Another Canadian trans issue has garnered international attention after B.C. transgender woman Brigid Klyne-Simpson told local media of being “extremely devastated” after being denied access to a women-only gym.
… The B.C. provincial government has already come down on the side of Klyne-Simpson. “Trans people deserve to feel safe, welcome & affirmed for who they are. Trans women are women — period,” Kelli Paddon, B.C.’s Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity, wrote in a Friday statement posted to social media.
German news magazine Der Spiegel and others published stories on Tuesday evening saying that the government in Berlin had decided to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
This follows a long-running debate on the issue among NATO allies, and comes after Poland formally asked Berlin for permission to send some of its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine earlier on Tuesday.
Spiegel magazine reported that the decision would involve sending at least one company of Leopard 2A6 tanks. The 2A6 version is the second-newest available and the most recent available in larger numbers.
Spiegel attributed its information to government sources but did not identify them. Broadcaster ntv issued a similar report, and the dpa news agency later said its “coalition sources” had said the same. But the government did not immediately comment publicly on the reports.
A French YouTuber who told her followers she was travelling to Belgium for assisted suicide to end the suffering of ADHD and multiple personality disorder has been rebuffed by doctors.
Olympe, as she is known to her 255,000 subscribers, said she was in talks with doctors across the border to end her life this year in a case that has shocked France.
But on Monday a Belgian doctor ruled out helping the 23-year-old, who runs a hit channel on mental health issues including split personality disorders.
It’s been hailed as a global precedent on the rights of citizens imprisoned overseas in “dire” conditions without trial.
But debate has already begun over the legal and safety implications of a Federal Court decision that ordered the government to repatriate from northern Syria four men suspected of having been members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
They are not victims. They are murder loving scum who willingly joined a death cult.
Offload them onto the tarmac, have them commit suicide with a bullet to the back of the head then roll them into the ditch for local scavengers.
TORONTO — Police in Toronto say two transit workers have been injured following a report that close to a dozen youths attacked them on a bus Monday afternoon.
John Tory suggests spending more money is surely the answer …
Toronto Mayor John Tory said in a statement about the incident that acts of violence and disrespect against transit workers need to end, and that he’s very concerned about what he said was the “increasing number of criminal acts involving young people.”
“I encourage anyone with information to help police find those responsible for this attack so they can face consequences for their behaviour,” Tory said.
“I strongly believe this is something all governments have to work together to urgently address with social and mental health experts.”
Toronto is getting what it voted for – diversity in abundance
New book by the late pontiff makes extraordinary claims about the Catholic Church under his progressive successor
Gay “clubs” operate openly in Catholic seminaries, the institutions that prepare men for the priesthood, the late Pope Benedict XVI has claimed in a posthumously published book scathing of Pope Francis’s progressive agenda.
In a blistering attack on the state of the Catholic Church under his successor’s papacy, Benedict, who died on Dec 31 at the age of 95, said that the vocational training of the next generation of priests is on the verge of “collapse”.
He claimed that some bishops allow trainee priests to watch pornographic films as an outlet for their sexual urges.
Four senior Ukrainian officials resigned or were fired within a few hours today after President Zelensky vowed to purge his government of corruption.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office, Vyacheslav Shapovalov, a deputy defence minister, and Ivan Lukerya, a deputy infrastructure minister, all announced their resignations. Oleksiy Symonenko, the deputy prosecutor general, was dismissed.
Shapovalov stepped down after Ukraine’s za.ua media outlet alleged that defence officials had been purchasing food for the army at vastly inflated prices. Oleksiy Reznikov, the defence minister, denied any wrongdoing and called for a parliamentary inquiry.
And… Zelenskyy bans Ukrainian officials from traveling abroad
Ukrainian officials will no longer be allowed to leave the country unless on official business, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced late Monday, just as Moscow said it was implementing new border measures.
“Officials will no longer be able to travel abroad for vacation or for any other non-governmental purpose,” Zelenskyy said.
Next I will meet with Mr. Hitler to discuss Alsace-Lorraine as soon as I unlock my fingers!
OTTAWA – Cameroon’s state-affiliated newspaper says the country’s government never authorized Canada to lead peace talks aimed at ending an escalating conflict in the west-central African country.
Ottawa announced last Friday that it has been hosting talks with the government of Cameroon and various factions to come up with a peace process for a political resolution to the crisis.
Yet the country’s state-affiliated newspaper, the Cameroon Tribune, said the government had mandated “no external mediator” for negotiations to end the conflict.
Good thing they caught her, she’s already had 3 meetings!
The Ukraine tank debacle is just the latest example of Berlin’s moral bankruptcy
ODESA, Ukraine — Germany has outraged its allies by refusing to send tanks to Ukraine and blocking other countries from sending their own German-made tanks as well. The incident is actually unsurprising. Over the past year, Berlin’s global image has been pulverized as the corruption and moral bankruptcy of the German elite have been repeatedly exposed.
This is a good article outlining the perfidy of the German Ruling class.
Germany has basically been the GDR in nicer clothes, up to it’s eyeballs in Russian gas at the expense of it’s neighbors.
To my view Germany’s antics virtually confirm that “Our Side” destroyed the NordStream pipelines to keep “our NATO ally” in line.
It also implies that the alleged post Nazi era anti-war culture is a conveniently elastic principle when it comes to arm sales.
Meanwhile Olaf the Tank Nazi is getting his way…
Poland requests German approval to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine
Poland has sent an official request to Germany asking for permission to send tanks to Ukraine, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak said Tuesday.
The German economy ministry has received the request “for consent to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine,” Błaszczak wrote on Twitter.
A spokeswoman for the German economy ministry confirmed, saying: “The necessary coordination and procedures in the German government have been initiated; these are ongoing and are being conducted with due urgency.”
The trial of a former top Mexican law enforcement official got under way in a Brooklyn court on Monday, one of the most significant drug trafficking cases since the prosecution of drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán more than four years ago.
Genaro García Luna, who ran Mexico’s version of the FBI before being appointed to lead the country’s security ministry – and therefore its war on drug trafficking groups – is accused of taking millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for granting protection to the violent Sinaloa cartel.
Crown corporation faces staff backlash over McKinsey contract, spending decisions
Multimillion-dollar contracts awarded by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to consulting firm McKinsey, coupled with some unusual spending choices — including a decision to fly a private chauffeur to B.C. to drive the Crown corporation’s president around — are raising eyebrows within the BDC, sources say.
Current and former BDC employees say they’re alarmed at some of the expenses incurred by the BDC under the leadership of president Isabelle Hudon.
Hudon, Canada’s former ambassador to France, was appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in 2021 to head the Crown corporation. The BDC provides loans, venture capital and advisory services to small and medium-sized businesses across Canada.
They present themselves as rebels against the system, fighting to preserve a piece of local woodland.
Yet many of the terrorist suspects arrested and charged over occupying government property and the violent attack in downtown Atlanta on Saturday are children of pampered privilege from out of state.
Hundreds of far-left activists, including Antifa, had gathered on Saturday evening at the Five Points neighborhood in downtown Atlanta to protest the death of their comrade who died in a shootout with police earlier in the week at an occupation south of the city.
The “cyber incident” that was responsible for knocking the National Research Council (NRC) offline last year was of foreign origin, according to a news report.
The federal agency said in a recent statement that the audit report on the incident won’t be published due to security concerns.
