United Nations faces ‘imminent financial collapse’ without urgent action, UN chief says

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations chief is warning that the world body faces “imminent financial collapse” unless its financial rules are overhauled or all 193 member nations pay their dues — a message likely directed at the United States and the billions it owes.

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a letter to all U.N. member nations obtained Friday by The Associated Press that cash for its regular operating budget could run out by July, which could dramatically affect its operations.

Carney Liberals push Bill C-16 that could criminalize normal family conversations

Mark Carney’s Liberal government wants to control everything. With Bill C-9, they seek to remove the religious exemption for prosecutable hate speech; MP Marc Miller specifically cited Bible passages as examples. With Bill C-16, they could open the door to criminalizing conversations between family members after the fact.

The new Bill C-16 (not the 2017 bill of the same name, which prohibited “hate speech” on the grounds of “gender identity and expression” and made Dr. Jordan Peterson famous) has been titled the “Protecting Victims Act,” and was introduced by the Liberals in the 45th Parliament. It has not attracted much attention, but as MP Leslyn Lewis recently highlighted, it may have far-reaching effects.

Anti-ICE protesters clash with fed agents outside DTLA federal building

Hundreds of unruly anti-ICE protesters were locked in a hostile standoff with federal agents outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles Friday.

The mob clashed with officials, who pepper-sprayed the group as it attempted to move closer to the building. Most of the mob covered their faces with masks or scarves, some used gas masks. At some point, federal agents appeared to deploy tear gas into the crowd to disperse the agitators.

It is the right time – socially and economically – to scale back extended health benefits for refugees

On June 18, 2012, doctors and other health care workers all across the country staged a walkout to protest the government’s changes to refugee health care benefits in Canada. Roughly two months earlier, the Stephen Harper government had announced that cuts were coming to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), which provides temporary health care coverage for refugees in Canada.

The IFHP had covered both basic care and extended services, such as vision, dental, and prescription medication, but that was ending: as of June 30, that extended coverage would be eliminated (with the exception of immunizations or medications for diseases that pose a public health risk) for all refugee claimants, and refugee claimants from designated “safe” countries would see their coverage pared back almost entirely.

Revealed: Elon Musk’s anger algorithm that polarises our politics

When he was the television critic of this newspaper, Alan Coren published a collection of his columns under the title Golfing for Cats, with a giant swastika on the cover. His work mentioned none of the three. Coren knew such words sold books, so set out to mock the tricks of a wordsmith’s trade. At the time, this was a joke about human editors gaming human instincts.

Today the same logic governs how most people encounter the world — except the decisions are no longer made by editors but by machines, dominating the news agenda at a scale Coren could not have imagined.

Adam Zivo: Toronto taxpayers on the hook for millions of crack and meth pipes

Newly acquired data shows that the City of Toronto procured millions of meth and crack pipes for “harm reduction” purposes over the past five years — a truly nauseating figure. Worse yet, it appears that municipal bureaucrats are not tracking the associated impacts and have no real evidence that distributing these items produces any benefits.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wins 87.4% in leadership review

CALGARY— Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre secured his party’s endorsement Friday, receiving a resounding 87.4 per cent support from delegates in a referendum on his continued leadership.

The commanding result came as more than 2,500 delegates descended on Calgary for the party’s three-day convention, with the vote on Poilievre’s leadership serving as the main event.

The disappointment among the MSM must be profound. Their wish dream failed to come true.

And … he gave a good speech last night coming across as far more human than the perpetually brittle Carney.
