Customs Agents Did Not Seize Any Contraband From Trains for 4 Years: Federal Records
Canada’s customs agents did not seize any contraband by rail over a four-year period before 2022, federal records show.
“The CBSA [Canada Border Services Agency] did not seize any illegal items from train cars for the years 2018 to 2021 inclusively,” cabinet wrote in an Inquiry of Ministry tabled in the House of Commons by Conservative MP Adam Chambers last November, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
The inquiry had asked for the number of trains the CBSA “physically inspected” since 2018, and of those inspected, “how many contained illegal items.”
Women can’t fly F-35 jets as helmets are too heavy, RAF chief admits
Women in the RAF cannot fly F-35 Lightning jets because the helmets provided are too heavy, Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston has admitted.
Wigston told MPs that the RAF had not approved a lighter helmet because of safety fears. He said a more pressing concern was that women were not being trained as pilots, pointing to a “woeful gender diversity” problem in the RAF.
Male cross-dresser teacher is fired after sharing salacious TikTok videos of himself with sixth-grade students
A transgender substitute teacher in Maine has been fired after she was accused of sharing her TikTok handle in class, encouraging students to visit her page.
Lydia Lamere’s now-deleted posts included her discussing Hormone Replacement Therapy and posing in the bathroom wearing just a towel, The Maine Wire reported.

No EI benefits for man fired over COVID-19 vaccine, test refusal: Federal Court
If you were fired from your job for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine and test, there is a good chance you won’t be eligible for any unemployment benefits in Canada, legal experts say.
A federal court decision last week stated that a man in Ontario was not entitled to receive Employment Insurance (EI) benefits after he was terminated from his health-care job because he failed to comply with the employer’s policy regarding COVID-19 vaccination and testing.

Gay guy suing because he can’t donate sperm
A gay man is taking the federal government to court, challenging the constitutionality of a policy restricting gay and bisexual men from donating to sperm banks in Canada, CTV News has learned.
“[It’s] like you’re undesirable because of your gayness as a donor … It feels like such an arbitrary rule,” said Aziz M, the man who is pushing to change the rules. Out of concern for his privacy, CTV News has agreed not to use his full name.
Currently, a Health Canada directive prohibits gay and bisexual men from donating sperm to a sperm bank unless they’ve been abstinent for three months or are donating to someone they know.
I say let him donate, but also inform the recipient that the kid might be a real bitchy flamer like the complainant.
Satanists plan to open New Mexico abortuary named after Justice Alito’s mother
Self-professed satanists are reportedly planning to open an abortion facility disgustingly named after pro-life U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s mother. Alito wrote the opinion in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which rolled back 49 years of federal abortion precedent by overturning Roe v. Wade, thereby eliminating the federal “right to abortion.”
According to The Satanic Temple (TST), however, that life-saving Supreme Court decision might never have happened if Alito’s mother had just had the opportunity to murder her son in the womb.
Taxi drivers are asking for advance payment to go to ‘dangerous’ areas of Toronto
A seemingly endless wave of violent crime may have some would-be transit riders opting for other means of getting around the city, and even Toronto’s taxi drivers are on edge as shocking headlines continue to be published daily.
Riders opting for the old-fashioned mode of taxis to get around town are finding some drivers reluctant to accept fares to particular areas of the city without a cash advance payment, a scenario playing out even for well-dressed senior citizens.
Seems scammy, I think some of the cabbies are often the “bad neighborhood.”
More on TO … Judge tosses attempted murder charge in latest of four gun cases to collapse over Toronto police conduct
An attempted murder charge tossed by a judge this week — the fourth firearms case to collapse in the past two months due to Toronto police conduct — has sparked concerns about the force’s handling of gun cases.
The judge’s decision on Tuesday found police failed to disclose evidence on an alleged shooting ambush in a timely fashion. Judicial reasons for tossing the other cases include racial profiling, an unwarranted no-knock raid, and slow disclosure.
This week’s ruling also comes as Toronto police presses the federal government for legal reforms to crack down on firearms cases.

An alleged $500 million Ponzi scheme preyed on Mormons. It ended with FBI gunfire.
LAS VEGAS — The FBI arrived at the only house on this stretch of Ruffian Road at 1:25 p.m., parking out front of the $1.6 million property, hedged by empty lots of scrub and dust.
The three agents approached the camera-equipped doorbell at the home’s perimeter, pressing it once. Then they pushed past an unlocked gate, cut through the courtyard and rapped against the glass French doors of Matthew Beasley’s home.
The Las Vegas attorney, then 49, had been anticipating this visit for months, he would tell an FBI hostage negotiator. He’d already drafted letters to his wife and four children, explaining what he could and describing how much he loved them.
They were promised 50% returns. How could that be suspicious?
AFN national chief calls outside probe of her workplace conduct ‘colonial’
Assembly of First Nations National Chief RoseAnne Archibald claims the workplace misconduct investigation probing her treatment of staff is following a “colonial path” because its non-Indigenous investigators could “demonize” Indigenous cultural practices.
The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) launched an external investigation of Archibald’s conduct last spring after four of her senior staff and the AFN’s outgoing CEO accused her of bullying and harassment.
In a memo sent on Jan. 26 to chiefs-in-assembly, Archibald called the probe a “colonial legal process” that distracts from the AFN’s real work.
Who’s conducting the investigation Sir John A?
