Report From The Peoples Republic Of Karen – Ottawa Committee

PEOPLE’S COMMISSION: Prejudices and bigotry inflicted by some convoy occupiers remain, McKenney says

While “Freedom Convoy” occupiers left Ottawa months ago, the prejudices and bigotry that some of them inflicted on Centretown residents remain, Somerset Ward’s former councillor told an Ottawa People’s Commission hearing Saturday.

“The amount of transphobia that’s been left behind and racism in this city can be felt every single day,” said Catherine McKenney, who uses the pronouns they and them.

It’s a shock this woman wasn’t elected Mayor of Karenopolis.

U.S. envoy pats Junior on head, hails Canada’s pivot on China, says Ottawa has ‘woken up’

The U.S. ambassador to Canada is hailing what he calls a pivot on China policy: Ottawa has woken up, he says, to a pressing geopolitical challenge.

David Cohen acknowledges there were worries in Washington about whether Canada was too chummy with China, noting it even came up last year in his Senate confirmation hearing.

But the U.S. envoy says those concerns are being put to rest by Ottawa’s latest moves: pushing Chinese state-owned companies out of Canadian mines, cancelling a contract for RCMP communications equipment and studying the creation of a foreign agents list.

Only a fool would trust Junior.

Parent Groups Concerned Over Ontario ‘Gender Affirming Health Care’ Bill

Four NDP MPPs have introduced a bill seeking to expand the availability of “gender-affirming health care” in Ontario. It would mandate the creation of an advisory committee including representatives of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) to advise the health minister on how to proceed.

The bill, Gender Affirming Health Care Advisory Committee Act, had its first reading on Nov. 16. Since then, two parent groups have responded with concern—one with a Dec. 5 letter to the legislature criticizing the bill and another with a petition against it.

‘Cuba Is Depopulating’: Largest Exodus Yet Threatens Country’s Future

The pandemic and tougher U.S. sanctions have decimated Cuba’s economy, prompting the biggest migration since Fidel Castro rose to power.

BARACOA, Cuba — Roger García Ordaz makes no secret of his many attempts to flee.

He has tried to leave Cuba 11 times on boats made of wood, Styrofoam and resin, and has a tattoo for each failed attempt, including three boat mishaps and eight times picked up at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard and sent home.

Hundreds of homemade, rickety boats have left this year from the shores of Baracoa, a fishing village west of Havana where Mr. García, 34, lives — so many that locals call the town “Terminal Three.”

Inside the Iranian regime’s protest panic

During a press conference in Tehran on 3 December, Iran’s Attorney General, Mohammad Javad Montazeri was asked by a journalist what had happened to the country’s morality police, which have been strangely absent from Iran’s streets. Clearly irritated by the question, Montazeri snapped that the morality police had nothing to do with the judiciary and they had been ‘abolished’ by the same body that had installed them. The word he used could also be translated as ‘suspended’ but the implication that the force had been in some way removed was seized upon by international journalists that something was beginning to give in the Islamic Republic. But as is often the case with the Islamic Republic, it is always worth pausing and reading the small print before rushing to judgement.
