Ukraine: EU compromises on Russian oil ban, but clashes with Austria and Germany over gas

Austria and Germany have ruled out any European Union embargo on Russian gas imports after a Brussels summit agreed a partial oil ban last night.

Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are already pushing to step up Russian energy sanctions to keep the pressure on President Putin, but the EU appears to have hit the political limit on gas imports.

Setting the scene for a new clash over sanctions, Karl Nehammer, the Austrian chancellor, said that there could be no question of suspending gas imports because of the effect on major European economies, such as Germany’s.

I guess the next step is to ship Ukraine half a rifle or half a grenade etc.

‘That sounds disgusting’: Disturbing allegations at B.C. undercover police training course

One of B.C.’s police watchdogs says it wants to go outside the province to find an investigator into an astonishing series of allegations about what happened in a course that trains undercover police officers.

CTV News has learned that course, the B.C. Municipal Undercover Program, was shut down abruptly earlier this month following allegations several officers went to extreme lengths in a course scenario to prove they are not a cop.

Those actions are alleged to include exposing genitalia, defecating on another officer, penetrating an officer using a vegetable, and removing feminine hygiene products, multiple sources confirmed to CTV News.

How Ontario’s election-night scenarios could unfold

With just two days of campaigning left until Thursday’s election in Ontario, the Liberal and New Democrat campaigns are coming to grips with the reality that only two scenarios could realistically play out on Thursday night: either Doug Ford wins another majority or he and his PC Party fall just a few seats short.

All reputable Ontario polling aggregator sites — including the CBC Ontario Poll Tracker, the Signal by Vox Pop Labs for the Toronto Star, and the iPolitics/Mainstreet Research election dashboard — are forecasting a Progressive Conservative majority as the most likely outcome.

Trudeau’s gun ban – what the foreign press is reporting

Telegraph UK – Canada plans to freeze handgun sales in wake of US school shooting

The move is intended to tackle rising levels of gun crime, but critics say the key issue is guns that are illegally smuggled from the US

Politico – Invoking Uvalde, Trudeau out to freeze handgun sales

“We need only look south of the border to know that if we do not take action, firmly and rapidly, it gets worse,” the prime minister said as he introduced new measures.

BBC – Handguns: Canada proposes complete freeze on ownership

The legislation would not ban the ownership of handguns outright – but would make it illegal to buy them.

Guardian – Canada plans complete freeze on handgun ownership

Bill Blair, minister of emergency preparedness, said Canada was “very different from the United States”. “In Canada, gun ownership is a privilege, not a right,” he said. “This is a principle that differentiates ourselves from many other countries in the world, notably our colleagues and friends to the south. In Canada, guns are only intended to be used for hunting and sport purposes.”

The Times – Canada to freeze handgun sales after Texas shooting

Rod Giltaca, the head of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, called the handgun freeze “absurd”.

NYPost – Canada moves to ban sale of handguns in sweeping bill introduced after Uvalde shooting

… Under the law, US gun smugglers would be hit with stronger criminal penalties and authorities would have more resources to crack down on guns making their way across the border.

NYT – Canada Plans to Ban Handgun Sales and Possession of Assault Weapons

“We have a responsibility to act to prevent more tragedies,” Prime Minister Trudeau said as he proposed tightening the country’s already stringent control of firearms.

In case you missed it: We introduced legislation earlier today that, if passed in Parliament, will further strengthen Canada’s gun control laws. For more on what that means and why we’re taking these steps, watch this video and click this link: https://t.co/BYcdjI2mHe pic.twitter.com/2slVfkm6gY

Breitbart – Canadian PM Justin Trudeau Freezes Handgun Sales, Purchases

Trudeau opined, “Gun violence is a complex problem, but at the end of the day the math is really quite simple: The fewer the guns in our communities, the safer everyone will be.”

Breitbart News reported that Chicago had a handgun ban from 1982 til 2010. During that time, homicide numbers skyrocketed as only criminals had guns.

Think the government is going to target gun smuggling on Indian reserves?

Last time I checked there were few gangsta’s lining up to purchase registered firearms.

3D printer sales will skyrocket.

A compelling book warns of the dangers of radical Islam

Anna Mae D. Simmons, having devoted a lifetime of study of the culture and religious teachings of Islam and then turning her efforts to exposing the evil of Islam, has written a book that energetically and intensely studies the Islamic religious literature traditions in order to provide non-Islamists with a perspective on the uniquely belligerent, cruel, barbaric religion of history: Islam. She provides us with insights in the book Who is the Radical Islamist? And Why? (213 pages, softcover $9.99, ISBN 978-14787-94509 [Outskirts Press 2018]).

Even though on every turn of the page, she adds reverent mentions of Muhammad, the point of the book is that she exposes the reasons why violent and barbaric jihadism is the guiding light of fundamental Islam and has not been extinguished. It is still the paradigm of action for Islamists even in situations where they are in the minority.

Have we passed peak trans?

