A press release from the office of the Chief of the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C., has stated that the most recent investigation at the Kamloops Residential School site shows “signatures that resemble burials” but no confirmed graves.
The investigation, which the B.C. government pledged $12 million to in 2021, has yet to produce any concrete evidence of burials or gravesites.
The key to the Qatari approach lies in embracing the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of infiltrating Western institutions, including through the electoral process. But this does not translate into adapting to Western values, notes scholar Mark Menaldo. Instead, it advances an ideology developed by the Muslim Brotherhood’s intellectual founder, Sayyid Qutb, that ‘cannot accommodate democratic principles such as legal pluralism’ outside Islamic practice.
Job candidates required to describe how they would advance “decolonization.” A video that suggests starting meetings by identifying oneself as a “settler” on unceded native lands. A political scientist who says he was instructed to teach game theory “from an Indigenous perspective.”
Each, a practice at the University of British Columbia, is now evidence in a lawsuit brought against the school by a group of professors who claim such social-justice efforts violate a provincial law requiring universities to stay out of politics.
The suit, filed last spring and currently under review by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, has set off a major legal and cultural battle at one of Canada’s top universities, in which each side accuses the other of trying to push an activist political agenda in the name of free speech.
Barack Obama’s dropping of an alien bombshell – he said “they’re real” in a podcast interview – set the pulses of millions of “believers” racing at the weekend. But the former US president has since qualified his response.
In a statement on Instagram, he said his comment had been made in the heat of the moment. He had simply meant that, given the vastness of the universe, we’re unlikely to be alone. He added: “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!” Case closed? Maybe not.
For much of the early 1990s I was posted to the Ministry of Defence’s so-called “UFO Desk”. While most of our cases turned out to be misidentifications of known objects or phenomena, a small but statistically significant proportion appeared to defy conventional explanation.
“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and… pic.twitter.com/3fKQ7wrSvi
What do you do when you’re living next door to a fascist state?
The United States has collapsed into fascism. Only naiveté blocks this conclusion. And to paraphrase Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, naiveté is not a strategy.
The future is always uncertain, as the heroic people of Minneapolis have shown the world. But as with Russia, we must expect that it is possible the United States will remain fascist far into the future. As with naiveté, hope is also not a strategy.
This is next level TDS written by that college dorm kid who just started smoking weed and is flipping out.
The United States is rapidly expanding its military footprint across the Middle East, positioning major naval and air assets across the region as the Trump administration mounts pressure on Iran.
While the second round of nuclear negotiations wrapped this week and were described as “constructive,” the United States has continued to amass over a dozen warships and hundreds of planes throughout the region.
Canada’s immigration crisis is back in the spotlight, with new data showing the population has grown 34.6% since 2000 — and reports Ottawa will spend $1B this year on related costs.
At this point, if, as soon as a semi-truck driver causes a deadly crash, one predicts that the guilty party is an illegal alien from India named Singh, one has a good chance of being right on target.
The latest such vehicular killer ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle, killing the driver, according to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin. Local police did not confirm the identity of the semi-truck driver, but federal sources communicated to Melugin that the individual in question should never have been in the country, let alone driving a semi-truck professionally.
Canada is finally having the defence conversation it has deferred for a generation. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new $6.6 billion Buy Canadian defence plan promises to prioritize domestic production, expand small- and medium-sized firms into the sector, and create up to 125,000 jobs over the next decade.
At the same time, Canada has pledged to raise core defence spending to 3.5 percent of GDP within 10 years, alongside an additional 1.5 percent for dual use security infrastructure. By 2035, that implies annual defence-related spending approaching $160 billion.
As the US is preoccupied with the crisis in Iran, the Palestinian terror group Hamas has again announced its rejection of President Donald J. Trump’s 20-point plan for ending the war in the Gaza Strip.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, ridership on Toronto’s buses, streetcars and subways struggled to rebound.
But it surged back in nearby cities.
Brampton, Mississauga and parts of Waterloo Region were among the suburbs that rapidly recovered from COVID-19, setting records for the number of passengers and struggling with overcrowding.
