Fighting systemic racism, extremism will be priority for next military chief: Trudeau

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says one of the top priorities for the next commander of the Canadian Armed Forces will be tackling systemic racism and rooting extremism from the ranks.

The comments are the first from the prime minister since Gen. Jonathan Vance announced in July that he was preparing to step down after more than five years as Canada’s chief of the defence staff.

This has nothing to do with racism but it does outline the extremist views of the Lib-Left and their determined effort to degrade Canada’s military and destroy it as an institution.

LILLEY: Top civil servants getting chauffeured on your dime

LILLEY: Top civil servants getting chauffeured on your dime

Quick, without using Google, name the superintendent of Financial Institutions. Can you do it? Could you name the president of the Public Service Commission?

You should know their names because they are among the most important public servants in Canada, among the 53 bureaucrats in Ottawa given a full-time car and driver. That’s right, they and many others, have a chauffeur on standby to shuttle them around Ottawa.

We are ruled over not governed by a corrupt, entitled permanent political class.

Reports that he has parallel career in China are ‘absolute nonsense’ says top Montreal engineering professor

An esteemed engineering professor in Montreal says suggestions he has a parallel, full-time academic career in his native China are “absolute nonsense,” the product of misleading articles there that exaggerated his involvement in the country.

Ke Wu of Polytechnique Montreal said he has been at times a visiting professor at three universities in China and did a sabbatical at one of them, but said those are “very conventional” academic collaborations that “contribute to Canadian well-being.”

CSIS warns of threats to vaccine distribution chain

The country’s spy agency is warning companies in the vaccine supply chain that malicious foreign actors could threaten the largest inoculation program in Canadian history — by targeting their workers, among other tactics.

Just prior to the arrival of hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses in Canada, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) recently offered a briefing to industry players about the emerging threat.

One of the people taking part in that briefing was Pina Melchionna, president of the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation. The non-profit association helps Canadian companies manage delivery logistics.

Sounds like Justin’s China boys.

Europe Confronts Second Wave of Coronavirus

The German government has reimposed strict lockdown measures in an effort to reverse a spike in Covid-19 infections. Beginning on December 16, all non-essential shops and businesses, as well as all schools and daycare centers, will be closed until at least January 10.

The new restrictions, which were agreed upon after talks between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the leaders of Germany’s 16 federal states, come after less intrusive lockdown measures that began on November 2 failed to significantly bring down the number of infections.

Boffo Idea from “Journalism” foundation: If the Media Doesn’t Report on Crime, It Won’t Exist

The Nieman Foundation for Journalism was set up at Harvard. Like everything touching old foundations and journalism, it’s a toxic disaster. And this one is right up there with In Defense of Looting.

This should be the year where we finally abolish the crime beat. Study after study shows how the media’s overemphasis on crime makes people feel less safe than they really are and negatively shapes public policy around the criminal–legal system…

How the Black Bloc seized French streets – A new wave of anarchist violence is threatening the country

The scene is a womenswear shop in the centre of Bordeaux at the end of last month. Shoppers — young women, teenagers, mothers and children — are enjoying the easing of France’s second Covid-19 lockdown.

A demonstration passes on the street outside. It is protesting against police violence and a proposed new security law. Two young women break away from the demo and scrawl on the shop window with marker pens. One, who tries unsuccesfully to hide her face, writes: “Je vomis sur vos normes.” – I vomit on your standards.

‘He ruined us’: 10 years on, Tunisians curse man who sparked Arab spring

Thanks in part to Mohamed Bouazizi’s self-immolation, Tunisians are freer than before, but many are miserable and disillusioned

His act of despair still shakes the Arab world. Mohamed Bouazizi, the 26-year-old fruit seller whose self-immolation triggered revolutions across the Middle East, has a boulevard named after him in Tunisia’s capital, Tunis. In his home town of Sidi Bouzid, he is depicted in a giant portrait facing the local government headquarters.

But a decade since he set himself on fire in protest at state corruption and brutality, Bouazizi is out of fashion in Tunisia – along with the revolution his death inspired. His family have moved to Canada and cut most ties with Sidi Bouzid. “They were smeared,” says Bilal Gharby, 32, a family friend.

In Sidi Bouzid’s main street a passerby, Fathiya Iman, 54, when asked what she thinks of Bouazizi, looks to his picture across the road. “I curse at it,” she says. “I want to bring it down. He’s the one that ruined us.”

WARMINGTON: OPP senior officer and family pal charged in missing Gretzky memorabilia

The Gretzky family had such trust in this senior OPP officer, she would routinely accompany patriarch Walter to Maple Leaf games.

Funny. She’s involved in “Elder Abuse.”
