Another day, another BLM leader gets busted for embezzling money meant to save ‘black lives’. At this point it happens so often that hardly anyone pays attention.
Losing one MP to the Liberals may be regarded as a misfortune. Losing two smacks of carelessness. Now Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative leadership is really in danger. Even a victory in the upcoming leadership review in January won’t necessarily make it safe.
Now, Mr. Poilievre will be looking over his shoulder and into the shadows. Maybe one more of his MPs will defect before party delegates convene in Calgary to vote on his leadership. Or just after he wins. Liberal House Leader Steven MacKinnon declared Friday that there are other dissatisfied Conservative MPs. He might as well have sneaked up behind Mr. Poilievre and shouted “boo!”
The dislike held by the media for Poilievre always makes me question the doomsayers.
Senator Ted Cruz has weighed in on Representative Ilhan Omar and issued her with a warning after allegations have swirled that the progressive congresswoman married her brother so he could become an American citizen.
Cruz shared an article on X, accusing Omar of the reported sham marriage, writing: ‘If this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes.’
The Republican senator then cited three US laws, including Federal Marriage Fraud, State Incest Laws, and Tax Fraud.
🚨 HELL YES! Tom Homan has CONFIRMED Homeland Security is actively investigating Ilhan Omar’s potentially illegal presence in the United States
She committed IMMIGRATION FRAUD by marrying her brother.
“We’re pulling the records! I’m running it down THIS WEEK!”
No doubt many of you cried near the end of the movie Awakenings.
The movie, based on Oliver Sacks’ bestselling book of the same name, struck an emotional chord with many people for the same reason that Flowers for Algernon did, and it turns out to be about as based on real life as that depressing work was.
This is the New Yorker article link – Oliver Sacks Put Himself Into His Case Studies. What Was the Cost?
More than a decade ago, I found myself enjoying a summer drink on a Vancouver patio with a friend. Partway through, we were joined by a friend-of-my-friend — Mark, who worked in facilities management. We eased into the usual small talk, and I offered the inevitable confession that I worked in public procurement.
One beer became two, as they tend to do on a warm afternoon, and eventually the conversation drifted into that warm, truth-serum stage of mild intoxication. Mark leaned in, lowered his voice with theatrical seriousness, and asked the question he’d clearly been waiting to unload, “So… have you ever been offered a bribe?”
4+ hours, 800+ cameras and the only description is male wearing all black.
Jack Wrenn (published in his blog, the Brown Daily Herald, and covered by GoLocalProv), reported approximately 800–816 surveillance cameras across the Brown University campus at that time.
It fell at home, it fell abroad, and each fall accelerated the other. It fell to an unholy trinity of old-school fascism, Russian mafia-statism and American gunslinging and fame-seeking. It fell in ways that were uniquely American but also in ways reminiscent of other despotic, murderous, expansionist, misogynistic and racist elected takeovers — ones that have led to tanks rolling across Europe.
Aubrey and her wife are preparing to leave the United States for Costa Rica in January – a decision they haven’t taken lightly, after building a life as homeowners in upstate New York.
She says months of unease about the political climate in the United States – from debates over LGBT rights to concerns about basic safety – finally tipped them into making a plan to leave.
Her story could be far from unique, according to a recent survey by US analytics firm Gallup, which suggests 40% of American women aged 15 to 44 would move abroad if they had the opportunity.
In 2023, the Treasury Board of Canada’s program spending on diversity, equity and inclusion was roughly 100 times what it was in 2016. Public Safety Canada’s was about 40 times higher. The federal Crown prosecution service spent 20 times more.
These are some of the figures that were revealed in a House of Commons report tabled in response to a question by Conservative MP Vincent Ho. Back in October, he asked all federal departments to detail their DEI program spending, DEI-related jobs and DEI contracts, along with an explanation of how they evaluate DEI performance.
Prior to being arrested this week and accused of passing sensitive or classified information to a foreign entity, a Canadian military intelligence member was embroiled in a secret, long-running internal dispute with his superiors, CBC News has learned.
Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar was the subject of a disciplinary investigation by his unit within the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command starting in October 2024. The probe resulted in a reprimand — what the military calls a remedial measure and a recorded warning — delivered last spring, according to internal documents.
He works in the counter-intelligence branch of the military at its headquarters in Ottawa.
I am friends with a billionaire property developer who left Britain for good this year. He went to live in a European tax haven because he objects to this country’s 40 percent inheritance tax—one of the most punitive rates in the world. He was born and had lived in London all his life, but his business interests are now global; he no longer recognizes this city, and feels the current Labour government is hostile towards wealth creators. The nation will miss him and his ilk: He reckoned he was frequently one of the top 10 taxpayers in Britain. Overall, the top one percent of earners generate 29 percent of all income tax receipts.
For centuries, Britain and especially London have been a magnet for talent and capital from across the world. Historically the center of the British Empire, and latterly the only financial hub to rival New York, London was a truly global city—full of high earners, a cultural mecca, brilliantly connected to other centers of finance and industry.
In next November’s elections, residents of Massachusetts will have the opportunity to do something strange and unprecedented: re-ban marijuana. The state legalized recreational pot in 2016. But last week, organizers submitted the requisite 74,000 signatures to place on the ballot an initiative that would end the legal sale of the drug without reimposing penalties for mere possession.
The Children’s Aid Society (CAS) knew Brandy Cooney and Becky Hamber were zip-tying two boys into one-piece pyjamas and their case worker didn’t tell them to stop, according to an email shown at the couple’s weeks-long murder trial in Milton, Ont.
Holly Simmons, their Halton CAS worker at the time, emailed the two prospective parents in July 2019 and acknowledged they used zip ties so the boys couldn’t take off their clothes, in order to control “urine” and for “safety.”
No one will be held accountable because you’re not allowed to offend the lesbians.
