Toronto’s homeless shelters house almost triple the number of kids they before Trudeau

Toronto’s homeless shelters now house almost triple the number of kids they did eight years ago — with more than 1,400 in hotel rooms paid for by city hall

… As of September, nearly 1,500 kids were staying in the city’s shelter system, two thirds of whom were 10 or younger, as well as more than 1,400 children waiting for space in scattered hotel rooms paid for by city hall

… These “bridging hotel” rooms are different from hotels leased as temporary shelters during the pandemic, which are now considered part of the regular shelter system and offer more services like meals. The federal government also operates its own network of hotels specifically for refugees.

Pentagon suspects employee of Iranian origin in Israeli strike plan leak – report

The Pentagon has reportedly named Chief of Staff of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations, Ariane Tabatabai, as the prime suspect for an alleged leak of classified documents, Sky News Arabia reported on Tuesday, citing a senior Pentagon official.

Tabatabai, an American of Iranian origin, is also an officer in US Naval Intelligence.

Her name has been bandied about for some time as someone to watch. This deliberate carelessness speaks volumes about the Biden-Harris admin.

Cats beat babies at word association game

Pest.

Contrary to their reputation for being largely indifferent to the ways of humans, cats pay close attention when we speak and can beat babies at a word-association game, a study suggests.

The research seems to show that cats can assign a meaning to a word in a matter of minutes. Moreover, they did this without special training or the prospect of being rewarded, which mirrors how infant humans learn languages.

Civil servants sued by colleague over claims transgender people can’t change sex

Two civil servants are being sued by a colleague who claims their view that transgender people cannot change their sex is discriminatory.

It marks the latest row in the Whitehall “culture wars” in which civil servants who believe that sex cannot be changed feel they are victims of a “witch hunt” by “bullies with a dangerous agenda”.

The case will go to court on Tuesday to determine if the civil servant who is bringing the claim can remain anonymous.

CBC president accuses MPs of trying to ‘vilify’ and ‘discredit’ her, defends executive bonuses

OTTAWA — The CEO and president of CBC/Radio-Canada says she believes members of the parliamentary heritage committee have been using her appearances to “vilify and to discredit” her, along with the public broadcaster as a whole, as she defended bonuses paid to executives.

Tait deftly accomplishes her own self-vilification. Just listen to this entitled nonsense justifying the tax payer picking up the tab for her Paris Vacay.

Trudeau’s National Security Adviser & Deputy Minister Of Foreign Affairs Leaked Sensitive Intelligence Info About India To Washington Post

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser and the deputy minister of foreign affairs provided sensitive intelligence about India to The Washington Post days before the RCMP publicly alleged that Indian government agents have been linked to homicides, extortions and other violent criminal activities in Canada, two sources say.

The leak to the U.S. publication about the killing of a Winnipeg Sikh leader and the role of India’s Home Secretary in violent acts in Canada stands in contrast to Mr. Trudeau’s view of leaks of classified information on China’s interference activities. Last week, he told the public inquiry into foreign interference that “a criminal leaked classified information” about China’s meddling in 2023 to The Globe and Mail.

So Justin and his girlfriend leaked intelligence data to stamp out the anti-Trudeau mutiny.
