UN calls on Canada to conduct ‘prompt, exhaustive investigations’ for residential school victims

WARNING: This story contains details some readers may find distressing. (Says CBC)

The United Nations Human Rights Office urged Canada on Wednesday to do all it can to find the Indigenous children that died at residential schools, calling for an “exhaustive investigation” to uncover the remains of former students that may have been left in unmarked graves.

Marta Hurtado, a spokesperson for the UN body, said the federal government must “redouble its efforts to find the whereabouts of missing children” in the wake of a preliminary investigation at the former Kamloops Residential School in B.C. that revealed 215 children were buried on the grounds.

The UN has zero moral standing.

High-security lab’s ties to Chinese military researchers should compel Liberals to provide documents: opposition

OTTAWA — Parliamentarians on Tuesday argued that collaborations between a Canadian infectious disease lab and Chinese military researchers raises critical questions of national security and said Ottawa should be compelled to provide more details about the facility’s operations.

Over hours of debate in the House of Commons, Conservative, NDP and Bloc Québécois members repeatedly called on the Liberal government to provide details as to why two scientists were fired from Winnipeg’s high-security National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) earlier this year, amid an RCMP investigation into the matter.

Outrage over landmarks named for residential school leaders grows as Canada grapples with colonial legacy

EDMONTON — After the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., calls to remove statues and rename landmarks linked to Canada’s colonial legacy are once again growing.

Across the country, landmarks once named for architects and key leaders of residential schools are adopting new identities as outrage over the disturbing discovery grows — a small reconciliation for those who have long advocated to remove these reminders.

Also – Calls grow to rename Ryerson institutions across Ontario

The statue of Egerton Ryerson in downtown Toronto at Ryerson University has been a flashpoint of controversy for some time. On Monday night, new paint splashed across the monument and spray-painted words called for action in response to the remains of 215 children discovered in unmarked burial sites in Kamloops B.C.

Ontario reports 733 new Covid cases … and variants are a risk

Ont. reports just over 700 new COVID-19 cases today as daily average drops to lowest level in 7 months

Ontario is reporting a daily COVID-19 case count of just over 700 today as the rolling seven-day average of new infections dips below 1,000 for the first time in nearly seven months.

Provincial health officials logged 733 new COVID-19 cases today, up slightly from the 699 reported on Tuesday but down significantly from the 1,095 infections confirmed one week ago.

Why COVID vaccination progress at home risks being undone by spread of variants abroad

Variants of the coronavirus sweeping through parts of the globe are a stark reminder that despite the increase in vaccinations in North America, there are still millions of people at risk of infection.

Allowing the virus to run amok in other countries also risks putting the entire world in jeopardy and losing any gains made through COVID-19 vaccinations, some scientists suggest.

That’s because the more opportunities the virus has to spread, the more likely it is to mutate, said Dr. Priya Sampathkumar, chair of infection prevention and control at the Minnesota-based Mayo Clinic.

China’s Xi may be screwing up as badly as Biden, maybe even worse

Many fatalists see America in decline and China ascendant. China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, agrees in public. But beneath the shiny new infrastructure, the amazing economic growth and competitiveness, China faces a reckoning, just as it prepares to mark a century of its Communist Party.

We can thank President Trump for the belated recognition that China is the most important strategic threat to the United States. As little as two years ago, Joe Biden stupidly dismissed the idea that China was a threat

How Denmark helped America spy on Sweden

Who has been quietly helping the Americans spy on Sweden? Their neighbors across the water in Denmark

Alarge, investigative collaboration between Scandinavian public service outlets and European newspapers such as Le Monde and Süddeutsche Zeitung has revealed a rather sensational espionage story. The National Security Agency has reportedly been snooping on American allies, including Swedish politicians, with the help of…Sweden’s neighbor, Denmark.

BLM Founder Patrisse Cullors, Marxist Abolitionist

She doesn’t want to just defund the police — she wants to abolish them.

Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors has been in the news a lot lately because of controversy over her income and financial dealings, including recent purchases of several new homes. Cullors lashed out at these criticisms by protesting, “The fact that the right-wing media is trying to create hysteria around my spending is, frankly, racist and sexist.”

How Facebook censored the lab leak theory

Its latest crackdown on ‘misinformation’ proves the tech giant hasn’t learnt its lesson

Facebook issued two statements in the past week relating to its treatment of “misinformation” — and they couldn’t have been more different.

The first was a single paragraph updating their policy on stories speculating that Covid-19 is a man-made virus — after almost every major media outlet, and yesterday even the British and American security services, finally confirmed that it is a feasible possibility.

Economist and director of the Bank of England John Maynard Keynes was a ‘racist’ who supported sterilisation and eugenics, trust claims as it tells visitors about the ‘darker side’ of Bloomsbury Group

Economist John Maynard Keynes held racist eugenic theories about human selective breeding, The Charleston Trust who run his country haunt have claimed.

Keynes, who died in 1946, gave his name to ‘Keynesianism’ – a branch of economics based on the belief that government intervention can improve economic conditions.

However new information provided to visitors via an app at his regular Sussex retreat, Charleston Farmhouse, suggests Keynes – considered a ‘left-wing’ thinker – subscribed to poisonous views that racial wars and global segregation would be needed to ‘protect our standard of life from injury at the hands of more prolific races’, the Telegraph reports.

China ‘exporting their authoritarianism overseas’ through Canadian institutions, Hong Kong advocate warns

OTTAWA — Chinese authorities have been “exporting their authoritarianism overseas” by infiltrating democratic institutions in Canada and elsewhere as a way to stifle criticism of the Communist state, one expert told parliamentarians on Monday.

If the Wuhan lab-leak hypothesis is true, expect a political earthquake

There was a time when the Covid pandemic seemed to confirm so many of our assumptions. It cast down the people we regarded as villains. It raised up those we thought were heroes. It prospered people who could shift easily to working from home even as it problematized the lives of those Trump voters living in the old economy.

Like all plagues, Covid often felt like the hand of God on earth, scourging the people for their sins against higher learning and visibly sorting the righteous from the unmasked wicked. “Respect science,” admonished our yard signs. And lo!, Covid came and forced us to do so, elevating our scientists to the highest seats of social authority, from where they banned assembly, commerce, and all the rest.

The China class will make sure nothing comes between them and their “investments,” China will not suffer and everything else will remain the same but especially a deeply held contempt for the our media and the governing class. That’s no earthquake that’s the norm.

A Woke Military Wouldn’t Have Won World War II

Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of summer and a time for patriotic remembrance of our fallen war dead and, for many of us, fallen family members, many of whom were veterans. I have been thinking of the five sons of Victor Sowers, Sr., my mother’s brothers, all of whom served in World War II and returned, while pondering the parlous state of the military today.

Joe Biden Goes Full Leroy Jenkins in a Race-Baiting Speech, Creeps on Young Girls Again

Joe Biden appeared in Tulsa, OK today to give a speech on race. What followed was more evidence that he doesn’t need to be anywhere near the office of the presidency. From random wild claims to race-baiting to creeping on young girls again, this speech had it all.

Diane Francis: Canada must be transparent about Wuhan lab ties

With evidence mounting that SARS-CoV-2 may have escaped from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government could find itself in a very awkward position if the American intelligence report ordered by U.S. President Joe Biden into the origins of the virus ends up uncovering previously undisclosed information about the connections between Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory and the Wuhan lab.
