A bill making its way through the Canadian Parliament would impose draconian criminal penalties on hate speech and curtail people’s liberty in order to stop crimes they haven’t yet committed.
In 1984, George Orwell coined the term thoughtcrime. In the short story “The Minority Report,” the science-fiction author Philip K. Dick gave us the concept of “precrime,” describing a society where would-be criminals were arrested before they could act. Now Canada is combining the concepts in a work of dystopian nonfiction: A bill making its way through Parliament would impose draconian criminal penalties on hate speech and curtail people’s liberty in order to stop future crimes they haven’t yet committed.
Precrime!
We need to define hatred in the Criminal Code. We need strict penalties for violent acts of hate. We need the ability to stop an anticipated hate crime from occurring.
The Online Harms Act does all of this. The Conservatives need to get on board. Now. #StopHate #ProtectKids

The country that the boys on the beaches of Normandy fought for no longer exists.
On June 6, 1944 — 80 years ago, to the date — some 73,000 American soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy, stormed into the Nazi machine gun fire, scaled the cliffs beyond the sand, and began the long, grueling task of taking back a continent. 2,501 of them — many teenagers, some in their early 20s — would never see the other side. “We were all kids between the ages of 17 and 24,” recalled one American veteran. When their boat touched the beach, “it was like a movie…the horizon just erupted.” “I didn’t know what was happening,” said another. “I only knew I had to do what I had to do.”
Pick an allied nation and the same holds true.

Pakistani jihadists threatened attacks on Christians in response to the burning of the Swedish Quran. But they never needed an “excuse” to tear them apart.
A Christian family was attacked in Sargodha, Pakistan, after being accused of having “offended Islam”. The neighborhood was invaded by Islamic fundamentalists and fires were set. Muslims in the neighborhood destroyed the family’s house and lynched one of them. They didn’t speak Swedish, but Urdu. And they were not “colonialists”, but as indigenous as Muslims.
These are scenes that seem to come from another time, but they come from a country that is a member of the UN Human Rights Council. And as in the Jewish October 7th, the wolves film their victims with cell phones.

A Calgary woman whose father has challenged her euthanasia request in court is starving herself to death and expects to die within weeks.
The 27-year-old autistic woman, who can only be identified as MV because of a court order, has asked judges to let her get a lethal injection — despite objections from her dad.
She’s now starving herself to death, and wants judges to greenlight her euthanasia request so she doesn’t perish in an ‘incredibly unpleasant’ manner.

As Imperial Japan pursued a strategy of aggression and murderous destruction in China, the United States in 1940 sought to confront Tokyo with a strategy of economic restrictions, trading embargoes, and the threat of frozen financial assets.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) said at the time it was not his intent to bring Japan to its knees but to its senses.
There are lessons from policies and strategies forged nearly 85 years ago that need to be learned and applied as it becomes evident to those even in deliberate denial that Iran remains the malevolent force in the Middle East, masterminding the recent carnage inflicted by Hamas on Israel.
The West will be forced to reckon with the threat posed by the 5th Column of Islamists within its borders.

Calgary crews continue to search for the source of a “catastrophic” break in a feeder water main that’s plunged the city’s water supply into a critical state.
The large water main — as wide as two metres in parts — suffered a break Wednesday night that left hundreds of homes and businesses in the city’s northwest without water.
During an update Thursday afternoon, the city said Calgary remains under Stage 4 water restrictions, meaning mandatory outdoor water restrictions remain in effect.
So easy to cripple a city?
I admit, I don’t understand how it all works so I have questions.
A water main break in NW Calgary has now put all 1.5 million residents under a severe water restriction status where they can’t even shower.
We don’t know how long this will last.
So how is it that one water…

Frederiksen was said to be “shocked” by Friday’s incident, according to her office, but no further details were given on her condition. A man was arrested at the scene of the attack, in the Danish capital’s Kultorvet square, and led away in handcuffs.

MSNBC host Joy Reid faced her greatest nightmare during Wednesday’s episode of The ReidOut. She described Republican movements in several states attempting to revive traditional values, warning about the apparent tragedy that would result should these standards be restored in society. And despite being the one who sees the world in the racial tones of black and white, she ridiculously claimed a GOP governor “banned color.”

Chicago police, the Secret Service, and other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies sound confident that they’re able to handle any protests that occur at the Democratic National Convention in August.
I wonder if they can cope.
Chicago has a local population that treats looting as reparations.
They also harbour a great resentment toward the Dems for the mass dumping of migrants in Chicago which the locals feel has cost them assistance that rightfully belongs to the black community.
Don’t discount the situation being exploited by outside agitators, principally Islamists.
Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus says he wants police to take harassment and threatening behaviour complaints seriously after charges against a man accused of uttering death threats against him and his staff were thrown out due to evidence being lost.
The New Democrat MP said he had been subpoenaed to testify at the trial in Kirkland Lake, Ont., last week when he received a call cancelling his appearance.
In a court recording obtained by CBC, the Crown prosecutor told Justice Joseph Gilbert Raoul Maille that the evidence had gone missing.

The prosecution rested on Friday in Hunter Biden’s gun trial with the defense now scheduled to bring witnesses to the stand. The trial will likely conclude next week.
