  1. Let them depart for Qatar instead. That's where their leaders live. Join them, I say.

  2. Gad is such a classic 1960s-born anglophone Montrealer. Arrived there aged 10 and speaks the ethos without an accent. He's got that dry, low-key, cerebral, incisive, p'd-off-but-cheerful Montreal mensch wit. He and Leonard Cohen would've made nice friends.

  3. "The worst part about Patton Oswalt is the hypocrisy."—the great Norm Macdonald, if he were alive.

  4. You need to realize that by 1977 Gad was in Montreal, Canada. So was Harris.

  6.  @Steve-yo4ld  Well duh, of course. But it is essential to Gad's satire that they were in the same city at the time. Satire rests on a foundation of truth, hilariously manipulated.

  8. Number of left activists in the West publicly condemning Israel: Countless thousands, likely in the millions Number of left activists in the West publicly condemning Hamas: [crickets] (Yes Gaad, crickets😄)

  9. Yeah, she'll come up with some phony excuse not to, blaming it on Rogan not being good enough because of his beliefs.

  10. Fun fact: They're registered to vote in 500+ congressional districts.

  11.  @Steve-yo4ld  Oh thank god. I thought you'd wanna drag it out to 'defeat' me. Wait, I should say thank Gad. 😄

  12. According to Konstantin Kisin on the Trig livestream Thursday night, she indeed has on multiple occasions publicly said of particular men "No one would ever want to shag him!" Yep. And no one protested, no one batted an eyelid. Classic "It's cute when we do it."

  14.  @barefootonasandybeach638  She makes me feel unsafe. She makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure when I have those feelings that's assault. She assaulted me.

  15. According to the auto-captions he's Scott Saad. 🤣

  16. I was asked to define a left-wing activist. I had to admit I couldn't—after all, I'm not an entomologist.

  18. But I assume you soon discovered the same BS was catching on there too? Have Australian universities set up departments of indigenous fat studies, complete with undergraduate programs, graduate degrees and endowed chairs? (The latter extra-large and very sturdy, of course.)

  19. KH: "I grew up as a middle-class Jew." [uproarious cackling as everyone else stares in sombre puzzlement]

  20.  @jayrideau  "Women attempt more" That's precisely what Evans herself said on Newsnight in order to minimize the male rate of suicide. Terrific of you.

  21. You mean fat gone?

  22. During the Cold War we would laugh at the absurdities uttered in public by people behind the Iron Curtain. In times since we chuckled at the things North Koreans had to say. Now the joke's on us. The absurdities are here from top to bottom in our own societies.

  23. Who says that thing represented an ideal form? Could very well represent a specific person. (* Also, name is Willendorf)

  24. Oh dear. Time to rethink and re-contextualize that attitude in terms of revisiting the whole subject, re the re-norming of the colonial mindset.

  25. Total area of the 22 Arab countries: 5,148,000 sq mi (twice the size of Europe ex-Russia: 2,562,000 sq mi) Area of Israel: 8,019 sq mi Ratio: 642 : 1 (99.84% / 0.16%) And yet: "Israel's existence is the greatest injustice ever! Our fellow semites, the Jews, must have not have this dot of land! 99.84% of the semite lands is not enough for us Arabs! It must be 100%!"

  26. University students: Deeply clueless since forever.

  27. That letter from the school sounded like its author could be the child of a couple of Red Guards, showing that Wokeism is hurriedly morphing into neo-Maoism. I designate the transitional variant we see here 'Upper East Side neo-Maoism'.

  28. During the 1970s and 80s she and Prime Minister Peter Pan grew up in adjacent wealthy neighbourhoods in Montreal, barely a mile apart in Westmount and the Golden Square Mile. And they are political soulmates to this day.

