HANDS UP! TONE POLICE! – By slamming experts, Pierre Poilievre and his staff are degrading political debate

On Tuesday, when Doris Grinspun, the CEO of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, told CBC that Ontario’s decision to close 10 supervised drug consumption sites is “a death sentence for people that use substances,” the federal Conservatives were quick to attack her.

Sebastian Skamski, a spokesman for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, slammed her on X: “CBC’s so called ‘expert’ (with 23 letters behind her name) deems Trudeau’s crime ridden drug dens ‘essential’ & equates them to cancer treatment centres. These are the WACKO ‘experts’ Trudeau uses to defend his drug disaster. These are the WACKO ‘expert’ voices media peddles.”

Trudeau gov’t draws criticism for ignoring local Jew-hatred, condemning it abroad

Canada draws criticism for ignoring local Jew-hatred, condemning it abroad

The Canadian government condemned the Saturday bombing outside the Beth Yaakov synagogue in the seaside resort town of La Grande-Motte in southern France.

The attack “is a reminder that antisemitism is not a relic of the past—it is a reality experienced by Jewish communities around the world,” the government stated on Sunday. “Canada unequivocally condemns this terrifying attack and stands with France against antisemitism.”

Elon Musk leads parade of tech titans boosting Trump as the true ‘freedom candidate’

A shocking partisan switch is underway in the stratosphere of the tech titans: The industry known for its wokeness is betting big bucks on a Republican.

Last week, former President Donald Trump gave a thumbs-up to the notion of teaming up with billionaire innovator Elon Musk if he wins in November. Hours later, Musk posted a message on X: “I am willing to serve.”

Elon Musk for commerce secretary? Or perhaps for the newly created position of free speech czar?

Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are facing a bloodbath — and he’s ignoring the real problem his party faces

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to reframe public opinion about his unpopular government Monday by pointing out Canada has the strongest economic performance of the G7, reminding Canadians he has provided well-liked initiatives and expressing a willingness to reverse course on issues of concern such as immigration.

But Trudeau had little to say when asked about the biggest issue facing his party: his unpopular leadership.

Violent offenders let off if they say sorry

Police are increasingly letting knife and sex offenders escape prosecution if they say sorry, The Telegraph can reveal.

More than 147,000 people accused of offences including sex crimes, violence and weapons possession were handed community resolutions in the year to March, instead of being prosecuted. Such resolutions do not result in a criminal record.

Police guidance says community resolutions should be restricted to low-level crimes, with offenders required to apologise to the victim, accept “responsibility” for their crime and offer some form of recompense.

Toronto man stupidly rents EV without much thought about where to charge it but CBC says your money can solve his problems

Toronto EV driver can’t use closest overnight charging station because of permit restrictions

A Toronto-based Uber driver spends nearly half an hour most days walking back and forth between an on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging station and his home.

John Chen says he could cut that walk down to eight minutes each way if the city allowed him to use a closer charging station in his neighbouring permit parking zone.

He can’t charge his EV at home because he doesn’t have a designated parking spot and relies on street parking.

Despite living on the edge of his own parking zone near Coxwell Avenue and Dundas Street, Chen says the city told him he can’t get a permit for the other zone to use the closer charger overnight.

France has arrested ‘Russia’s military comms chief’

The surprise detention of the Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France has raised concern in Russia about a potential impact on its troops in Ukraine, who have come to rely on the encrypted messaging app for communications on the front line.

Two days after the detention of the Russian tech billionaire Russian war bloggers, who are typically quite open about problems in the Russian army, have immediately rung the alarm about Durov’s incarceration. France has arrested “the comms chief of the Russian armed forces”, one popular joke online went.

Ottawa needs to abolish the temporary foreign worker program

Canadians are understandably confused by the state of our international migration programs.

The two main pathways by which people are admitted to Canada to work are as economic immigrants (who can stay permanently) and temporary foreign workers. And the public discourse on the two pathways has been contradictory.

Will Israel declare full-scale war on Hezbollah?

Early yesterday morning, Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets and mortars from Southern Lebanon towards Israeli military positions along the border between the two countries. The group cited the strikes as revenge for the Israel Defence Force’s assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr last month.

Hezbollah claims it managed to fire 320 rockets and drones at Israel. The IDF asserts that the number is far lower, and responded almost immediately with artillery strikes targeting the launch sites in Lebanon and specific Hezbollah observation posts near the border.
