India’s plans to punish spitting in food spark controversy

This month, two states ruled by India’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced plans to impose hefty fines and imprisonment for contaminating food with spit, urine and dirt.

The northern state of Uttarakhand will fine offenders up to 100,000 rupees ($1,190; £920), while neighbouring Uttar Pradesh is set to introduce stringent laws to address the issue.

The government directives followed the circulation of unverified videos on social media showing vendors spitting on food at local stalls and restaurants – and one video depicting a house-help mixing urine into food she was preparing.


This is why I do not trust any 3rd world staffed fast food joints, restaurants or delivery services in Canada any longer.

Trudeau and his corporate welfare pals like Tim Horton’s in their greed are unwittingly ruining the food services sector of the economy.

Worst. Nazi. Rally. Ever.

Worst. Nazi. Rally. Ever.

When Donald Trump’s campaign announced plans for a rally at Madison Square Garden, Democrats and their media allies knew they had a problem. Trump was going to pack the house on their turf. So they wasted no time pushing the tired Hitler narrative and claimed that the choice of venue was an homage to a pro-Nazi rally held there in 1939.

Tens of thousands of taxpayer accounts hacked as CRA repeatedly paid out millions in bogus refunds

At the height of this year’s tax season, the Canada Revenue Agency discovered that hackers had obtained confidential data used by one of the country’s largest tax preparation firms, H&R Block Canada.

Imposters used the company’s confidential credentials to get unauthorized access into hundreds of Canadians’ personal CRA accounts, change direct deposit information, submit false returns and pocket more than $6 million in bogus refunds from the public purse, an investigation by CBC’s The Fifth Estate and Radio-Canada has found.

… In the end, the public was never alerted to the scheme.

… In a statement, H&R Block said there is no evidence the breach came from it.

Swiss right secures referendum on funding for ‘satanic’ Eurovision

A minor right-wing party that is seeking to derail plans to host the next Eurovision song contest in Switzerland appears to have secured a referendum on whether local taxpayers should foot the bill.

The Federal Democratic Union (EDU), a Protestant fundamentalist vehicle with two seats in parliament, says the show is “appalling propaganda” for satanism, “woke” values and the denigration of Christianity.

Who can blame them?
