Andrew Cuomo is gone. But his lawless legacy will live on
The amazing thing about Andrew Cuomo’s announcement this week that he is stepping down as governor of New York is not that he left office, it is that it took this long for him to resign. And among the most troubling parts of the interminable saga is how many crimes he and New York politicians normalized in the process – because so many of these officials were complicit, too.
An Ontario pastor who was fired from a Baptist church after coming out as transgender has filed a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal, alleging her termination was spurred by discrimination.
Rev. Junia Joplin presented as male when she first took on the job of lead pastor at Lorne Park Baptist Church in 2014, and continued to do so until she came out to the congregation in a live-streamed sermon in June of last year.
Forced conversion to Islam of young Christian and Hindu girls, some under the age of 12, seems to be an everyday occurrence. To those who are in a position to stop this practice, it appears not to matter. Almost no day goes by without news of these events.
This major and growing problem in Pakistan affects religious minorities. Human rights organisations working on this issue estimate that every year 1,000 Hindu and Christian girls are forced to convert to Islam — an estimate that could be far higher as many cases remain unreported. Most of the time, these girls are lured by much older men by the promise of a better life and sometimes are pushed into prostitution or even sold.
Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. diplomat who negotiated a withdrawal deal with the Taliban last year, is back in Doha, Qatar, desperately trying to cobble together some kind of face-saving agreement for the Afghan government that would allow them to leave the country alive.
Joe Biden urges Afghans to ‘fight for their nation’ as Taliban advance continues
Joe Biden has urged the Afghan government to “fight for their nation” even as a Taliban offensive continued to make rapid gains, taking yet another provincial capital.
Faizabad, the provincial capital of the northern Badakhshan province, fell overnight to the Taliban, which control 65% of the country and nine out of 34 provincial capitals as the US and Nato finalise their withdrawal after a decades-long war.
Yea, Joe will rally them.
A new BBC investigation has revealed the scale of operations by a shadowy Russian mercenary group in Libya’s civil war, which includes links to war crimes and the Russian military.
A Samsung tablet left by a fighter for the Wagner group exposes its key role – as well as traceable fighter codenames.
And the BBC has a “shopping list” for state-of-the-art military equipment which expert witnesses say could only have come from Russian army supplies.
Russia denies any links to Wagner.
American Express, which made a $2.3 billion profit last quarter, invited the great-grandson of the Nation of Islam’s founder to tell its employees that capitalism is evil.
It was part of the credit-card giant’s critical-race-theory training program, which asks workers to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves on a hierarchy of “privilege.”
“… In recent decades, Canada and many other nations had routinely employed a kind of dual-track diplomatic approach with Beijing. The two sides would discuss trade and business matters more or less independently from any other issue.
On the one hand, Canadian leaders would publicly condemn China’s ongoing abuses and advocate for the rule of law. On the other hand, as the Asian country’s wealth grew, Canadian leaders would go on trade missions, attend economic summits and arrange bilateral state visits in hopes of striking trade or investment deals.
When trade was the focus, human rights and the rule of law usually wouldn’t come up at all.
Western societies have mishandled or simply ignored Beijing’s actions out of narrow self-interest — eager to tap into the country’s wealth, quick to turn away from the true face of the regime. Decades of wilful misinterpretation have, over time, become our complicity in the toxic diplomacy and human rights abuses China engages in today.”
The point is made – Our China Class is a conniving, reprehensible cabal of greed driven scoundrels.
Articles penned by our “Corporate class” or at least their lackeys continue to crop up in various publications calling for engagement via trade with the communist regime because that’s worked great (for them) so far.
Our so-called national broadcaster happily served as a CCP mouthpiece and ran a hit piece against an anti-communist regime publication by recruiting a couple of cranks to feign widespread popular outrage at it’s door to door delivery because “Racist.”
The Liberal Party accepts donations from even the sketchiest of Chinese “business moguls” while Justin plays dress-up and a former LPC minister offered legal advice for Meng Wanzhous’ defense.
