A four-year fight by U.S. whistleblower Chelsea Manning for permission to come to Canada will continue until at least next year, after her immigration hearing ended Friday not with a decision, but a lengthy timetable for more legal arguments.

Defeated Tory MP says review of Conservatives’ election loss will examine O’Toole’s performance
The defeated Conservative MP now tasked with determining where his party’s federal election campaign went wrong says he intends to “hit the ground running” within the week — and his work will include a review of leader Erin O’Toole’s campaign performance.
“I’ve already reached out to people within the party, outside the party. I’ve already started to arrange some interviews for next week and I intend to start travelling within the next couple of weeks,” James Cumming told CBC’s The House this week.
No question, the sphincter relaxant was the campaign’s salvation.
Erin O’Toole will reliably renounce, walk back, toss under a bus any policy or person as deemed necessary. That’s consistency you can count on.
Son of former Afghan defense minister buys $20 million Beverly Hills mansion, media reveals
The US government spent $85 billion on the Afghan military, only to see it surrender to the Taliban without a fight. Now the son of a former defense minister is spending millions to buy a luxury mansion with a view of Los Angeles.
A man by the name of Daoud Wardak recently bought the Trousdale Estates property in Beverly Hills for $20.9 million, Yahoo News reported, citing real estate records. He was described as an “ethnic Pashtun refugee” born in 1977, with public records showing him as president of AD Capital Group, based in Miami, Florida.
GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau already told us he doesn’t think about inflation

“Burlington man”, who made up a tale about being an Islamic State executioner, sees terrorism-hoax charges dropped
A Burlington man, who made up a story about being an Islamic State executioner, has seen the rare terrorism-hoax charges he faced dropped, after his stories became the focus of major media reports, capturing worldwide attention and creating a political storm in Canada.
Justice Donald McLeod accepted the Crown’s decision to withdraw terrorism-hoax charges laid against 26-year-old Shehroze Chaudhry in a Brampton court Friday.
The charges were withdrawn after it was found the accused had made up claims to have fought for Islamic State and he posed little threat to the public.

Ask family members if they’re vaccinated before inviting to Thanksgiving, top doctors say
Canada’s top doctors say you should ask your family members if they’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19 before you invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner.
Depending on their answer, they added, you might want to change your plans, move dinner outside, or add extra precautions to your event.
“Our advice really is that, overall, keep indoor gatherings safer by asking your guests … your family… whether they’ve been vaccinated or not,” said Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam.
Like we need advice from that buzzard.
‘Bigger Than Democrats Vs Republicans’: Tulsi Gabbard Says ‘Powerful Elite’ Want ‘To Silence And Control Us’
Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. said Thursday the battle between the Department of Justice and parents who protest at school board meetings over masks and Critical Race Theory is “bigger” than Democrat and Republican party politics — it is about freedom for all citizens.
“Every American should be concerned about what’s happening right now,” Gabbard told “Fox News Primetime.”This is something that is bigger than Democrats vs. Republicans. What we are seeing here is about the powerful elite in this country using their power to try to silence and control us.”
Megyn Kelly condemns ‘f***ers’ who ‘lied’ to people about COVID-19 origin
Political pundit Megyn Kelly pinned the “f***ers” who “lied” to people about the origins of the coronavirus .
In addition to China , she criticized the Biden administration and EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak for the millions of deaths due to the pandemic.

Bail for a school shooter? While Jan. 6 defendants languish in prison as danger to the republic?

Kellogg’s Goes Woke While Its Workers Go Broke
No one wants to see how the woke cereal gets made.
In the late 19th century, John Harvey Kellogg, a eugenicist and celibate vegetarian, became the leading health food nut of the era and along the way accidentally invented corn flakes.
Back then Kellogg’s Battle Creek Sanitarium was a spa for the rich where patients got electric baths and enemas (the subject of a scathing parody in the book and movie, The Road to Wellville). These days, Battle Creek, Michigan is in much worse shape and Kellogg’s is the area’s biggest employer. But the corporation, like most of its multinational woke ilk, spends most of its time virtue signaling social justice while outsourcing American jobs.
Barbarism behind bars: Rape & torture in Russia’s prisons laid bare by thousands of leaked videos
A chilling archive of footage purportedly showing the abuse of inmates in Russian prison colonies has already sparked a probe and cost several officers their jobs. The group behind the leak tells RT there’s still more to come.
A decade ago, Vladimir Osechkin was sentenced to seven years behind bars over fraud allegations brought by the daughter of an influential Moscow politician. Released quickly on parole, he left the country as soon as travel restrictions imposed upon him were relaxed and is still reportedly wanted for questioning on a number of charges. Now, though, as the founder of human rights group Gulagu.net, he has managed to upend the country’s penal system from afar.
Even Elon Musk is leaving California behind
Tesla’s departure to Texas is another sign of the Blue state’s decline
The announcement that Tesla is moving its headquarters to Texas may not be a surprise, but it confirms trends that California’s progressive gentry simply refuse to acknowledge. Tesla, among the diminishing number of large manufacturers based in the state, joins a growing exodus that includes such tech giants as Oracle and Hewlett Packard, financial firms like Charles Schwab, and a host of high-end engineering and business service companies.
Dave Chappelle’s Lutheran stand against cancel culture
Few challenge the new intolerance as effectively and naturally as Mr Chappelle.
There is something a tad disquieting about Dave Chappelle’s demeanour in his new Netflix stand-up special, The Closer, filmed in Detroit. For a while, as I watched him joke about coronavirus, racism and the trans question, I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then it struck me. It was his lack of nerves that felt unnerving. Here was a man making gags about some of the most vexed topics of our time, even going so far as to joke about trans women’s ‘vaginas’ (‘I’m not saying it’s not pussy, but it’s Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy’). And yet he displayed neither the darting-eye angst that so often accompanies the saying of unsayable things, nor the smug self-satisfaction of those who blaspheme against woke orthodoxies for the thrill of it. No, this was a man calmly, funnily saying what he believes to be true, as if he were compelled to do so, as if he could do no other. And that, in this era in which people either sheepishly duck controversy or hug the hell out of it for the retweets, feels unusual, and bracing.
A Cold, Dark Winter Approaches: Blackouts Anticipated as Green Energy Falters
Economists are predicting that Europe and Asia will face a cataclysmic energy crisis when winter weather collides with drastically higher energy prices and shortages of oil, natural gas, and coal. There are warnings about widespread blackouts in Europe, factory shutdowns in China, and economic chaos in poorer countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan.
“If the winter is actually cold, my concern is we will not have enough gas for use for heating in parts of Europe,” said Amos Hochstein, the U.S. State Department’s senior advisor for energy security.
