Portland’s Cultural Council will not replace statues of Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln knocked down by Antifa

Last October, Portland’s Antifa announced what they called an Indigenous People’s Day of Rage (in place of Columbus Day). The day of rage was intended from the start to include “direct action” which is anarchist code for smashing things. The group was true to its word. They tore down statues of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, smashed the entrance to the Oregon Historical Society, and damaged a bunch of retail outlets. They even smashed windows at a Portland State University police office. Police declared it a riot.

Big changes may be coming to Canada’s vetting of refugees

Apparently, the calls began early Monday morning, well before normal office hours.

The Sun’s exclusive on the massive expansion being contemplated by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) for who gets into Canada as a refugee appeared online late last Sunday. Before the print edition had hit some doorsteps the next morning, senior staff at the IRB were already on a fishing expedition for the leaker.

B.C. First Nations leaders blast Trudeau for spending Truth and Reconciliation Day in Tofino

… Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said Trudeau’s decision to jet to Tofino and not attend any of the multiple ceremonies and events held across the country Thursday to commemorate Indigenous children who were taken from their families and forced to attend residential schools was a “slap in the face” of survivors.

Awww… Poor Trudeauville: New data shows downtown Toronto’s economic rebound lags behind GTA — and Canada overall

As politicians talk recovery and employers tentatively roll out back-to-office plans, Toronto’s downtown streets seem at times almost as ghostly empty as they were at the height of the pandemic.

And new data may point to a reason why: recovery in the city’s once bustling downtown core is lagging behind not just the GTA, but Canada overall.

Across the country, downtowns have struggled more in comparison to the other regions of Canada’s major cities, but the gap is widest in Toronto, said Marcy Burchfield, vice-president of the Economic Blueprint Institute, an initiative by the Toronto Region Board of Trade.

That’s God’s punishment for re-electing that punk.

Gays and the religion of peace? This guy has a wicked sense of humour.

Ontario reports average of 657 new COVID cases over last two days as Toronto council considers extension of mask bylaw

Ontario is reporting more than 1,300 new cases of COVID-19 over the last 48 hours and its rolling-seven day average is now down nearly seven per cent from this time last week, as the fourth wave of the pandemic appears to recede.

The Ministry of Health confirmed the latest cases on Friday morning after not releasing any data on Thursday due to National Truth and Reconciliation Day.


Cybercriminals are offering to sell fake Canadian COVID-19 vaccination certificates online

As provinces and employers across Canada increase restrictions on the unvaccinated or introduce vaccine passports, cybercriminals are attempting to cash in by offering fake vaccination certificates for sale online.

Sellers are offering phoney proof-of-vaccination documents for several provinces that apparently look just like the real thing. Some of them even claim to be able to enter the data from the fake certificates into official government databases.

Ford government had right to cut number of Toronto commie councilors during 2018 election, Supreme Court rules

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government was operating within its legal powers when it cut the number of wards in Toronto in the middle of the 2018 municipal election, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled.

In a 5-4 split decision, Canada’s top court said Ontario did not violate the Constitution when it cut the number of wards from a planned 47-ward system to 25 wards that would align geographically with provincial and federal ridings.

Leftist policies are wrecking global supply chains and triggering shortages and looming hyperinflation. Stand by for capitalism to be blamed

We already see soaring prices, empty store shelves, shortages of critical products, factories shut down, workers unemployed, and people freezing in their homes. Soon, progressives will be blaming capitalism itself and demanding more government controls if not the outright seizure of the means of production. But in fact, these disruptions to what had been a smoothly operating integrated global economy that had raised hundreds of millions of people out of poverty in the last three decades are all due to progressive policies being enforced by those very governments that stand ready to seize even more power over our lives.

R Kelly was hiding in plain sight

Why is the benefit of the doubt so often extended?

When did we know about R Kelly — singer, producer and sexual abuser? Definitely before Monday, when he was found guilty of all counts at his racketeering and sex trafficking trial in New York. Thanks to the evidence heard in court, we’ve learned a great deal more detail about the acts Kelly inflicted on women, girls and at least one boy.

Military units track guns using tech that could aid foes

Determined to keep track of their guns, some U.S. military units have turned to a technology that could let enemies detect troops on the battlefield, The Associated Press has found.

The rollout on Army and Air Force bases continues even though the Department of Defense itself describes putting the technology in firearms as a “significant” security risk.

The Marines have rejected radio frequency identification technology in weapons for that very reason, and the Navy said this week that it was halting its own dalliance.

There is no such thing as white privilege

Even swearing is now classified as ‘white privilege’. What a load of bollocks.

So now wearing second-hand clothes is a sign of ‘white privilege’. Just when you thought you’d heard it all from the loopy identity lobby, they come out with the idea that putting on a vintage dress or a musty old man’s shirt you bought from Oxfam is proof that you enjoy racial favouritism. This crackpot claim is made in a course being foisted on students at the University of Kent. If you can wear second-hand clobber without this being held up as yet another example of the ‘bad morals of [your] race’, then you are apparently white and you’re definitely privileged.
