Charges stayed in one of Ontario’s largest Mob busts after alleged illegal conduct by investigators

One of the largest police investigations into organized crime in Ontario’s history has fallen apart after police allegedly illegally intercepted phone calls as part of a multimillion-dollar probe into suspected Mob activity in the Greater Toronto Area, CBC News has learned.

The operation, dubbed Project Sindacato, resulted in charges against nine people in Canada who police alleged were part of a criminal organization with ties to the Mob in Italy.

On Jan. 27, prosecutors stayed the charges against six of the accused, including alleged boss Angelo Figliomeni, after defence lawyers raised concerns that investigators committed “significant breaches of solicitor/client privilege.” Three of the accused previously had their charges stayed in 2020.

This seems an odd “own goal,” lawyer client privilege is a fundamental precept. Ain’t it?

‘Cancel them before they cancel us’: Gab CEO says banks have banned platform due to media smears

Three banks have refused to do business with Gab, a Twitter competitor outspoken about free speech, in recent weeks, the company’s chief executive revealed. Andrew Torba blamed the development on mainstream media hit pieces.

The third bank to sever its relationship with the company in three weeks told Torba on Monday that they were doing so because of “all the bad things the press has written about Gab,” he said in an interview published by the conservative outlet National File.

Parler is clunky I prefer Gab. You can ignore what you don’t want to see on any social media platform assuming it’s not censored to begin with a la Twitter and FB.

Tale of two vaccine roll-outs: COVID-19 numbers plummet in Toronto’s long-term-care homes, while Ontario’s remain ‘stubbornly high’

After being at the centre of COVID-19 deaths and mass outbreaks, the city’s long-term-care homes have new, hopeful data that could be a sign of encouraging things to come.

This week, Toronto Public Health reported a “substantial decline” in the rate seniors have tested positive in long-term-care homes, from 10.9 per cent in November to just 0.6 per cent as of the week of Feb. 7 — well below the overall city rate of 4.8 per cent.

It was the “first sign” Mayor John Tory said this week that the city’s vaccination efforts were working.

Mom has been in hospital almost 3 months. She’s 96, currently in a rehab where she caught Covid after dodging a bullet during previous outbreaks at two separate hospitals. No one thought vaccinating hospitalized seniors was a good idea?

Mom is in isolation, alone, I have not yet spoken to her since hearing of the Covid diagnosis yesterday.

A picture from Iwo Jima

It’s February. The star-spangled kneelers of the NFL have given way to their imitators in the NBA, and soon some millionaire dugout squatters of baseball will be adding their insults to the flag they hate.

Today is February 23, an otherwise unremarkable day in history. The first Gutenberg Bible was printed, the first Salk polio vaccine shot administered, and Mississippi was allowed back in the Union. But nothing worth a holiday or a greeting card.

Biden’s Equality Act is not the unifying issue he thinks it is

Biden’s Equality Act is not the unifying issue he thinks it is

President Joe Biden has announced that he will move ahead with a proposed Equality Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. A decision celebrated by Liberal America, it will be the first such legislation to be implemented at US federal level. Campaigners argue this is necessary in a nation where, in many states, it’s still legal to refuse housing or services to someone on the basis of being gay or trans. But the legislation comes with a sting in the tail for women, which may prove unexpectedly costly to the Democrats.

John Kerry never got out of bed with Iran

He kept up a bromance with Javad Zarif during the entire Trump administration

Failed former Secretary of State John Kerry spent so much time wooing Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif during the Obama administration that people started talking.

After years of public canoodling, romantic garden strolls and secret pallets of cold, hard American cash sent under the cover of night, Monsieur Kerry never could get Mr. Zarif and the Iranians to kick their habit of bankrolling terrorism around the globe.

Al Jazeera Launches Site To Woo Conservatives

When the Islamic terror state of Qatar directed its Al Jazeera international propaganda machine at America, it naturally veered toward targeting the treasonous Left. During the War on Terror and the Bush era, lefties were the obvious demographic who were likeliest to be receptive to Qatar’s propaganda.

Qatar is the funder behind the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups, it’s an ally of Iran and its royal family has links to September 11.

‘Divisive and offensive’ race theory training forced on San Diego County healthcare workers

Government employees in San Diego County are being forced to undergo lectures that claim only white people can be racist, according to an employee who says the training is taking away from their efforts to battle COVID-19 and a homelessness epidemic.

The Health & Human Services Agency required employees to spend six hours watching the online racism course, a training participant told the Washington Examiner. Critical Race Theory classes taught participants “Racism is a WHITE” problem, and, “Only white people can be racist.” The title of the course is ‘Power and Privilege.’

60 Years After Eisenhower’s Warning, Distinct Signs of a ‘Digital-Intelligence Complex

In June 2019, Susan Gordon stood on a stage at the Washington Convention Center. Behind her loomed three giant letters, “AWS,” the abbreviation for Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing division of the giant Internet retailer. After three decades at the Central Intelligence Agency, Gordon had risen to one of the top jobs in the cloak-and-dagger world: principal deputy director of national intelligence. From that perch she publicly extolled the virtues of Amazon Web Services and the cloud services the tech giant provides the CIA.

Jonathan Kay: Imported U.S. culture war about as Canadian as the Dallas Cowboys

You’ve probably never heard of The Sketchersons, a Toronto-based comedy sketch troupe that’s been around since 2004. But obscure though the topic may seem, please indulge me as I step you through the group’s recent meltdown, for it offers an unusually fine case study in the social panic afflicting Canada’s creative class.
