‘We have to do something,’ to shut people up Minister Rodriguez says of coming online harms bill

VANCOUVER – Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says that in the face of considerable attention on an increase in hate and harassment online, the federal government feels it has an “obligation” to advance legislative and regulatory changes aimed at tamping down harmful content.

“There’s a consensus on the fact that we have to do something. Not everybody agrees on what exactly, but the fact that status quo is not possible. And whoever says ‘oh no, no, you shouldn’t do anything on this’ has to justify why status quo is OK,” Rodriguez told reporters at the Liberal cabinet retreat in Vancouver, referencing his ongoing consultations on the plan.

The Star Says Be Afraid! Pierre Poilievre’s callous courting of Canada’s ‘deplorables’

Toronto Star Editorial Board

Back in 2016 when she was running for the U.S. presidency, Hillary Clinton made a shocking — and unwise — comment about “deplorables” who were among Donald Trump’s supporters.

In what she called a “basket of deplorables,” Clinton cited some Trump backers as “racists, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic.”

Clinton insisted she was speaking about only a small percentage of Trump’s followers, but the damage to her campaign was done, with analysts denouncing the comment and Trump fans soon proudly sporting hats and T-shirts labelling themselves as deplorable.

‘If he’d served his full sentence they would still be alive’: Memphis mayor slams soft justice system after Facebook Live shooter was released from three year sentence after just 11 MONTHS to kill four

A crazed gunman flashed a wide grin as he was arrested by cops in Memphis, Tennesee, after reportedly going on a shooting spree which he live streamed on Facebook – after being released early for aggravated assault.

Ezekiel Kelly, 19, launched his alleged rampage just before 1am and terrorized the city for more than 19 hours, killing four people and injuring three others.

The teenager has a violent criminal record, with police linking him to eight different incidents and warned terrified members of the public to stay away from him in a social media post at around 7pm on Wednesday.

Coutts blockaders collected firearms to use against police, RCMP documents allege

A faction that blockaded the Canada-U.S. border in Alberta last winter to protest COVID-19 health measures was stockpiling weapons to use against police, according to allegations unsealed on Wednesday.

The RCMP alleged in search warrant applications filed in court that anti-vaccine mandate demonstrators who six months gathered in Coutts, Alta., were “arming themselves for a standoff against police.”

The allegations were based partly on information collected by police through wiretaps and undercover officers who infiltrated a hangout where a group of protesters met in a basement.

Will the energy crisis spell the end for German bakeries?

If you want to buy what many believe is the most delicious bread in the city of Bonn, you have to plan well ahead. That’s because the line in front of the Max Kugel bakery is long.

The prices are high, too. The cost of a wholewheat loaf has just gone up by 80 cents to €6.60 ($6.56). That’s about €2 more than the competition charges.

Industry experts predict the cost of heating your home will shoot up 30% this winter

You might want to sit down when you open your gas bill this winter.

While the price of natural gas has already doubled in the past year, energy analysts say it could be shooting up another 30 per cent in the next few months, pushed by cooler weather, and Russia shutting off the taps to European consumers.

“One thing for certain is that if cold weather arrives early, the overseas natural gas crisis will start washing up on North American shores. It might be a good time to take out flood insurance,” Desjardins Securities energy analyst Chris MacCulloch wrote in a recent note to clients.

Pentagon stops accepting F-35 jets to check for Chinese content

The US Pentagon has stopped accepting new F-35 jets after it discovered a magnet used in the stealthy fighter’s engine was made with unauthorized material from China, a US official said on Wednesday.

An investigation that gathered steam in mid-August found that an alloy in the engine’s lubricant pump did not comply with US procurement laws that bar unauthorized Chinese content, said Pentagon spokesperson Russell Goemaere.

Ukrainian Canadian Congress wants permit revoked as Russian turbine hearings continue

OTTAWA – The Ukrainian Canadian Congress is urging the Canadian government to revoke a permit that allowed the export of a turbine repaired in Montreal to a Russian energy giant.

The permit granted Siemens Canada an exemption to sanctions against Russia for two years starting in early July and would allow the company to import and repair up to five more turbines as per their maintenance schedule.

Biden’s DOJ embraces bias and anti-religious bigotry

Do you believe a baker has the right not to bake cakes for same-sex weddings ?

Do you believe church daycare programs have just as much of a right as other such programs to apply for state grants?

Do you think pregnancy centers should not be forced by the government to tell pregnant women where to get an abortion ?

If you support the First Amendment rights of any of these entities, then President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice believes you’re a bigot unworthy of associating with — or at least that is the message the department sends by protecting a senior DOJ official who attacked the nation’s leading legal advocate of religious liberty.

Almost 25% of Democrats think men can get pregnant

According to a WPA Intelligence survey, 22% of Democrats think that “some men can get pregnant.”  What’s even worse, although not at all surprising, is that the women are the ones who are really crazy.

It turns out that 36% of White, college-educated Democrat women think men can get pregnant.  I’ve written before about how leftism damages women.  It makes them extremely angry and neurotic.  It also, apparently, cuts them off from reality.  Sadly, these same women are a force to be reckoned with politically.  They may be loopy, but they’ve got political power.

Straight Talk From Birmingham Police Chief on the Magic City’s Skyrocketing Murder Rate
