partnering with Indians Native Indigenous Americans and strong, independent wimmin to obtain justice for the oppressed Negro African-American slaves. As Johnny Carson would have said, "I did not know that!"

The series suffers, in comparison with Ken Burns' The Civil War, in not having photographs to work with, so the visuals are mostly oil paintings of the principal actors involved -- politicians, soldiers, statesmen and the like -- all "marble men". 

We hear, occasionally, the words of common white people, taken from their letters, but we learn little about them. You'd almost think that the only common people of any consequence were the slaves who are quoted and talked about out of all proportion to the numbers of such people in America at the time. Even George Washington's black man-servant gets his 15 seconds of fame, plus a heroic image on his black self at Washington's side going into battle.

This is only a preliminary comment. If the rest of the series is like the first two episodes, I won't be writing about The American Revolution again. But I'm not going to say "Don't watch it." The accounts of the battles are pretty good, so you can just zap through the woke bullshit and still learn parts of the nantion's history that the too many Americans have forgotten.
