In a head-spinning example of corporate confusion, inconsistency and hypocrisy, CBC-Radio Canada is defending its use of the ’N-word’ four times on air, after it effectively ended prominent CBC journalist Wendy Mesley’s career for using it twice off air.
Since last fall, PJ Media has been chronicling the U.S. supply chain crisis at our nation’s ports, railroads, highways, airports, and supermarket shelves. Over the intervening months, no amount of presidential or gubernatorial bloviating, phot-op visits, or misguided fines has truly fixed the congested conditions to get the supply chain back on track. And this month, a 2019 Democratic law is set to go into effect which will add even more stress to the already broken system.
An Afghan migrant who raped and sexually assaulted multiple young boys and girls defended his vile abuse as ‘normal’ cultural practice in his home country.
Mohammed Rahman Arsala, 32, moved to Saint-Brieuc in northern France in 2018 where he committed a string of offences.
He was jailed last year for 15 years for raping a 12-year-old boy and was hauled back before the courts last week to answer for further offences against children.
There’s a new development in the story Joe Biden repeated from the White House last week of a ten-year-old Ohio girl who sought an abortion after being raped, subsequently being referred to a doctor in Indiana allegedly because Ohio’s pro-life law restricted her options.
The federal government says it won’t bill provinces and municipalities for the retroactive portion of Mountie salaries while it considers whether to help shoulder some of the burden of a steep pay-raise package.
The RCMP union negotiated its first contract with the Treasury Board last August and gained significant wage increases for its members, prompting some mayors and town councillors to say that because of the heightened costs, they could no longer afford their police.
Costs for the nearly 20,000 RCMP officers are shared between federal, provincial and municipal governments.

A sex worker in Nova Scotia is pursuing a claim for non-payment of services in small claims court, in a case she and her advocates will help shift the conversation about sex work in Canada.
The woman at the centre of the case said she spent an evening with a client in January 2022. Afterwards, she realized she wasn’t going to be paid when the PIN for the bank card he’d given her to withdraw money didn’t work.
The disparity in experiences shared showcased how polarizing the protests have become. To supporters, the protesters were “the most peaceful Canadian citizens ever to gather downtown.” Meanwhile, residents haunted by the sound of horns or the smell of diesel in their neighbourhoods described them as “white nationalists” and said they felt terrorized.
The World Health Organization is set to update its guidance on gender to declare that “sex is not limited to male or female.”
Officials at the international health organization said they’re modernizing its “gender mainstreaming manual” originally published in 2011. The guidance used by health professionals worldwide is being updated based on “new scientific evidence and conceptual progress” on gender, health and development.
Cops responding to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting ran away from gunshots while 19 children and two teachers were left to die in their classrooms, according to new footage of the horrifying attack published Tuesday.
The bombshell video, first obtained by the Austin-American Statesman, shows how police officers dilly-dallied in the hallway of Robb Elementary School instead of going after 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos as he systematically slaughtered 21 people on May 24.

Disgraced South Carolina legal scion Alex Murdaugh will be charged this week over the double slaying of his wife and son, his brother confirmed Tuesday.
Investigators from the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) visited Murdaugh’s younger brother, John Marvin Murdaugh, at home Tuesday to break the news, journalist and true crime author Vicky Ward revealed.
Officers “told the Murdaugh family that Alex Murdaugh would be charged this week with the murder of his wife and son,” Ward tweeted.
That is one messed up family.
The Canadian government’s deal to allow the repair of Russian-owned turbines covers a period of up to two years from now and would allow the import and re-export of up to six units – a far more extensive arrangement than had previously been disclosed.
Two government officials told The Globe and Mail on Tuesday that Global Affairs Canada granted the German industrial giant Siemens Energy an exemption under Canada’s Russia sanctions for two years. This allows the company to send turbines from Nord Stream 1, a pipeline majority-owned by Russian state controlled Gazprom, to Siemens Canada’s facilities in Montreal for regular repair and maintenance.
One of the officials stressed that the arrangement with Siemens allows the Canadian government to revoke the sanctions-relief permits at any time. The Globe is not identifying the officials, who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

MONTREAL – The prosecution in the trial of a Montreal man accused of fomenting hatred against Jews failed to establish that the murder of Jews by the regime of Adolf Hitler was a consequence of Nazi ideology, a Quebec court judge said Friday.
The case involves Gabriel Sohier Chaput, 35, who faces one count of wilfully promoting hatred in connection with an article he has admitted to writing that was published in 2017 on the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer. The blog post included racist images and comments about Jews throughout, and the website displayed photos of Hitler and other images associated with Nazism.