Our universities whore themselves in Communist China’s service and even our military thought it a swell idea to offer training to the “Peoples Liberation Army”.
God forbid we learn that Canada contributed to the Covid catastrophe by opening our virus lab to Chinese agents. Our government certainly aided the regime by parroting the CCP line when the virus was first unleashed so anything is possible.
Chinese state media articles quoting a Swiss biologist accusing the US of politicising Covid origin investigations have been quietly deleted, after the Swiss government said no such person exists.
On 24 July, a Facebook post by an account named Wilson Edwards claimed to have witnessed or learned of US efforts to politicise the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 investigations from within.
Edwards cited unnamed WHO sources and “fellow researchers” complaining of having endured “enormous pressure and even intimidation from the US side as well as certain media outlets”.
Canada’s Liberal and Conservative parties won’t say if they’ve mandated COVID-19 vaccination among their candidates — or even whether they’re asking them about their vaccination status — as rumours swirl that a snap federal election is coming.
Global News recently reached out to the five main parties to get their stance on the topic as the country continues its fight against the pandemic, and as calls grow to require vaccination for a growing number of non-essential activities and professions.
Ontario reports more than 300 new COVID-19 cases, 3 more deaths
Ontario’s daily COVID-19 case count continues to hover between 300 and 400 new infections per day and infectious diseases experts are cautioning that a surge in cases is expected in the coming weeks.
Provincial health officials recorded 324 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus today, on par with the 321 new cases confirmed on Tuesday but up substantially from the 139 infections reported just one week ago.
‘No doubt’ Canada now in 4th wave of COVID-19 as cases spike across much of the country
With COVID-19 cases rising in multiple provinces after a summer lull, more signs point to Canada entering an expected fourth wave of the pandemic — one which could be dramatically different from earlier surges, thanks to rising vaccination rates, but not entirely pain-free.
The country’s seven-day average for new daily cases is now close to 1,300 — an increase of nearly 60 per cent over the previous week, with cases ticking back up mainly in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec.
DINGDANGDONG, CHINA — A Chinese court sentenced Canadian entrepreneur Michael Spavor to 11 years in prison Wednesday in a spying case linked to Beijing’s pressure campaign against the Canadian government over the arrest of an executive at tech giant Huawei.
A Canadian court will hear final arguments in the next few weeks over whether to hand over the executive, Meng Wanzhou, to face U.S. criminal charges in connection with possible violations of trade sanctions on Iran.
Trudeau issues statement… “Unacceptable”
Remember Pajama Boy, the onesie-clad man with hot chocolate who was hired by Obama White House allies to get young people to buy the Obamacare and its ‘narrative’?

An SAS soldier who fought terrorists in a Kenyan hotel siege while off-duty has been forced to reveal his identity after people kept impersonating him on social media and in pubs near the elite force’s Hereford base.
The Special Forces veteran, who uses the pseudonym Chris Craighead on Instagram, shared a photograph showing his face for the first time.
The image shows Craighead leading Kenyan security forces towards the luxury DusitD2 hotel in Nairobi in 2019 before storming the complex and defeating al-Shabaab terrorists.
So much for “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”
In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden called the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”
It would be easy to dismiss this hyperbolic comparison as just one more example of Biden’s painfully obvious dementia. But, as part of a major speech undoubtedly crafted by White House staff, it is clear that this claim was part and parcel of the Biden regime’s ongoing efforts to demonize and destroy its political opponents, including those who have questioned the legitimacy of the November 2020 presidential election.
Two days ago I had to flee my home and life in the north of Afghanistan after the Taliban took my city. I am still on the run and there is no safe place for me to go.
Last week I was a news journalist. Today I can’t write under my own name or say where I am from or where I am. My whole life has been obliterated in just a few days.
I am so scared and I don’t know what will happen to me. Will I ever go home? Will I see my parents again? Where will I go? The highway is blocked in both directions. How will I survive?
