It’s not exactly a sign of a healthy democratic discourse that it’s virtually impossible to ask a critical question about the United States’ role in the Ukraine-Russia conflict without being smeared as a Putin apologist or an “isolationist.”

A neo-feudal war on the people – The elites are steadily impoverishing the working and middle classes.
An author should be pleased to see his thesis bolstered by events. Yet since writing The Coming of Neo-Feudalism in 2020, I have not found any joy in the continued growth of the West’s class divides, as wealth becomes increasingly concentrated in ever fewer hands. The good news is that the working and middle classes are not yet out for the count, and are showing welcome signs of pushback against both state and corporate power.
Mayor Pete mentored him…and he was just arrested for kiddie porn
… One of the reasons societies develop fairly strict conventions regarding sexual behavior is that the boundaries of potential sexual appetites go far beyond what is healthy or socially desirable.
Social norms put a lid on the unlimited appetites of human beings, which is a good and necessary thing.
As we have normalized extremely deviant sexual behaviors–usually within the rubric of the LGBTQIA++ movement–pedophiles have gained a lot of social space to experiment with and practice their desires. It’s easy to find without looking very hard. Just follow Libs of TikTok on Twitter and you will get a small taste of how the basest of desires are indulged in our society.

We need a public inquiry into the 5th column enabling foreign interference in Canadian elections
We don’t need a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian elections
… The interference that should concern us is not something that happens to Canadian democracy, but rather the kind that happens with the collaboration of certain of its domestic participants.
The collaboration may be passive – winking at or acquiescing in foreign interference, rather than taking action against it. Or it may be active: taking orders, or receiving benefits, from foreign actors.
In the present crisis, we have been given plenty of evidence of both, thanks to a series of extraordinary intelligence leaks.

‘Deplorable conditions:’ Police rescue 64 Mexican nationals who were brought to the GTA and exploited for their labour
Police have arrested five people and have issued arrest warrants for two others following a months-long investigation into an alleged human trafficking ring that they say was enticing Mexican nationals into Canada with promises of a “better life” and then exploiting them for their labour.
The investigation, dubbed “Project Norte,” began in November after York Regional Police received a complaint from a single Mexican national about his work and living conditions in Canada.
How and where did they get across the Border?
The captives were transported to farms and factories to work. Why aren’t these locations named?
As far as I am concerned the Trudeau government is complicit in human trafficking.
Tennessee curbs trans treatment and drag for children
Tennessee’s governor has signed laws banning drag performances in front of children and restricting medical treatment for transgender youth.
Civil rights and LGBT groups vowed to sue to stop the medical treatment measure from taking effect on 1 July.
Violators of the new drag law, meanwhile, face nearly a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,500 (£2,100).
Governor Bill Lee enacted the laws as questions were asked about an old photo apparently of him in women’s clothing.
Gun crime maximum sentences going unused despite Liberals’ promise to increase them, data show
As the Liberal government promises to increase maximum sentences after eliminating minimum sentences for certain gun crimes, data show that judges are never handing down maximum sentences for firearm offences.
Shocking video shows black kids attack, force white kids to say ‘Black lives matter’ at Ohio school: cops
Multiple Ohio elementary school kids are facing assault charges after disturbing video caught the group of black students attacking white students — and forcing them to say “Black lives matter,” according to cops.
Footage obtained by WKEF showed a tall student grabbing a much smaller one around the back of the head and marching him across the Springfield playground, with another joining to hold the struggling victim.
Others joined in when he was taken to an area near swings — with one charging in and knocking the helpless youngster to the ground, seemingly throwing a punch.
Making things worse, racist social media algorithms are suppressing the videos of Asian-Americans and White kids beating up Black people. That makes the problem appear one-sided. https://t.co/9xOq1Ps6IC

Poilievre attack on ‘folk hero’ Anderson risks helpful support for Tory Leader, says MP meeting organizer
Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre risks losing the backing of trucker convoy supporters for criticizing a controversial German politician considered a folk hero of the movement, says one of the organizers of a lunch with the politician attended by three Tory MPs.
“There’s a sense of betrayal and we feel used by Mr. Poilievre, to take the freedom convoy, freedom movement and use them for his own benefit,” Bethan Nodwell said in an interview on Thursday.
She said Mr. Poilievre has disrespected a “celebrated folk hero” cherished by convoy supporters, last week describing Christine Anderson’s views as “vile” and unwelcome in Canada. (link fixed)

New study casts doubt on whether anything the authorities told you about Covid-19 was true
New study casts doubt on effectiveness of COVID-19 border closures
A new study comparing data from 166 countries that closed their borders during the first 22 weeks of the pandemic says most targeted closures – aimed at travellers from COVID-19 hotspots – did little to curb the crisis.
By contrast, total border closures barring all non-essential travel did slow the spread of COVID-19, but at such a high cost that the writers warn they should only be considered in the future as a last resort.
Intel Leaks on Beijing’s Interference: Warnings Dismissed for Decades, Now Issue Deeply Entrenched
The latest intelligence leaks about China’s influence operations in Canada are part of a trend that goes back at least three decades, though it has accelerated in recent years.
As early as the 1990s, a joint report by the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) was leaked to the media, warning about Beijing’s operatives and criminal gangs becoming entrenched in various Canadian sectors, but the authorities dismissed those concerns. Decades later, drug operations and money laundering became the subject of a B.C. public inquiry.
