Chicago statues of Columbus, Presidents Washington and Lincoln among commission’s list of 40 controversial monuments throughout city

Statues of Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley, as well as the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, were among the 40 public statues and other commemorative markers identified on a list from Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration on Wednesday for further review as part of “a racial healing and historical reckoning project” started last summer.

The city launched a website on Wednesday detailing the controversial monuments flagged by the mayor’s commission on monuments. Other statues on the list included a police memorial tied to the Haymarket Riot and a statue of Leif Ericson at Humboldt Park.

Two Christians face the death penalty in Pakistan after a Muslim accused them of blasphemy and insulting the Koran

Two Christian men could face the death penalty in Pakistan after they were accused of using insulting remarks against Islam’s holy book and its Prophet Muhammed.

Authorities are seeking the arrest of the Christian men in the city of Lahore, Pakistan’s police said Wednesday.

The case against the two men was registered last Saturday on the complaint of a Muslim local resident Haroon Ahmed, said Muratab Ali, a police investigator, who said the accused persons had yet to be arrested.

Ontario’s new pandemic math doesn’t add up

“Am I missing something here,” a journalist asked Adalsteinn Brown, the head of Ontario’s Science Advisory Table, after he had walked viewers and reporters through the latest pandemic data and modelling, “or is this presentation actually predicting a disaster?”

“No,” Dr. Brown replied, “I don’t think you’re missing anything.”

Go incognito, it’s a Globe editorial. Things do not bode well for Ontario if the variants take hold.

Ford plans for all cars sold in Europe to be electric by 2030

Ford has pledged that all of its cars on sale in Europe will be electric by 2030, in the latest move by the world’s biggest auto manufacturers to set out plans to move away from polluting internal combustion engines before looming bans on fossil-fuel vehicles across the world.

The US car giant said on Wednesday that it was going “all in” on electric vehicles and would invest $1bn (£720m) converting a vehicle assembly plant in Cologne, Germany, to become its first electric vehicle facility in Europe. It said the first all-electric cars would start rolling off the production line there in 2023.

Somehow I doubt the eco-zealots will approve all the nuclear reactors needed to power these vehicles. But then they don’t want you driving at all.

LILLEY: Trudeau misfires with proposed gun-control measures

The best assessment I can give of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s gun control legislation is that it fails on all fronts, except perhaps the one that matters most to him — getting votes from people who think he is acting to stop gun crime.

The Liberals unveiled their newest gun control bill Tuesday to a heavy dose of criticism from people they likely thought they would please.

Canadian Govt Body Prioritises Race For Vaccinations

The Canadian advisory committee on immunisation has said the government should prioritise adults from “racialised communities” for the “second stage” of the country’s Wuhan coronavirus vaccination plan.

My mother is in Covid lockdown at a Toronto Hospital, this is the 2nd time since Christmas, 5 people on her floor are infected, thankfully she is not. I was informed today she has pneumonia. She’s 96 years old no one has come near her with a Covid vaccine. But then she’s white.

CNN, NBC Paid Antifa Activist for Footage From Capitol Breach

Three news agencies paid an activist who identifies as Antifa and was charged for allegedly committing crimes during the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol for footage he captured during the mayhem.

CNN, NBC, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) paid John Earle Sullivan thousands of dollars to use video clips he shot inside the building, according to a new court filing.

As China’s Big Tech Hits America, Biden Signals Surrender

On February 11, the Justice Department asked the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to put on hold its review of the Trump-era ban on WeChat, the popular Chinese messaging app.

This request came a day after the administration asked the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia for a similar hold on the case considering the Trump ban on the Chinese mobile video-sharing platform TikTok.

Lower U.S. courts had previously enjoined the enforcement of the Trump bans. WeChat users and TikTok had sued to block enforcement. Trump banned the apps because they were, he correctly contended, collecting “vast swaths” of data and censoring Americans.

News Corp. and Google reach global news-sharing deal

News Corp., the parent company of the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, said it has reached a three-year agreement to provide content from its news sites around the globe to Google in exchange for “significant payments” from the search giant.

The deal appears to resolve a long-simmering standoff between News Corp. and Google that has spilled across multiple continents and spurred government efforts worldwide to curb Google’s growing dominance over online advertising, most prominently in Australia.

‘Spy pixels in emails have become endemic’

The use of “invisible” tracking tech in emails is now “endemic”, according to a messaging service that analysed its traffic at the BBC’s request.

Hey’s review indicated that two-thirds of emails sent to its users’ personal accounts contained a “spy pixel”, even after excluding for spam.

Its makers said that many of the largest brands used email pixels, with the exception of the “big tech” firms.

Defenders of the trackers say they are a commonplace marketing tactic.

New legislation promises to let cities ban handguns, yet it remains unclear if it will work

While proposed gun control legislation put forward by the Liberal government on Tuesday would permit cities to ban handguns — with bylaws that restrict their possession, storage and transportation — it remains unclear whether the new measures would succeed in reducing gun crime.

Under the proposed legislation, cities would have a range of options.

Some include an outright ban on having a handgun anywhere within a city’s limits. Or a city could ban the storage of handguns in a house, requiring owners to pay for storage at a gun club or other facility.

‘Hate-filled’ account owners preparing lawsuit against Edmonton high school students over violent threats

The creators of the controversial “Scona White Student Alliance” Instagram page are preparing a class-action lawsuit against fellow students at Strathcona High School for uttering violent threats over its content, including a tirade condemning anti-racism discussions in the classroom and its “anti-white” rhetoric.

In their first post, they called for racial equality – for individuals to be judged by their actions and the content of their character. However, they also exclaimed “White lives matter” in the same post.

I’m not familiar with the account in question but if posting “White Lives Matter” is their only crime then it’s further proof that “anti-racism” is now just cover for anti-white bigotry.
