An investigation into accusations that Meghan Markle bullied royal aides has concluded. But the findings are being kept under wraps, allegedly because Buckingham Palace is “terrified” of antagonizing Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, who’ve routinely trashed all-things royal.
Rumors of Meghan’s alleged bullying leaked last year, around the same time as the ex-royals’ much-talked about interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Federal government to transfer willing asylum seekers from Roxham Road to Ontario
Fewer asylum seekers crossing at a popular, unofficial border point south of Montreal will be staying in Quebec, Radio-Canada has learned.
That’s because Ottawa has accepted a repeated request from the provincial government to transfer some people directly to Ontario — if they wish to go there.
With record numbers of claimants currently crossing via the makeshift border point, called Roxham Road, the federal government said it’s working to alleviate some of the pressure on Quebec to provide temporary resources and accommodation for people.
Just what we need in the midst of a housing crisis. No word from Ford on this.
Chief public health officer Theresa Tam says the racist, misogynistic abuse she’s faced during the pandemic have been a source of personal difficulty, and underscore the growing threat posed by the proliferation of misinformation about COVID-19.
“Being a visible woman from a visible minority background, if you like, was very difficult because of all the disinformation about origins of viruses and the politicization … of all of the beginnings of the pandemic, was quite difficult, as you can imagine,” Dr. Tam said.
So now she’s playing the race card. What a surprise.
Cops highly-visible in Ashbridge’s Bay to prevent long-weekend mayhem
A significant police presence was visible at Ashbridge’s Bay and Woodbine Beach Parks to discourage the mayhem that marred the May 24 long-weekend.
Meanwhile Mayor Jello Tory attended a White supremacist gathering masquerading as a Canada Day event.
Transphobia is gaining ground in the U.S. Gender-diverse people in Canada worry it could happen here
Amanda Jetté Knox doesn’t know who tried to throw a bottle at them from a vehicle while walking home in Ottawa last month, but remembers the feeling of it barely missing their head.
“[It] hit my bangs as it went by,” said Jetté Knox, who identifies as non-binary and uses she/they pronouns. “[They] called me a f–king freak and drove off.”
It was the first time Jetté Knox experienced anything so violent but the proud activist and author has endured plenty of hateful comments since publicly sharing their family’s story several years ago. One of Jetté Knox’s four children is non-binary and came out in 2014; the next year, Jetté Knox’s spouse came out as transgender woman.
Once again the CBC Bubble farts out an unpleasant odor, this time implying any dissent regarding gender dysphoria is violence.
The ever present knee-jerk anti-American stance is used to taint the deserved pushback against Trans extremism in the US.
No woman has a dick.
Heil JK Rowling Baby!
A few days ago, I penned an irritated tweet in response to one of the latest happenings on the increasingly heated culture war front in response to the decision of an actress (actor) named Ellen (Elliot) Page. I am employing this awkward and impossible multiple-naming style because it is now apparently mandatory — and probably doing it wrong, nonetheless, as “you’re doing it wrong” is the whole point of what has been made mandatory — but also to make a point.
An oligarchical society is being reset
War has always been the father of innovation: a reset for societies forced to adopt whatever methods work just in order to survive. The outburst of voluntarism that has gripped Ukraine is a striking example: mutual aid groups, local volunteer organisations and local defence militias have cropped up, taking on many of the burdens of the overstretched state. We can almost term this a form of “war anarchism”, analogous to the “war socialism” that overtook industrial capitalism during the World Wars, paving the way for postwar social democracy. The relationship of the people to an often distant and dysfunctional state is being reset; new paths have perhaps opened up for postwar Ukrainian society, politically and socially more inclusive than the outward form of liberal democracy that came before, in which political power was in reality the plaything of rival oligarchs. The war against the invading Russians has many qualities of a revolution.
AMERICAN FOREIGN policy after—indeed, during—the Russo-Ukrainian War should promptly head to the world’s most decisive region: Asia. This will require that American foreign and defense policy genuinely put Asia first—in our military investments, in our allocation of political capital and resources, and in our leaders’ attention.
Nothing that has happened since Russia’s abominable invasion of Ukraine has changed a set of facts: Asia is the world’s largest market area, and it is growing in global share. Located in the middle of Asia is China which, alongside the United States, is one of the world’s two superpowers. China’s behavior has become increasingly aggressive and domineering and appears oriented toward establishing Beijing’s hegemony over Asia. If Beijing achieves this goal, the resulting consequences for American life will be dire.
Women who question transgender ideology have been branded ‘farts’ as part of equalities training offered to civil servants in Nicola Sturgeon’s Government, it has emerged.
Workers who attended a workplace “trans 101” course were told the term was an acronym for “feminism appropriating ridiculous transphobe” and that women who oppose inclusivity measures were part of a “trans hate group”.
More than quarter of Americans – 28 per cent – said that it might ‘soon be necessary to take up arms’ against the US government, according to a new poll released Thursday.
Of those who felt that way, 37 per cent currently own guns, the poll found.
The poll also showed that a majority of Americans – liberal and conservative both – felt that their government was ‘corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me.’
“Antifa is known to use force, fear, and violence.”
While Jan 6 dominates the media from cable news to the press headlines, far from Washington D.C. the violence of Jan 9 recently led to the first conspiracy indictment of Antifa rioters.
The violent clashes at a Pro-Trump rally in San Diego on Jan 9, 2021 were more of what Americans had been forced to accept as the new normal over the last six years.
Matt Palumbo, author of “The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros,” details billionaire George Soros’s connection to American politics, and illustrates how Soros controls not only what is written about him, but also influences how the American public perceives news events.
Soros created a financial concept called reflexivity, which Palumbo said is “brilliant,” because it can cause what Soros wants in the finance sector to happen.
Inflation is mostly to blame for Biden’s catastrophic approval rating, of course. But I think what Axelrod describes here is an underrated reason for flagging left-wing support. It’s not (just) that his policies aren’t progressive enough.
When I last met Jordan Peterson four years ago he was on the cusp of what some would call renown, others notoriety. Let’s settle for prominence. Peterson, a clinical psychologist, had spent the first three decades of his career in relative obscurity, teaching at the University of Toronto, churning out academic papers, maintaining a small private practice and producing YouTube videos on his interests in ethics, theology and myth.
All that changed in 2016 when he challenged, on free-speech grounds, a proposed Canadian law, C-16, which he argued would legally compel him to use transgender people’s preferred pronouns. (It became law in 2017.)
“Defund the police” is, and always has been, a scam.
New research sponsored by the University of Toronto and Wellesley Institute reveals families in Toronto’s lower-income areas want more, not fewer, police officers on the streets.
