The State of Hate
I am genuinely sorry for the Jewish kids subjected to such hate. However White kids have been smeared as racists in our schools for years simply for having White skin. Anti-white hate is institutionalized in Ontario thanks to our gutless identity politics playing politicians. https://t.co/041XHVBohb

Who are these people? They supposedly worked for a Toronto police board member’s companies
Until recently, a black-and-white photo of a woman holding her face in her hands was used to depict Mary Ellen Steinam — also known as Ellen Steinam — across social media and on the website of a marketing company founded by Toronto Police Service Board member Nadine Spencer.
Steinam worked as chief operating officer of Spencer’s company BrandEQ for more than a decade, according to her LinkedIn page. Her profile said she was based in New York and had previously held other prominent marketing jobs at Nestle and Saatchi & Saatchi as far back as 1994.
On Facebook and X, she shared posts and photos of Spencer — cheering on her boss and BrandEQ.
This is what happens when DEI racism trumps common sense.

Canada to contribute $5B toward Ukraine loan, source says as G7 leaders meet in Italy
SAVELLETRI DI FASANO, Italy – A senior government source says Canada is prepared to contribute $5 billion toward a loan to Ukraine that will be based on future revenue from frozen Russian assets.
The source, who is not being named because they are not authorized to discuss details publicly, says G7 leaders are finalizing details of the loan.
Leaders of the G7 countries have agreed to engineer a US$50-billion loan to help Ukraine in its fight for survival that would use interest earned on profits from Russia’s frozen central bank assets as collateral.
Ukraine is a seriously corrupt nation, and I say that as someone who supports their cause. Peace had better soon find itself on Zelensky’s agenda.

Greens refuse to deselect candidates accused of ‘antisemitic’ slurs
The Green Party has endorsed half a dozen general election candidates despite allegations that they shared “antisemitic” slurs, conspiracy theories or offensive comments online.
The party has persisted in rejecting the accusations and claimed that legitimate criticism of Israel was being confused with antisemitism. Last week The Times revealed that its candidates had accused Israel of child trafficking and appeared to justify Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel, as well as sharing articles online that claimed they were a “false flag” operation carried out by Israel itself. As details of the terrorist atrocity were emerging on October 7, one wrote “resist”.

How a Toronto Police Officer’s Social Media Posts About Work Harassment Led to Her Firing
Her 10th anniversary as a Toronto police officer was approaching, but Firouzeh Zarabi-Majd was in no mood to celebrate. Embittered by the years of sexual harassment she said that she and her fellow female officers had experienced at work, she was engaged in a one-woman campaign to make her case public across Canada.
She had already gone through official channels, but when that didn’t work she took to social media.
For 18 months, Ms. Zarabi-Majd posted images of the pornography and racist and sexist messages that she said she witnessed in the workplace.
You Paid Hundreds of Millions for Solar Power to Wreck the Environment
Taxpayer dollars continue to go to an unreliable source of energy that often has negative environmental effects.
Your tax dollars will subsidize a solar company cutting down thousands of protected and rare Joshua trees and destroying habitat for the endangered desert tortoise to make way for a massive energy project in California.
The 2,300-acre Aratina Solar Project west of Barstow is intended to generate 530 megawatts of electricity. But it has infuriated residents with construction dust and a likely threat to centuries-old trees and endangered desert tortoises that are the official state reptile of California and Nevada, the usual environmental safeguards so prevalent in California notwithstanding.

Elon Musk had a sexual relationship with a former SpaceX intern, who he later hired onto his executive team, according to The Wall Street Journal. He also had a sexual relationship with a second employee. And a third woman alleged that Musk asked her several times to have his children; she refused.

He’s a big target.
It’s not MAGA that’s a cult
Reflecting their typical disdain for intellectual diversity, discordant Dems are shrilling against MAGA. Despite the fifty-state movement attracting increasing numbers of converts, despondent Dems desperately label it a cult. They even assert that its members need to be deprogrammed.
