Leaders of a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Toronto say the university has offered to study the issue of disclosure and divestment from Israel, but the protesters say they intend to remain in place until their demands for divestment are met.
The offer to create an ad-hoc committee to study disclosure and divestment was made at a meeting with members of the university’s senior administration on Sunday, student leaders said at a news conference Monday morning.
As the number of Canada’s refugee claimants hits new highs, a Conservative MP has revealed that Ottawa budgets about $224 per day to feed and house some foreigners who claim asylum after illegally entering the country.
Last week, Conservative MP Lianne Rood uploaded documents to social media showing the government’s answer to her question about what “goods and services” are provided to foreigners who have claimed asylum in Canada — but have not yet had their applications reviewed by immigration authorities.
That fucking prick Trudeau.
City of Ottawa officials said Israel’s flag will be raised Tuesday in a private event to mark the country’s national day.
In a statement, the city said it has agreed to allow the Jewish Federation of Ottawa to hold a ceremony, but it’s not giving details about where or when it will be.
Organisers had earnest ambitions of fostering cross-Atlantic ties when they launched an art installation connecting Dublin with New York.
The Portal, which is a large circular screen that allows residents of both cities to communicate via a 24/7 live video feed, was meant to remove “borders and differences” and to “experience our world as it really is — united and one.”
It’s official: therapy culture has come for the Karen. USA Today reports a new, expensive wellness trend — “rage rituals” — in which women pay thousands of dollars to retreat to a safe and remote location, call to mind everything that’s ever annoyed them, and then scream, flail and rage while hitting the ground with sticks.
INSANE: College students are so brainwashed by gender ideology that they're willing to donate their own t*sticles to a trans person to "fight toxic masculinity."

Canada’s government should review breathalyzer laws to protect minorities, defence lawyer says
… In 2018, the federal government changed the law to allow police to use breathalyzer tests at traffic stops even if they don’t suspect a driver is visibly impaired, which paved the way for these new mandatory testing rules.
Defence lawyer Michael Spratt says the feds should revisit this idea because there aren’t safeguards to help protect minorities.
“Police disproportionately pull over racialized and visible minority drivers,” Spratt said, adding that police can use traffic stops as an unfair avenue to search cars and question people, and it’s easy for white drivers to support the change when they’re not getting pulled over several times in a short period.

Most countries have not initiated any mainstream critical public debate about how Covid-19 was addressed. The governments responsible for the outrageously botched response to the virus have not been held accountable. Communist China, despite having unleashed the virus on the world by deliberately lying about its human-to-human transmissibility, has not suffered a single negative consequence. Nothing has been done either about the duplicitous role played by World Health Organization (WHO), which parroted Chinese Communist Party propaganda about the virus, even after having been informed in writing early on by Taiwan that the virus was highly transmissible.
An unknown number of orcas have sunk a yacht after ramming it in Moroccan waters in the strait of Gibraltar, Spain’s maritime rescue service has said, in the latest in a series of similar incidents involving the animals.
The vessel, Alboran Cognac, which measured 15 metres (49ft) in length and carried two people, encountered the highly social apex predators, also known as killer whales, at 9am local time on Sunday.
The passengers reported feeling sudden blows to the hull and rudder before boat started taking on water. After alerting the rescue services, a nearby oil tanker took them onboard and transported them to Gibraltar. The yacht was left adrift and eventually sank.
The capital was built on a lake and has more rain than London. But the supply system is so decrepit that homes are going dry for weeks and residents fear for the future
By day, Alejandro Flores lives in paradise. For the last 30 years, he has punted tourists around the verdant canals of Xochimilco, in the south of Mexico City, where willows, camphor and a bright pink flower that looks like a bougainvillea evoke a subtropical Venice, complete with gondoliers.
But when Flores goes home at night, to his house in the city’s fast-expanding urban sprawl, more often than not, he turns on the tap and nothing comes out.
Just as Hamas targeted young children, even babies, for unthinkable torture and death, pro-Hamas demonstrators in Berkeley targeted a Jewish Community Center (NOT an Israeli facility) with preschool students in class as they chanted slogans through a bullhorn and marched. Even worse, the students who walked out were reportedly accompanied by two vice principals from the Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School as they intimidated the innocent toddlers, guilty solely of being Jewish.
A Queers for Palestine chapter created a human barricade to the entrance of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, prompting a bystander to lose his cool.
On Saturday, the Central Florida branch of Queers for Palestine pulled their cars in a blockade on Interstate 4, claiming that Disney supported genocide.
An angry driver became so irate that he got out of the car to yell at the demonstrators, three of whom were arrested 11 minutes later by Florida cops.

It looks like Joe Biden’s betrayal of Israel is worse than we thought. According to a new report, Joe Biden has been withholding intelligence from Israel regarding the whereabouts of Hamas leaders and their underground command tunnels.
Police crackdown on Gaza protest encampments on campus sparks outcry
… “I personally saw quite a heavily bleeding surface wound that came from a baton strike. I personally saw — this was after the police engagement was over — bruises from non-lethal projectiles that people were showing on their legs and arms,” Kahane said in a phone interview.
“It was not peaceful.”
I lose more blood to my cat before breakfast.
