I was happily cruising Twitter looking for something to be outraged about, and of course it was super easy to find.
Today’s episode of ridiculousness is provided by an old standby: President Joe Biden. He always good for a laugh, at least if you are into octogenarians drooling, tripping, and wandering off into the wilderness, but his administration keeps fouling things up and embarrassing the country.

Justice Minister David Lametti says Ottawa is building a foundation to allow Indigenous legal systems to flourish alongside the Canadian justice system.
Lametti made the comment Thursday at the new Indigenous Peoples Space on Parliament Hill, where he announced $1.5 million in federal funding over three years to help Métis Nation governments develop an Indigenous justice strategy.
“When justice is part of a spiritual tradition, when justice is part of a community tradition or a nation’s tradition, it will work better,” Lametti said at the first press conference ever held in the Indigenous Peoples Space.
I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Why are Canadians’ cellphone bills higher than other countries?
Despite government promises to lower the cost of mobile wireless plans and efforts to promote more competition in the market, many Canadians feel they’re paying too much with few options for getting better rates.
But the industry will tell a different story: that of a market with fierce or at least adequate competition, and companies providing Canadians with rates comparable to the rest of the world despite extraordinary challenges.
A Marketplace investigation into the cost of telecom services in Canada has found that many of the oft-quoted industry explanations for high wireless prices — costly operating margins and a sparse Canadian population, for example — are insufficient to explain lower prices found in other countries and even between some provinces.
This is an evergreen Canadian story.
Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will attend the globalist World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting this month, but Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) leader Pierre Poilievre has said a hard no to any of his MPs attending.

A pickup truck decorated with a Confederate flag at the “Freedom Convoy” in Ottawa early last year was driven by a local roofer who supported the protests, not by Liberal government “provocateurs” as convoy organizers alleged at the public inquiry into the invoking of the Emergencies Act.
Maurice Landriault told CTV National News that it was his Dodge Ram 2500 seen on Elgin Street and at a protest site at Confederation Square, but he denies the flag he mounted on the tailgate next to a Canadian flag was offensive.
“It’s a sign of independence,” he said. “I look at it as a rebel sign. In the biker community, a lot of people have the Confederate flag because we’re rebels.”
Boy aren’t you glad this has been cleared up? What’s that? You say it was all MSM Hysteria designed to tar all the protesters and criminalize dissent? Yea, you’re right but that’s what they’re paid to do.

‘A raw nerve’: Alberta professor to assess level of white supremacy in military
The Department of National Defence has awarded a grant to a University of Alberta professor to conduct a deep dive into the extent of white supremacy in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Andy Knight, a professor of international relations and the school’s first provost fellow in Black excellence and leadership, made a proposal to the federal department last fall in which he drew attention to racism in the military.
Over the next year, he is to assess just how entrenched radicalization, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and anti-Black sentiments are in the Forces and come up with a suggested policy to respond.
… Knight said he decided to pursue the research after noting that there were a number of active Canadian soldiers participating in last year’s “Freedom Convoy” protest in Ottawa, which began with anger over COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers, but attracted some more radical elements as it grew.

The University of Southern California’s School of Social Work has published a letter saying it will remove the word ‘field’ from its curriculum and practice and replace it with the word ‘practicum’ instead.
The move is meant to reflect ‘anti-racist’ values, but some have argued that it insults the intelligence of the people who it is addressing.
‘This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that could be considered anti-Black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language,’ the letter read.
