The federal government shouldn’t be telling K-12 teachers to monitor and discipline students for holding certain political views. But it’s part of a project the Department of Canadian Heritage paid $268,400 to do.

How You Get the Left to Talk Honestly About Black Crime
A disturbing look at the FBI’s data on race and animal-cruelty offenses.
Discussing black crime in America isn’t easy. For decades, the FBI has collected all kinds of race and crime data from state police, so we have the information. But due to a ton of negative black disparities showing up in the data, the mainstream media pursues a policy of silence on the issue, turning it as a result into a taboo topic.

‘Kind of terrifying’: Numbers show racist Great Replacement conspiracy theory has found audience in Canada
Timothy Caulfield has spent the pandemic battling bunk science and lies.
The course of COVID-19 has seen more Canadians spiral into the realm of conspiracy theories and it’s kept the misinformation expert busy.
So busy, he says, he felt he didn’t have time to really delve into one, particular conspiracy theory that was gaining traction: the racist lie that there is a co-ordinated effort to replace white people with immigrants, in what is known as the Great Replacement theory.
You know they’re running scared when ham-fisted efforts to label anyone who questions immigration policy as a “far-right” racist start turning up. The goal, plain and simple, is to stifle debate and even criminalize dissent.
Sorry Star but the jig is up. Multiculturalism and Diversity are widely and correctly viewed as toxic lies used to justify a Mass Immigration policy that is designed to sate corporate greed and buy votes for our vile political class. It sure as hell isn’t designed to benefit citizens.
Besides it’s not a conspiracy if it’s true.
Opinion: Canada replacing its population a case of wilful ignorance, greed, excess political correctness
According to University of London professor Eric Kaufmann, almost seven out of 10 Vancouver residents will be “visible minorities” within two generations and 80 per cent of the Canadian population (compared to 20 per cent today) will be non-white in less than century.
Kaufmann notes that, with its continuing high immigration intake and the fact that four out of five newcomers are visible minorities, Canada is undergoing the fastest rate of ethnic change of any country in the Western world.
Questions must be asked about why such drastic population replacement is taking place and who is benefiting from it.
While Canada has been helped by large-scale immigration at various times in its history, the current high intake causes more problems than benefits for our current population. Our economy grows because of the increasing population, but the average Canadian gets a smaller piece of the bigger pie. The cost is huge — with latest estimates indicating taxpayers have to underwrite recent arrivals to the tune of around $30 billion annually. Young people in large cities such as Vancouver and Toronto are being crowded out of the housing market by sky-high prices caused largely by the ceaseless flow of new arrivals, and the quality of life of most residents is negatively effected by increased traffic and commute times, along with congestion and pressure on the health care and education systems.

Suspected militia member with political hit list kills retired Wisconsin judge: Reports
A retired Wisconsin judge was shot and killed by a man carrying a hit list that targeted state political figures, according to a new report.
Police responded to the home of former Juneau County Judge John Roemer, who retired from the bench in 2017, around 6:30 a.m. Friday after receiving reports of two gunshots being fired. Roemer was identified as the victim who had been shot and killed, sources familiar with the incident told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
‘Empress of terror’: Fusako Shigenobu Japanese Red Army founder believed to have masterminded deadly Tel Aviv attack released after 20 years in prison
The founder of one of the most feared terrorist organisations of the 1970s has walked free from a Japanese prison after completing a 20-year sentence for the siege of the French embassy in the Netherlands.
Once described as “the empress of terror”, Fusako Shigenobu founded the Japanese Red Army, a radical leftist group that carried out armed attacks worldwide in support of the Palestinian cause.
On Saturday, 76-year-old Shigenobu left the prison in Tokyo with her daughter as several supporters held a banner saying “We love Fusako”.

