If polling trends don’t change for Liberals, expect more and louder voices for change in leadership, say political players

After Prince Edward Island Liberal stalwart and Senator Percy Downe started a public conversation last week suggesting that the party may want to elect a new leader going into the next election due to tanking polling numbers, political insiders are predicting that more senior Liberals and pundits will be speaking up about it in the coming weeks and months.

“The current polling is going to make these voices louder,” said a former senior Liberal in a not-for- attribution based interview with The Hill Times, last week. “Things have to change quickly.”

Hamas Supporter tortures defenceless mice, paints them then dumps them on floor of McDonald’s

Muslim tortures mice to please fucked up Murder cult idol

Dozens of mice dyed in red, green and black colours shown in TikTok video being released in front of shocked restaurant customers

Video circulating on social media shows a man with a Palestinian flag wrapped around his head pulling up outside a fast food branch in Star City in Birmingham on Monday before grabbing the box of rodents from the vehicle’s boot.

The camera then follows the man as he walks past children outside the restaurant before entering and throwing dozens of mice on the floor, causing those inside to jump back in apparent shock.

He then calmly leaves before shouts of “Free f—— Palestine” and “F— Israel” can be heard.

I guess Hamas supporters just naturally believe that torturing animals will win them hearts and minds. Who let these sick bastards into the west?

Hamas video: Israeli hostages accuse Netanyahu of war crimes

A wee bit “Stockholmish”

Hamas released a video on Monday in which three kidnapped Israeli women angrily appeal to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release them “right now.”

In the video, which was released on Hamas’s social networks and described as “a number of Zionist prisoners held by Al-Qassam send a message to Netanyahu and the Zionist government,” the women accuse the prime minister of failing to act on October 7 to stop the Hamas massacre and now failing to rescue the hostages by enacting a ceasefire.

Conrad Black: Dany Fortin persecution exposes DND’s pattern of abuse and deception

The acquittal of Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin last December on a charge of sexual assault arising from an incident that allegedly took place nearly 35 years earlier, and the failure of the Canadian government to produce any significant documents relating to the case in response to a subsequent lawsuit from Fortin, is disconcertingly reminiscent of the shameful prosecution of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman in 2018. In both these cases, with very different fact situations and charges, there were many indications of a shabbily motivated and prepared prosecution, followed by the frantic ambition of everyone connected with the prosecutions to avoid lawsuits of retribution by settling the claims with presumably ample amounts of the taxpayers’ money in exchange for a ban on any public comment. As I commented at the time of the Norman case, it appeared to be a vindictive and unfounded imputation of discreditable motives to a courageous officer doing his best for the Armed Forces of Canada, to which he had devoted his entire career. In the Fortin matter, the military authorities threw a distinguished combat general to the wolves in capitulation to fuzzy recollections of a complainant who had remained silent about her grievance for most of her life.

Family Guy portrays Harry and Meghan as work-shy grifters

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been given the ‘South Park’ treatment once again, this time by Seth McFarlane’s Family Guy.

In an episode from the newest series of the cartoon satire which aired on Sunday, main character Peter Griffin compares himself to the royal couple, who stepped down as working members of the British Royal Family in 2020 to move to the US.

Sitting in a bar with his friends as he thinks of ways to retrieve money he is owed, Peter Griffin says he’ll ‘go it alone’ – just like the Sussexes.

Leaked U.S. strategy on Ukraine sees corruption as the real threat

Biden administration officials are far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than they publicly admit, a confidential U.S. strategy document obtained by POLITICO suggests.

The “sensitive but unclassified” version of the long-term U.S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kyiv root out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion, and that Kyiv cannot put off the anti-graft effort.

The fragmentation of the old world order

The expansion of BRICS reflects a striking shift in the global balance of power.

The BRICS summit in Johannesburg this week represents a potentially significant moment in the shifting, fragmenting world order.

BRICS – an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – is an economic bloc made up of the fastest-growing developing countries. From the very moment of its first summit in 2009, this bloc has positioned itself as an alternative to the G7 bloc of advanced economies, made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US.

BRIC’s has been described as a collection of failed states, if so can the G7 be described as a collection of incipient failed states?

Family units are being targeted for destruction

I am a retired senior. My parents and I have lived through 47% of the time since 1776 when the country was founded, 54% including grandparents. At that time, the family was defined as a husband, wife, biological children, and extended family. Today many seniors had parents who experienced World Wars I and II, the Roaring ’20s, the Great Depression, and Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal.” Personally, I have memories of World War II and the Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq wars; civil and gay rights; and technology advancements. Together we have experienced 21 different presidents. Our family history is a cornerstone example of American citizenry, including Irish and German immigration. Families gained great wisdom and knowledge from life. They made a huge investment in their country, facing hardships and wars, and they kept the faith. Families have a history of uniting, and together they now realize our country is in serious trouble. A radical and corrupt government agenda has focused on changing the American family that we know and love.

How Kyiv’s kill squads pick off commanders inside Russia

The driver of the Russian army lorry would not have noticed the rifle barrels protruding from the roadside foliage. Far from the border with Ukraine, he was speeding along a deserted country road towards the city of Belgorod.

He may not have heard the first shots clatter into the cab as the six-man Ukrainian special forces team opened fire, sending the lorry jolting off the road and into the tree line, where it came to an abrupt halt. The Ukrainians emptied their magazines into it: they were a long way from home and could take no prisoners.

The Mary Rose (sank 1545) and LGBTQ+ etc., nit combs etc.

The Mary Rose (sank 1545) and LGBTQ+ etc., nit combs etc.

I think we’re beyond peak crazy.

“A circular, reflective surface would have sat within this beech frame. This mirror would have been considered a luxury item on the Mary Rose. Looking at your own reflection in a mirror can bring up lots of emotions for both straight and LGBTQ+ people. For Queer people, we may experience a strong feeling of gender dysphoria when we look into a mirror, a feeling of distress caused by our reflection conflicting with our own gender identities. On the other hand, we may experience gender euphoria when looking in a mirror, when how we feel on the inside matches our reflection.” 

“…These nit combs would have been mainly used by the men to remove nits from their hair… However, for many Queer people today, how we wear our hair is a central pillar of our identity. Today, hairstyles are often heavily gendered, following the gender norm…”
