Hey, Hey! Ho, Ho! Here’s a Big Reason Why Portland’s Antifa Seems to Have a Never-Ending Supply of Rioters

Ever wonder why there seems to be a limitless supply of Antifa terrorists in Portland, Ore., year after year, riot after riot, conflagration after conflagration? Why there’s no shortage of purple-haired screamers willing to toss Molotov cocktails, tag buildings with old-timey revolutionary slogans, set GOP headquarters on fire, firebomb pregnancy clinics, punch people they don’t like, loot stores, and point lasers into the eyes of police officers? Wonder no more. The Antifa summer camp for kids is back this summer for the first time since their fellow travelers in communist China unleashed the COVID-19 virus on the world.

André Pratte: How ‘multiculturalist’ became an insult in Quebec

Last Monday, Quebec Solidaire’s leader, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, announced that if his leftist party was elected to form the provincial government this fall, they would amend bill 21 in order to allow the wearing of religious symbols for all workers in Quebec. Nadeau-Dubois was immediately accused of being a “multiculturalist.”

So? It should be an insult.

European Scientists Empowering China’s Military

New research done by Follow the Money, a Dutch platform for investigative journalism, and ten other European media outlets, found that European scientists have “shared militarily sensitive knowledge with the Chinese army on a large scale.”

The project, known as the China Science Investigation, collected a staggering 353,000 scientific collaborations between Europe and China and found that, of these, 2,994 have taken place with the Chinese military, defined as, “studies where scientists from Western European universities collaborated with Chinese colleagues directly linked to an institute that is part of the Chinese army.”

Biden Sold a Million Barrels From US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China-Owned Gas Giant

The Biden administration sold roughly one million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-controlled gas giant that continues to purchase Russian oil, a move the Energy Department said would “support American consumers” and combat “Putin’s price hike.”

Pierre the Polarizer has got the Conservative Party – and he could certainly take the country, too

The Conservative Party of Canada was taken over by its hardline Reform wing 20 years ago. The Reformers vanquished the old progressive Tories. Now, with leadership frontrunner Pierre Poilievre and with Trumpism as a backdrop, they’re doing it again, re-entrenching on the ideological hard side.

As for the old Tories, they’re boneyard-bound again. Even after Patrick Brown’s disqualification from the leadership race, moderate Jean Charest’s chances of winning are decidedly scant.

Has there been a shift to Poilievre by the Braintrust?

Review of “Lie Detector” tests stokes privacy fears at cyber spy agency

The watchdog body overseeing Canada’s intelligence agencies is looking into whether polygraph tests — popularly known as lie detector tests — should be used to hire spies.

Its investigation has some of Canada’s cyber intelligence officials and agents worried that their most personal information could be viewed by strangers.

The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency [NSIRA] is in the midst of reviewing internal security programs at the Communication Security Establishment [CSE], the foreign signals intelligence agency. Among other things, NSIRA is looking into whether the use of polygraph tests in CSE recruitment “is lawful, reasonable and necessary.”

GOLDSTEIN: Freeland’s absurd claim ‘climate action’ insures against high energy prices

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland was being insensitive when she told Canadians high gasoline prices are a reminder “of why climate action is so important and why as a country we have to work even harder and move even faster towards a green economy.”

But it’s not the worst thing she said …

Ukrainian diaspora urges Trudeau not to return turbine to Russia

Canada’s Ukrainian community has urged the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, to refuse to compromise the country’s sanctions against Russia in order to return a turbine that Moscow says is critical for supplying natural gas to Germany.

Russia’s state-controlled Gazprom cut the capacity along the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to just 40% of usual levels last month, citing the delayed return of equipment being serviced by Germany’s Siemens Energy in Canada.

Whistleblower says Patrick Brown arranged her payment by third-party company

A lawyer for a woman identifying herself as a former organizer on Patrick Brown’s campaign says Brown personally connected her with a third-party company to pay for her work on his campaign.

Debra Jodoin says in a statement released through her lawyer that she briefly worked as a regional organizer for Brown’s campaign from May to the beginning of June.

But wait there’s more…

Tory leadership committee was advised not to approve Patrick Brown’s nomination

Members of the Conservative leadership committee responsible for vetting candidates recommended back in the spring that Patrick Brown’s campaign application not be approved, National Post has learned.

Makes ya wonder if CSIS or the RCMP have something on him.

Brittney Griner doesn’t think America is so bad now

Brittney Griner, the statuesque basketball player from Houston, Texas, is in the news as her trial for drug possession begins in Russia. I do not care to speculate as to the reasons Griner chose to break Russian law by packing vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. I would think that anyone traveling outside the United States would be conscious of the fact that many other countries, like our own, have strict drug laws. Unlike the United States, many other countries enforce their drug laws without reference to race, ethnicity, creed, orientation, or any of the myriad factors that offenders use in America to get a slap on the wrist. Possession of cannabis in Russia can carry a ten-year prison sentence, and that means ten years in prison, not a few months and then paroled for good behavior.

Woke university chiefs BAN students and academics from using terms like ‘mankind’, ‘millennial’ and ‘manpower’

The Universities of Bristol and Nottingham have reportedly outlawed words like ‘mankind’ and ‘millennial’ to avoid causing offence – while terms such as ‘manpower’ are to be replaced with ‘workforce’.

Woke chiefs at the Russell Group schools fear the everyday expressions contribute to stigmas and can have negative associations, reports the Sun.

At Bristol, students and faculty have allegedly been told to replace the word ‘manning’ with ‘stationed’, while ‘able-bodied’ people should now be called ‘non-disabled’.
