Men will represent women at a 3,000-delegate all-male gathering on Afghanistan’s future, a senior Taliban figure has said.
The meeting in Kabul on Thursday is the first major gathering of Islamic clerics and tribal elders since the Taliban seized power last August.
Critics and civil society groups said it will not have legitimacy if Afghan women, who number around 20 million, do not attend.
Politicians say their jobs are loathsome. But they’re part of the reason why
It’s probably a good thing Canada is avoiding a federal election for the next few years. It might take that long to find people willing to run for office.
All of the political news of late seems like a repeated warning label against the toxicity of a career in public life.
On Monday, it was B.C. Premier John Horgan who hopped on the exit ramp, announcing he no longer had the energy required to stay long-term in office. Though Horgan has emerged cancer-free from punishing radiation therapy earlier this year, the premier took a long hard look at his life and decided it needed to be politics-free as well.
Currently the goal of our put upon elected representatives seems our impoverishment. Few but they are better off since the Liberals were elected. Our mainstream political parties are an indistinguishable blob of entitlement hurt at the very suggestion they are not the objects of our unwavering admiration.
We need term limits. The bureaucracy has to be gutted and it’s predatory unions crushed, automation can easily handle the work most do anyway. That would be a great start.
SAANICH, B.C. — Multiple explosive devices were found in a vehicle related to the two suspects who were gunned down outside a bank in Saanich, B.C.
Saanich Chief Const. Dean Duthie said Wednesday an RCMP explosive disposal unit was able to transfer the devices from the vehicle to a local landfill and destroy them.
I say again…This level of commitment is not typical of everyday garden variety bank robbers. I suggest they may be linked to the Coastal Gas terror attack.
There’s something crucial missing: an explanation from RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki. It can’t wait much longer.
The allegation that the Liberal government pressured the RCMP to release information about the investigation into the Nova Scotia shootings of April 18 to 19, 2020, in order to advance their gun-control agenda is now boiling down to two increasingly irreconcilable versions of events – with Commissioner Lucki in between.
We need the commissioner to come forward, quickly.
I doubt that is gonna happen. The Liberals and their cronies know they can get away with bald faced lies and face no consequences whatsoever.
Face it our political class is as corrupt as any Banana republic and there isn’t an institution the Liberals have not compromised.
The RCMP are the TonTon Macoute of Canada, anyone arrested by them should consider themselves political prisoners and seek aid from human rights agencies and sympathetic organizations such as the GOP beyond Canada’s borders.
As NATO summit ends, Canada promises more military aid to Ukraine
Canada is set to provide the Ukrainian armed forces with more than three dozen new armoured personnel and some new drone cameras, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said as the NATO leaders’ summit in Madrid ended Thursday.
Additionally, Canada will host two new NATO research centres, one which will focus on new security challenges brought on by climate change and another which will focus purely on solving defence and security problems and inventing new defence technology.
OTTAWA – New federal regulations to force down the greenhouse gas emissions from gasoline and diesel will cost Canadians up to 13 cents more per litre at the pump by 2030.
An impact analysis of the Clean Fuel Regulations published Wednesday estimates they will cut about 18 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2030, or five to six per cent of what Canada needs to eliminate to meet its current targets for that year.
It will cost between $22.6 billion and $46.6 billion for refineries and other fuel suppliers to comply, or an average of about $151 per tonne of emissions reduced.
The federal government has to do more to counter the threat of ideologically motivated violent extremism in Canada, including strengthening terrorist financing laws to counter it, the House of Commons public safety committee has recommended.
In a report tabled before the House of Commons rose for the summer, the committee also recommended the federal government work with provinces to prevent what it described as a rising threat in Canada and to take steps to hold online companies more accountable for extremist or hateful content circulating on their platforms.
However, the committee also acknowledged that there are issues surrounding any move to limit free speech.
Seems most of the “ideologically motivated violent extremism” in Canada flows straight from the Liberal Party.
Aga Khan, SNC, Gropergate, Purchasing the media, Justin’s Blackface follies, Exclusion of religious organizations from public funding for pro-life beliefs, Identity politics & race-baiting as public policy, Cheapening the value of Canadian citizenship, Mass-immigration for corporate & LPC political gain, Covid tyranny, Fake unmarked graves, Church burnings, Emergencies act, Totalitarian censorship proposals, RCMP scandal, using the Ukraine crisis to foist the LPC’s economy killing green-scam agenda on the public, the list goes on and on.
This is the shocking moment a pregnant Iranian woman is shoved to the ground because she was dancing and not wearing a hijab.
Video shows the pregnant woman dancing in front of onlookers at a gathering before a woman wearing a hijab shoves her to the floor – causing the victim to fall on top of a child who was sitting down.
But the pregnant woman fights back and slaps the attacker in the face in front of a crowd of shocked onlookers.
As you likely recall, our incoming associate justice on the Supreme Court is unable to define what a woman is. She’s not a biologist, after all. But a new survey conducted by Pew Research indicates that a growing majority of Americans suffers from no such confusion.
The U.S. SCOTUS ruling correcting federal law by returning the issue of abortion back to the states has prompted Black women to become a focal point as leverage for leftist/progressive actions and agitations.
If Black women confirmed the KKK wanted them to abort their babies, they’d double down on having as many babies as possible in revolt. If Black women confirmed evil racists wanted to exterminate their race via targeting them for abortion, they would reject and denounce abortions. If Black women confirmed abortion was specifically concocted to enshrine and uphold “White Supremacy,” they would reject it altogether. It’s time to tell Black women historical facts and truth instead of purposeful attempts to use and manipulate them for evil.
The US president is using the full force of the state to promote this divisive and damaging ideology.
Joe Biden seems to have no idea how to respond to America’s big challenges. Facing inflation, a border crisis and rising crime levels, he’s frozen like a deer caught in headlights. Not even approval ratings below those of his predecessor, Donald Trump, seem to rouse him.
From Billie Joe Armstrong to Miley Cyrus to Taylor Swift, their response to the Dobbs decision was a parade of stupidity.
Idiots are like rabbits. When you look around, they are nowhere to be seen. But suddenly, someone sneezes, and they come out from under the bushes by the hundreds. Most people who work in the woke entertainment industry do so quietly. At the end of the day, it’s all about getting paid for acting or singing and at the same time changing the public’s way of thinking, making the worst possible use of their God-given talent — in some cases. In others the talent is nonexistent, and they are blissfully unaware.
The Conservative leadership front-runner either truly believes in the crazy ideas he spouts, or he just shamelessly promotes nonsense to gain support. (That would make him Justin Trudeau.)
Pierre Poilievre has always appalled me.
But as Canada Day approached and Ottawa braces for more “freedom” protests on Parliament Hill that Poilievre unreservedly supports, I grow even more appalled.
That’s because the Conservative leadership race front-runner either somehow truly believes in the crazy ideas and causes that he spouts, or he’s a dishonest non-believer who just shamelessly promotes such nonsense in order to gain support from angry, disaffected Canadians in his bid to become party leader.
Cybersecurity experts say fake accounts created to give China miners competitive advantage
Pro-Chinese agents posed as concerned local residents on social media to try to spark protests over the opening of rare earth mines in the U.S. and Canada, cybersecurity researchers said in a new report.
The fake Twitter and Facebook accounts were created to give China, the largest producer of rare earth minerals, a competitive advantage, cybersecurity research company Mandiant disclosed on Tuesday.
