Coming this fall … Undercover Catcall Cops

Undercover police officers have posed as joggers in a bid to catch cat-callers.

Surrey Police sent two undercover officers out jogging at rush hour, to show the level of catcalling female joggers received.

“These behaviours may not be criminal offences in themselves, but they need to be addressed,” a Surrey Police spokesman said about the patrols.

The critics of Nova Scotia’s ban on accessing the woods don’t understand our culture

I realized how dry the woods are in Nova Scotia when I stopped my car by the side of the road the other day and briefly stood on the gravel shoulder. The woods smelled dry, almost smoky, like they wanted to be on fire.

It’s not how this typically soggy peninsula normally smells. But we have had less than half the normal seasonal amount of rain this summer. The last substantial rain fell on June 7. Wells are drying up. The whole province is in a state of extreme fire risk.

So when Premier Tim Houston announced on Tuesday that he was ordering the woods closed, I was glad.

Crime Pays in Modern Britain

In the UK today, it’s sometimes safer to be the criminal than the victim of crime.

Take the perplexing case of Rob Davies. In Wrexham, north Wales, the frustrated shopkeeper was told off by police for complaining about the scourge of thieves in the area. Davies, who runs a vintage clothing store, had resorted to displaying a sign in the shop window that read: “Due to scumbags shoplifting, please ask for assistance to open cabinets.” He explained to the Telegraph that, due to an increasing number of thefts, he was forced to lock away some of his goods. “Over the past year,” he said, “I have caught five people shoplifting. The first one I called the police and they handed the shirt back to me and let him go. Now I don’t bother reporting them and I have had to put locks on my cabinets.”

Doug Ford vows to ‘legislate’ end to medical testing on dogs after Ontario hospital caught using beagles

Premier Doug Ford is vowing to “legislate” an end to medical tests on dogs after St. Joseph’s hospital in London was caught using beagles for heart attack research.

“I’ve now directed our team to start hunting down anyone else doing research on dogs or cats since it’s unacceptable,” Ford told reporters Tuesday in Windsor.

“I think we just legislate and ban it — there’s no reason we need to be using poor little dogs or cats or anything like that. It’s just unacceptable, it’s cruel, it’s inhumane,” he said.

My high school’s grade 13 biology class dissected cats.

Their frozen bodies were stored in open garbage cans in the courtyard with no effort to conceal them.

Climate Lockdown Conspiracy Theory Becomes Reality In 3 Canadian Provinces

Three Canadian provinces have outlawed woodland access due to concerns over wildfire risk and are now threatening massive fines or jail for Canadians who violate the lockdown and who go out into nature.

The restrictions in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland are prompting calls of warning as well as acts of civil disobedience from Canadians who view the bans as a tyrannical attempt to restrict the movements of the populace, using climate change as justification.

Israeli strike in Gaza slays Anas al-Sharif, who Israel says posed as an ‘Al Jazeera’ journalist while directing rocket attacks for Hamas

 

Dead journalist Anas al-Sharif had the bad luck to be frequently pictured with Muslim terrorists.

The Israel Defense Forces killed Anas al-Sharif, who Israel says posed as a journalist for the Qatari Al Jazeera network but was actively serving as the head of a Hamas terrorist cell.

Al-Sharif, who was slain in Gaza City on Saturday, was responsible for orchestrating and advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops, the Israeli military said.

Rachel and pals are incensed at the NATPO’s callous treatment of their Muslim terrorist hero.

Ghislaine Maxwell files will not be released despite Trump order

Ghislaine Maxwell’s grand jury transcripts will not be released, a federal judge has ruled, saying the Trump administration’s request to do so is a “diversion”.

Paul Engelmayer, a Manhattan District Court judge, suggested the Department of Justice (DOJ) had requested the transcripts be released to create the “illusion” of transparency.

The judge said the files would not reveal any new information, adding that they “do not discuss or identify any client of Epstein’s or Maxwell’s”.

WARMINGTON: Hamilton mayor’s claims of hate stomp on right to free speech

Andrea Horwath’s Hate Crime is supporting the mutilation of children.
Canada has become a place where a mayor can arbitrarily decide freedom of speech is not only “hate” but “transphobic.”

In this case, Hamilton’s mayor has “directed” that a billboard with a message discussing gender and children be immediately removed.

Andrea is a sick minded bozo.
