Police arrest parents who complained about daughter’s primary school in WhatsApp group

The parents of a nine-year-old girl were arrested by police after they complained about their daughter’s primary school in a WhatsApp group.

Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine were reportedly detained in front of their young daughter by six officers before being left in a cell for eight hours.

They said they were questioned on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property.

The police are the enemy of the people.

This is not policing by consent. This is China.

It’s about time we stopped paying taxes to fund the salaries of these little gestapo pricks. https://t.co/NNQMw7ESTZ

Ottawa Officer Found Guilty of Discreditable Conduct for Probing COVID Vaccine, Child Deaths Link

An Ottawa police officer accused by the force of using her position to probe the potential linkage between infant death cases and COVID-19 vaccinations has been found guilty of discreditable conduct under Ontario’s Police Services Act.

Constable Helen Grus was ruled guilty of discreditable conduct in a March 25 decision following a disciplinary hearing overseen by retired superintendent Chris Renwick. Renwick said Grus’s actions had the “real potential of bringing discredit to the reputation of the OPS [Ottawa Police Service].”

The Allison Pearson scandal is more sinister than you think

When the police knocked on Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson’s door last year, it prompted a justified national outcry. She was told by two officers on Remembrance Sunday that she was being investigated for ‘stirring up racial hatred’ – all because of a nearly year-old tweet, in which she mistook some British Pakistani protesters for pro-Hamas protesters and railed against ‘Jew haters’. That Pearson promptly deleted it soon after apparently made no difference.

The proof that lockdown critics were ‘debanked’ because of their views

PayPal has admitted that a prominent children’s rights campaigner was “debanked” during the pandemic after speaking out against school closures and mandatory vaccines.

The US online payments giant told Molly Kingsley, founder of the parent campaign group UsForThem, that her account had been terminated in September 2022 owing to “the nature of its activities”.

Hers was one of a handful of accounts that were frozen by PayPal, all of which belonged to individuals or organisations that questioned the government’s policies during the pandemic.

The age of Trudeau’s censorship schemes is over

By proroguing Parliament on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau snuffed the life out of one of his favourite darlings: Bill C-63, also known as the online harms act.

There’s no excuse for suspending democracy at a time like this, but we should at least celebrate the death of this atrocious bill. Had it (or the two bills the Liberals were to replace it with) passed, the Canadian Human Rights Commission would have been made sheriff of the Canadian internet, empowering it to drag anyone through a lengthy tribunal process making online comments perceived to be hateful. What’s worse, anyone reporting mean comments to this tribunal would be allowed to remain anonymous, which would have allowed the process to be weaponized with ease.

Police force at centre of Allison Pearson row did not investigate controversial imam

The police force at the centre of the Allison Pearson row has not investigated a controversial imam who called for “Zionists” to be destroyed.

Users of X, formerly Twitter, alerted Essex Police to comments by Shaykh Shams Ad-Duha Muhammad after footage of him calling for “punishment” of those who support the existence of Israel was posted.

The imam’s remarks came during a sermon at Hamptons Sports and Leisure Centre, in Chelmsford, last year. On Monday, Essex’s police, fire and crime commissioner had been due to speak at the same leisure centre before the address was cancelled with 90 minutes notice.

The Kafkaesque thoughtpolicing of Allison Pearson

Now even newspaper columnists are being investigated for their tweets.

As she was getting ready for a Remembrance Sunday memorial last weekend, Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson heard a knock at her door. Two policemen had turned up, she claims in an article published last night, to accuse her of a ‘non-crime hate incident’ – a tool used by police to record accusations of ‘hateful’ speech, even when no law has been broken. When she asked what tweet this was regarding, and who had made the complaint against her, she was rebuffed by the officers, according to her account.

Jordan Peterson: Canada’s woke nightmare is a warning to the West

Justin Trudeau is creating a new arm of the state with sweeping powers aimed at criminalising opinions deemed ‘unacceptable’ by progressives

The bloom has certainly gone off the rose with regard to Canada’s Justin Trudeau – and most deservedly so.

He was the great hope of modern progressivism, handsome and charming – but his actions and inactions have confirmed the very worst suspicions of those dubious about the moral claims of elites obsessed with green dogma, their excessive demands, and their false compassion.

To put it bluntly: Canada is not thriving. On the economic side, we in the Great White North are now less productive, per capita, than the inhabitants of Mississippi, the least productive American state. Our border is, if anything, more carelessly open than that of our US allies, and our real estate prices are, despite our great expanse of habitable land, much higher.

Trudeau is evil, he’s also off his nut.
