U.S. offers Israel intelligence, supplies in effort to avoid Rafah invasion

The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels, according to four people familiar with the U.S. offers.

I don’t think this will endear Biden to the college crowd.

RCMP boss expresses desire for new law to deal with threats against politicians

OTTAWA – RCMP commissioner Mike Duheme says he wants the government to look at drafting a new law that would make it easier for police to pursue charges against people who threaten elected officials.

The Mounties are seeing an increase in invective directed at politicians, including comments from the same individuals on multiple occasions, Duheme said in an interview.

However, often the behaviour does not meet the Criminal Code threshold for laying a charge of uttering threats.

This clown needs to go.

Greta should pipe down about Palestine

Kudos to Greta Thunberg who, at just 21 years old, has apparently become an expert not only on the environment, but also on the Middle East’s most intractable conflict. It seems the pint-sized activist has taken a break from carping about climate change to protest instead about Palestine.

Harry and Meghan’s Nigeria tour is nothing but PR fodder

Prince Harry’s visit to London this week, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus games, was largely overshadowed by the news that his father was ‘too busy’ to see his errant younger son. This may have been despite or perhaps because of the King’s more active public profile thanks to his positive response to his cancer treatment.

Why would they visit a country where Christians are routinely slaughtered?

Judge grants B.C. woman order for over $100K in child support

The last time E.S. spoke with G.W., she was told never to contact him again.

E.S. was pregnant with a child she claimed was G.W.’s, the fruit of a fling between the British Columbian woman and the man from the U.K. According to court documents, which only refer to the pair by their initials, he was initially supportive — but that soon changed.

“I understand that this is difficult for you but please don’t do this. It will ruin my life. Ruin my relationship with the woman I love,” G.W. wrote via Facebook Messenger.
