The co-chair of a King County Regional Homelessness Authority committee defended a registered sex offender’s appointment to a committee. But the committee includes one of his alleged victims.
When the victim spoke up, she was loudly shouted down. And now the KCRHA is looking to remove the co-chair from her position.
FREDERICTON — Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is seen as more competent and having better judgment than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a new poll suggests, but the PM is perceived to be kinder and less extreme than his rival.
The Abacus Data poll, conducted from May 9-12, asked 2,500 respondents from across the country a series of questions about the two leaders, including who represents Canadian values well, who genuinely cares about making Canada better and whether Trudeau and Poilievre hide their true views to make them more acceptable.
A Catholic school board trustee in Waterloo, Ont., has resigned after weeks of controversy over her tweets, one of which said “the most dangerous creature on the planet is the white Christian male.”
Parents with children in the Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) told The Epoch Times that the actions of Trustee Wendy Ashby, and how the board leadership handled the matter, highlights problems in the system that won’t necessarily be fixed by her resignation.
Ontario’s Halton District School Board made international headlines in September 2022 after a series of viral videos showed a transgender shop teacher, Kayla Lemieux, wearing massive prosthetic breasts while operating a table saw.
Remarkably, Lemieux’s prosthesis didn’t break any school policies because the district simply lacked a professional dress code to begin with.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was warned last month that auto giant Stellantis might scrap a $5-billion electric-vehicle battery factory in Windsor if Ottawa refused to match U.S.-style subsidies given to Volkswagen in St. Thomas, Ont., the Star has learned.
In a letter dated April 19, the heads of Stellantis and Korea-based LG Energy Solution — the two companies in a joint venture — told Trudeau the project was in jeopardy if he did not honour what the company says was a promise in writing to close the “competitive gap posed by the U.S. legislation.”
Stellantis upped the ante Monday in a high-stakes negotiation that has been going on for months behind closed doors and halted construction on the facility that’s supposed to open next year and employ 2,500 workers.

Three FBI officials will testify on alleged ‘abuses of power’ by FBI leadership – ranging from discrimination against conservatives to inflation of domestic terrorism statistics – during a public whistleblower hearing by the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government Thursday, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.
Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee and head of the select committee, has secured the in-person testimony of suspended FBI special agents Garret O’Boyle and Steve Friend, as well as former FBI State Operations Specialist Marcus Allen. President of Empower Oversight Tristian Leavitt will also be testifying.
Taiwan’s foreign minister says he is preparing for conflict with China. In an interview last month, Joseph Wu said that “we are taking the Chinese military threat very seriously” and named 2027 as the year to be concerned about.
As relations between China and the US spiral ever lower, many analysts are increasingly worried that a conflict could be on the horizon and that the relationship between Taiwan and the US will be an important factor in influencing if and when China attempts to annex the self-governing island.
New York City seems like a gag that’s gone too far. “First, we’ll release all the criminals because too many black bodies are in prison! Then we’ll denounce the police as Nazis and refuse to prosecute any suspects they arrest. The city will be overrun with violent criminals — raping robbing, assaulting and killing at will… But if anyone steps up to protect the citizenry from the mayhem that’s been intentionally inflicted on them, well, gentleman, then we’ll prosecute the hell out of that douchebag.”
… The Democrat Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), which is what we call Democrats here in Minnesota, fully embraced the Somali takeover of the Minneapolis party. Obviously, the partnership has its perks–when a group can steal hundreds of millions of dollars from the government without consequence, that is a bunch of free cash that can slosh into politics. Even just skimming a bit off the top works pretty well for the powers that be. Sure, much of the money goes straight into the pocket of the fraudsters, and some goes back to Somalia to fund terrorism, but the DFL does pretty well out of the deal.
Meanwhile in Minneapolis.

On April 17-18, Israel observed Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day. Sirens sounded across the country while people stood for two minutes of silence in remembrance of six million Jews who had been murdered. Wreaths were laid at the Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Center. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech calling on Israelis for unity.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A special prosecutor found that the FBI rushed into its investigation of ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and relied too much on raw and unconfirmed intelligence as he concluded a four-year probe that fell far short of the former president’s prediction that the “crime of the century” would be uncovered.
The report Monday from special counsel John Durham represents the long-awaited culmination of an investigation that Trump and allies had claimed would expose massive wrongdoing by law enforcement and intelligence officials. Instead, Durham’s investigation delivered underwhelming results, with prosecutors securing a guilty plea from a little-known FBI employee but losing the only two criminal cases they took to trial.
They shit on the nation and still won. Smeared and damaged Trump but the Deep State still won. The FBI will never live this down.
Twitter owner Elon Musk’s newly appointed World Economic Forum-tied CEO for the platform recently tried to corner him into committing to reinstalling some of the same Orwellian censorship structures of the old regime. Gee, what a shocker (sarcasm).
Twitter went from great to very shitty to less shitty and now it looks to be headed back to very shitty.
Netflix’s “docudrama” Queen Cleopatra launched two weeks ago and now looks to have earned the unenviable plaudit of drawing the worst audience score in TV history.
She needed to be a gay dwarf to make it work.
Or maybe audiences just don’t like being force fed woke lectures.
The leader of the Wagner mercenary group offered to reveal the location of Russian troops to Ukraine in exchange for a withdrawal of Kyiv’s forces from the besieged city of Bakhmut, according to a purportedly leaked top-secret document.
Yevgeny Prigozhin approached Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate on a number of occasions with the proposal as it appeared his forces would fail to capture the Donetsk region town, the Washington Post reported.
