How Beijing is controlling Chinese media in Canada and around the world

While becoming more autocratic at home during Xi Jinping’s rule, Beijing has become much more willing, over the past decade, to throw its weight around inside other states. It is increasingly trying, for the first time since Mao’s days, to intervene in the domestic politics, media, information environments, and societies of other countries. Beijing’s campaigns today reflect a departure from the more limited and defensive Chinese foreign policy of the late Cold War and early post–Cold War eras. China in many ways has supplanted Russia as the authoritarian foreign power most dedicated to meddling inside other countries.

Some Iranians Move Their Protests To Rooftops, Windows As Demonstrations Enter Fourth Month

Iranian protesters have opened a new front as their demonstrations over the death of Mahsa Amini enter a fourth month, taking to windows and rooftops to show their anger at the government as they push for more freedoms.

Instead of taking to the streets, people have been chanting anti-government slogans from their apartment buildings in several neighborhoods of Tehran, according to posts on social media. At the same time, street protests and slogans continued in some neighborhoods of the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad and the western city of Kermanshah.

Do Harry and Meghan really think they’ve done nothing wrong?

Not for the first time, it was Jeremy Clarkson’s fault. The weekend news, which began with a forensic dissection of the fallout from the six unrelenting hours of the Netflix series Harry and Meghan, was soon dominated by Clarkson’s extraordinary column in the Sun, in which he wrote of the Duchess of Sussex:

‘I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level.’

He went on to suggest that: ‘At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, “Shame!” and throw lumps of excrement at her.’

Alabama women, 85 and 61, sentenced after feeding stray cats

Two Alabama women have been given suspended jail sentences last week after feeding stray cats and trapping them so they could be neutered, a common public health intervention to reduce stray numbers.

Beverly Roberts, 85, and Mary Alston, 61, of Wetumpka, Alabama, were sentenced to two years of unsupervised parole and a $100 fine each on Tuesday, reported the Montgomery Advertiser. The women were also given suspended 10-day jail sentences.

Inside Jihad Rehab, the ‘Islamophobic’ documentary the Left doesn’t want you to see

Documentary maker Meg Smaker hopes that British film audiences will help her where those in the US could not. Her film The UnRedacted, about ex-Guantanamo Bay inmates undergoing “rehab” in Saudi Arabia, screens this week at an indie cinema in north London, its first British outing since premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

Given the film’s many rave reviews, a seven-day run at the ArtHouse Crouch End may seem a somewhat low-key release. A clue as to why lies in one of the reviews quotes on the film’s poster. It hails it as a “masterpiece”, but adds: “Don’t let anyone tell you how to feel about it until you see it yourself.”

Millions in Hundred Dollar Bills Flown to the Taliban for “Humanitarian Aid”

As the Taliban were taking over Afghanistan, I predicted that Biden would fund the Taliban using “humanitarian aid” as a pretext. Since then, Biden has provided $1.1 billion in Afghan aid.

Despite assurances that the money would not go to the terrorists, the Biden administration issued global licenses authorizing financial transactions with the Taliban and the Al Qaeda allied Haqqani Network that include the “delivery and provision of humanitarian aid”.

Proud Boys Trial Is Set to Open, Focusing on Role in Jan. 6 Violence

The charge of seditious conspiracy is the same as in a recent trial of members of the Oath Keepers militia, but the Proud Boys defendants are accused of a central role in the fighting at the Capitol.

On the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, as scores of Proud Boys were getting ready to take their place in a pro-Trump mob outside the Capitol, a leader of the far-right group sent a message to his colleagues.

“I want to see thousands of normies burn that city to ash today,” he wrote.

Almost two years later, the notion that the Proud Boys wanted to provoke violence among the “normies” — or the normal people — in the crowd that day rests at the heart of the government’s case against five members of the group who are facing trial on charges of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol attack.

Expect lengthy sentences as pretext for railroading Trump.

Death on Demand in Canada

What started as an allegedly rare and ‘kindly’ way to ease the suffering of the terminally ill has ballooned into a government program offering death as an escape from loneliness, depression, or even poverty and homelessness.

The prospect of the new year is always a mix of hope and caution; but as 2023 peers over the horizon, it throws dark and ever deepening shadows over the landscape of human rights in Canada. This coming March, Canada will expand its already shockingly broad MAiD, or Medical Assistance in Dying, law, to make death-on-demand available to Canadians—including so-called ‘mature minors’—suffering from mental illness.

The Canadian experiment with death-on-demand began in 2016. Rupa Subramanya, in a chilling post at Bari Weiss’ The Free Press, recounts how physicians warned from the beginning that the experiment was a reckless one. Dr. Ellen Warner, a professor at the University of Toronto’s medical school, objected to MAiD because “there was no way we would be able to avoid this slippery slope.”

‘Silent majority’ of car industry is concerned about electric vehicles

A “silent majority” of car companies is concerned that electric vehicles will not alone be able to end reliance on fossil fuels, according to a senior Toyota executive.

Akio Toyoda, the company’s president and grandson of its founder Kiichiro Toyoda, said that many concerned senior figures are reluctant to say what they really think because of the pressure to go green.

It comes as the industry struggles to ditch petrol and diesel, in the face of materials shortages and complex processes that have kept the cost of building electric cars high

Adam Zivo: Pierre Poilievre’s critics deranged on plain language plan

Bureaucratic jargon sucks for everyone — so let’s banish it.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre haș pledged to mandate the use of “plain language” in government if he is elected prime minister. Perplexingly, some critics have found this deeply offensive, going so far as to call it authoritarianism and “mandating newspeak.” Yet progressive governments in other countries have already adopted plain language reforms and seen demonstrable benefits with no significant downsides.
