Here’s how the Freedom Convoy changed Canada for the better
As the political science continues to evolve and the world moves on from the “pandemic,” all eyes are now on Ukraine and Russia.
For a month, the most engaging phenomenon in recent Canadian history took place on the streets of Ottawa. All eyes were on the frozen streets in front of Parliament as thousands of trucks and tens of thousands of patriots descended on Trudeau’s stronghold to demand an end to the nonsense.
At the UN, Whatever You Do, Don’t Mention the War
Russian Collusion fans have had a hard time of it lately, as their favorite theories about how the evil mastermind Putin installed his dimwitted stooge Trump in the Oval Office have been exploded, but that ever-vigilant guardian of global peace, the United Nations, is ready to fill in the breach. The United Nations’ Department of Global Communications has ordered its staffers not to refer to Ukraine war as a “war,” or to Putin’s invasion as an “invasion.” If you still thought the UN was some sort of impartial international arbiter, this ought to disabuse you of that notion forever.
I was a nuclear missile operator. There have been more near-misses than the world knows
From 2012 to 2017, I worked as a US air force nuclear missile operator. I was 22 when I started. Each time I descended into the missile silo, I had to be ready to launch, at a moment’s notice, a nuclear weapon that could wipe a city the size of New York off the face of the earth.
On the massive blast door of the launch control center, someone had painted a mural of a Domino’s pizza logo with the macabre caption, “World-wide delivery in 30 minutes or less or your next one is free.”
Why Are the Biden Administration, EU, Appeasing the Iranian Regime?
While the European Union has leveled different kinds of sanctions on Russia, including restricting access to the EU’s capital and financial markets, the EU nevertheless continues to appease Moscow’s staunch ally, the world’s largest sponsor of state terrorism, Iran.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is opportunistically using the humanitarian tragedy in Ukraine to spread the narrative that the war is not Russia’s fault, but rather that the West and the “mafia regime” of the US, which is trying to negotiate a new nuclear deal with the mullahs, are to be blamed. Meanwhile, he is trying to advance his country’s revolutionary principles and hegemonic ambitions and promoting his long-held anti-American and anti-Western policy.
Columbus police officer who shot Ma’Khia Bryant cleared of criminal wrongdoing
… Bryant was killed in April 2021 by officer Nicholas Reardon as she swung a knife at a young woman, seconds after pushing another woman to the ground. Bryant was Black. Reardon is white.
Police were responding to a 911 call from Bryant’s foster home about a group of girls threatening to stab members of the household.
The killing led to a US justice department review of the police department in the Ohio capital.
‘Where there’s God, there’s victory’: Canadian priest is territorial-defence chaplain in war-ravaged Ukraine
Father Yuriy asks politely if we can postpone the first leg of an online interview. An air-raid siren has just gone off, he says, and he and his wife Mariia have to hurry to a nearby basement for shelter.
It’s hours before they surface again.
Group Promotes Transgender Ideology: ‘No Such Thing as Other People‘s Children‘
Leftist organization Together Rising is investing money and raising funds to help transgender youth advocacy organizations in Florida after the Sunshine State passed a bill prohibiting gender theory from being taught from kindergarten to third grade.
“There’s no such thing as other people’s children,” the group claims, following a longstanding narrative from leftists that children do not belong to their parents, but rather to the community as a whole and are effectively wards of the state.
The Charest-Poilievre clash is a conflict over Conservative identity
A month ago, Pierre Poilievre used his highly weaponized Twitter account to announce a run for the Conservative leadership with a tightly staged three-minute video: the MP in a suit and tie, seated at a desk before an expansive bookshelf, vowing to deliver Canadians from oppressive government and elite control.
On Thursday, Jean Charest announced his own candidacy for the Conservative leadership by joining Twitter and posting a casual 22-second video — no tie, only a blank white wall behind him — to greet his new followers.
Parents Chant ‘Racist’ While Asian Mother Shares Anti-CRT Book During Fairfax County School Board Meeting
Parent activists in northern Virginia chanted “racist” at a public school board meeting while a mother shared an anti-critical race theory book about the district’s wrongdoings, according to video footage of the encounter.
Asra Nomani, a parent activist in the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), brought copies of the book “Race to the Bottom” to share with the FCPS Board. The book includes an investigation into the board’s role in lowering admissions standards at an elite magnet school to lower the number of Asian students admitted.
Here are the countries that import the most Russian oil
The vast majority of Russia’s oil exports are purchased by Europe and China, which together account for 90 percent of the country’s total exports.
That’s made it tougher for Europe to enact similar bans as the U.S. on Russian imports and lessens the economic hit to Moscow from the Biden administration’s decision this week to cut off Russian oil.
Canada’s plan to help offset Russian oil ban for Europe expected by March 23: minister
Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says it will be another week or two before Canada will know with certainty how much extra oil it can produce and ship to help offset bans on the use of fossil fuels from Russia.
But he says longer-term conversations about Canada partnering with Europe on renewable energy are likely more realistic and more lucrative.
This $700 million superyacht may belong to Putin
With several yachts belonging to Russian oligarchs already having been seized by Germany, France and Italy other yachts have been doing their best to disappear. But for some unfortunate oligarchs that may not be possible because their yacht was having work done and was not even in the water when sanctions were put in place. That may be the case for superyacht Scheherazade, a 459 foot long yacht which remains in an Italian dry dock this week.
Inside Jussie Smollett’s terrifying new prison home
Jussie Smollett’s new digs are actually pretty terrifying — as one would expect from a prison.
The Cook County Jail where the “Empire” actor will spend the next 150 days has faced hundreds of lawsuits over the years, with inmates alleging overcrowding, violent treatment and not enough protection against other inmates.
In the past few months alone, a person behind bars accused the jail of forcing him to share a cell with someone who had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Worthwhile Despot Initiative: Russia Moves To Declare Facebook Parent Company An ‘Extremist Organization’
March 11 (Reuters) – Prosecutors have asked a Russian court to designate Facebook’s parent organisation Meta Platforms (FB.O) as an “extremist organisation,” Interfax reported on Friday.
The state prosecutor also asked Russia’s communications watchdog to restrict access to Meta’s Instagram social networking service.
Reuters reported on Thursday that Meta would allow Facebook and Instagram users in some countries to call for violence against Russians and Russian soldiers in the context of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine .
Canada’s Real Prime Minister?
Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland furnishes an interesting case study in an apparently contradictory dynamic of incompetence and competence. As a high-ranking minister, she is clearly incompetent, having, for example, nearly deep-sixed our NAFTA treaty talks with Donald Trump. Her insistence on the inclusion of “progressive” policies, such as gender equality, labor union safeguards, a chapter dedicated to indigenous peoples, and favored environmental standards only ensured that Canada got the short end of the renewed accord. Her attempt to enact Liberal policy was politically inept.
