In 1975 the founder of a new field of biomedical ethics came up with 15 criteria by which someone’s “humanhood” could be judged.
Among the qualities defined by Dr Joseph F Fletcher, an ordained Episcopal priest in the US and a controversial professor of ethics who espoused the virtues of euthanasia, were some minimal intelligence, self-awareness, self-control, a sense of time and concern for others.
These, he said, distinguish us from our animal ancestors.
A father and son from Romania who both applied for refugee status in Canada in early May, but robbed a Lively man in June, have been given the equivalent of five-month jail sentences.
“Gentlemen: your conduct is reprehensible,” Ontario Court Justice Julie Lefebvre told Nicolae Curca, 63, and Laurentiu Vaduva, 37, as she issued identical sentences of one day in jail on Tuesday.
The Crown and defence lawyers suggested the sentences, which take into account their pre-trial custody time.
Oh My! They face possible immigration consequences!
Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to a federal probe that has shaken his administration, sources told The Post.
The historic indictment is expected to be unsealed Thursday by US Attorney Damian Williams, according to the sources. The news was first reported by The New York Times.
Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.
Canada’s fertility rate, which has been steadily declining, has hit a record low and the country is now among the “lowest-low” fertility nations.
Statistics Canada released new data on Wednesday showing that the Canadian fertility rate in 2023 was 1.26 children per woman, which is the lowest recorded level since the agency began collecting data.
The record-low fertility rate was registered across the country in 10 of the 13 provinces and territories.
NO FUTURE. People are reluctant to have children in a nation whose government hates them so much that they import millions from incompatible cultures so they can harvest votes and impoverish their own citizens through depressed wages and unaffordable housing.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office dismissed reports that it had accepted the call for a 21-day ceasefire issued overnight by the United States and France.
“The report about a ceasefire is incorrect,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement it issued while Netanyahu was en route to New York to address the high-level session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The new "Canada Community Snitch Program" will give corrupt organizations like the Canadian Anti-Hate Network back pay – and an astronomical amount of taxpayer funds to target Canadians they politically disagree with.

Ontario’s Ministry of Education has launched an investigation into a Toronto District School Board (TDSB) field trip that saw children participate in a march and chant pro-Palestinian slogans.
The school board said the Sept. 18 field trip, which involved a number of TDSB schools, was meant to be an “educational experience,” during which students would hear from the indigenous people of Grassy Narrows about how their community was impacted by mercury poisoning.
I doubt anything substantive will come of this. Ford is cozy with the teacher’s unions and likely craving labour peace before an Ontario election.
This is what happens to a woman wearing a f*ck Hamas tshirt in downtown Toronto
Jews in this city have to walk down the street and see people wearing pro-Hamas shirts regularly.
The kicker is the police here. A whole group just standing around while this woman is unhinged. pic.twitter.com/nsgoax4a0u

At a time when the new French government is trying to find its way on security and immigration issues, a new tragedy has shaken French public opinion: the murder of Philippine, a 19-year-old Catholic student who was savagely killed and buried in the Bois de Boulogne, just outside Paris. The suspect is a Moroccan illegal immigrant with an OQTF (obligation to leave French territory), who had already been convicted of rape.
The violent crime, which occurred late on Friday, September 20th, is accompanied by a sense of déjà vu.

Liberal Government House Leader Karina Gould claimed criticism of media is an “attack on Canadians” after CTV National News was forced to make an on-air apology for deceptive edits, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
They lie about everything. It’s a sickness.
Nearly half of all Canadians say their access to medical care has worsened over the last few years, with two-thirds experiencing what they consider an unreasonable wait for surgeries and other services, a new survey has found.
As a result, 73 per cent now say they’re open to major reform of the health care system, including a larger role for the private sector. But that doesn’t mean they support private payment: Nearly two-thirds felt it wouldn’t be fair to allow patients to buy medically necessary care because, “the rich would be better served.”
Who is Kamala Harris?
Does she know? Does her campaign know? Are they ever going to settle on an answer?
It’s not a new phenomenon that politicians are fake. Usually, though, a candidate has achieved a steady state a month and a half before a national election — we know what he or she is, or pretends to be, and he or she has worked through various flip-flops long ago.
All of this is still happening with Kamala Harris in real time.
Last week, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, the rapper and music producer, was arrested and charged with sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; racketeering conspiracy; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
As many have pointed out since his homes were raided back in March, the allegations against Combs echo the disturbing pattern of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities. The individuals connected to Combs and Epstein are influential figures in government, media, and entertainment. They shape our culture, and their moral corruption matters because it seeps into the very fabric of our society.
