Ukraine Fears Western Capitulation on Russia as Cracks Emerge – Trudeau Turbine Surrender Called “Morally Bankrupt”

“… Last weekend brought the Canadian-German decision—supported by the U.S. in a statement issued on Monday—to waive sanctions and release a turbine needed for the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline. The two-year waiver was described by President Volodymyr Zelensky as “weakness” and “absolutely unacceptable.”

A source close to Zelensky’s government, who spoke with Newsweek on the condition of anonymity, described the rationale for the Canadian decision as “bizarre and non-sensible,” and the decision itself as “morally bankrupt.””

Veteran nurse shares why some are leaving patient care

Behind the story of emergency room closures across the country are the workers impacted, like “Sue,” a 25-year veteran nurse in Ontario who openly weeps about her decision to leave front-line medical care.

The 52-year-old, who has been independently verified to have been a nurse by CTVNews.ca but asked to protect her identity, said she loved her job caring for patients, having worked as an operating room nurse, in surgical care wards, and in rehab and palliative care.

But since February, she has been off work on stress leave and is seeing a psychologist after suffering burnout.

Is there anything that isn’t falling apart in Canada?

Saudi Arabia: The significance of Biden’s fist bump with crown prince

It was a striking photograph. The US president and the man he’d called a pariah, bumping fists in the gilded splendour of Jeddah’s royal palace.

Saudi Arabia was always going to be the controversial stop on Joe Biden’s first trip to the Middle East as US president.

Just four weeks earlier, Mr Biden had said he wouldn’t meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on his visit here.

Fear, loathing and ‘anti-politics’: Inside the new reality for Canadian politicians

The man kept following her and screaming that he wanted to go home.

Judy Sgro, a Liberal member of Parliament, was herself just trying to get home from the West Block on Parliament Hill when she noticed a man in his forties following her. It was during the “Freedom Convoy” protests this winter, when anti-government and anti-vaccine-mandate protesters occupied the downtown streets for three weeks.

The incident quickly went from bizarre to frightening for Sgro, who has served in office for more than 30 years and says she has never been confronted in the way she was that night.

Trudeau event at brewery cancelled as apparent convoy protesters set up outside

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s day of whistle stops in the Ottawa area ended early Friday as anti-Liberal protesters gathered outside a brewery before he arrived.

Following uneventful stops in Gatineau Park in Quebec and two Ottawa suburbs earlier in the day, Trudeau was on his way to the Brasserie Etienne Brule Brewery in Embrun, Ont., about 30 minutes east of Ottawa. The event was called off before he arrived.

‘Simply no way for me to cut back anymore’: Canadians reveal how BoC’s interest rate hike affects them

Since the Bank of Canada announced the biggest interest rate hike in decades aimed at tempering rising inflation, Canadians have been assessing the impact on their purchase decisions and financial futures.

This week, CTVNews.ca asked Canadians what impact the unexpectedly large rate hike will have on their lives.

While some are left axing plans for home improvements and decreasing grocery budgets, others, who are hoping to enter the housing market, see the hike as a “positive” opportunity amid falling housing prices.

It’s not just us. Western democracies are fragmenting.

Three major elections on the same Sunday in June — in France, Colombia and Spain — tell the fundamental story of democracy in our era: the continuous disaffection with government, the collapse of traditionally dominant parties and figures, and the constant search for alternatives — which is quickly followed by yet more disaffection and the search for yet other alternatives. This is no longer a narrative of dysfunction distinctive to one country, if it ever was. The Conservative Party in Britain is now scrambling to find a new prime minister; the government in Italy is near collapse. The nature of political authority has fundamentally changed. Political power has become fragmented, as voters abandon traditional parties and turn to upstart, insurgent parties or independent, free agent politicians from across the political spectrum.

The Nazi Roots of Islamist Hate

“The realities of Palestinian nationalist collaboration with the Nazis were a matter of public knowledge and opprobrium around the world in the immediate postwar years.”

