Last autumn, B.C.’s top doctor, Bonnie Henry, commissioned a confidential report from American drug policy expert Jonathan Caulkins examining the “economics” of safer supply diversion. The document, which was completed in March, was apparently so secret that even Premier David Eby was unaware of it — when news of its existence leaked in April, he told reporters that he was blindsided.
Flatulence is a fact of life, although social mores apply, but a judge has ruled that breaking wind on a younger colleague at work amounts to age discrimination.
At the centre of what could be the start of defining legal boundaries on the matter are two Birmingham city council workers. Lee Marsh, a manager in his late fifties, was said to have found it “amusing” to pass wind on a younger colleague eating his lunch.

Author Jordan Peterson’s legal battle with the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO) has come to an end.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed his application for leave to appeal from the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Ontario with costs. No reasons were given.
Peterson had asked Canada’s highest court to consider hearing an appeal of a decision upholding a lower court ruling that he take social media training as ordered by the College. Peterson has been a registered clinical psychologist since 1999, but has not had a clinical practice since 2017.

… These ordinary people don’t want to “weaponize the deaths of the children”. They want a government whose policies no longer get their children killed. And when democratic and civil processes are all closed to them due to a classist, corrupt, bloated bureaucracy … they will resort to Violence. It is simply human nature.
Peaceful protest is a group-bonding, luxury activity. Serious protest is violent and ugly – and it is the only thing that can affect real change when a government is against the common man in every way. When the democratic system no longer works, and is corrupt from root to shoot, there is nothing more that can be done.

Douglas Todd: It’s become the new thing among the West’s centre-left politicians — to regret the super-charged migration rates of the past three years. And acknowledging they’ve been hurting the finances of many, including the young.
It has become the new thing among centre-left politicians — to bemoan the super-charged migration rates of the past three years.
Australia’s Labour Prime Minister Anthony Albanese now says his country’s migration system “isn’t working properly.”
Britain’s new Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his nation needs to be “less reliant on migration.”
Unfortunately for Canadian citizens mass immigration is seen as a weapon by the Liberal-Left and their corporate cronies.
Trudeau and Singh see identity politics as the path to electoral success and as the means to destroy the white working class that rejects their elite values of diversity, multiculturalism, DEI and CRT all of which have been used to demonize and discriminate against Whites because … our skin is white.
The Trudeau government considers it mission accomplished to have caused serious harm to Canada’s demographic by the mass import of incompatible cultures resulting in a low trust balkanized society.
As for Canada’s corporate welfare class they love driving down wages by employing cheap foreign labour. Getting caught is just the cost of doing business.
And of course there’s profits galore just waiting for those able to exploit the shortages mass immigration brings.
But it’s all legal of course just like the Nuremberg Laws.

The BBC tracks down a Canadian hockey player, a dad in Pakistan and a Texan named Kevin linked to Channel3Now.
What connects a dad living in Lahore in Pakistan, an amateur hockey player from Nova Scotia – and a man named Kevin from Houston, Texas?
They’re all linked to Channel3Now – a website whose story giving a false name for the 17-year-old charged over the Southport attack was widely quoted in viral posts on X. Channel3Now also wrongly suggested the attacker was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.
This, combined with untrue claims the attacker was a Muslim from other sources, has been widely blamed for contributing to riots across the UK – some of which have targeted mosques and Muslim communities.
The UK is now seeing Soviet levels of propaganda with fake stories of '100 riots planned' by the 'far-right' which never happened supplanted with puff pieces for regime backed far-left 'counter-demonstrations'.#TwoTierKier pic.twitter.com/MwbMPl6kIQ

Unsealed documents reveal past of Edmonton terror convict
An Edmonton gas station employee convicted in the U.K. of a terrorism offence came to the attention of the RCMP after returning to Canada from Lebanon in 2017, records obtained by Global News reveal.
The unsealed court documents show that Khaled Hussein, sentenced to five years last week for joining extremist group Al-Muhajiroun in 2020, was born in Alberta but spent much of his life in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.
At age seven, he moved with his family to Lebanon to learn Arabic and because “things were difficult for Muslims in Edmonton” following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, his mother wrote in a witness statement.
Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris met with two Arab Americans leading the Uncommitted National Movement, who asked her to consider an arms embargo on Israel, at a campaign stop in Michigan, the New York Times reported.
Just before her rally, Harris met with Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed, who, according to the report, “wanted to support her but… wanted her to consider an arms embargo.” In response, Harris indicated she was “open to it” and introduced the two community leaders to her staff.

OTTAWA – Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says federal departments are reviewing how two men with suspected links to a terrorist group abroad were allowed into Canada.
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son, Mostafa Eldidi, 26, were arrested in Richmond Hill, Ont., last week and face nine different terrorism charges, including conspiracy to commit murder on behalf of the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
I bet that’ll be real thorough.
“F–k the reactionaries, f–k this far right, f–k all of those who would like to lock us into a war of all against all,” she said in an interview with Le Monde published Tuesday, notably using the swear word in English.

Ontario Premier requests Wasaga beach visitors not poop in the sand
Doug Ford is asking beachgoers to kindly stop pooping into the sand at a popular Ontario summer destination.
Speaking to reporters during a Wednesday morning press conference, Ontario’s Premier was asked to weigh in on persistent social media rumours claiming visitors to Wasaga Beach are erecting tents, digging holes and defecating into the sand — a claim amplified by a local TikToker last month but derided as disinformation by town and provincial officials.

Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed Wednesday that Ukrainian forces had crossed the border into the Kursk region of western Russia and carried out an attack, describing the operation as a large-scale “provocation.”
“The Kyiv regime has launched another major provocation,” Putin told members of the Russian government at a meeting, claiming that Ukraine was “firing indiscriminately” using various types of weapons, including rockets, “at civilian buildings, residential houses, ambulances.”
Putin’s statement followed a Russian Defense Ministry announcement late Tuesday night that up to “300 Ukrainian militants” launched a cross-border attack on Tuesday morning and had entered Russian territory along with “11 tanks and more than 200 armored vehicles.”
