BLM leaders are warned they will be held personally liable if they fail to disclose details of $60M in donations by California DoJ
The leaders of Black Lives Matter could be held personally liable if they fail to disclose financial records about the charity’s $60 million in donations within the next 60 days.
In a letter issued to BLM on Monday, the California Department of Justice accused the charity of failing to submit its annual financial reports and alleged it was in delinquent status.
‘An organization that is delinquent, suspended or revoked is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds,’ the letter reads.
RCMP contradict Kenney comments — say no reports that officers assaulted
Alberta RCMP have clarified reports that officers had been assaulted Tuesday at a protesters’ blockade near the Coutts border crossing, saying that while there were dangerous incidents, no assaults on police had been reported.
The information from police seems to contradict a statement Alberta Premier Jason Kenney made Tuesday while updating media on the tense situation in Coutts, where a blockade of vehicles has snarled traffic since Saturday in a protest against vaccine mandates.
Canadians now realize our health enforcers have gone too far
The kids in school who used to call out at the end of the day, “Teacher, teacher, you forgot to assign homework!”, are now in charge in politics and government.
And being good little rule-followers, they are reluctant to ease up and give individuals back the control that so many Canadians willing relinquished early in the pandemic.
Alberta border blockade – lanes open in both directions
COUTTS, ALTA. – There has been a breakthrough to resolve the impasse at a protest blockade at the United States border in southern Alberta.
Chad Williamson, a lawyer representing truckers blocking access to the border crossing at Coutts, Alta., says they have spoken with Mounties and agreed to open some blocked lanes.
Trucks and other vehicles have begun clearing two lanes — one going north and one going south.
Senior State Department Staffer Told Ambassador David Friedman: ‘Don‘t Be So Jewish‘
A senior staffer at the State Department told then-U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman in 2017, “Don’t be so Jewish.”
Friedman reveals the antisemitic episode in his explosive new memoir, Sledgehammer: How Breaking with the Past Brought Peace to the Middle East, set to be released on February 8 by HarperCollins. In the book, Friedman tells the story behind President Donald Trump’s diplomatic success in the Middle East — and how achieving it required smashing old prejudices.
Carson Jerema: Erin O’Toole did everything he could to lose the Conservative leadership
The trucker convoy, the remnants of which seem determined to make those living in the Ottawa core indefinitely miserable, would have been a challenge for any Conservative leader to reckon with. But for Erin O’Toole, it crystallized everything that has plagued his leadership, expressing opposing positions within days of each other, appearing embarrassed to be a conservative, being outshined by his own caucus, and leaving everyone unsatisfied in the end. If it was indeed the trigger for the party revolt that ousted him Wednesday, it is a fitting one.
Honestly I thought O’Toole would survive this challenge and I am no fan.
I do wonder what motivated such a large defeat beyond his obvious shortcomings as a Flip-Flopper etc.
Were the MP’s party to intelligence indicating widespread defections from the CPC?
The current party platform is little different from the LPC causing my withdrawal of support.
Maybe a new leader will change my mind and I’ll return but I suspect not.
Trudeau Denies Truckers Fair Hearing: News Report from India
Canadian media outlets are relentlessly smearing the trucker protest. Make no mistake. Journalists are doing everything in their power to discredit an actual, grassroots, working class revolt.

Amnesty International Wants to End the Jewish State
The latest grotesque exhibition of anti-Israel vitriol among NGOs is this week’s publication of a report by Amnesty International that recycles tired, repeatedly disproven yet deliberately provocative antisemitic tropes and accusations of racism. This from an organization that was itself last year branded as “systemically racist”.
The title of the report, “Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians: a cruel system of domination and crime against humanity”, is not only a blatant and unsubstantiated lie but also an insult to black South Africans who suffered so horrifically under a genuinely apartheid regime. Few will read this 200+ page diatribe of falsehoods, distortions and half-truths, but many will see and absorb its title, which has already been plastered greedily across left-leaning newspapers and disseminated to millions in social media. The BBC, for example, trumpeted “Israel’s policies against Palestinians amount to apartheid” in an online article, giving full weight to Amnesty’s claims, quoting several people who support them, but allowing only the briefest opposing view from the Israeli government at the end.
I’m not sure Israel will win this battle. A concerted effort on multiple fronts is being made to label it an “Apartheid” state.
Old whatshisname is out as Conservative leader
Erin O’Toole voted out as leader by Conservative MPs
The party’s members of Parliament met virtually today to cast secret ballots after about one-third of them signed a notice that triggered a leadership review.
Ontario MP and national caucus chair Scott Reid said in a statement that 73 Conservative MPs voted to replace him while 45 endorsed him.
There are 119 Conservative MPs, including O’Toole. As caucus chair, Reid said he did not vote.
As Canada’s home prices soared during COVID-19, real-estate money laundering audits fell 64%
Audits conducted by Canada’s anti-money laundering watchdog plummeted during the COVID-19 pandemic, new figures show, a deeply “troubling” sign for authorities tracking dirty money, financial crime experts say.
The data from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) showed money laundering audits in real estate dropped from 146 in 2019-20 to just 53 in 2020-21 – a decrease of 64 per cent. That’s down from nearly 200 audits of real-estate entities in 2018-19.
Canada wants to host the 2030 Winter Olympics – paid for by you, but not featuring you
… The Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees’ endorsement on Tuesday of an as-yet theoretical Vancouver bid for the outing in eight years’ time hits all the usual notes. It’ll bring us all together. It’ll convince average yobs to get off the couch and take up the monobob. It’ll solve our historic inequities through the healing power of many, many official statements.
Some of these things might even be true. But what goes unsaid is that what another Games will do most of all is give a few, already important people a chance to feel even more important. It’s the world’s most expensive photo opportunity, paid for by you, but not featuring you. Cool trick.
The Olympics are a scam.
Go incognito.
Justin Trudeau’s woke agenda is tearing Canadian society apart
The “freedom convoy” that has descended on Ottawa began as a revolt against new requirements that unvaccinated Canadian truck drivers returning across the border from the US must quarantine for 10 days. While we can debate the wisdom of the rules in question, what cannot be denied is the truckers’ huge symbolic importance. In a society that has grown much more polarised under Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, they have given a voice to groups consistently demonised by the Left-liberal Canadian establishment: namely conservatives and the white working-class.
After three generations of an official culture of political correctness in education and the media, Canada has become a strongly Left-leaning society. Six in 10 voters support the culturally Leftist Liberals and New Democratic Party (NDP) while 4 in 10 back the Tories or populist People’s Party of Canada (PPC). In many other western societies, such as Britain, the balance is far closer to 50-50.

Tucker Carlson accuses the Canadian media of being a mouthpiece for Justin Trudeau
Tucker Carlson accuses the Canadian media of being a mouthpiece for Justin Trudeau and ‘borrowing attack lines’ from the liberal American media to smear ‘Freedom Convoy’ of truckers
Tucker Carlson has accused the Canadian media of being a mouthpiece for Justin Trudeau and says they ‘trotted out some attack lines borrowed from CNN and NBC News’ to smear the truckers protesting the Prime Minister’s vaccine mandates.
On Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday, the Fox News host criticized the Canadian leader for not meeting with the truckers.
‘”So I’ll meet with the people at a rally as long as I agree with their goals, as long as they agree with me, it’s totally fine, like Black Lives Matter,”‘ Tucker said, imitating Trudeau. ‘You get the sense even someone as dim as Justin Trudeau realizes this is not a winning argument. He needed his friends in state media to help.’
The media will not recover from this disgrace.
