Green party leader to face non-confidence vote by party brass in July after failing to meet ultimatum

OTTAWA — Green Leader Annamie Paul is facing a non-confidence vote next month as internal strife continues to roil the party ahead of a possible election this year.

Liana Cusmano, president of the party’s federal council, told grassroots members in a virtual town hall Wednesday that party brass would hold a vote on July 20 that could result in Paul’s ouster.

For Canada Day The CBC Presents A Moving Portrait Of An ISIS Supporter Whose Desire To Stay In Canada Is Being Thwarted By You Evil Racist Canucks!

CBC also spoke with residents of Christina Lake, B.C., where Hamdan currently lives, who expressed concerns about him being in their community. None wished to speak on the record but said they were afraid of him and felt Canadian laws had failed. (Oh the Islamophobia!)

Acquitted of terrorism but still considered a threat, this man’s status in Canada hangs in limbo

… In all, RCMP had tracked thousands of posts made by Hamdan — some that he had written, others that he had shared — and flagged 85 of them for celebrating ISIS’s success, praising lone wolf attacks and the Parliament Hill shooter, as well as identifying places in Canada with weak security.

He was denied bail and spent two years in jail awaiting trial.

This is the CBC, your terrorist friendly public broadcaster.

The New Social Justice War on Drugs is Bigger Than Ever

The New Social Justice War on Drugs is Bigger Than Ever

Democrat drug cartels fight Mexican drug cartels for billions in drug money.

California legalized pot 5 years ago, but you couldn’t tell that from the scale of the drug war.

Every few months brings another massive bust. A 40-acre illegal pot farm in an obscure part of Death Valley, the “most elaborate illegal marijuana” setup in Mendota with 50,000 pot plants that was so big that police could smell it from 1,100 feet in the air, “vast groves” worth $169 million in the eastern Sierras, and $285 million in the old Shasta region of the gold rush.

ISIS is winning the drone wars

Terrorists have joined an arms race we cannot afford to lose

Summer days in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, are unbearably hot. But this year, for the city’s residents the 44-degree heat is the least of their concerns. In recent weeks, this usually safe municipality has become a chaotic front in the Middle East’s increasingly deadly drone wars, as new technologies are exploited by Iranian-backed Iraqi militias.

Flashers’ rights: Trans activists are now defending the right of men to show their genitals to young girls.

So it’s come to this, has it? Trans activists are now defending the right of men to show their penises to seven-year-old girls? That is the properly mental take-home message of the Wi Spa scandal, in which a heroic woman marched to the front desk of an LA spa and demanded to know why there was a person with a penis – what we used to call ‘a man’ – parading around the women’s changing rooms.

Toulouse slams ‘cancel culture’ and shoots down French feminists’ request to ban exhibition of ’70s ‘porno chic’ photographer

The southern French city of Toulouse has refused to cancel an exhibition of a famed 1970s provocateur fashion photographer that feminist groups say glorifies violence against women.

Feminist groups protested outside the Poster Museum of Toulouse on Wednesday. They demanded that the exhibition of the works of French fashion and commercial photographer Guy Bourdin be shut down.

I thought pornography and Sex-Work was supposed to be liberating.

Step Aside – A modest proposal to uproot systemic racism in the media

“… The fundamental principle underlying the idea of systemic racism in our time is that every white person, whether explicitly racist or not, is a participant in America’s systemic oppression of black people. This infinite regression of culpability—in which, if a white person confesses to racism, he is a racist, and if he doesn’t, he is even more a racist—is a construction of systemic accusation created out of the fabrication of systemic racism. It is so contrary to ordinary experience and common intuition that it could only thrive in a framework of punishment and reward based on status, power, opportunity, ambition, and fear.

Unlike every social movement in modern history, the woke movement was created by, for, and deep within the media.”

How China is turning religion into another state-controlled tool to support its Communists ideals

How China is turning religion into another state-controlled tool to support its Communists ideals

The black and white picture shows a small formation of troops in uniform, standing at attention. They are arranged in front of a white flag emblazoned with a single character: fo, or Buddha.

It’s a moment in distant Chinese history, but one the country’s Communist Party is eager to once again bring to life.

In 1936, Buddhist monks took up arms against Japanese forces. In Shanghai, 120 monks fought “against the god of death and Japanese invaders,” according to an interpretive panel displayed by the image in the Ya’an Religious Sinicization Exhibition Hall. The monks fought, the exhibit says, under the credo: “If I do not descend into hell, who will?”

Go incognito.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot says criticism of her temperament is ‘about 99%’ because she’s a Black woman

Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday night that “about 99%” of the criticism she receives over her temperament is due to the fact she’s a Black woman.

The mayor made the comment during an interview on WTTW-Ch. 11 after being asked about questions people have raised over temperament and how she reacts to criticism. The mayor has been known to be tough on staff and confrontational with critics, contributing to significant staff turnover.

When asked how much of the criticism has to do with the fact she’s a Black woman, Lightfoot said, “About 99%.”
