TORONTO — Canada will continue to discuss with its partners a potential diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, a foreign affairs spokesperson says, amid the recent disappearance of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai.
“Canada remains deeply disturbed by the troubling reports of human rights violations in China,” said Syrine Khoury, press secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, in a statement to CTVNews.ca.
As new defence minister, Anita Anand says ‘culture change’ in the military is her first order of business
HALIFAX — The sexual misconduct crisis afflicting Canada’s military is hurting recruitment and morale in the ranks, Anita Anand said Friday as she used one of her first public addresses as Canada’s new defence minister to lay out her priorities for the position.
Recruit more trannies!
Disappointed, prosecutor Thomas Binger, who has been heavily criticized for his actions during the case, sat back in his chair, looked at the ceiling, and issued a sigh as the first verdict in the Kenosha murder trial came in.
Defense lawyer Mark Richards did not hold back, blasting the Kyle Rittenhouse prosecutor within minutes of the end of the trial in Wisconsin.
‘Prosecutors are supposed to seek the truth — it’s not about winning,’ he said.
Gang of 14 Chicago thieves ransack Louis Vuitton store during looting following Rittenhouse verdict and make off with $120,000 in brazen daylight robbery
A gang of 14 thieves stole about $120,00 worth of merchandise in broad daylight from a Chicago-area Louis Vuitton store as the Windy City’s rampant crime spreads to its posh suburbs, police said.
Shocking video shows the gang entering the store at the Oak Brook Center one at a time on Thursday after an armed guard went on a short break.
Once they were all inside, the thieves pulled out trash bags from their coats and jumped to every corner of the store, stuffing their bags full of designer products.

Kyle Rittenhouse is now a free man after fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during anti-racism protests last year, but his trial has left behind a divided America – and done little to ease tensions in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the killings took place.
Rittenhouse, 18, who faced charges of homicide, was acquitted in full on the grounds of self-defense. But the jury’s decision did not calm the people outside the Kenosha county courthouse in the hours after news of the verdict rippled across the city, and the rest of the United States.
The shouting matches that flared on the courthouse steps between supporters of opposing sides embodied the wildly different lenses through which a divided America viewed the case.

Pretty tepid protests to date – Protesters Take to Streets Following Rittenhouse‘s Not Guilty Verdict
Four black girls hit with ethnic intimidation charges in brutal attack against Asian students on Philadelphia train
The mother of one of four black teenage girls who was captured on video brutally assaulting a group of Asian students on a Philadelphia train turned her into police as all four were slapped with a slew of charges, including ethnic intimidation.
Shocking video captured the group of black teenage girls brutally throwing punches and screaming profanities at a group of Asian students this week.
The unidentified girls, who were between the ages of 13 and 16, were charged with aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, criminal conspiracy, simple assault, disorderly conduct, and recklessly endangering another person, according to the district attorney’s office.
Nadia Murad at the age of 14 was kidnapped by ISIS, the vicious terrorist mob, and was taken into sex slavery
Nadia Murad at the age of 14 was kidnapped by ISIS, the vicious terrorist mob, and was taken into sex slavery. From that pit of hell, she incredibly found the personal resources to escape, champion the cause of brutalized young women everywhere, and ascend to the heights of the world’s high honour, the Nobel Prize. This information has been a click away on any laptop for three years. Yet the TDSB was intent on keeping students in its jurisdiction from exposure to such a true heroine. The equity department was concerned she would stoke Islamophobia!
In a sane world the TDSB would be scrapped and rebuilt after the loons had been cleared out.
Emergency crews in western Canada continued searching on Friday for victims of flash floods and mudslides which tore through the region this week, as survivors described harrowing escapes from the disaster.
British Columbia declared its third state of emergency in a year on Wednesday after a month’s worth of rain fell in two days, swamping towns and cities, blocking major highways and leaving much of the province under water.
So far, officials have confirmed just one fatality, in a landslide near the village of Pemberton. But gripping testimony from a journalist who survived that incident suggests that figure is likely to rise.
Kyle Rittenhouse is now a free man, but he’s far from leaving the spotlight.
Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson revealed Friday that there was a Fox Nation crew filming for a Tucker Carlson Original documentary that will appear on the streaming platform in December. He will also sit down with Rittenhouse this Monday during Fox News Channel primetime for the young man’s first televised interview following his not guilty verdict.
But Rittenhouse’s lawyer, Mark Richards, told CNN he ‘did not approve of that,’ referring to the film crew being with Rittenhouse during the trial, and even ‘threw them out of the room several times.’
Ontario reports 728 new COVID-19 cases, 5 more deaths
Ontario reported more than 700 new COVID-19 cases and five more deaths on Saturday.
Provincial health officials logged 728 new infections today, down from 793 on Friday but up from 661 a week ago.
Rotterdam police open fire as Covid protest turns into ‘orgy of violence’
Police have opened fire on protesters and seven people were injured after rioting erupted during a demonstration against Covid-19 restrictions in central Rotterdam, in what the city’s mayor described as an “orgy of violence”.
Ahmed Aboutaleb told reporters in the early hours of Saturday morning that “on a number of occasions the police felt it necessary to draw their weapons to defend themselves” as rioters rampaged through the shopping district, starting fires and throwing stones and fireworks at officers.
“They shot at protesters. People were injured,” Aboutaleb said.
July 2021 was the tenth anniversary of my monthly series, “Muslim Persecution of Christians” (published by the Gatestone Institute). Back in July 2011, I began to collate and summarize the accounts of persecution that surfaced every month in one report — so that there is a record, so that when the time comes, the usual excuse, “we never knew,” won’t stand.
It’s no secret that Americans are paying record prices at the gas pumps. Rapidly ascending prices also affect the cost of all the goods and services that are an integral part of the American economy. Farmers, manufacturers, delivery companies, repair people…you name it: they’re paying more to do their jobs, and they’re passing those costs to consumers. So why now, of all times, is the Biden administration selling off America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to Asia?
Woke America is obsessed with symbolism, which only turns everything into a grift
It’s bad enough when someone actually thinks reposting an “I Stand With…” meme is an act of woke resistance. But when the problem is enlarged to a societal scale, it hurts us all. Nothing actually broken ever gets fixed, and a deep sense of cynicism is injected into once-believers when they realize they’ve been conned. We live inside a con job where the appearance of action is mistaken for action.
The Israeli technology has reportedly been used to spy on journalists and politicians across continents.
The biggest spy scandal of the year has been all but ignored in conservative media. Apart from a freelance story in the Washington Examiner, a conservative reader will be entirely in the dark about the scandal embroiling Israeli cybersecurity firm NSO Group.
Controversial psychologist and author Jordan Peterson claimed Western countries had no “moral right” to force developing nations to reduce pollution output, noting instead that improving their economies was key.
During an appearance on the BBC’s ‘Question Time’ show on Thursday, the Canadian professor noted that the focus of climate change policies should be on incentivizing the development of cheap energy in poorer polluter countries.
