Burkina Faso says most of attackers in village massacre were children

A massacre in north-east Burkina Faso in which more than 130 people were killed this month was carried out mostly by children between the ages of 12 and 14, the country’s government and the UN have said.

Assailants raided the village of Solhan on the evening of 4 June, opened fire on residents and burned homes. It was the worst attack in years in an area plagued by jihadists linked to Islamic State and al-Qaida.

A government spokesperson, Ousseni Tamboura, said the majority of the attackers were children, prompting condemnation from the UN.

Eligibility rule keeps transgender runner out of trials

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Transgender runner CeCe Telfer will not be allowed to compete in the women’s 400-meter hurdles at U.S. Olympic trials because Telfer has not met the conditions World Athletics established in its eligibility regulations for certain women’s events.

Telfer competed for the men’s team at Division II Franklin Pierce, but took time off, then came back to compete for the women’s team. In 2019, Telfer won the NCAA title.

Charles financially supported Sussexes until summer of 2020 – Clarence House

The Prince of Wales continued to support the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with a “substantial sum” in the months after they stood down as senior royals, Clarence House has said.

Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey his family “cut me off financially” in the first quarter of 2020.

A Clarence House spokesman said Prince Charles continued to fund the Sussexes until that summer.

The Sussexes deny there is a difference in timelines.

Leaping to Conclusions Without the Facts on the Indigenous Residential Schools Question

Recent accounts of 215 indigenous children buried and forgotten in a cemetery on a residential school grounds in Kamloops are shocking.  According to these accounts the cemetery was described as a mass grave (the term usually describing war crimes and massacres) of children who were neglected, abused and abandoned in the residential schools and buried in the cemetery to hide their deaths.

However, the report of Dr. Scott Hamilton, Anthropology Department at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, who was retained by the National Centre Truth and Reconciliation to address this question, provides a different record.

Dr Hamilton’s report can be found at: https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/AAA-Hamilton-cemetery-FInal.pdf

Dr. Hamilton’s report, based on available documentation, indicates that at least 3,213 children were reported to have died in residential school over a period of approximately 100 years.

DeSantis Signs Education Reform Bills that Ban ‘Intellectually Oppressive’ Environments

In yet another random act of federalism out of the Sunshine State, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed several education reform bills to expand civic lessons, ban “intellectually oppressive” environments and teach students that communism is evil.

“Why would somebody flee across shark infested waters, say leaving from Cuba, to come to southern Florida? Why would somebody leave a place like Vietnam? Why would people leave these countries and risk their [lives] to be able to come here?” DeSantis said. “It’s important that students understand that.”

In a tweet, DeSantis urged that the civics curriculum will celebrate patriotism.

She may be Justin Trudeau’s Minister of Indigenous Affairs, but Carolyn Bennett resorted to stereotypes when insulting Indigenous MP and former cabinet minister Jody Wilson-Raybould.

Is no one going to mention how confusing and out of it Biden was?

Is no one going to mention how confusing and out of it Biden was?

President Biden’s topic was one of utmost importance Wednesday — crime and gun violence. But you wouldn’t know it from the way he spoke.

He slurred his words. He called the ATF “the AFT.” At one point, he talked about the history of the Second Amendment and “the blood of patriots” before concluding that someone would need nuclear weapons to take down the government. If you weren’t confused, you were horrified.

Priest under fire after sermon on the ‘good done’ by Catholic church on residential schools

A Mississauga priest is under fire after a sermon referencing the “good done” by the Roman Catholic church in residential schools, saying some might go so far as to even thank it.

During his sermon at the Merciful Redeemer Parish last Sunday, Pastor Owen Keenan referenced the Kamloops, B.C. residential school where the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation reported it had discovered the preliminary remains of more than 200 children in unmarked graves in May.

“Two thirds of the country is blaming the church, which we love, for the tragedies that occurred there,” he said on a video originally posted to the church’s YouTube page but since deleted. Clips of his sermon continue to circulate on social media.

Right or wrong it doesn’t matter, the Catholic church has lost virtually all credibility due to the enormity of the pedophile priest child abuse scandal . The sharks are circling. Its rainbow coalition of enemies will ensure more church burnings.

Revolutions devour their own? … Indigenous community hurt amid allegations of false identity at Queen’s

Indigenous faculty and students at Queen’s University say the administration has left them in the dark as questions grow in response to an anonymous report alleging six instructors, professors and associates falsely claimed Indigenous identity.

The anonymous report circulated online earlier this month and shortly after its publication, the university in Kingston, Ont., strongly rejected the report’s allegations.

That rejection was then met by an open letter signed by nearly 100 Indigenous academics calling on the university to examine the potential harm of misrepresentation among faculty and staff.

Ontario is reporting just under 300 new COVID-19 cases today as the province’s active caseload dips below 3,000 for the first time since September.

Ontario to enter next step in its reopening plan on June 30, personal care services can reopen

Ontario will move to the next step in its reopening plan on June 30, allowing most personal care services to reopen while also permitting larger outdoor gatherings of up to 25 people and smaller indoor gatherings of up to five people.

The province wasn’t actually supposed to enter step 2 in its reopening plan until at least July 2 but in recent days Premier Doug Ford had hinted that his government would consider an earlier reopening based on rapidly improving public health indicators and steadily declining case counts.

Covid criminalized haircuts. What a world.

Liberals introduce bill to ̷f̷i̷g̷h̷t̷ ̷o̷n̷l̷i̷n̷e̷ ̷h̷a̷t̷e̷ criminalize dissent with Criminal Code amendments

The Liberals have introduced a bill to tackle online hate by amending Canada’s Criminal Code and Canadian Human Rights Act.

Bill C-36 would allow a person to appear before a provincial court, with the Attorney General’s consent, if the person fears that another will commit an offence “motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor.”

It’s Section 13 with a Hatey Face.

If passed then pointing out that sectarian violence, honour killings, the murder of apostates and gays along with all the other ways Islam enriches the world will make you a criminal.

Some, who should know better, believe this law will prevent or at least punish those who vilify Israel as an apartheid state etc.

The gatekeepers won’t allow that to happen. Instead this dangerous legislation will be used to enforce sharia law. Dissenting opinions deemed objectionable such as criticism of multiculturalism and immigration policy will be silenced based on the whims of the anointed.

Your right to free speech will be the collateral damage of this abusive law and make no mistake that was the intention all along.

We are fucked no?

2021

A very bad year.

Took my brother in to a vascular specialist today, he had what amounts to a full body ultrasound. The good news is they will not have to amputate his toe, yet.

He suffered a series of silent heart attacks. They left him so damaged that surgery of any kind was ruled out.

He is in palliative care at home, his body is literally shutting down.

Now blind in one eye and his face drooping on one side as if from a stroke the few steps from his front door to my car exhausted him.

We used Mom’s wheelchair to get him about once downtown.

We speak once a week by phone, he is remarkably stoic as is his wife.

He fatigues so easily that sometimes he begins to fall asleep while we chat. Of course that may speak volumes about my skills as a conversationalist.

They are arranging a hospital bed for his use at home as he has chosen to end his days there.

Earlier this month I felt a dark cloud descending and then it dawned on me that 6 months had passed since Kathy passed away. 4 months for Mom.

It isn’t that I forget, I think of them both every day, it’s just that the passage of time seems so out of sync now.

Kathy’s birthday was in May.

We always celebrated April 1st as well, our first date.

June 25th will be our wedding anniversary.

Birthdays, anniversaries, and all those wonderful little events and traditions that made up and anchored our life together will always be remembered and quietly, wistfully celebrated.

Kathy in Vancouver, Steyn Alaska Cruise.
