Dress code offenders feel wrath of Ottawa Police
‘Aggressive’ Ottawa police response to high school dress code protest draws criticism
Ottawa police are being criticized for their response to a student protest outside a Catholic high school over a dress code “blitz,” particularly in contrast to how they responded to the “Freedom Convoy” blockade earlier this year.
Students held a large protest outside Béatrice-Desloges Catholic High School in Orléans during lunch break Friday, a day after students say teachers called several female students out of class for alleged violations of the school dress code.
Beats me.
Liberal Media Desperate: Revive Kim Campbell To Critique CPC … Next Up Robert Stanfield
From Poilievre’s banking pledges to absent climate talk, former PM Campbell questions direction of Conservative Party
Amid discussions about the battle for the soul of the Conservative Party, former Prime Minister Kim Campbell says without leadership on policies such as climate change, the party’s identity will remain in question.
“I’m sorry, if you’re not worried about climate change, and you’re not worried about resurgent authoritarianism, and you’re not a champion of the rights of women to make the contributions they need to make in society, I’m not interested,” she said in an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday.
This is really aimed at Poilievre. I don’t think he’s going to be the savior of the Conservative party but no question his popularity strikes the LPC media as dangerous. Kim sounds like the Liberal Harpy she always was, just a bit more shrill.
The demolition of Kharkiv
‘Welcome to hell,’ a resident tells me as I arrive
“I will not talk to anyone who calls this war a ‘conflict’! Bye!” The angry response surprises me. I’m typing a message on Facebook chat while I dash through a street in Odessa, buying last minute supplies for my trip to Ukraine’s second city, Kharkiv. A mutual friend has told me to get in touch with a contact she knows there. “Hi, Nataliya,” I type. “I’m interested in covering the work you’re doing documenting Russian war crimes in this conflict.”
Feds and media ignoring doubling of mortality among young and middle-aged adults in latest data
Something is killing off large numbers of 25- to 54-year-olds in the United States, and the powers that be in government and the media are pretending it is not happening. There is no visible effort to study the alarming statistics gathered by actuaries for the life insurance industry, which keeps track of deaths because they directly impact their bottom line through claims from the insured.
Canada’s top court says voluntary extreme intoxication a defence in violent crimes
The Supreme Court of Canada issued a major decision on Friday allowing criminal defendants in cases involving assault — including sexual assault — to use a defence known as self-induced extreme intoxication.
Effectively, it means defendants who voluntarily consume intoxicating substances and then assault or interfere with the bodily integrity of another person can avoid conviction if they can prove they were too intoxicated to control their actions.

‘Anger that I haven’t seen before’: Singh harassment incident puts renewed spotlight on politicians’ security
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s recent encounter with protesters at an Ontario election campaign stop, where he was verbally harassed, is casting a renewed spotlight on politicians’ security, with Singh telling CTV News that he’s witnessing a level of anger he hasn’t seen before.
“What I’m noticing is true is that there is more of a polarization and an aggression and an anger that I haven’t seen before,” he said while visiting a pro-choice counter protest to the March for Life demonstrations on Parliament Hill on Thursday.
Singh received a barrage of insults earlier in the week as he exited a rally for Ontario NDP candidate Jen Deck, who’s running in the Peterborough – Kawartha riding.
Politicians verbally assaulted in Public! Why it’s an insurrection! Jail the peasantry!
Reap what you sow commie.
Calling men ‘bald’ at work now considered sexual harassment in the UK
Insulting a man for being bald in the workplace amounts to sex harassment in the UK, a panel of balding judges have ruled, according to a report Thursday.
Hair loss is far more common among men than women, so using the term is “inherently related to sex” — and equivalent to commenting on the size of a woman’s breasts, the employment tribunal said, according to the UK Telegraph.
Nigerian student beaten, burned to death over ‘blasphemous’ text messages
KANO, Nigeria, May 12 (Reuters) – A female Nigerian student was beaten to death and set on fire by fellow students who accused her of posting “blasphemous” statements in a student Whatsapp group, two witnesses said.
The school, located in Nigeria’s northwesternmost state of Sokoto, was immediately closed down following the attack. Nigeria is divided into a largely Christian south and mostly Muslim north. Incidents such as this are very rare.

Nina Jankowicz says verified Twitter users should ‘edit’ others’ tweets
The “disinformation expert” tapped by President Biden to head a new US agency division that critics have likened to an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth” says that “verified” Twitter users should be able to edit other users’ tweets if they believe they are misleading.
I Criticized BLM. Then I Was Fired.
The data about police shootings just didn’t add up, but no one at Thomson Reuters wanted to hear it.
Until recently, I was a director of data science at Thomson Reuters, one of the biggest news organizations in the world. It was my job, among other things, to sift through reams of numbers and figure out what they meant.
About a year ago, I stumbled on a really big story. It was about black Americans being gunned down across the country and the ways in which we report on that violence. We had been talking nonstop about race and police brutality, and I thought: This is a story that could save lives. This is a story that has to be told.
But when I shared the story with my coworkers, my boss chastised me, telling me expressing this opinion could limit my ability to take on leadership roles within the company. Then I was maligned by my colleagues. And then I was fired.
This is the story Reuters didn’t want to tell.
