Crumbling Johannesburg gets a rushed makeover as G20 looms
Vhutshilo, an Uber driver, gestures with annoyance at workers busily planting flowers along the verge of a major road into Sandton, a glitzy Johannesburg suburb known as Africa’s richest square mile. “You see this,” he says, “it shows they do have resources.”
His gripe is that the government is only spending money and getting things done to impress foreign visitors before the G20 summit next weekend, while the city’s steady decay has been ignored for years and millions of its residents suffer frequent electricity and water cuts, even in the wealthy suburbs.
#DeVilliera is slowly becoming a no go zone rubbish on the street illegal street, venders in both sides of the street and not even one South African forms part of the informal trading @CityofJoburgZA @JoburgMPD is nowhere near De Villiers

Liberals survive crucial confidence vote on budget in win for Carney
The House of Commons narrowly voted to approve the federal budget Monday, ensuring Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government survives into the new year.
The confidence vote was a crucial test for Carney’s ability to hold onto power, as all opposition parties had expressed at least some displeasure with the spending plan.
Internet infrastructure firm Cloudflare hit by outage

Thousands of users reported issues with X and other services to outage monitoring site Downdetector flagged shortly after 11:30 GMT on Tuesday.
Twitter has been up and down since I logged on at 6am … this may interrupt the morning vids
Europe Faces Surge in Anti-Christian Attacks as Violence Spreads
Europe is facing a growing wave of anti-Christian violence, with Germany recording the highest number of arson attacks in 2024. According to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe), a total of 2,211 anti-Christian offenses were documented across the continent, including 274 personal attacks involving physical violence and threats.
Analysts warn that these figures reflect a climate of growing intolerance that affects local communities in concrete ways.
Nearly 60 Percent of Canadians Support Health Care Reform, Private Care Options: Poll
Nearly six in 10 Canadians support reform of the country’s public health-care system, including use of private clinics when patients face delays in receiving timely care, a new survey suggests.
Think tank SecondStreet.org, in partnership with Leger, polled more than 1,600 adults nationwide on five health-care reform options, based on the experiences of other “better-performing” universal health-care systems around the world, including those in Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Australia, Germany, and Japan, said the report detailing the findings.
Ottawa accused of quietly steering public opinion with behavioural ‘nudge’ unit
A new report from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is sounding the alarm that Ottawa has quietly embedded psychological steering tactics into federal decision-making, turning what was sold as an “innovation hub” into a political tool for shaping how Canadians think and behave.
The EU’s censorship machine: Dutch conservative influencer Eva Vlaardingerbroek gets X shadow ban lifted but worries about DSA grow
Conservative influencer Eva Vlaardingerbroek has had her shadow ban on X lifted, but Brussels surveillance and censorship machine may just be getting started. While Vlaardingerbroek is a huge name, and X owner Elon Musk may have personally intervened to lift her shadow ban, similar help may not be coming for many other dissident and alternative media accounts across Europe.
Just found out I’m shadowbanned on X.
I searched my account on someone else’s phone and it did not appear in the search results. Only fakes.
When I finally found it, it said: “This account possibly contains sensitive content” and she couldn’t follow me.
What the heck is this? pic.twitter.com/6sa6TM9gnl

Yes, the BBC should apologise – for its covid fearmongering
THE BBC’s doctoring of a Trump speech on a Panorama programme is bad enough, but it pales into insignificance when you consider its coverage of covid over the past five years. The broadcaster shamelessly went along with the government and NHS over lockdowns, masks, testing and the rollout of the vaccines without ever raising a dissenting voice or questioning any of the mandates.
Our governments are willfully blind to the financial fentanyl that is online gambling
Behind the bluster, politics and prescriptions for Canada’s ailing economy are 36,256 stories about the toll financial stress is taking on the people of this country.
That is the number of consumer insolvencies filed between July and September this year, 29 per cent above the four-year average for the same period, according to the Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (CAIRP). The accelerating numbers of Canadians who can no longer pay their creditors is a stark measure of the times.
Once the Mob has its hooks in you they don’t let go easily. Expect gambling revenue to become an ever larger source of government funding.
The Borehamwood WhatsApp farce shames the speech police
Britain’s WhatsApping parents can sleep a little easier in their beds. Remember the Borehamwood couple, Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine, arrested in January after they had complained about their daughter’s primary school on a parents’ WhatsApp group? Well, Hertfordshire Constabulary have now conceded that the arrest, at the hands of six of their officers, was unlawful. Better late than never, I suppose.
It’s Confirmed: Trump is Driving Leftists CRAZY
The news is not unexpected in the least, given the maniacal hatred that leftists have directed at Donald Trump ever since he first announced that he was running for president in 2015, and even before then, when he dared not to strike the appropriate posture of awe and reverence before the august personage of Barack Hussein Obama. Now, however, a psychotherapist has confirmed it: hatred of the president is driving leftists stark, raving mad.
Alleged terrorist released from Canadian Army reserves just days before flying to Israel
Zachareah Quraishi of Airdrie, Alta., was released from the Canadian Armed Forces reserves on July 10, last summer. Within 12 days, he’d bought a plane ticket to Israel, rented a car, and obtained a large kitchen knife.
Israeli authorities say that within hours, the 21-year-old attempted a terror attack on Netiv Ha’asara, a gated village of 900 close to the northern border of the Gaza Strip, on July 22.
Imagine this… your hate for jews is so big
You buy a planeticket from canada to Israel, you hire a rental car for two weeks and on your second day there
You are so dumb as to attack armed israeli’s over the gaza war
The scene this morning at Netiv HaAsara. You wont be… pic.twitter.com/b209uda453

It’s nice that our outreach extends to training their terrorists.
Fortifications go up in town where thousands protested against plans to house 600 lone male asylum seekers in army camp
Workers have begun converting an army barracks into accommodation for 600 male asylum seekers – despite furious opposition from locals in the small town next door.
Residents are in revolt over the plans for Crowborough Army Training Camp in East Sussex, with 2,000 people flooding the streets for a noisy protest yesterday.
But work has started to prepare the site, with a secondary security fence and residential huts erected, communal bins installed and high-speed fibre cabling laid out.
Crowborough has a population of about 22,000. The turnout at the demonstration, in that context, looks very impressive. They are protesting at an army camp housing 600 illegal migrants.
