Remember how Canadians were told last winter by several Liberal cabinet ministers that the Emergencies Act was necessary to clear out the Freedom Convoy because the truckers blockading downtown Ottawa were “armed?”
Well, it turns out that was true only because Ottawa police were using a ridiculously broad definition of “weapons.”
Washburn University professor accused of cultural appropriation over Michael Jackson costume
Actor and Director Rob Reiner said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Republicans are willing to “literally kill” to get power.
Anchor Joy Reid said, “I think about the things the Republicans are willing to say things you would think would make them impossible for them to win. Mike Lee going in bragging to a bunch of donors he wanted to pull up security root and branch and get rid of it. He got some applause for it. You have a guy in North Carolina who wants to have rape panels where women have to go before they can get an abortion. You think about this stuff, you think they should not be close. What do you make of the fact that despite saying some of the most outrageous things?”
In politics, as in life, it is generally a good practice to keep one’s friends close and one’s enemies even closer. On the heels of the recent municipal elections in Ontario, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre likely wishes he took this piece of received wisdom to heart.
In one of the few highlights from an otherwise sleepy night (nearly two-thirds of eligible voters stayed home), Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown was comfortably re-elected to a second term in office, cruising past runner-up Nikki Kaur by a two-to-one margin, even though Kaur enlisted high-profile strategist Nick Kouvalis to help guide her campaign. (Kouvalis, one of the most feared backroom operatives in all of Canada, once boasted about his ability to end “politicians’ careers.”)
This is an insane piece. About the only thing Brown’s victory has shown is that Brampton is a shithole and Canada’s 1st Tower Hamlets.

Islamic culture is traditionally very hostile to man’s best friend. Dogophobia is a real problem.
NBA star Kyrie Irving left the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) with egg on its face after the group pledged to partner with Irving and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, to steer a $1 million donation to Jewish organizations following Irving promotion of an anti-Semitic documentary. Then, on Thursday, Irving said that — actually — he had nothing to apologize for.
Now, the ADL is backtracking, with CEO Jonathan Greenblatt pledging not to take any money from Irving but saying he is nonetheless willing to “engage in a process of healing and learning” with the unapologetic anti-Semite.
While the world’s eyes were on Ottawa as the standoff between the Truckers Convoy protest and authorities hit its peak, one of the boldest acts of domestic eco-terrorism ever seen in Canada was committed against a construction camp in Northern BC. Just after midnight on Feb. 18, 20 masked attackers armed with axes attacked staff at a Coastal GasLink (CGL) site, terrorizing workers and causing millions of dollars in damage.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is weighing “all different options” when asked Friday whether Ottawa will seek to amend the use of the controversial notwithstanding clause.
Trudeau’s comments come as 55,000 Ontario education workers took to the picket lines on Friday in defiance of the provincial government, which passed a law Thursday pre-emptively using the notwithstanding clause to make job action “illegal.”
A week removed from the alleged attack on Paul Pelosi in his home, questionable reporting on the incident hasn’t abated. In fact, NBC News just “Jeffrey Epsteined” their own coverage and Fox News host Tucker Carlson led off his program with the most logical conclusion as to why.

The Canadian healthcare system is experiencing an acute shortage of basic painkillers, particularly acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which are commonly used to relieve pain and fever in children during flu season.
Canada’s Association of Medical Assistance in Dying Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) chose this perhaps awkward moment to roll out a webinar for healthcare professionals that advised them to offer assisted suicide to their suffering patients.
A prosecutor is urging a Toronto judge to find that Kevin George was one of four men who engaged in a gunfight at a birthday party for his one-year-old son, saying the accused advertised his involvement by wearing a custom-made “Daddy Shark” T-shirt.
George opened fire amid “a sea of innocent people,” prosecutor Paul Zambonini said Friday in the west Toronto courthouse at 2201 Finch Ave. W.
“This is absolutely shocking, outrageous, disgusting behaviour. It’s incredible that these men chose to fire some 20 shots when there’s a children’s birthday party,” he said, directing the judge’s attention to a “bouncy castle” visible in video surveillance images.
Well at least he showed for his son’s birthday. Now it’s time to harass some legal gun owners!
A public hearing will be held Saturday to allow Ottawa residents to describe their experiences during last winter’s “Freedom Convoy” occupation downtown.
The Ottawa People’s Commission on the Convoy Occupation has been conducting an inquiry of its own into the convoy. The group says it wants to put the spotlight back on what Ottawa residents endured during the three-week protest.
Ottawa is a foreign country populated by grifters on the public tit.
MONTREAL – Canada has seen a spike in the number of Mexicans seeking asylum here this year, with the vast majority of them coming to Montreal. They say they are fleeing Mexico in search of jobs and safety, but statistics show most applicants from the country are rejected.
Ricardo Santos, 28, arrived at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport on Oct. 4. He says that although he did not know much about Canada, there was a direct flight to Montreal from Mexico City.
“I left because there is no work and there is a lot of violence,” Santos said in a recent interview outside a downtown YMCA, where he was staying while his refugee application was processed. “Mexico is becoming a more dangerous country.”
