B.C. transgender teacher files human rights complaint after online hate, doxxing

Law enforcement is spying on thousands of Americans’ mail, records show

The Postal Service approves thousands of requests every year from police officers and federal agents seeking information from Americans’ letters and packages.

The U.S. Postal Service has shared information from thousands of Americans’ letters and packages with law enforcement every year for the past decade, conveying the names, addresses and other details from the outside of boxes and envelopes without requiring a court order.

Postal inspectors say they fulfill such requests only when mail monitoring can help find a fugitive or investigate a crime. But a decade’s worth of records, provided exclusively to The Washington Post in response to a congressional probe, show Postal Service officials have received more than 60,000 requests from federal agents and police officers since 2015, and that they rarely say no.

Even Justin Trudeau’s resignation might not save the Liberal party, new poll suggests

As the Liberals continue to trail the Conservatives in the polls, a new Angus Reid Institute survey suggests Canadians’ discontent at the reigning party doesn’t stop at just Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

WARMINGTON: Cops should drop van probe, focus on kids used in protests instead

Al Quds Day, Queens Park, Toronto, July 26 2014

Seeing a small child heading up a anti-Israel protest was almost as shocking as seeing kids holding up swastikas.

A small child, whose face is covered with a red and white keffiyeh, was leading a Gaza resistance march Saturday on Yonge St. About five years old and riding on the shoulders of a keffiyeh-wearing adult, the child was speaking into a microphone to marshal a large crowd on Yonge, chanting in Arabic to the beat of a drummer.

It was surreal.


Yes it is surreal but nothing new, as indicated the pic above is from 2014.

Our leadership needs to understand that Islam is a death cult.

Think of fighting the Emperor God worshipping Japanese in WW II.

That is the only way to defeat them.

I do support Ukraine. However I suspect much is not being revealed.

Transphobic Iranian parliament proposes labeling Canadian army as terrorist group

Iranian lawmakers introduced a motion on Sunday to label the Canadian army a “terrorist” entity, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency. This move follows Canada’s recent designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.

The motion was presented during an open session in Tehran, where the Iranian parliament reacted to Canada’s declaration on Wednesday. The new measure mandates the Iranian government to categorize the Canadian army and affiliated armed and security forces as “terrorist” organizations.
