Jordan Peterson on his fight with college of psychologists: ‘This country is in rough shape’

The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed a court challenge by Jordan Peterson that sought to prevent the College of Psychologists of Ontario from forcing him to do remedial social media training, at risk of losing his licence to practise psychology.

The Canadian psychologist, who’s become an internationally renowned self-help author and right-wing intellectual, was subject to numerous complaints about his online conduct, which led to a college investigation in 2022. According to court documents filed by Peterson’s legal team, it concluded that his “public statements may reasonably be regarded by members of the profession as disgraceful, dishonourable and/or unprofessional.”

Jewish community in ‘state of fear’ as Palestinian flags fly outside schools

Families in Tower Hamlets say ‘oppressive and intimidating’ symbols make them feel unwelcome in London borough for the first time

Walking through the borough of Tower Hamlets in east London it is clear to see on which side most residents’ sympathies lie in the Israel conflict.

On high streets, in parks, outside shops, and at school gates, the red, green, black and white Palestinian flag is everywhere to be seen – flying high from lamp posts as a symbol of solidarity for those fighting and dying 2,200 miles away in Gaza.

Securing the future of the Liberal Party requires Trudeau’s resignation

The word “democracy” often conjures up a basic understanding of a system in which the decisions and actions of a society are guided by the collective will of the people.

The practical implementation of that, however, often falls short. A few examples that come to mind are hot-button topics like universal background checks on gun sales, multilateral climate change initiatives and abortion rights. Despite overwhelming support from the public, more often than not, governments fail to enact legislation to support these policies for a wide variety of reasons.

One Trudeau family vacation, three explanations, many doubts

Earlier this month we wrote that the bigger issue with Justin Trudeau’s controversial Christmas vacation in Jamaica was not the fact that the Prime Minister was able to lodge his family in a luxury resort for nine nights for free, but that the Conflict of Interest Act allows him and other public office holders to accept undisclosed gifts of unlimited value from friends and family members.

We stand by that. The Conflict of Interest Act and the Conflict of Interest Code for MPs need to be amended to require every Parliamentarian to disclose gifts from friends and immediate family worth more than a nominal value.

He is convinced he is above the law.

The new breed of squatters – who renovate and install solar panels

Vacant property occupations are on the rise, and it’s not just the jobless who are making the desperate move

Polo is no ordinary squatter. The builder, 32, enters empty properties and changes the locks, but then he pays the utility bills, renovates and even installs solar panels.

Once the preserve of society’s poorest, now even those holding down jobs are turning to squatting amid skyrocketing rents and high property prices.

The number of people turning to squatting and “unconventional accommodation” has risen by 25pc in the past decade, according to homelessness charity Crisis.

The Buzz on ‘The Great Honey Bee Die-Off’

This classic case of false alarmism ties back to a single tech company.

The loss of bees puts the entire global food supply at risk, and because of this, the race is on to save them,” states a December tech newsletter. “Save the Bees reports that bee populations have decreased by more than 50% in the past 75 years, while human populations have increased by over 130%.”

‘Huge spike’ in population adding to pressures on Ontario ERs

“Huge spikes” in population are adding to the “sustained pressure” felt by the province’s emergency rooms, the Ontario Hospital Association is warning.

In a statement Wednesday, the group said Ontario’s rapidly rising population is linked to growing wait times and high levels of hospital occupancy amid the circulation of rampant respiratory illnesses.

As of January 13, there were 1,274 COVID-19 patients, 445 flu patients and 158 RSV patients receiving care at Ontario hospitals, according to the OHA.

Pakistan: Young Christian Unjustly Sentenced to Death

Shahzad Masih, a Pakistani Christian, was 16 years old and working in a hospital as a janitor in 2017, when Muslims falsely accused him of blasphemy. Since then, has spent more than five years in prison, and has been sentenced to death by hanging for statements he did not even make.

In 2017, authorities arrested Masih after a Muslim coworker and another man linked with the Islamic terrorist group, Tehreek-e-Taliban Islami Pakistan (TTIP), accused him of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. In 2022, a court sentenced Masih to death.

For nearly a decade after 911 Pakistan was the largest source country for Muslim immigrants to Canada.

Andrew, Harry and Beatrice will not serve as counsellors of state

Buckingham Palace has quietly made provision to prevent both the Duke of York and Duke of Sussex from acting as substitutes for the King.

Prince Andrew stepped down from royal duties in November 2019, while Prince Harry quit his royal role in 2020 to move to the United States.

Both remain counsellors of state — members of the royal family who can officially carry out duties if the sovereign is unwell or abroad. However, the King discreetly made provision to sideline them in an act instigated shortly after he ascended the throne.

This is rumoured to being a prelude to ostracism if required for Andy and Harry.

Is your cat non-binary? The madness of inclusivity drive at pet modelling agency

Company that supplies animals for television work asks question that leaves owners scratching their heads

An agency that supplies animals to the media has asked owners whether their pets are gender neutral or non-binary in a drive to be more “inclusive”.

Urban Paws, which describes itself as the leading animal talent agency in the UK, included four gender options on the application form owners are required to complete to register their pets: male, female, gender neutral/non-binary and prefer not to say.

Is Trudeau’s latest vacation scandal a sign he has already checked out?

Colourful Quebec Conservative MP Jacques Gourde came up with a delicious pun to describe the varying explanations given by the Prime Minister’s Office about Justin Trudeau’s Christmas vacation at a friend’s luxury Jamaican villa.

During a Wednesday House of Commons ethics committee hearing looking into Mr. Trudeau’s 10-day stay at the exclusive Prospect Estate resort, located on the site of an 18th-century sugar plantation, Mr. Gourde used a French expression whose English translation roughly means “Trying to pull the wool over our eyes.” Literally, however, the expression “Nous prendre pour des valises” translates as “taking us for suitcases.”

Vacation, suitcases. You get it, right?

We can hope. But I suspect he is too vain to give up despite being one of the most hated PM’s in our history.

UK: Outrage as Foreign Office sexual violence adviser backs claim that Israel lied about rapes

Foreign Office sexual violence adviser signed petition denying abuse of Jews

A Foreign Office adviser leading the fight against female genital mutilation (FGM) signed a petition dismissing reports of rape committed by Hamas on October 7 as “propaganda” to justify Israel’s “genocide” against Palestinians, the JC can reveal.

Dimpy Sanganee works in the Foreign Office’s Gender and Equalities department and has an “instrumental” role in tackling violence against women and girls. Earlier this month, she signed a petition that wrongly alleged that a major New York Times article revealing the full horror of sexual violence on October 7 cited “no evidence”.

I wonder how much of this sort of nonsense is kept hidden in Canada.
