More Artists Self-Censor to Avoid Woke Mob

Chloe Grace Moretz agreed to star in Louis CK’s 2017 dramedy I Love You, Daddy, a plum gig for the rising star.

Once the comedian’s past reared its ugly head, the actress had a change of heart.

“I think it should just kind of go away, honestly. I don’t think it’s time for them to have a voice right now … of course, it’s devastating to put time into a project and have it disappear … but at the same time, this movement is so powerful and so progressive that I’m just happy to be in communication with everyone and to see the big change in the face of the industry, which I think is very, very real.”

Germany: Huge “Clan criminality” brawl injures several people, including police

Several people were injured, including two police officers, when a mass brawl broke out on Friday evening in the city of Essen, in western Germany.

Police said more than 100 people were involved in the fight, which broke out in front of a restaurant.

Police said they did not have an exact number of injured people.

Tweet translation : “300 Lebanese against 200 Syrians: street battles in Essen, migrant war in the Ruhr area!

The Ruhr area has long been a powder keg and now it is exploding: After two family clans from Syria and Lebanon fought each other with machetes and knives in Castrop-Rauxel on Thursday, things continued on Friday evening. At the Salzmarkt, in the middle of downtown Essen, 300 supporters of the Lebanese clan and 200 Syrian clan members faced each other, there was heavy fighting and street battles that lasted for hours. The police wanted / were allowed to watch, but the situation only calmed down on Saturday night.

Imported conflicts from around the world are fought on our streets, which resemble battlefields. It finally needs a different migration policy and a return of criminal foreigners to their home clans. What else has to happen?!”

Possible snap election in N.B. swirling over Parents objection to groomer influence on school policy

Possible snap election in N.B. swirling over LGBTQ2 policy backlash

Premier Blaine Higgs says he welcomes the prospect of a leadership review following a week of dissent within the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party, partly over changes to Policy 713.

“I’m very confident in the results we’ve had for the province but if this issue has brought this to a head I’m equally confident I’m speaking for many parents that want a voice in their child’s … very formative years,” he said.

Policing of “Just Stop Oil” Protesters Costing Britons Millions

The Metropolitan Police has revealed that it has allocated the equivalent of almost 13,770 officer shifts in just six weeks to deal with “Just Stop Oil” (JSO) protesters. Primary among the group’s demands is that the government halts all new oil and gas licenses. Its members have been causing major disruptions every day since April 24th. From then until June 8th, London’s police force has spent more than £4.5 million on responding to their actions.

Asian Infrastructure Bank Has ‘Nothing to Hide’ as Canada Probes China’s Influence

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank said it welcomed a investigation by the Canadian government into allegations that the institution faces interference from the Chinese Communist Party.

The review is a “relatively modest and appropriate step,” AIIB Vice President and Corporate Secretary Ludger Schuknecht said Thursday in an interview. “We welcome this review by Canada, because it will mean transparency, and we have nothing to hide.”

And if AIIB now has “nothing to hide,” then will there also be AIIB transparency about the Russian procurement meeting that this man has been quietly organizing with the staunch internal backing of Chinese Communist Party members inside the Bank? 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 @cafreeland https://t.co/FsLV8QIAWO

A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags

Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015 but a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property has soured relations

In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.

They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic-but-meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.

I’m enjoying this way too much.

Will Mayoral rivals join forces to defeat Chairman Chow in the Toronto election

As the race for Toronto mayor enters its final stages, candidates hoping to block Olivia Chow’s path to victory appear to have no firm plans to join forces to stop her.

With less than two weeks until voting day, the former NDP MP has a commanding lead, according to public opinion polls. That’s led to speculation some of the trailing mayoral hopefuls who oppose her progressive agenda could end their campaigns and urge supporters to rally behind an opponent who has a better chance of beating her.

Russian forces face shortage of tanks as counteroffensive creeps forward

Russia’s forces are suffering a shortage of tanks, the country’s defence minister has admitted, as Ukraine’s offensive in the south and east continued to push back the frontline with the help of western hardware.

Sergei Shoigu, on a visit to a military factory in western Siberia, said that production of armoured vehicles needed to be increased as Kyiv talked up the heavy losses being inflicted on the occupying enemy.

An increase in the manufacture of tanks was said by Shoigu to be necessary “to satisfy the needs of Russian forces carrying out the special military operation”, in comments that echoed those of Vladimir Putin earlier in the week.

Taxpayers better brace for Trudeau’s two carbon taxes

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a summer special for taxpayers: A second carbon tax.

On July 1, the Trudeau government’s second carbon tax will take effect. Trudeau buried the tax in fuel regulations that require producers to reduce the carbon content of their fuels. If companies can’t meet the requirements, they’ll be forced to buy credits. Those costs will be passed on to consumers through higher pump prices.

NATO vs. Canada, its nicest truant

Canada is a committed, agreeable ally. So why, NATO countries are wondering, is it not getting up to speed on spending targets?

BRUSSELS/OTTAWA — NATO loves Canada — but hates its defense spending.

The North American country has a reputation within the West’s military alliance as an agreeable partner: Reliably committed to transatlantic relations, never obstructionist, and, well, just pleasant to work with.

But with a war on, that’s not enough.

Bad news for electric planes — batteries only last “a few weeks”

Once again, batteries just aren’t living up to hopes and dreams. Only a year ago Rolls Royce were excited about the nine-seater P-Volt electric plane — forecasting that it would be carrying customers on ninety mile hops in 2025 and 250 miles by 2030. Alas, it must have been a sobering year. The developers of the P-Volt have pulled the pin indefinitely and decided to wait until battery capacity and weight improvements make it realistic.

Pierre Poilievre needs smart appeal to big cities to become prime minister, Erin O’Toole says

To become prime minister, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre needs to convince voters in Canada’s big cities that his approach to priority issues is in the national interest, Erin O’Toole says.

Mr. O’Toole, the former Conservative leader who failed to lead his party to power in the last federal election, said in an interview Friday that Mr. Poilievre is “one of the smartest MPs in the House,” and his tone, which has been called aggressive, is appropriate for the times.
