If you oppose widespread drug open use in society, it’s likely due to colonialism and racism. That’s what British Columbia’s Human Rights Commissioner wants you to believe and it’s what she’s telling provincial politicians in B.C. in a new report.

Parents should ask babies for ‘consent’ before changing their diapers: experts
It’s a move that might stink to some parents, but there’s a new-age way to change a newborn’s undies.
Drenched diapers are no longer messes that need to be ripped off a baby’s bottom posthaste, according to new advice by early childhood development researchers in Australia.

How the Conservatives helped pass Carney’s budget, avoiding an election
Minutes before time ran out on Monday’s budget vote, two senior Conservatives swooped into the chamber claiming their electronic voting app wasn’t working and declared they wanted to vote against Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget.
MPs Andrew Scheer and Scott Reid, the party’s House leader and caucus chair respectively, could have voted “nay” in the chamber just moments before. But they didn’t cast their votes until all of their colleagues had finished.
Bodies Keep Turning Up in Syria, Haunting New Leaders
IZRAA, Syria—Early one morning last December, Dr. Mamdouh Zoubi drove to a farm on the edge of this small town in southern Syria to collect the bodies in a newly found mass grave, one of more than 100 turned up across the country.
The new owners of the farm, which had been sold days earlier, shortly after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, had stumbled across the bodies that morning and alerted Dr. Zoubi, who is one of the only forensic specialists in the area. The burial site, now used as a tomato farm, was next to a military checkpoint that served for years as a base for Assad’s soldiers.
Islamism — the threat to Canada you won’t hear uttered by the Liberals
Since the October 7 pogrom by Hamas in southern Israel, Canada has seen a staggering surge in antisemitism, up 670 per cent in 2024, and in terrorism charges, up 488 per cent from April 2023 to March 2024. In both cases, the salient factor is Islamism.
Islamists, a small but influential fraction of Muslim communities, harbour the profound conviction that they “should deploy the necessary efforts not only to rule according to Sharia law but also to Islamize society, laws, governance, and all aspects of life…. across the Muslim world and beyond.”
Pope Leo backs US bishops’ rejection of Trump’s policies
Pope Leo XIV said many immigrants in the US were being treated in a way “that is extremely disrespectful,” supporting a recent statement by US Bishops expressing concern about immigration raids.
Pope Leo XIV has supported the US Conference of Catholic Bishops rare statement on US immigration and urged the US government to “treat people humanely.”
The Bishops’ message leveled criticism of President Donald Trump’s policies of mass deportation and the “vilification” of immigrants. The US clergy spoke about the fear and anxiety that immigration raids have sown in communities. They also rejected the denial of care to migrants in detention centers.
I don’t think many support a Pope that roots for illegal alien criminals.
EISEN: Ford, Trudeau governments more similar than you might think
From 2018 until early 2025, the federal government under Justin Trudeau and the Ontario government under Doug Ford dominated Canadian public policy. Despite different rhetoric, both increased spending and taxes, ran persistent deficits and made little progress on debt, revealing surprising similarities in their fiscal approaches.

Family of Indian man lynched over beef rumours vows to keep fighting for justice
The family of a Muslim man, who was lynched by a Hindu mob in India’s Uttar Pradesh state in 2015, say they will continue fighting for justice after authorities recently moved to drop all charges against the accused.
Mohammad Akhlaq, then 50, was beaten to death after rumours spread that he had stored and consumed beef, a claim his family continues to deny.
Slaughter of cows is a sensitive issue in India as the animal is considered sacred by Hindus, who comprise 80% of the country’s 1.2 billion people. Uttar Pradesh is among the 20 states with strict laws banning cow slaughter and the sale and consumption of beef.

Terry Newman: Carney should mend relations with the U.S. before cozying up to China
At the end of October, Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the APEC summit in South Korea. The Prime Minister’s Office said the two leaders agreed that their meeting “marked a turning point” in the relationship between Canada and China, with both pledging to “resolve outstanding trade issues and irritants” and co-operate on a wide range of issues, from “clean and conventional energy, to agriculture, manufacturing, climate change and international finance.”

Children’s AI Teddy Bear gave advice on sex and where to find knives
The gift of a teddy bear has always been thought a safe option for children. But parents could be forgiven for thinking that perhaps nothing is sacred after an AI-powered bear was only too happy to provide tips on where knives were kept and explain various sexual positions.
A group of researchers in the US and Canada tested three of the toys, including Curio’s Grok and Miko’s Miko 3. But it was the answers given by the Chinese-made Kumma teddy, retailing at $99, which provided the most worrying answers.

Ontario’s Ford Plans to Publicize Sex Offender Details, Ready to Use Notwithstanding Clause
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government is drafting legislation to publicize parts of the sex offender registry and that he will use the notwithstanding clause if the courts try to block it.
The government’s preliminary consultations are beginning on changes that Ford said will ensure children are protected from sex offenders by making sex offender registry information public. Ford’s announcement comes after an Oct. 31 Supreme Court of Canada decision that ruled mandatory minimum one-year sentences for child exploitation convictions are “unconstitutional.”
Ford said something kinda conservative, a scandal must be brewing.
