Singh won’t break pact with Liberals despite concern PM isn’t protecting democracy

OTTAWA – Federal New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh is not willing to break ranks with the minority Liberal government, even after criticizing the prime minister for failing to protect Canada’s democracy.

Singh says the evidence shows Justin Trudeau is willing to accept some level of foreign interference, which weakens democracy and undermines the confidence of Canadians.

Camp intifada? Anti-Israel encampment to host revolutionary summer camp at Canadian university

An anti-Israel protest encampment at the Canadian McGill University is set to host a revolution summer camp for youth starting Monday, Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights McGill announced on Thursday.

Posted on Instagram with a promotional image of keffiyeh-garbed men armed with light machine guns and rifles reading, the summer camp doesn’t clarify the age of campers, but promises to “educate the youth of Montreal and redefine McGills’s ‘elite’ institutional legacy by transforming its space into one of revolutionary legacy.”

I swear they’re being trolled.

Alex Jones assets liquidated to pay Sandy Hook debt

A judge ordered the liquidation of Infowars host Alex Jones’ personal assets, clearing the way for potential payouts to families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting.

However, US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez ruled against a liquidation of Mr Jones’ company Free Speech Systems, which owns the Infowars brand.

Relatives of the victims have won a total of $1.5bn (£1.2bn) in defamation judgements against Mr Jones and his company over his false statements about the attack.

This is getting absurd. Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre owe us better answers, any answers, on the question of traitor MPs

If you ever studied philosophy you’ll be familiar with Plato’s allegory of the cave. The philosopher described people who’ve spent their lives chained in a cave, facing a blank wall. All they know of reality is from shadows projected on the wall created by objects passing in front of a fire behind them.

When it comes to the most alarming type of foreign interference in our politics, Canadians are being put in the same position as those prisoners in Plato’s cave. We’re not allowed to get a direct look at the reality of what’s going on. After all, you know, national security!

Hungary faces fines of €1m a day over hardline migrant policy

The Hungarian government will have to pay a daily fine of €1 million to the European Union unless it backs down and stops pushing migrants back across its borders.

As well as daily penalties, Hungary must pay a €200 million fine for defying previous rulings on refugee policy, the European Court of Justice ruled. Hungary’s asylum policy was “an unprecedented and exceptionally serious breach of EU law”, the court said.

Hungary has no recourse to appeal against the judgment. Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister, must now choose between bowing to the judgment, which he denounced as “outrageous and unacceptable”, or paying huge fines.

Canadian Military Tightens Personal Appearance Rules

The Canadian military is updating its dress regulations in a bid to revisit limits on features like beard length and untied hair.

Starting on July 2, troops with long hair that extends below the lower portion of the shirt collar will have to tie it away from the face. Accessories used to tie hair must also be black or match the same colour as the hair.

With regards to facial hair, soldiers can still sport all kinds of styles, from sideburns to goatees, but length or bulk must not exceed one inch.

Hamas admits they don’t know how many hostages are still alive

A senior Hamas official has admitted the terror group has no idea how many of Israel’s remaining 120 hostages in Gaza are alive or dead.

Osama Hamdan, a Hamas spokesman and political bureau member, told CNN that “no one has an idea” how many of them are still living, and said that any deal to release them must include guarantees of a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces.

The limited release of Israeli hostages is a crucial part of a three-part ceasefire plan that international brokers including the US, Qatar and Egypt are trying to help negotiate between Hamas and Israel.

Guilbeault ridiculed after true cost of carbon tax revealed

After years of denying the negative impact of the carbon tax on the economy, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has released data confirming the tax is a net cost for the economy, contradicting previous claims of revenue neutrality and job creation.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the figures show the carbon tax will cut economic production by $20 billion to $30 billion annually, equivalent to $1,200 per family in extra annual costs, as noted by Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Guilbeault attempted to downplay the findings.

Rahim Mohamed: The Gazan dissidents standing at the ready to replace Hamas

Gaza – one can only imagine the hardship.

It has been more than 250 days since Hamas plunged the people of Gaza into war by slaughtering more than 1,100 people in southern Israel and taking some 250 hostages back across the border into the Palestinian-controlled territory.

And while western media coverage indicates that the ensuing suffering among Gazans hasn’t seriously dented Hamas’s popularity, one dissident on the ground is speaking out about a clandestine movement within Gaza to displace the terrorist organization from power.

There is no such a thing as a “moderate Muslim”.

A Charlottesville Every Day

Every day is a Charlottesville now, but hardly anyone notices.

The small central-Virginia city is a metonymy for the 2017 white-nationalist “Unite the Right” rally that created national shock waves and rocked the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

The antisemitic rhetoric and menacing nature of that event — in a different, left-wing form — are being replicated all over the country in openly hateful pro-Hamas protests.

The trouble with calling everyone ‘far right’

There is a favourite Fleet Street story about the legendary Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie. While editing the paper, he discovered that his horoscope writer was recycling copy. He decided to dispense with her services in a letter that opened: ‘As you will no doubt have foreseen…’

You do not have to hold claims to being a mystic to predict certain things. The results of last week’s EU elections were easily predictable, as was the response from much of the British media. As I uncannily prophesied in last week’s column, the BBC’s Europe editor, Katya Adler, went with: ‘The far right is on the march.’ Elsewhere, she offered the claim that people across the continent often say: ‘This feels like the Europe of the 1930s.’

2 Ontario Police Forces Roll Out Facial Recognition Tech, Sparking Privacy Concerns

Two police services in the Greater Toronto Area are now using facial recognition technology as part of their investigations, sparking concerns from legal observers who say the investigative tool could come at the expense of privacy rights.

Peel Regional Police Service and York Regional Police Service announced the adoption of the software late last month, saying the move comes after consultations with the province’s information and privacy commissioner. The police services also held public consultations in March and April.
