The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation paid out or approved for future payment roughly $23 million in grants to Chinese government organizations during its 2022 reporting period, tax documents show.
The nonprofit listed grants to over 20 different Chinese entities, including Chinese government agencies, labeled as “foreign government” on its 2022 tax forms. The majority of the grants were for projects related to public health research and analysis, including several projects involving diseases and vaccine delivery.

Olivia Chow's Skating Party. I'd say she got quite a frosty reception from the savages she's emboldened. What a useless mayor. https://t.co/mNR4Xx9cQ7

Olivia Chow has no business running the city of #Toronto. She is out of her depth and an incompetent leader. We are in perpetual chaos and letting lawlessness prevail. https://t.co/uEHTdYHqXc

UFOs invaded headlines worldwide in 2023.
The subject was suddenly everywhere after a high-altitude Chinese balloon and three unidentified objects(opens in a new tab) were shot down over North America in February. NASA and the Pentagon then released separate reports in September(opens in a new tab) and October(opens in a new tab) on what they call “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or “UAP” for short.

Prince Andrew will refuse any efforts to get him out of his royal mansion despite new claims over his links with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The Duke of York has reportedly vowed to fight any attempt made by King Charles to evict him from Royal Lodge, his ten-bedroom Windsor home since 2003, following the release of court documents detailing a slew of sexual assault allegations.
The King is said to want to remove his brother from his Berkshire residence and move him into the smaller Frogmore Cottage, which had belonged to Harry and Meghan before they left for the US.
I get the feeling Andrew will be “sent away” out of the Royal spotlight.

The education consultant in India didn’t reveal to Maninderjit Kaur, a Canada-bound student, where exactly, relative to Toronto, the college she had enrolled in was.
Ms. Kaur told my colleague, Norimitsu Onishi, that after a never-ending Uber ride — eight hours and 800 Canadian dollars later — she had ended up in Timmins, Ontario, a place she had never heard of.
But, as Nori reported, finishing a degree in this remote city was perhaps less of an isolating experience given that 82 percent of students at Northern College in Timmins are foreign nationals, mostly from India.
The Trudeau government has turned Canada’s immigration system into a giant scam.

Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are defying the combined urging of green lobbyists and government diktat with just a quarter making up new purchases for 2023, UK data reveals.
The consumer rejection of EVs is a challenge to the electric car market and government goals to move towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

In recent months, we have witnessed a critical mass of antisemitic Canadians willing to vandalize Jewish businesses, protest relentlessly for a Palestinian nation-state “from the river to the sea” and even threaten police officers with death.
It’s not entirely clear how much of the blame for this despicable behaviour can be placed on the fundamentally racist ideology of diversity, equity and inclusion that has been allowed to fester in universities for years, and how much is a result of the erosion of shared values among Canadians.
Give this a read, it nails what we have discussed on this blog for years. I am frankly surprised a mainstream media source printed it.

Twelve-year-old Andrés Camilo Romaña had spent most of his young life collecting rubbish in the poverty-stricken neighbourhoods of Quibdó in Colombia’s Pacific coastal region of Chocó.
He did not like school because he was frequently bullied. Instead, he preferred to endure the unrelenting humidity of the city, roaming its streets and sifting through bins for anything of value.
“He was a good boy. He worked hard,” his mother, Jacinta Romaña, told The Telegraph. “He was never tempted by the easy money of gangs and violence.”

Pressure mounts on Canada to support South Africa’s legal battle for ceasefire in Gaza
A new legal battle will be waged later this week in the World Court to impose a ceasefire more than three months after Hamas’ attack on southern Israel killed innocent civilians, triggering a brutal war in Gaza where Israel(opens in a new tab) vowed to eradicate Hamas militants.
South Africa is accusing Israel of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention and is seeking an urgent order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to immediately halt what it characterizes as “genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza.”
The goal is to have Israel labeled a genocidal state, the original CTV weasel headline to the article is in bold above.
When it was first reported on Saturday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been in the hospital since January 1, it was natural to assume that key figures in the Pentagon and the White House, for whatever reason, chose to keep his hospitalization a secret. What possible motive could there be for doing this? Who knows? It didn’t make a lot of sense, but the Biden administration has an extensive record of covering up scandals, so it wasn’t exactly out of character for the Biden administration to cover something up.

A decade ago, young offenders were mostly motivated by poverty, say some youth workers. Now, you have kids as young as 13 getting high on crystal meth, making them paranoid and violent; violent subcultures are reaching into middle-class homes like never before; and young men are increasingly lacking positive masculine role models and struggle with self-esteem, causing them to seek brotherhood in gangs.

The owner of the California bakery ransacked last week by a mob of more than 100 looters is heartbroken for his family’s business and angered that nobody has been punished as he slammed rising crime in the state.
Ruben’s Bakery & Mexican Food in Compton was the target of a mass smash-and-grab when looters used a Kia to drive into the storefront during an illegal street takeover on Jan. 2.

It goes without saying that the word “genocide” has a special sound to the people of Israel. Yet today the nation that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust finds itself accused of this ultimate crime against humanity.
Protesters marching against the Israeli military assault in Gaza set fire to Star of David flags and chant “we charge you with genocide.” Activists in Toronto plastered an Indigo store with posters accusing its Jewish owner with “funding genocide.” Now the government of South Africa is going to the International Court of Justice with a claim that Israel is guilty of “genocidal” acts.