The number of people identifying as trans and non-binary may have peaked, a new report suggests.

Between 2020-21, the number of American undergraduates from the leading 50 universities identifying as non-binary fell from 1.5% in 2020 to 0.85% in 2021. This is, as the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) notes, a ‘substantial decline’ that is supported by two other data points.

In the BLM Year, 52% of Black Teens Who Died Were Murdered

The issue isn’t school shootings, it’s crime.

After the Uvalde school shooting, the CDC and the media are pushing a misleading claim that, “firearms were the leading cause of death for kids one and older for the first time in 2020.”

There’s no statistical reason for the CDC to group infants and teenagers together into the same category except to push a gun control agenda. 1-year-olds and 19-year-olds don’t have much in common when it comes to gun violence. And when the numbers are broken down, teenagers have catastrophically high murder and suicide rates, while babies are much less affected.

The Hill: It is now irresponsible not to report on UFOs

Now that a House intelligence subcommittee has held the first public hearings in more than half a century on the subject of UFOs, it feels as if there has been a seismic shift in the field of journalism. There were decades when the subject was considered to be far too unserious for mainstream publications, so the idea of unknown anomalous objects in the skies was met with silence or, worse, ridicule. Once the New York Times broke the story of a formerly unpublicized UAP investigative program in the Pentagon in 2017, that began to change. But most of the coverage was still couched in caveats, suggesting “possibilities,” while leaving room for the idea that they were all just Russian or Chinese drones.

Doctors confirm trans swimmer Lia Thomas DOES have an unfair advantage even after taking testosterone suppressants

Doctors have confirmed that trans swimmer Lia Thomas does have an unfair advantage over the biological women she swims against even after taking testosterone suppressants.

In an interview with The New York Times on Monday, a Mayo Clinic doctor and an international physiologist who consults on the sports both confirmed Thomas’s advantage is inescapable.

‘There are social aspects to sport, but physiology and biology underpin it. Testosterone is the 800-pound gorilla,’ Michael J. Joyner, the Mayo Clinic doctor, said.

Many Border Patrol Agents, Cops Who Responded to Uvalde School Shooting Uninvited from Biden Event

Biden administration officials uninvited many of the Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers who responded to the Robb Elementary School shooting from a meeting with the president scheduled for Sunday in Uvalde. Despite the event being planned for a large open-space facility, administration officials cited space as a reason for the retracted invitations.

Why shootings are on the increase in Sweden’s suburbs

“Our kids are actually dying – and it’s weekly. Mother after mother, after mother is burying their kids,” the heartbreaking words I heard from Maritha, a mother whose son Marley was shot dead on the streets of Stockholm.

Maritha spends her time campaigning to end gun crime, whilst her son’s killer is yet to face justice.

When I travelled to Stockholm for my On Assignment report, Maritha would be the first person to tell me the primary factor driving Sweden’s rising gun crime murders was segregation, but she would not be last.

The headlines about serious youth violence and gang crime bring to mind cities such as London, New York and Sao Paulo.

Canada’s Top Judge Spoke Bias Against Trucker Convoy, Lawyers Say

Thirteen lawyers have sent a complaint letter to the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) about comments made by Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Richard Wagner regarding the trucker convoy that staged large-scale protests against COVID-19 mandates in downtown Ottawa earlier this year.

The seven-page letter quotes a full page of excerpts from an April 9 Le Devoir article in which Wager said the convoy was “the beginning of anarchy where some people have decide to take other citizens hostage, to take the law into their own hands, not to respect the mechanism. … That, I find that worrying.”

Wagner characterized the convoy protests as a “circumstance that could undermine our principles such as judicial independence, the rule of law, institutions.” He said the protests included people of “good faith” but also others who were “remotely guided” with “misunderstanding” and “a certain ignorance” of the rule of law, and who were seeking to bypass the political “system.”

Milky Way galaxy has four ‘malicious’ alien civilizations that could attack Earth: researcher

There may be four extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way that could attack our planet, a researcher has claimed.

Alberto Caballero, a PhD student at the University of Vigo in Spain, authored a study in the International Journal of Astrobiology earlier this month in which he claimed that he pinpointed the so-called “WoW! Signal.”

The signal, which was first detected by a radio telescope in 1977, was a strange minute-long burst of radio energy that may have originated from a Sun-like star 1,800 lightyears from the Earth, according to Caballero.

PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S. – A 36-year-old Nova Scotia man charged following an anti-mask protest outside the home of the province’s chief medical officer is facing 13 firearms-related charges in an unrelated incident.

During a brief court hearing in Port Hawkesbury, N.S., it was decided Jeremy Mitchell MacKenzie will be arraigned on 12 firearms charges in Pictou, N.S., on June 6, and on the remaining charge on June 27 in Port Hawkesbury.

RCMP officers in January searched MacKenzie’s Pictou home and allegedly found five restricted firearms, prohibited magazines, body armour and ammunition.