  29. People holding that package of views couldn't morally reason their way out of a cage of wet tissues.

  30. "In the sex-war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female. Both are reciprocally generated, but a woman's desire for revenge outlasts all other emotion." — Cyril Connolly (By sex-war, of course, he meant what was later called 'the battle of the sexes.' He went on to say that ordinarily it's male thoughtlessness which has lit the fuse. But he had a hard time finding and keeping a woman.)

  32. Any time you want to give us a break from Justin Trudeau content by giving us some Sydney Sweeney content, I'm more than all right with that.😄

  33. I savoured every word of that. Thanks.

  34. A long time ago I realized that sort of behaviour is most likely aimed at currying favour with girls/women. And let's not kid ourselves: although many do not fall for it, so many do that it's always worth a try.

  36. I've come to believe that only mass public protest has any chance of preserving the remaining health of our society. I know it went poorly in Ottawa last year, what with the invocation of quasi-martial law, but it has to be attempted again. I'm convinced there's just no other way.

  37. Hahaha Excellent.

  38. 10x bigger miracle: "gender" didn't come up even once. 🤯 Bingo card incomplete.

  40. Michigan's gain has been Quebec's loss. Hey Gad, you're about to miss the nationwide celebration when Trudeau makes his exit. You should probably hop in the car and return for the sheer glee of it.

  44. I'm guessing they did, teaching her specifically that all morals are relative and that's the key to morality. It comes across in "You have no right to tell anyone their beliefs are wrong!" And I'll bet they're proud she said that.

  45.  @alexbadash4718  Sit down, calm yourself and just breathe. I did make a typo ('they key' where I intended 'the key') but I don't know what's wrong with your reading comprehension. What I disagreed with you about was your essentially calling shabby and relativist morals no morals at all.

  47. Perfect. They're high on their own sanctimony.

  48. Gad, thank you for introducing us to your charming and insightful friend. Fun fact (which came to mind as Brigitte spoke of Lebanon's efflorescence in E. Mediterranean commerce in the 1965-75 period): Many people of Lebanese descent, Jews especially, are very much at the top of Mexico's business world.

  49. The keystone right is the right to be wrong. Sounds like a pretty crappy right, but actually it underpins every other right. Without it you can simply be put to bed without supper, i.e. be denied all rights and be treated as a four-year-old…forever. In fact, without it that's what will happen. Will. Gad realizes this, and that is why he insists liars and idiots must be allowed to say what they like, with absolutely minimal exceptions: libel and slander; incitement to riot, murder, suicide, or overthrow of the government; acts of mischief like yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theatre, and that's about it.

  50. Universities are supposed to be places for exchanges of views, part of which involves making statements. And a lot of them, being adolescents, are eager to justify their claims to adult worth. (Some indeed are worthy, others not so much.) Beyond that, I would add that while I don't have in mind those who put the posters up, a large minority, perhaps even a majority of them, think that they're very important and that the world looks to them for moral guidance.

  51. Saadly true.

  52. The source of my own doubt is that The Times tracked down hundreds (their word) of his sex partners to get dirt on him. We don't know what they said to all those women, whether they made promises of material support, whether they led them along with all the (female) rhetorical support they could muster, manipulated them, etc. — in short, whether they did whatever they had to in order to amass four accusers. There's no doubt about it, they were on a mission. They assigned multiple reporters and spent four years on it, as well as presumably hundreds of thousands of pounds in wages and expenses (travel, legal, etc). A group that determined could probably nail Santa Claus. Then there are the sheer statistical odds that some people who've had casual sex with a celebrity will end up resenting that person. Surely the tryst itself means much more to them than to the famous person, so that sets up a massive potential for resentment all by itself. Add to that the fact that Brand's political leanings have taken a turn from ten-plus years ago, which may add to any sense of affront. If you search long and hard enough you can probably find a few people that will say things that aren't true, people who are also intelligent enough to present those things in a well-thought out and credible-seeming fashion. Another possibility is that some of the accusers are being truthful and others aren't. It's certainly impossible for me to be sure one way or the other.
