Chinese woman arrested after allegedly trying to smuggle 29 turtles into Canada

A woman from China has been arrested at a Vermont lake bordering Quebec for trying to smuggle 29 eastern box turtles, a protected species, into Canada by kayak, according to Border Patrol agents.

The agents searched her heavy duffle bag and found 29 live eastern box turtles individually wrapped in socks, the affidavit states. Eastern box turtles are known to be sold on the Chinese black market for $1,000 each, according to the affidavit.

They’re like Locusts.

Harjit Sajjan failed Canada, and Canadians

It was my strategy that held back Xerxes at Thermopylae!

Harjit Sajjan, Canada’s minister of defence during the fall of Kabul in August, 2021, had a lot on his hands as the deadline for airlifting people out of Afghanistan at the end of that month rapidly approached.

His primary “duty and obligation,” as he said in a statement on Thursday, was to Canadians “and those with strong ties to Canada” – in other words, Afghans who had worked for the Canadian embassy, the armed forces or for journalists, often as translators and fixers.

The wages of identity politics and society’s balkanization.

Greece introduces ‘growth-oriented’ six-day working week

Companies in countries worldwide may be toying with the idea of implementing shorter working weeks, but in Greece employees have been told that, henceforth, they can put in a sixth day of labour in an unorthodox step aimed at turbocharging productivity.

After outpacing other Europeans in terms of economic growth, the nation once at the heart of the continent’s worst financial crisis has bucked the trend again, introducing a 48-hour working week. The measure, decried as “barbaric” by unions, takes effect from Monday.

“It makes no sense whatsoever,” said Akis Sotiropoulos an executive committee member of the civil servants’ union Adedy. “When almost every other civilised country is enacting a four-day week, Greece decides to go the other way.”

Is 13 too young to work? A Saskatchewan proposal has reignited debate around kids and labour

Look at the joy on these young faces! Coal dust is invigorating! No school just 60 hour weeks hanging out with your chums! It don’t get no better!

Saskatchewan residents are due to vote in a general election later this year and a business group in the province hopes the next government will lower the province’s “absolute minimum” working age to 13 years old.

In a set of pre-election policy recommendations, the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce highlights challenges from a “labour shortage” in the province and suggests the existing age of 14 is too high.

Now showing more anti white bullshit

A federal program launched to increase hiring of black employees has failed to deliver, according to a Treasury Board report.

Is Dolly Parton really a ‘white saviour’?

Celebrities spending their money encouraging children to read is “white saviourism” now, or so we’re told. An academic has published a dissertation criticising veteran country singer and philanthropist Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library — an international initiative that sends free, quality books to any child under 5 who requests them — for wrongthink, including depicting heterosexual parents or implying it might be good to get a job when you grow up.

Footage shows millionaire Jonathan Kaye being attacked by group hurling anti-Semitic slurs – as he turns himself in to police for punching woman during the scuffle

Dramatic new footage has revealed the moment New York investment banker Jonathan Kaye was attacked by a group of revelers hurling anti-Semitic slurs at him – for the first time since he was accused of punching a woman during the altercation last month.

Kaye, 52, the now former managing director at Moelis & Company, made headlines in early June after viral video showed him throwing a vicious punch at a female reveler at the Brooklyn Pride Parade on June 8.

The millionaire banker was reported to have resigned from his high-paying role last week after being placed on leave as his firm investigated the incident.

Kamala Harris worried Democrats will upset Blacks by choosing a White candidate instead of selecting her to replace Joe Biden

Kamala Harris’s team is concerned that Democrats will install a white candidate ahead of her to replace Joe Biden, arguing that it would be “offensive” to black voters to overlook her should the president stand aside.

Mr Biden is facing calls to step back from the race over concerns about his age, after a disastrous television debate performance against Donald Trump on Thursday.

The Biden campaign, which is a joint ticket between the US president and Ms Harris, has dismissed calls for him to step aside for a younger candidate.

GIESBRECHT: Okay to fly the flag after all, CBC decides… no apology, though!

CBC is telling Canadians to joyfully celebrate Canada Day 2024 

This stands in stark contrast to how they were telling Canadians to celebrate — or rather, how not to celebrate — Canada Day 2021. Canadians were told in 2021 that they must be ashamed of their past, and our “dark history” as evidenced by the “remains” of 215 children who had been “discovered” at Kamloops.
