Last week, Quebec Premier François Legault took to Twitter to celebrate after New York State authorities tentatively approved the first new transmission line in three decades that would connect Quebec’s vast hydroelectric network to the northeastern U.S. grid.
I used to watch WWII documentaries about Germany and ask, “Why didn’t those civilians fight back before walking into a gas chamber?” Now I know.
What would lead a man to become so monstrous as to murder his own mother? Islam. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law.
The president of the Conservative Party says party national council member Bert Chen’s sponsorship of a petition “attacking” leader Erin O’Toole puts him at risk of being dropped from the council.
“When you hold an office in the party, there’s an expectation that your conduct is such that it doesn’t detract or harm the interests or the reputation of … the national council on which you serve … the party and … the leader,” Rob Batherson, president of the Conservative Party of Canada, told CBC News.
The former mayor of an Italian town who revitalised his community by welcoming and integrating migrants has been sentenced to more than 13 years in jail for abetting illegal migration and for “irregularities” in managing the asylum seekers.
Domenico Lucano, 63, known locally as Mimmo, the former mayor of Riace, a tiny hilltop town in the southern Calabria region, was put under house arrest in 2018 for allegedly abetting illegal immigration, embezzlement, and fraud.
A Danish museum wants an artist to return around 534,000 kroner ($83,000) he had been given in cash to recreate old artworks using banknotes, after he produced blank canvasses with the title “Take the Money and Run”.
Jens Haaning, a Danish artist, was commissioned by the Kunsten Museum.
He was asked to reproduce two of his works representing the annual salary in Denmark and Austria.
But the artist pocketed the cash and produced the blank canvasses.
I’ll do a couple of stick men for a few hundred.
I ended my last column on COVID contradictions from our political and medical authorities with a reference to last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, one of which was ornamented by an appearance (mask on, knee bent) by our own prime minister. These protests were declared medically welcome, if not necessary, in a time of COVID. That opinion was trumpeted in a major media statement by 1,200 “medical authorities.” This was during the same period when eight or nine people clustered at a park picnic table to munch on chicken wings was understood as likely to spark the advent of Black Death 2.0.
A former server at a Gibsons, B.C. restaurant has been awarded $30,000 after a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal decision found they were unfairly terminated for asking managers and co-workers to call them by their proper pronouns.
The decision, by the tribunal’s Devyn Cousineau, found that Jessie Nelson, a non‐binary, gender fluid, transgender person who uses they/them pronouns, was terminated because of “how they responded to discrimination” from their employer and a colleague.
Aside from COVID-19, the digital world will be a major focus of Parliament once it resumes this fall, with several significant pieces of legislation expected to be introduced — or reintroduced — by the government.
The Liberals have promised to table several major bills within the government’s first 100 days, with the clock beginning to tick following the new cabinet’s swearing-in, expected to be in October.
Among the bills is legislation to establish a regulatory system for social media platforms to combat harmful online content, and making digital giants pay news outlets for their work.
A federal court in Canada has paved they way for billions in compensation to First Nations children who suffered discrimination in the welfare system, after a judge dismissed a pair of legal challenges by the government.
Two years ago, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled that the federal government had “wilfully and recklessly” discriminated against Indigenous children living on reserves by failing to properly fund child and family services.
The tribunal ruled the federal government was required to pay compensation worth C$40,000 to each child removed from his or her home – the maximum allowable under the country’s human rights act.
I feel so reconciled.
TORONTO — Families of Canadians detained in Syria over links to ISIS have filed a case in federal court against the Canadian government over perceived inaction on getting them home.
The proceeding was filed on Monday in Ottawa on behalf of 11 families – referred to as “Bring Our Loved Ones Home,” or BOLOH, to protect their identities. The case outlines their beliefs the government has neglected to uphold parts of the Federal Court Act, the Citizenship Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, in relation to repatriating their family members.
I bet Trudeau is mulling a National Day Of Reconciliation with ISIS Day.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley admitted Wednesday during a hearing that he told his Chinese counterpart he would give him a call if the United States were about to attack.
Joe Biden allegedly got his third jab on live TV on Monday. He was already “fully vaccinated” and still wore a mask. Does that give anyone confidence in the vaccine?
Then he said he would not allow us to return to normal until 98% of all Americans are vaccinated! While the CDC is sure to approve the vaccines for ages five and up before the end of the year, despite the hundreds of thousands of vaccine injuries and deaths, Biden must think we need to vax newborns the moment they take their first breath (if they are not killed and dissected, their body parts sold first, as permitted by the Democrat bill just passed in the House).
Rasha Mubarak: “These 6 Palestinian freedom fighters offer us hope.”
On September 6th, six Palestinian prisoners being held in an Israeli jail escaped, forcing Israeli authorities to launch a manhunt for them. All have been caught, since. Of the six, five are members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and one is a commander in the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, two groups internationally-recognized as terrorist organizations. Democratic operative and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib staffer Rasha Mubarak thinks otherwise; she has lionized the terrorists as heroes. It is not the first time Mubarak has championed Palestinian terror, and the Democratic Party continues to embrace her and even groom her for future political office.
I just sued Facebook.
I didn’t want to sue. I hate lawsuits. I tried for a year to reach someone at Facebook to fix things, but Facebook wouldn’t.
Here’s the problem: Facebook uses “independent fact-checkers” to try to reduce fake news on their site.
