Pentagon accused of blocking effort to hand Russia war crimes evidence to ICC

Defence department reportedly unwilling to share intelligence over fears precedent could be set against US soldiers

The Pentagon has been accused of blocking the sharing of US intelligence with the international criminal court (ICC) about Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

The Biden White House and state department have been a proponent of cooperation with the Hague-based ICC, as a means of holding Russian forces accountable for widespread war crimes, but the defence department is firmly opposed on the grounds that the precedent could eventually be turned against US soldiers.

Sabrina Maddeaux: From Chrétien to Trudeau, China has had its claws in the Liberal party

The most explosive and widely publicized allegations of Beijing-directed election interference focus on the two most recent federal elections in 2019 and 2021, and on the nomination of MP Han Dong in the safe Liberal riding of Don Valley North. This, however, only scratches the surface of the all-important question: what did the prime minister, Liberal MPs and senior party officials know and when did they know it?

The upsetting truth may very well extend much further back than 2019, perhaps even decades back to reveal a party systemically compromised by its wilful blindness — which also happens to be the title of investigative journalist Sam Cooper’s must-read book on how “Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents infiltrated the West.”

Rapid Pronoun Deployment Force Overstretched: Haitian Gangs Could Probably Kick Our Butts Says CIS-Gendered Male Nominally In Charge Of Transitioning Armed Forces

Canadian military likely lacks capacity to lead Haiti mission: Gen. Wayne Eyre

Canada’s top general said he was concerned that the country’s armed forces, which are already stretched thin by support for Ukraine and NATO, do not have the capacity to lead a possible security mission to Haiti.

Haiti’s government and top United Nations officials have called for an international force to support Haitian police in their struggle against gangs, which have become the de facto authorities in parts of the country.

The newly acquired vehicles of the Pride Parade Float Brigade have been plagued by mechanical breakdowns and morale is described as Bitchy.

CBC employees were paid $16M in bonuses in 2022 — an average of about $14,000 per worker

OTTAWA — Employees of Canada’s national broadcaster were paid more than $16 million in bonuses last year, according to new documents uncovered by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

The documents, obtained through an access to information request, show $16,052,148 in bonuses was handed out to 1,142 full-time CBC employees. That works out to around $14,000 per employee, on average.

This is an outrage. We pay for the hate against us spewed from Trudeau’s propaganda machine.

I am skeptical of Poilievre’s claim he will defund the CBC gravy train.

‘It is simply not true’: Grocery CEOs push back at price-gouging allegations

The heads of Canada’s biggest grocery chains pushed back at allegations they are profiteering from high inflation on Wednesday, telling lawmakers that they aren’t the cause of high food prices — and claiming their profit margins are as razor thin as ever.

“We are not profiting from inflation, it doesn’t matter how many times you say it … it is simply not true,” said Michael Medline, the CEO of Empire Foods, which owns Sobeys, FreshCo, Farm Boy, Foodland and other chains.

Terry Glavin: Beijing simply could not abide Erin O’Toole’s tough-on-China policies

As the evidence mounts and the days and the hours pass, it’s becoming impossibly difficult for the Liberal government to convincingly deny that during the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, Chinese diplomats were involved in a sophisticated interference operation run by regime proxies deeply embedded in the Liberal Party, and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knew about it, and said nothing.

The 64 Dollar question: How do we give Junior the Boot? Singh lacks all honour.

Diabolical liberty: after-school Satanists club threatens to sue district over ban

An after-school Satanists club in Pennsylvania is threatening to raise hell after local district leaders denied them the ability to convene on their school grounds.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), together with its Pennsylvania chapter, sent a letter to the Saucon Valley school district demanding that they allow the After School Satan Club, or ASSC, access to school facilities in accordance with the US constitution’s first amendment right to practice religion freely.

Inside the $300m celebrity fundraising network bringing Ukraine’s fight to Russia

Barbra Streisand is better known for crooning pop ballads than as the face of a fundraiser for explosive kamikaze drones. But when she agreed to help procure medical aid for President Zelensky’s initiative last September, she soon found herself part of a celebrity network resisting the Kremlin war machine.
The fundraising platform, United24, expects to have raised $300 million to help Ukraine by the end of next month and is only $7 million shy of its goal. It counts Star Wars’ Mark Hamill, the Chelsea football legend Andriy Shevchenko, Netflix Vikings’ star Katheryn Winnick, the heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk and the Balenciaga creative director Demna among its wide range of ambassadors.

Trudeau has degraded the value of Canadian citizenship

The 2015 federal election, which saw the Stephen Harper-led Conservatives fall to defeat after nearly a decade in power, is still known in some circles as “the niqab election.” It was, after all, the Harper government’s protracted legal battle to prevent Muslim women from wearing niqabs at citizenship ceremonies that effectively framed the race.

Mind Reading: AI turns people’s thoughts into images with 80% accuracy

It works! I imagined Justin Trudeau burning In Hell.

Artificial intelligence can create images based on text prompts, but scientists unveiled a gallery of pictures the technology produces by reading brain activity.

The new AI-powered algorithm reconstructed around 1,000 images, including a teddy bear and an airplane, from these brain scans with 80 percent accuracy.

Researchers from Osaka University used the popular Stable Diffusion model, included in OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, which can create any imagery based on text inputs.

Canada should increase productivity, not supercharge immigration

When future historians look back on the decade of the 2020s, they’ll likely be struck by two global demographic trends: 1) Aging populations across most of the world and 2) Populations that are now in outright decline in a large group of countries. The two trends are related. In North America, Europe and parts of Asia, an increasing share of the population is moving into retirement, meaning death rates will climb as more people enter their twilight years. Coupled with generally low birth rates, rapid aging is setting the stage for dwindling populations in many jurisdictions.
