A whistleblower says the CIA mysteriously intervened in a Department of Justice investigation into Hunter Biden by stopping prosecutors from interviewing the first son’s multimillionaire “sugar brother,” Kevin Morris, who was funding his legal defense and living expenses. Congress is now asking Langley why.
The philanthropist behind the University of Manitoba’s largest-ever personal donation — $30 million — has denounced a speech made by a valedictorian for medicine grads and admonished the university for letting it happen.
… “I’m sure that some of you here today are worried that you might face censure for speaking about the genocidal war that Israel is waging on the people of Palestine, that it could jeopardize your career before it’s even begun,” Newman said in his speech.
“But … surely, I don’t have to remind any of you that advocacy is literally in our job description.”
A video of the convocation that included Newman’s speech had been posted to the U of Manitoba’s YouTube page. By Tuesday, the video was no longer available there.

Toronto to take human-rights-based approach in dealing with homeless encampments
The City of Toronto is proposing a new approach to dealing with homeless encampments in parks, saying it will emphasize human-rights-based supports and use forced clearings only as a last resort.
Last year, a report from Toronto’s ombudsman criticized the city for “significant unfairness” in its 2021 direction to clear encampments in downtown parks. This week’s proposal represents the city’s response in the form of a set of guidelines that would make clear that encampments will only be cleared as a last resort, and only when certain conditions are met.
It’s a Big Business.

Germany warned Wednesday it will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country following allegations of war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC), a spokesperson has confirmed.
I bet Trudeau would as well.
Can the RCMP turn North America’s largest law enforcement vehicle fleet green? They’re about to find out.
As Canada’s national police service, the RCMP falls under Ottawa’s Greening Government Strategy — a commitment to lower the environmental footprint of the federal government and get it to net‑zero emissions by 2050.
The strategy calls on the RCMP to replace as many of their approximately 12,000 cars and trucks with zero-emission vehicles as operationally possible by 2035.
Another huge waste of tax dollars coming up …

The number of Americans who smoke cannabis on a daily or near-daily basis now exceeds those who drink alcohol as often, a study has found.
The research, published in the journal Addiction, is based on data collected by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health over four decades.
In 2022, the survey recorded an estimated 17.7 million daily cannabis users, higher for the first time than the estimate of 14.7 million daily drinkers.
Canada 7th in foreign aid spending, but a fifth goes to refugees inside the country
This spring’s budget didn’t include a consolidated figure for how much Ottawa plans to spend on aid. Development Minister Ahmed Hussen and his department did not provide a specific number in the immediate wake of the budget either.
OTTAWA – While Canada is one of the top contributors to foreign aid among some of the world’s richest countries, a fifth of the spending never leaves Canada’s borders.
Some 19 per cent of Canada’s aid reported to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development last year benefited refugees and Ukrainians within Canada.
“Most Canadians would not think that counts, because when we think of foreign aid we think of something happening in other countries, not costs that we have here,” said Elise Legault, Canada director with the One Campaign, an anti-poverty advocacy group.
Canada ranks seventh for dollars spent on foreign aid, according to the OECD, a group of mostly rich countries.
Another right-leaning county in eastern Oregon has voted to secede from the Democrat-run state and join neighboring Idaho, according to reports.
Crook County residents passed the measure by a 53% majority Tuesday, making it the 13th county in the state to sign onto the movement known as “Greater Idaho,” NewsNation reported.
“The voters of eastern Oregon have spoken loudly and clearly about their desire to see border talks move forward,” said the Greater Idaho movement’s executive director Matt McCaw.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are in desperation mode. They’re down by double digits in opinion polls to Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives — and, in some recent surveys, by 20 points or more.
Many Canadians are clearly fed up with the prime minister’s mediocre and ineffective leadership. Every tactic this unpopular government has taken to stop the political bleeding has failed miserably, and the latest one could very well be the most desperate measure of them all.
This is hilarious –
– Liberals demand Pierre put it in writing CPC will not change abortion rules
– media asks Liberals why they haven't made these laws
– Liberals says its an affront to legislate a woman's body https://t.co/Wj35xmH1i6— Nya Pfannerstill (@NyaPfanner) May 22, 2024
