More than 100 years ago, two researchers began combing downtown Toronto in search of dogs for their medical experiments. They had already gone through about a dozen dogs provided by the University of Toronto, but the pair had killed them all: one using too much anesthetic, another in surgery during which the dog bled out, and most of them due to infections from surgeries performed in unsanitary conditions.
Who is Ritchie Wellman? He is a father, a boyfriend, an assistant operations manager at a local business and a part-time paedophile hunter. Right now, however, at 7 p.m. in a dusty car park down the road from Bournemouth pier, Ritchie is the commander of his own private policing unit, briefing his officers before their first patrol. He tells them not to assault anybody, not to be provoked, not to drink or smoke on the job, and to reassure the public if they are concerned by this new authority on their streets: ‘This is not a takeover.’
Ritchie is a normal guy, and he and his officers and others in Bournemouth like them believe that their town is falling apart and that the state is not coming to save it. They say rapes, stabbings, violent disorder and anti-social behaviour are turning their home into somewhere that they do not recognise. The police tried to make it safer but failed. Now it’s the people’s turn.
The State Department took issue with a stream of that initiative that prioritizes the hiring of diverse journalists, including those who are Indigenous, Black, have disabilities or are part of the LGBTQ community. The report claimed that discriminated “against journalists who fell outside of these favoured categories.”
OTTAWA – The U.S. State Department is taking aim at Canada’s Online News Act in a human rights report that criticizes press freedom in Canada — which experts characterized Thursday as Orwellian.
The Online News Act, which requires Meta and Google to compensate news publishers for the use of their content, is cited in a section of the report covering freedom of the press.
“The U.S. is determined to crush two important pieces of Canadian legislation, the Online News Act and the Online Streaming Act. Their end game is clear,” said Fen Hampson, an international affairs professor at Carleton University.
The only Newspeak spoken is by the racists attempting to mask their blatant support for DEI and their hatred of White males.

Toronto police Supt. Stacy Clarke’s demotion for cheating didn’t account for ‘social context’ of anti-Black racism, appeal hears
A Toronto police superintendent has asked an Ontario police watchdog to overturn her two-year demotion for helping several junior officers cheat to get promoted, arguing she should automatically return to her history-making rank in one year.
Supt. Stacy Clarke, the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police history, appeared before a three-person panel with the Ontario Police Arbitration and Adjudication Commission (OPAAC) on Thursday to appeal a decision to knock down her rank to inspector for two years — a penalty described in her appeal document as “excessive, unduly harsh and disproportionate.”
It was racist to allow her to remain on the force.

Unilaterally recognizing the “Palestinian Arab state,” as Emmanuel Macron announced (it would be the first G7 country), is the greatest gift to those who don’t recognize Israel (Hamas “thanks” Macron); after October 7th. It’s a reward for those who choose terrorism (so, after all, it works, and never mind if for now they have to settle for the 1967 borders on paper, which they’ll use to seize the 1948 ones, as they attempted to do on October 7th from Gaza).
Salman Rushdie is right when he says that the Palestinian Arab state would be Sharia “like under the Taliban,” and, as the numbers tell us, it’s a gesture by England and France to appease Islam (in addition to revealing Qatar’s enormous weight in the French economy, with Paris becoming the second capital of Qatari investments in Europe since 2022).
Internal Islamic pressure is suffocating European leaders, forcing them to give in to blackmail.
Maybe something will come of it, maybe some progress has been made but they have told us little.
There was no joint press conference only an empty joint statement.
No questions were allowed.
President Trump announces major progress made during peace summit with Putin:

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the Liberal government’s electric vehicle sales mandate is akin to “banning rural life” as he promised a nationwide pressure campaign to scrap the policy.
Poilievre took a pause from his Albertan byelection campaign Thursday for a press event in Saskatchewan in which he lambasted the Liberal policy — colloquially known as the EV mandate — as an attack on farmers and rural Canada.
The international condemnation Israel has received after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his plan to assume control of Gaza overlooks one critical fact. Netanyahu has no option other than to embark on this course of military action because Hamas’s terrorist leadership has demonstrated unequivocally it has no interest in agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza.
Freedom Convoy protester Evan Blackman is back in court to defend his presence at the 2022 protest and challenge the freezing of his bank accounts.
According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), the Ontario Court of Justice will hold a retrial for Blackman, who was charged with mischief and obstruction for his participation in the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests and subsequently had his bank accounts frozen.
MSNBC’s freakout over the Trump Administration’s plans for the Smithsonian Institute continued on Wednesday’s All In as Professor Eddie Glaude Jr. asserted that the nation is in the midst of a “Second Lost Cause” movement that seeks to justify “the reassertion of white supremacy.”
Guest host Antonia Hylton began by trying to wax poetic about the Smithsonian, “That description there, in the reporting, of the way this administration seeks to transform the Smithsonian, a place that millions of people visit, students go to, to study, to find themselves in the world, to work on life-changing research projects. They want to bend it to the way Trump views our nation’s history.”
The Brampton judge described his slaying of his ex-partner while their son slept as one of the “most gruesome and horrific” cases of second-degree murder that she’s seen in her decade on the bench.