Liberals shouldn’t scorn unlikely political alliances
“In the grand scheme of things, this isn’t about Putin’s attack against Ukraine… It is about democracy, sovereignty — fundamentals like freedom of speech and human rights. It is about Western democracies’ ability to stand up for themselves and the values they’re built on.”
This may sound like the words of a liberal internationalist. But they come from Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the anti-immigration, Right-wing populist party, the Sweden Democrats. In the past he has equivocated when asked whether he preferred Putin to Emmanuel Macron or Joe Biden. But four days after the onset of Russia’s invasion, speaking to Sweden’s parliament, his tone was unflinching.
Tamara Lich admits accepting award is related to Freedom Convoy in fiery day in court
Tamara Lich admitted in court Thursday that accepting an award for organizing the Freedom Convoy “is related” to the convoy, but testified she doesn’t believe she violated a bail condition not to support anything related to the protest that occupied some downtown Ottawa streets for weeks.
She made the comments on the first day of her second bail review in Ottawa’s Superior Court, a proceeding peppered with tense, dramatic exchanges between Crown prosecutor Moiz Karimjee and Justice Kevin Phillips.
No Data Supports Threat of ‘White Supremacists’
Joe Biden will use the blood of innocents to paint millions of Americans as “white supremacists” and wannabe terrorists simply for supporting the opposite political party.
Joe Biden will travel to Buffalo on Tuesday, ostensibly to join the upstate New York community in mourning the murders of 10 people at a local grocery store over the weekend. It is, of course, appropriate for Biden in his role as president to grieve with Americans devastated by such a brutal massacre of innocents, especially an attack that from all accounts was racially motivated.
What’s not appropriate is for Biden to use the atrocity as a platform to fuel even more hatred and division in a country ripping apart at the seams in so many ways—but that’s exactly what he will do. The man who launched his 2020 campaign for president touting the lie that Donald Trump commended “very fine” white supremacists after a 2017 protest in Charlottesville can be expected to promote another lie; violent white supremacists and domestic extremists pose a heightened threat to the country.
Threat of violent extremism increasing due to misinformation reports Liberal Party broadcaster that spread blatant lies about Freedom Convoy
Threat of violent extremism rising in Canada, MPs told.
The threat of violent extremism has increased in Canada during the pandemic — fuelled by misinformation and resulting in threats to politicians and public servants — top security and policing officials told members of Parliament on Thursday.
But while police and intelligence agencies are taking steps to detect extremists and prevent them from carrying out attacks, the government must also work proactively to counter the extremism in the first place, they added.

Related – Democrats warn potential Trump return to Twitter could foment more violence
Democrats on Capitol Hill are sounding alarms this week over the possibility that Donald Trump could return to Twitter, warning that providing the former president with such a powerful megaphone could lead to violence on par with last year’s Capitol riot.
Trump was banned “permanently” from Twitter on Jan. 8, 2021, just two days after a mob of his supporters attacked the Capitol in a failed effort to overturn President Biden’s election win.
Get ready for another ‘summer of love’
In 2020, we watched as rioters destroyed buildings and lives throughout our cities in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Get ready for another summer of riots and destruction. The White House has legitimized such behavior by calling MAGA Republicans the most extreme in our history.
The leaked working opinion authored by Justice Alito concerning overturning Roe v. Wade has provided the necessary unifying principle for the radical left. Sen. Warren (D-Mass.) helped light the fuse outside the Supreme Court Building by inciting the crowd when she told them, “We won’t go back.” In the past, Sen. Schumer (D-N.Y.) threatened justices on the steps of the Court in 2020: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Rules For Conservative Radicals
After progressive activists pushed Disney to speak out against Florida’s new education law, conservatives turned new ire on the Mouse. Of course, conservatives irate at a company that declares itself against them is nothing new; what was new this time around was the fact that somebody with power did something about it, and inflicted an actual material loss on Disney.

One quarter of Canadians believe online conspiracy theories, expert tells MPs
A quarter of Canadians believe in online conspiracy theories, an expert on radicalization and terrorism told a parliamentary committee Thursday.
David Morin, a professor at the Université de Sherbrooke, said a poll conducted for an upcoming report he is preparing for the Quebec government found that 9 to 10 per cent of Canadians strongly believe in conspiracy theories, while another 15 per cent moderately believe them.
Morin told members of the public safety and national security committee that some of those who believe conspiracy theories — “but not all” — have “a sympathy towards violence.”

You’re (un)invited: ‘Unwelcoming Party’ planned in response to ‘Rolling Thunder’ rally
Still reeling from the weeks-long “Freedom Convoy” occupation that brought the city’s downtown core to a standstill earlier this year, anxious Ottawa residents say they want participants of this coming weekend’s biker rally to know they are not welcome in the community.
OMG they’re still “reeling”, I will vote for the politician who announces plans to nuke Ottawa.

The world has plunged into a deep, enduring energy crisis that may threaten the economy for years to come
For too long, the oil and gas industry has been vilified by those ignorant to its critical role in supplying a product absolutely essential to our way of life. Having endured an eight-year bear market that witnessed several price collapses due first to the rise of shale hyper growth in the United States, and then to a pandemic-induced demand shock of epic proportions, the willingness of industry to make risky, long-dated investment in new productive capacity has plummeted.