In early June 1946, Haj Amin el-Husseini, also known as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, escaped from a year of pleasant house arrest in France and flew to Cairo. Husseini, by then often referred to in Egypt simply as “the Mufti,” was internationally renowned as a collaborator with Nazi Germany as a result of his meeting with Adolf Hitler in Berlin in November 1941, and his Arabic language tirades to “kill the Jews” broadcast to the Middle East on the Third Reich’s short wave radio transmitters. Husseini was a key figure in an ideological and political fusion between Nazism and Islamism that achieved critical mass between 1941 and 1945 in Nazi Germany, and whose adherents sought to block the United Nations Partition Plan to establish an Arab and a Jewish state in former British Mandate Palestine, helping to define the boundaries of Arab politics for decades thereafter.

Biden Gave TikTok a Pass. American Kids Died

Children died so Biden could recruit an “army of influencers”.

In the summer of 2020, President Trump imposed sanctions on TikTok, and in the next summer, Biden lifted them in his own executive order. While the Biden administration claimed that it would scrutinize the Chinese Communist company, there was an obvious ulterior motive.

Biden revoked Trump’s TikTok executive order in June 2021. That same month, the Biden administration began reaching out to TikTok influencers to build an “influencer army”.

With Few Able and Fewer Willing, U.S. Military Can’t Find Recruits

FOUNTAIN, Colo. — The local Army recruiting station was empty. The normally reliable recruiting grounds at the nearby Walmart were a bust. With the Army still thousands of soldiers short of its recruiting goal, the station commander, Sgt. First Class James Pulliam, dressed head to toe in camouflage, scanned a strip-mall parking lot for targets.

He spotted a young woman getting out of a car, and put on his best salesman smile.

“Hey, how’d you know I was going to be here today!” the sergeant said with an affable Carolina drawl, as if greeting an old friend. “I’m going to help put you in the Army!”

Gun Ownership Is Not the Cause of America’s Violence Problem

And progressive gun-control and soft-on-crime policies don’t help.

Arecent visit to a gun range with a good friend (an expert hunter and firearms enthusiast) demonstrated the importance of gun control.

Not the Democratic dream of disarming law-abiding Americans, but handling and firing guns safely and accurately — so important for gun owners or anyone pondering becoming one.

So many bitter clingers, as Obama would put it, were at the range practicing gun control. Like the two Chinese men, by appearances father and son, practicing with a 9 mm pistol. Ditto two Indian gentlemen.

Here’s Why The Media Don’t Want You To Know About The Massive Protests Going On Around The Globe

Discontent with left-wing policy failures is triggering massive protests all over the world. Just don’t expect to read all about it in the New York Times.

If you skim the front pages of major corporate news outlets, you’ll find no mention of the economic protests raging in Spain, Morocco, Greece, and the United Kingdom.

On The Washington Post homepage these days, you’ll find headlines such as, “How To Deal With A Chatty Coworker Who Won’t Get Out Of Your Office,” but you won’t find mention of the more than 100,000 people protesting in Madrid. You’ll find the story of a gay union entitled, “What’s Two ‘Yentas’ Plus One Senator? A Lifetime Together” at The New York Times, but you won’t see a single heading on the more than 10,000 protesters in Athens. Corporate media has largely glossed over the tens of thousands of farmers in the Netherlands who clogged up roadways and distributions centers by holding Canadian-trucker-convoy-style demonstrations to protest radical climate policies.

Jayland Walker shot 46 times, death ruled a homicide: Medical examiner

Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old delivery driver who was killed by police while fleeing a traffic stop last month in Akron, Ohio, suffered 46 gunshot wounds throughout his body, a medical examiner’s office determined.

Walker died of blood loss from his injuries, and his manner of death was ruled a homicide, Summit County Medical Examiner Lisa Kohler revealed Friday.

“The autopsy examination determined that Mr. Walker had 46 gunshot wound entrance or graze injuries. A graze injury results when the bullet runs along the surface of the skin but does not enter a specific area of the body,” Kohler wrote in an autopsy report obtained by the Washington Examiner.
