Woman who was denied a liver transplant, after review highlighted alcohol use, has died

Questions are being raised about the case of a 36-year-old Ontario woman who died of liver failure after she was rejected for a life-saving liver transplant after a medical review highlighted her prior alcohol use.

Amanda Huska died Aug. 15 after spending six months in an Oakville, Ont. hospital. She had been referred for an urgent liver transplant to the University Health Network Transplant unit in March. However, documents show the Alcohol Liver Disease (ALD) team at UHN rejected her in part because of “minimal abstinence outside of hospital.”

The woman’s partner qualified but was denied the opportunity to act as her donor. I see the logic behind the denial, harsh as it is.

2 Canadians Face 36 Human Trafficking Charges Following 10-Month Probe

Two Canadian residents are facing 36 human trafficking-related charges following a 10-month interprovincial investigation that started in eastern Ontario last fall.

Reports of suspected human trafficking in eastern Ontario last September led to the launch of “Project Nebula” by a joint police task force known as the Provincial Human Trafficking Intelligence-led Joint Forces Strategy, police said in a press release.

No names released. Of course.

Citizens Apprehend Knife Wielding Mohammedan Meat Thief

Hamilton resident Omar Abugalib has been charged with theft under $5,000, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, three counts of assault with a weapon, assault with intent to resist arrest and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) said two people were injured during an incident at a Fortinos’ grocery store at 2515 Appleby Line yesterday (Sept. 4) at around 2 p.m.

“We responded to what was a theft, and the person responsible produced an edged weapon or knife,” HRPS Staff Sgt. Peter Bishop said. “Other members of the public intervened prior to police arriving. I believe there was a minor injury that occurred when the citizens went to intervene. There was another party who had intervened who also received a minor injury.”

Singh decision about cutting NDP ties to Trudeau, not an election prelude

There was likely no New Democrat more relieved to learn that federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had ripped up his deal with Justin Trudeau than Saskatchewan’s NDP Leader Carla Beck.

Beck is in a tough election fight this fall, trying to break the hold on power that the conservative Saskatchewan Party has held on that province since 2007.

Singh is very nearly as toxic as Trudeau and that state will not be mitigated with time and forgetting.

Ottawa warned release of names of Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada could help Russia

Russian propaganda in the war against Ukraine could get a boost from the release of a secret report naming hundreds of alleged Nazi war criminals who later came to Canada, the federal government has been warned.

Ottawa has been considering releasing the remainder of an inquiry report that has been kept secret for decades and contains the names of around 900 alleged war criminals who came to Canada after the Second World War, including members of a Ukrainian SS division.

GOLDSTEIN: Singh, Trudeau still joined at the hip because neither wants an election

Don’t be fooled into thinking that NDP leader Jagmeet Singh’s announcement Wednesday that he’s “ripping up” his supply and confidence agreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau means Singh wants a snap election.

In the real world, he wants to avoid one given his party’s dismal standing in the polls.

Ditto Trudeau and the Liberals, given that Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives have had a double-digit lead over them in the polls for more than a year.

Breaking 54% of Canadians a little slow … Canadians were slightly supportive of Liberal, NDP deal, new poll shows

The Liberal-NDP deal is dead. What did it accomplish?

First Sophie now Jagmeet. Justin is unlucky at love.

The Liberal-NDP deal is dead.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh revealed Wednesday that he’s “ripped up” the supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals. With this major parliamentary pact now caput, here’s a look at everything the deal accomplished — and what’s been left unfinished.

Canada’s clean-tech funding created a global powerhouse. Now scandal threatens to tear it down

OTTAWA—It was once the driver of Canada’s nascent clean-technology industry, supported by Liberal and Conservatives alike.

Publicly funded but arms-length from government bureaucracy since 2001, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) was a lifeline to entrepreneurs desperate to find money for their clean-tech innovations.

That was until a damaging mismanagement scandal rocked the agency and the House of Commons last year, forcing the Trudeau government on its heels and prompting it to launch a drastic overhaul of the fund.

It’s a green slush fund.

The Liberal-NDP deal is dead — but that doesn’t necessarily mean a fall election

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s decision to pull his party out of the confidence-and-supply agreement with the governing Liberals injects a lot of uncertainty into Canadian politics — and it could lead to a federal election earlier than planned.

The Liberal government is on shakier ground now that it can’t rely on the NDP to prop it up on confidence votes in a Parliament where Team Trudeau holds a minority of the seats.

But it doesn’t mean the government will soon fall on a confidence vote — a vote that determines whether the government has the support of the House of Commons.

Cancelled BC teacher jokes about alleged unmarked indigenous graves by ordering orange T-shirt

Former Abbotsford School District (ASD) teacher Jim McMurtry, who was fired for challenging the narrative about unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, encouraged people to order an orange T-shirt asking about them.

McMurtry had purchased one of the orange T-shirts, which can be worn to commemorate children who died in residential schools.

Amy Hamm: Jagmeet Singh’s exit from deal changes nothing

For a moment there, it looked like we could retire “Sellout Singh” and offer some plaudits to Canada’s NDP leader. Not so.

After a week of Conservative party rumblings about a looming no-confidence vote, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced today that his party is pulling out of the supply and confidence agreement that has propped up Trudeau’s Liberals for more than two years. It’s not clear, yet, if Singh plans to trigger an election. That seems unlikely.

Peter Carey: Jordan Peterson’s forced ‘re-education’ should worry millions of Canadians

It appears that freedom of speech is under attack all across the western world. One only has to look at Britain or Ireland to see draconian crackdowns by governments against speech they don’t like. As is typical in these times, it is “woke” leftist governments that are mainly engaging in this behaviour.
