Scorched Churches and Cancelled Statues: Canada’s Story of Destruction Since 2021

The giant Buddhas of Bamiyan were built in the fifth century. Those revered statues were blown up in 2001. Afghanistan’s Ministry of Virtue and Vice was instructed to destroy the Buddha statues “by any means available” and so they used dynamite. That destruction order spread out to hundreds of relics across the country. More than 2,700 artworks were destroyed at the National Museum.

Afghanistan’s religious leaders stated that the Buddhist objects had to be “smashed“ because they were ”contrary to Islam.“ One official explained that right-thinking Afghan people ”do not need these statues.”

Diversity is our strength ….

I can tell you, from internal police comms, that one of the reason front line officers (many of whom are worried about the Jew hate at the leadership “equity” level of Toronto Police, is the belief that these criminals are so violent that if cops do anything, violence will erupt. https://t.co/0VwMpFA0aE

A sudden surge of Ukrainian evacuees. Is Canada ready?

Scroll back to the first week of March. In a single week, a record-setting 10,000 Ukrainians board airplanes heading to Canada to escape a brutal war that has no end in sight. And this surge of evacuees is expected to continue until the end of the month. After that; who knows.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, more than two years ago, 250,000 Ukrainians relocated to Canada under our country’s emergency visa program and an additional 700,000 Ukrainians hold similar visas due to expire on March 31.

Kamala Harris Says ‘Consequences‘ Possible if Israel Raids Rafah; ‘I Have Studied the Maps‘

Vice President Kamala Harris said on Sunday that the administration had not ruled out “consequences” for Israel if it defied President Joe Biden and attacked Hamas in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Biden has warned Israel publicly not to attack Hamas in Rafah, due to the presence of large numbers of civilians there, which the terrorist group uses as human shields. Israel says that it cannot win the war without defeating the last four Hamas battalions in Rafah.

Physicians sound alarm over unfilled Ontario residency spots

Physicians in Ontario are sounding the alarm as new data shows more than 100 reserved for training new family doctors have gone unfilled.

Each year, medical school graduates decide what type of medicine they want to specialize in. The Canadian Residency Matching Service (CaRMS) matches graduates with residency placements at medical schools in two rounds.

There were 108 unfilled family medicine spots out of a total of 560 in Ontario following the first round of this year’s match, up from 103 unclaimed spots last year, according to CaRMS data.

Everything is broken.

Inside the Fentanyl trade powering the world’s deadliest drug crisis

It was a distinctive smell, similar to vinegar, seeping from the new-built home at the top of the hill that prompted a resident in Tijuana’s Lomas del Valle neighbourhood to make an anonymous call to the police in October last year.

A few nights later three patrol cars were seen heading up the potholed road to the elevated dusty area, a 50-minute drive and a world away from the souvenir stores and tequila bars of Mexico’s main northern border city. Their target was a squat, grey building that seemed in a permanently stalled state of construction.

Military culture reform is key to fix recruitment ‘death spiral’: minister

Canada’s defence minister says steps taken last week to modernize the military justice system is part of an overhaul of military culture that is crucial to reversing the “death spiral” of shrinking recruitment.

“I very strongly believe cultural change is a process, not an event,” Bill Blair said in an interview on The West Block with Mercedes Stephenson. “And it really requires that we’re going to institutionalize that change.“

Anti-Ulez protesters hang ‘protected’ bat boxes on camera poles

Bat boxes have been attached to Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) camera poles in what appears to be an attempt to frustrate efforts to enforce Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor’s clean air scheme.

The £10 animal boxes have been installed underneath number plate recognition cameras in Chessington and North Cheam, in south London.

Laminated signs underneath the boxes read: “Stop! This is a bat box. Bats have been observed to be using this bat box as a resting place.”

China, Russia and Iran are fuelling disinformation about the Princess of Wales to destabilise the nation, Whitehall sources believe.

Senior Government figures fear that hostile states are behind the spread of wild conspiracy theories and online rumours surrounding the Princess’s health.

After the Princess announced her cancer diagnosis on Friday evening, Rishi Sunak led the condemnation of social media trolls for targeting her online in recent weeks.

Want to Rent a Lemon? How About 100,000 of Them?

Hertz just fired its CEO for one single, awful business decision. He is taking the fall for Hertz’s decision — on his watch — to buy 100,000 electric vehicles from Tesla, all for the American fleet. To say the decision was a flop is putting it mildly.

Hertz has about 3,000 domestic locations, and a fleet of about 430,000 cars, SUVs, and minivans. Each location obviously ranges widely from high volume to low, so this estimate won’t be exact, but that works out to about 35 E.V.s per location.
