You will pay reparations, one way or another. It doesn’t matter that no one voted for it, or that politicians are unable to win the political argument in favour of perpetual historical guilt. When it comes to the era of activist politics, these battles for cash are fought and won in the shadows of ESG where corporate entities shake hands with the government.
Australia’s vocal but tiny ‘Blak activist’ collective is attempting to sneak new race taxes into the Constitution (Pay the Rent) stuffed into the stomach of the Voice’s Trojan horse – but Canada is a lot further down the path of this madness. Fortunes in reparations have been handed out under many different headings with the largest totalling over $43 billion without, many claim, sufficient consultation with Canadian taxpayers.

The case should be dismissed for failure to state an offense.
Under the brave new theory of criminal liability set forth in the election conspiracy indictment of former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Al Gore and the members, advisers, and lawyers of his 2000 presidential campaign belong in prison. The same goes for actor Martin Sheen and other Hollywood celebrities for their actions in the wake of the 2016 election.

Though shootings and murders in the city are down, the amount of unreported or unrecorded crime—like rampant package theft—remains immense.
Progressive politicians and their allies in the media have been running victory laps over New York City crime statistics. It’s true—and salutary—that shootings and murders have declined, though not to their pre-pandemic lows. Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD deserve credit for going after the gangs and crews known to commit the preponderance of the city’s gun crimes.
But we should take much of the rest of the city’s crime data with a pinch, if not a full shaker, of salt. Most New Yorkers would agree that street crime, arbitrary mayhem, and general hostility are all trending the wrong way. Compstat data may say that shoplifting is down—but if that’s true, why are so many stores locking away anything that can’t be nailed to the floor? And how many victims of muggings or “minor” assaults have simply decided that it’s not worth the bother of filing a police report, when the perpetrator, if he is even caught, will likely walk away with few consequences?

Just in case it wasn’t clear what Hunter Biden was doing when he put his dad, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on the speakerphone during business meetings, even Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer calls it an “abuse of soft power.”
According to designated Democratic apologist Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), Joe Biden had no idea who was on the speakerphone in Paris or Dubai or Lake Como, or wherever it was that Hunter introduced his father to shady foreigners who were showering him with millions of dollars and lavish gifts like a $50,000 Hublot watch, which Archer says Hunter got from the Ukrainians.

Prestige BioTech, a Nevada company fronting for parties in China, was caught operating an “unlicensed laboratory” in Reedley, California in March. State and Fresno County officers raided the facility, and the FBI and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have since been participating in the investigation.
The illegal operation housed white lab mice—773 live and more than 175 dead—that were genetically engineered to carry disease. Authorities also found medical waste and chemical, viral, and biological agents. There were on site at least 20 potentially infectious pathogens including those causing coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes.
The lab is “mysterious,” as the California Globe news site proclaimed. We know enough, however, to be alarmed.

Former president Donald Trump on Thursday pleaded not guilty to four federal charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump traveled from Bedminster, N.J., to Washington, D.C., on Thursday for his third arrest in four months.

Economic decoupling from China gathered steam during the pandemic when the vulnerability of supply chains came to the fore. But Canada’s economic linkages with China haven’t diminished, despite its closest ally the United States actively doing so.
Whether it’s called decoupling or friendshoring or nearshoring, international trade expert Eric Miller says it’s primarily about reducing risk—de-risking—in trade with China and then adjusting to the impacts.

An Albertan court ruled on Tuesday that lockdown orders enacted in response to Covid were invalid.
The ruling in Ingram v. Alberta will likely force prosecutors to withdraw charges against individuals, churches, and other organizations in several other standing cases.
Justice Barbara Romaine ruled in favor of the applicants because the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) delegated her decisions to the cabinet, which she was not authorized to do under Canadian law. The CMOH herself testified at trial that she provided only advice and recommendations to politicians but did not make the decisions herself.

The Guardia Civil and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have dismantled a terrorist network supporting DAESH, which culminated, with the arrest of a 34-year-old suspect in Toronto for their involvement in several terrorist offences, on Tuesday, August 1.
The joint operation originated from a Guardia Civil investigation in 2020 when an individual was arrested in San Vicente del Raspeig, Alicante, for his involvement in terrorism offences. This individual was sentenced to six years in prison for the crimes of self-training and financing of terrorism.

Mayor Eric Adams is finally throwing in the towel.
He admits that the current (non) policy on illegal immigration is a disaster. He doesn’t go far enough, but his capitulation on the issue reveals a more profound truth: “sanctuary” policies were always a fraud.
I live in Toronto which coincedentally is also a sanctuary city facing its own imposed “homeless migrant crisis” and I have no empathy at all for the self-destructive fools who voted for Chow.

Ottawa says law enforcement is “engaged” after a video circulating online appeared to threaten Indian diplomats in Canada.
Public Safety Canada said in a Tuesday tweet that Ottawa will ensure the safety of all diplomats in Canada, but the department would not provide details.
It referred queries to the RCMP, which refused to confirm whether it had opened a criminal probe or say which particular video was involved.

Global supply chains for solar panels have begun shifting away from a heavy reliance on China, in part because of a recent ban on products from Xinjiang, a region where the U.S. government and United Nations accuse the Chinese government of committing human rights violations.
But a new report by experts in human rights and the solar industry found that the vast majority of solar panels made globally continue to have significant exposure to China and Xinjiang.

Trudeau focused to stay on as Canada’s PM amid separation, shuffle: analysts
Justin Trudeau’s surprise announcement that he and his wife were separating, just a week after a broad cabinet reshuffle, underscores the Canadian prime minister’s focus and intent to lead the Liberal Party into a fourth election victory, despite sagging opinion polls, pollsters and insiders said.
On Wednesday, Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau unexpectedly announced their separation, likely marking the end of their 18-year-long high profile marriage. The separation is one of Trudeau’s biggest personal crises, although insiders and political commentators said he wants to ride out the aftershocks.

Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Devon Archer told Congress that Joe Biden’s ‘brand’ protected Burisma from ‘pressure’ and the then-vice president’s intimidating influence directly led to his son receiving huge sums of foreign money – and a $142,300 Porche.
According to the full transcript of his testimony obtained by DailyMail.com on Thursday, Archer said that then-Vice President Joe Biden’s ‘brand’ protected Ukranian oil company Burisma because ‘people would be intimidated to mess with them.’
He confirmed that Hunter put Joe on speakerphone 20 times over a 10 year period, which was a ‘signal’ of ‘value,’ and Hunter used his dad as a ‘defensive leverage.’
