Ontario reveals details of cellphone ban in schools. Here are the new rules for students

Ontario will ban cellphones in elementary schools for the entire day, and during class time for middle and high school students, under new rules to start this September that are being touted as the toughest in Canada.

The changes will also force school boards to remove all access to social media websites from their networks, and report cards will be updated to include comments on students’ distraction levels.

Unless teachers want to use devices for learning, “when it comes to cellphones, our policy is ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ ” Education Minister Stephen Lecce said in his announcement Sunday.

So how many cell phone confiscation assaults before this policy is quickly and quietly abandoned? Any bets?

Holocaust Memorial hidden as precaution while pro-Palestine protesters march

The Holocaust Memorial in Hyde Park had to be covered and guarded on Saturday as thousands of pro-Palestine protesters marched through central London.

The rock-shaped monument – the first public memorial to the atrocity in the UK – was obscured by a blue tarpaulin, with a police car stationed nearby.

Lord Mann, government adviser on anti-Semitism, described the precaution as “sad but necessary to avoid further offence to the Jewish community”.

Canadians have stopped listening so Trudeau turns to random podcasts to resuscitate hated Carbon Tax

What Trudeau’s podcast appearances say about the Liberals’ next ballot box question

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knows Canadians aren’t listening.

He knows his defence against Conservative attacks over his signature climate policy isn’t working, at least not yet.

But he plans to keep trying. And while he’s at it, his office is trying something new to get the Liberal government’s message out.

Trudeau recently appeared on four podcasts as he travels the country talking up the Liberals’ latest budget, which he’s pitching as a plan to inject more economic fairness into society for those under 40 – a cohort that has kept Trudeau in power since 2015 but is increasingly turning to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Trudeau latest run is starting to resemble Wynne’s end in Ontario. The people have tuned him out and even the bought press are less than enthusiastic.

His advisers are so bankrupt they attempted to use some graffiti and an Alex Jones soundbite against Poilievre forgetting that Trudeau was thanked by Hamas and kisses Islamist ass.

Hearts and Minds: All that blood and treasure wasted in IRAQ is now so worth it!

Passage of harsh anti-LGBTQ+ law in Iraq draws diplomatic backlash

BAGHDAD (AP) — Human rights groups and diplomats criticized a law that was quietly passed by the Iraqi parliament over the weekend that would impose heavy prison sentences on gay and transgender people.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement that the law passed Saturday “threatens those most at risk in Iraqi society” and “can be used to hamper free-speech and expression.” He warned that the legislation could drive away foreign investment.

“International business coalitions have already indicated that such discrimination in Iraq will harm business and economic growth in the country,” the statement said.

When will they learn? Islam gonna Islam.

Premier Moe responds to Trudeau’s threat to weaponize the CRA against Saskatchewan

Premier Moe responds to Trudeau’s ‘good luck with that’ comment

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on Wednesday that the Canada Revenue Agency is “very, very good” at getting the money it’s owed.

On Saturday, Premier Moe responded to the prime minister’s comments on the Roy Green Show, saying to Trudeau, “The CRA, I don’t think they are able to come after the province of Saskatchewan.”

In my view it was a genuine threat given Trudeau’s record of compromising Canadian institutions and laws to attack his perceived enemies, (which at this point is pretty much all of us), or shield his corrupt practices.

Chants of ‘shame on you’ greet guests at White House correspondents’ dinner shadowed by war in Gaza

The war in Gaza spurred large protests outside a glitzy roast with President Joe Biden, journalists, politicians and celebrities Saturday but went all but unmentioned by participants inside, with Biden instead using the annual White House correspondents’ dinner to make both jokes and grim warnings about Republican rival Donald Trump’s fight to reclaim the U.S. presidency.

An evening normally devoted to presidents, journalists and comedians taking outrageous pokes at political scandals and each other often seemed this year to illustrate the difficulty of putting aside the coming presidential election and the troubles in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The elites and their lefty reporters along with the usual Hollywood suspects have a dinner celebrating a senile president they foisted on America. Got it.

Students set up ‘indefinite’ pro-Palestinian encampment at McGill University

Several tents have gone up on McGill’s downtown campus in what students are calling an act of solidarity with the Palestinian cause, joining a wave of similar protests taking place across U.S. campuses amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

On Saturday afternoon, organizers could be heard asking over loudspeakers that as many people as possible stay at the encampment overnight.

Protestors are demanding McGill and Concordia universities “divest from funds implicated in the Zionist state as well as [cut] ties with Zionist academic institutions,” according to a statement sent to CBC News by Zaynab Ali, a McGill student participating in the protest.

NYC to pay $2.1M in race discrimination settlement with three educators who were demoted for being White

The city will pay a total $2.1 million to three white Department of Education executives demoted under ex-Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza and replaced by less-qualified people of color, they charged.

Lois Herrera, Jaye Murray and Laura Feijoo – who will receive $700,000 each – reached a settlement three months after a judge ruled they “offer evidence of race-based discrimination in Carranza’s DOE,” paving the way for a June trial.

“This landmark case is a resounding affirmation that discrimination of any form should not be tolerated in educational institutions, regardless of the race of those negatively impacted,” their lawyer Davida Perry told The Post.

This type of case is beginning to blossom.

David Krayden: Plastics Registry Is a Nightmare for Industry and a Farce for Canadians

Lunatic

Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault has decided Canada needs a plastics registry.

But what he isn’t telling you is that while it may be possible to track the production of plastics, it is well-nigh impossible to detect where these materials are sent for disposal.

Anti-Israel protesters sue Columbia, claiming they’re the real victims

A pro-Palestinian group has filed a federal lawsuit against Columbia University — saying anti-Israel protesters with the extremist group Students for Justice in Palestine are the ones being harassed on campus.

The complaint comes as Jewish community leaders and Jewish students have spoken out to say they do not feel safe at the Ivy League school with hundreds of protesters camping out in tents on the lawn, prompting university administrators to allow students to take their classes online for the rest of the year.

Canadians deserve a transparent report into the COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19 was a massive, deadly public-health emergency that hospitalized hundreds of thousands of Canadians and killed more than 59,000. The pandemic, with its public-health measures, stole life experiences from our children, caused economic hardship, and it increased social isolation, substance use and mental-health disorders. It stretched health care workers and systems to the breaking point, and left an ever-widening chasm within society.

First ten armoured vehicles promised to Ukraine to be delivered by summer, Blair says

Defence Minister Bill Blair says the first ten of 50 Armoured Combat Support Vehicles (ACSVs) promised to Ukraine last year will be delivered to the war-torn country by this summer, but likely won’t be fully in service until the fall.

… The remarks from the defence minister come a week after a leading Ukrainian politician met with Blair and a number of Canadian lawmakers and pleaded for more armoured vehicles.

Oleksandra Ustinova, the head of Ukraine’s special parliamentary commission on arms and munitions, told the minister, members of key House of Commons committees and military leaders that both time and weapons stocks are running out for her country.
