So much for Lest We Forget.
When it comes to Canadians who served their country in war and died, they always say we will remember. Until, of course, it’s no longer politically correct to do so.

‘Jesus Was Gay’: CBS Yucks It Up With Anti-Jesus ‘Comedy’
CBS’s late night comedy game show After Midnight went off rails on Thursday as host Taylor Tomlinson and her fellow comedian guests yucked it up with some cheap and flippant anti-Jesus and “Jesus was gay” laughs.
So edgy!
If you thought Canada was over its separation anxiety, there’s an unpleasant surprise brewing
It’s not a topic of conversation in English Canada. Mention “separation” in a political context and, just like Google search results, the discussion is likely to be about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s split from his spouse Sophie Grégoire or, as the Edmonton Journal recently put it, Alberta’s “slow-motion” separation from Canada. Quebec separation? Well, that matter was placed on the far back burner — you know, the one you forget about until it starts to burn?
If they take Trudeau I’m good.
Vatican tightens checks on weeping Madonnas that multiply pizzas
The Pope has cracked down on Church endorsements of statues of the Virgin Mary that allegedly weep blood and perform miracles, even if they draw huge crowds.
In a new document issued on Friday, the Vatican ruled that only the Pope, not bishops, will on rare occasions rubber stamp supposed supernatural events including the stigmata, when a person suffers mysterious cuts similar to Christ’s wounds on the cross.
CBC chief says broadcaster isn’t making specific plans for loss of public subsidy
The head of the CBC says that while the public broadcaster must prepare for “all possible outcomes,” it doesn’t have a specific plan in the works for the possibility of a future Conservative government cancelling all or part of the Crown corporation’s public subsidy.
In an interview that airs Saturday on CBC Radio’s The House, CBC president and CEO Catherine Tait said she has been working on efforts to transform CBC/Radio-Canada into a more efficient and valuable service — but the specific prospect of defunding is not a focus of those efforts.
“Of course we worry about the possibility, but I don’t think that … spending a whole lot of time trying to guess what that will look like is really going to be effective over the next months. Our job is to convince Canadians of our value,” she told host Catherine Cullen.
Canadian man who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband gets 30 years in prison
The man convicted of attempting to kidnap then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband with a hammer was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison.
Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley handed down the sentence for David DePape, 44, whom jurors found guilty last November of attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official. Prosecutors had asked for a 40-year prison term.

Trudeau wrecks country screams ‘ABORTION’ in hope you don’t notice
Chris Selley: Trudeau’s abortion shtick reaches new lows
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that Canadian conservative leaders are as much of a threat to women’s right to a safe abortion as the rollback of the landmark Roe v. Wade court decision was in the United States,” the Toronto Star reported this week. I was disbelieving. Even by the standards of Trudeauvian hyperbole and Canada’s kabuki abortion politics, that would be a hall-of-fame howler.
Humanity has no strong protection against AI, experts warn
The world currently has no “strong” protections against the dangers of AI, a landmark scientific report has warned.
A panel of 75 experts from 30 countries has also concluded that developers building AI systems “understand little about how their systems operate” and scientific knowledge is “very limited”.
They are critical of AI companies for failing to provide enough access to safety inspectors.
Canadian Renters Now Required To Collect Foreign Landlord’s Taxes, Withhold Rent
Canadian renters are getting a rough introduction to the country’s foreign investor problem. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) just informed tenants they’re on the hook for any unpaid taxes their non-resident landlord may owe. In a bizarre decision, the nation’s tax authority is telling tenants who pay rent to non-resident landlords to withhold a portion and remit it on their behalf, or they may be liable for the amount with penalties. To complicate things further, one Ontario policymaker warns tenants that have inquired about withholding have been threatened with eviction.

A 60% interest rate wasn’t enuff???
Harold the Mortgage Closer accused of charging ‘vulnerable’ people interest rates up to 76 per cent
Ontario is moving — again — to shut down Harold the Mortgage Closer, alleging he has for years carried out a scheme that charged “vulnerable” people up to 76 per cent interest on mortgages.
Enforcement action by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario comes on the heels of a Toronto Star investigation into a mortgage deal that Harold Gerstel and his companies had with the late Judy Allen, a senior who eventually lost her North York bungalow to Gerstel.
The regulator says it has now looked more deeply into Gerstel’s activities and found five other cases. Among them, situations in which, the regulator alleges, Gerstel’s effective interest rate was as high as 76 per cent. Canada’s Criminal Code has set 60 per cent as the highest legal interest rate allowed.
