Six Gulf states warn Netflix over content violating ‘Islamic values’

A group of Persian Gulf states have threatened Netflix with legal action if it continues broadcasting content that “contradicts” Islam, while Saudi state media indicated that the offending material centred on shows depicting sexual minorities.

A statement issued jointly by the Saudi media regulator and the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), headquartered in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, did not specifically identify material, referring only to content that “contradicts Islamic and societal values”.

The risk of political violence in Canada has never been higher

Some time in the not too distant future, when the first Canadian politician has been assassinated since Pierre Laporte, we will all look back and wonder what we could have done to prevent it.

The probable answer is: Not much, in the sense of that particular attack. It is always easy to discover, after the fact, warning signs that were missed, gaps in security that should have been plugged. It is a much harder thing to identify these in advance.

This is really just an anti-Poilievre piece.

Ottawa’s emissions targets for fertilizer use unrealistic, industry report argues

A new industry-led report suggests Canada’s farmers can likely only achieve half of the federal government’s targeted 30 per cent reduction in fertilizer emissions by 2030.

The report, commissioned by Fertilizer Canada and the Canola Council of Canada, examines what effect a 30 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers on Canadian farms would have on crop yields and farm financial viability.

FUREY: Just how broad is the Laith Marouf problem?

It’s a good thing the Liberal government has admitted a mistake in doling out grants to something called the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC). But now the question becomes how broad of a problem are we dealing with here.

Anyone involved in approving implementation, managing, teaching or otherwise supporting the CRT/anti-racism scam in anyway within Canada’s public sector should be regarded as a vile racist like Marouf and immediately terminated.

What we know about the victims of the Sask. stabbing spree

A first responder, a veteran and a 77-year-old widower are among the victims identified in a stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan that claimed the lives of 10 people and injured 18 others.

Western University gets court approval to rename scholarships honouring ‘racist’ professor

An Ontario court has granted Western University permission to remove the name of an emeritus history professor from six academic prizes funded by his estate following criticism that he espoused radical, racist views.

Kenneth Hilborn taught history and international relations at the London, Ont., university from 1961 to 1997. After his death in 2013 at age 79, Hilborn’s estate bequeathed $1 million to Western, including $750,000 to the history department for four undergraduate and two graduate awards that have been handed out since 2016.

In 2019, scholars began calling on the school to intervene, linking the scholarships with the legitimization of extreme right-wing beliefs by universities.

There is no point in denying History, use it as a teachable moment.

CSIS’s cover-up of Islamic State trafficking backfired, says author

Frustration with charging risks slowing EV adoption, hooking Canada on fossil fuels for longer

Public charging infrastructure is only one piece of the electric-vehicle adoption puzzle. But nearly half of EV owners in Canada use public highway rest-stop chargers once a week or more, according to a 2022 report by consulting firm Ernst & Young Global Ltd. (EY). As sales increase, the auto industry risks a generation of disgruntled first-time EV buyers frustrated by poor-quality or broken chargers, which could slow adoption and keep the country hooked on fossil fuels for a longer period of time.

It’s one thing to be optimistic but another to be delusional.

California is on the edge of a nervous breakdown with orders issued not to charge EV’s.

What would be the point of a nation wide charging system infrastructure if we do not have the ability to generate the necessary power?

Scientific American magazine says Western science invented the ‘two-sex model’

Science isn’t what it used to be. And I don’t mean because Dr. Fauci is getting old and is about to retire.

(Yet another) case in point: Scientific American Magazine, a once respected monthly, recently put out a bizarre series of tweets effectively suggesting that earlier Western scientists just concocted the idea of two sexes…to serve the interests of the white supremacist patriarchy.

Ryan Alford: Hiding behind national security will erode trust in Emergencies Act inquiries

Half a year has gone by since the Trudeau government took the unprecedented step of invoking the Emergencies Act to deal with protesters in Ottawa and at several border crossings. Yet the question of whether this was an appropriate and measured use of emergency powers or an unconstitutional power grab seems no closer to being answered — and likely won’t be, so long as Ottawa continues to hide behind a veil of secrecy.

Internal Communications Reveal How Biden’s Censorship Enterprise Colluded With Big Tech

Thanks to Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, we know that a large number of agencies within the Biden administration actively coordinated with a variety of social media platforms to censor and suppress posts about COVID-19 that they deemed to be misinformation.

Schmitt has “received a number of documents that clearly prove that the federal government has an incestuous relationship with social media companies and clearly coordinate to censor freedom of speech.” In a new filing, Schmitt called the censorship activities “a massive, sprawling federal ‘Censorship Enterprise,’ which includes dozens of federal officials across at least eleven federal agencies.”
