Ottawa Provides Few Details on Plans for ‘New Tools’ to Fight ‘Extremist Ideology’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in late May that “new tools” were needed to combat a host of threats, such as “misinformation,” social media being “weaponized,” and “right-wing terrorism,” but various government departments contacted by The Epoch Times provided few details on what those tools might be.

Public Safety mentioned investments in the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) to improve cyber capabilities, the Privy Council Office said it’s coordinating “new measures” across departments, and Global Affairs raised Canada’s involvement in a G7 group to counter state-sponsored disinformation.

Short on details? That’s because they’ll make it up on the fly. The goal is to criminalize dissent.

Ukraine war: Russia says 40 Ukrainian prisoners killed in blast

Russia’s defence ministry says 40 Ukrainian prisoners-of-war have been killed by Ukrainian shelling of a prison in separatist-held Donetsk.

Officials alleged that 75 others had been injured in a rocket strike on the prison camp in Olenivka. The BBC cannot independently verify this claim.

Ukraine’s military denied carrying out the strike and instead accused Russia of shelling the prison.

It said Moscow was seeking to cover up evidence of torture at the site.

In this video you can see how the process of guiding looks like – using a special laser rangefinder-target indicator 1D15 which is pointed on the desired target. Though being developed 40 years ago, 3F5 projectiles can directly hit small sized targets up to 9200 meters away. pic.twitter.com/nU0LPPuRic

Ontario doctor suspended for spreading COVID disinformation, latest in string of pandemic-defying MDs

Dr. Jeff Matheson was not exactly on message with COVID-19.

The Toronto-area physician refused to wear a mask and urged patients to remove theirs, saying they actually did harm. He told them the pandemic was a media-driven hoax designed to profit the likes of Bill Gates, that COVID test results were being sold to China for DNA sequencing and parents should sue schools if they make their kids wear face-coverings.

Today’s Pierre Poilievre Hit Piece Brought You By Blackie’s Toronto Star

Is Canada’s venerable Conservative party going nuts?

Whatever happened to the old “sensible shoes” party known as the Conservatives?

As Pierre Poilievre, a radical populist, prepares to become the party’s new leader, it’s a question that has taken on new urgency.

Poilievre was already the odds-on favourite for winning his party’s leadership in a race that concludes next month. But his candidacy received a new boost this week, when he won the endorsement of former prime minister Stephen Harper.

P.E.I. pub pulls Trudeau’s photos after barrage of hate-filled comments

A P.E.I. pub has pulled photos of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from its social media accounts after getting a barrage of hate-filled comments and phone calls.

Trudeau had lunch at Lone Oak’s Charlottetown pub during a brief stop on the Island last week.

While at the pub, owners, staff and customers had their photos taken with the prime minister. The pub later posted those photos on its social media platforms.

That walk in the snow is long past due.

WARMINGTON: Triathlete, 27, becomes 5th GTA doctor to die in July

The fifth GTA doctor to die in July “radiated positivity” and “lived a vibrant and active life.”

Hmmm: Biden met with 14 Hunter business prospects while VP?

Nick Sandmann Responds After Judge Tosses Lawsuits Against 5 Media Companies

The legal team representing former Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, now-20, will file an appeal after they had libel lawsuits against five news organizations thrown out in court this week.

The lawsuits centered around vicious smears that Sandmann faced in the media back in 2019 when a video clip showing him simply standing in front of a Native American man while smiling went viral online.

Russian Arms Dealer in Proposed Swap for Brittney Griner Has Notorious History

Viktor Bout has been accused of supplying arms to Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and rebels in Rwanda. His exploits helped inspire a 2005 film, “Lord of War,” that starred Nicolas Cage.

Shortly after his conviction in 2011 on charges including conspiring to kill American citizens, the Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout relayed a defiant message through his lawyer, even though he faced the prospect of decades in prison.

Mr. Bout, his lawyer said, “believes this is not the end.”

More than a decade later, Mr. Bout, 55, may be nearing a chance for a new beginning even though he has served less than half of his 25-year prison sentence.

The Coinbase investigation spells trouble for crypto

Authorities are moving in on the industry

This week, it was revealed that the crypto exchange Coinbase is facing an investigation from the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over allowing its users to speculate on unregistered securities. Reports claimed that regulatory officials began taking a “closer look” at Coinbase when it enabled trading of an additional 100 tokens on its platform. How this was the first red flag to provoke a serious examination remains a mystery to outside observers.

‘Patronising’ posters welcome plus-size women to the beach

Spain’s government is encouraging plus-size and older women to visit the beach this summer, prompting accusations that it is patronising the public.

The Left-wing government launched a summer advertising campaign, featuring a topless woman who has had a mastectomy, with the taglines: “all bodies are beach bodies” and “summer is ours too.”

But the advert showing five women of varying shapes and sizes lounging on the sand has sparked accusations that it is patronising women who have never felt unable to visit the beach in the hot summer months.

Cross-Examining the Climate Change Cultists

If you want to watch the pinkos fret, simply state the indisputable truth that what they call “climate change” is a massive hoax. Their fallback is inevitably that “science” – which they purport to love except when it demonstrates that there are only men and women and that you can’t change the sex you are born as – has decreed that because we peons insist on not living in caves like primitive tribesmen (okay, non-binary tribespeople) the Earth is going to cook. And, of course, the only solution is to do a whole bunch of things that leftists always wanted to do anyway. There’s no time to think, no time to reflect, and certainly no time to argue. Why, who are you to question the scientists?

Well, I’m a lawyer. I question scientists for a living.

Threat to Canadian electric vehicle industry dissipates with U.S. Senate deal

A deal struck among Democrats in the U.S. Senate appears to have eliminated a threat hanging over the nascent electric vehicle manufacturing industry in Canada.

An agreement announced late Wednesday between Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia gives the Democrats the votes they need to pass a key plank of U.S. President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda.

The deal would amend Mr. Biden’s climate and health bill and change the terms of tax credits for electric vehicles that as previously written would have only applied to autos assembled in the United States.

Big deal. The Climate Nazis will ensure not enough hydro is available to charge your electric car. Assuming they even allow you to own one.

Woke: the language of tyrants

Even autocrats and terrorists now sound like whiney SJWs.

It’s annoying when one’s words are parroted by people clearly inferior to oneself. With my talent for turning a phrase, this has happened to me a few times. Watching Tony Blair snivelling about the ‘People’s Princess’ (mine) or Owen Jones sniggering about ‘cry-bullies’ (mine again) it’s not a pleasant experience to see one’s pearls spewed by swine. But if one believes in absolute freedom of speech – as I do – it must be borne with Stoic cheer, recalling the old saw ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’.

Trudeau Spars With Farmers on Climate Plan Risking Grain Output

Canada wants to cut fertilizer emissions, but farmers say it could result in less food

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s push to accelerate the fight against climate change is sparking a showdown with the nation’s farmers, who say it’s threatening food supplies — and their profits.

The government is proposing to cut emissions from fertilizer 30% by 2030 as part of a plan to get to net zero in the next three decades. But growers are saying that to achieve that, they may have to shrink grain output significantly at a time when the world is scrambling for more supplies. Also at stake is the estimated C$10.4 billion ($8.08 billion) that farmers could lose this decade from the reduced output.
