Newspaper has quietly pulled the plug on its police shooting database ‘Fatal Force’
The Washington Post just quietly pulled the plug on its police shooting database, “Fatal Force.” Don’t expect an apology or a reckoning. Don’t even expect an explanation. Because to acknowledge the full impact of that project would be to admit this: that for nearly a decade, the nation’s premier legacy newsroom helped manufacture and perpetuate a toxic narrative – that police officers are hunting black men in the streets with impunity.

For years, radical gender ideology appeared unstoppable. The media framed transgender identity as the next frontier of liberation. Pride Month drew enthusiastic endorsements from nearly every university, corporation, and school district. Dissenters were often marginalized, and the prevailing narrative allowed little room for debate.
No longer. Since the start of the second Trump administration, the movement has begun to retreat. The Supreme Court recently upheld a Tennessee law banning medical transition procedures for minors. Many corporations have withdrawn support for this year’s Pride events. An ideology that once seemed culturally dominant has lost significant ground in public opinion.

TDSB puts brakes on renaming three schools after Ontario’s education minister calls practice a waste of money
Toronto’s public school board is putting the brakes on renaming three schools after the education minister called it a waste of taxpayer money and even introduced legislation giving him a veto over any changes.
Earlier this year, trustees voted in favour of renaming Dundas Junior Public School, Ryerson Community School and Sir John A. Macdonald Collegiate Institute, saying they commemorate historical figures tied to “systems of oppression” — a move that sparked public outcry.
About time the Ford government took steps to halt the anti-white racists running our schools.

In May 2025, China announced a new list of renamed places in Arunachal Pradesh, India’s northeastern state that Beijing insists on calling “Zangnan.” It is the fifth such list since 2017, and not just symbolic. These cartographic aggressions of renaming places seem to be part of a long-running strategy to undermine territorial norms and chip away at international boundaries using lawfare, infrastructure and semantics (the branch of linguistics concerned with meaning).
In geopolitics, names matter. They signal claims, establish narratives and lay the groundwork for future confrontations. China’s repeated renaming of places it does not control represents not only a challenge to India, it is an affront to the principles of the rules-based international order that the US and the West designed after World War II.

One of Canada’s top constitutional lawyers gave a blunt assessment regarding his views of so-called Indigenous “land acknowledgements” that have become commonplace in all forms of Canadian society, saying they are nothing more than “hypocritical virtue signaling.”
“Aboriginal land acknowledgements are hypocritical virtue signaling by people who would never ever give away their own home for free to an Aboriginal,” Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) president John Carpay said in a recent video message.

Young Americans’ shopping spree is over.
In-store and online purchases for 18- to 24-year-olds fell 13% year-over-year between January and April, according to market research firm Circana. Spending by older groups is still on the rise but has slowed.
A combination of economic challenges is driving the decline. Young grads are having a much tougher time finding jobs. Student-loan payments are restarting for millions of borrowers. Over roughly the past year, credit-card delinquency rates have risen to their highest points since before the pandemic, and are highest for those 18 to 29, according to the New York Federal Reserve.
Tsk. Kids today. There’s always work in the coal mines for anyone that wants.

Internal emails accuse NDP officials of shutting out Indigenous, racialized and marginalized members
OTTAWA—Top party officials of the federal NDP face accusations of undermining Indigenous, racialized and other marginalized party members, internal emails show, as the New Democrats struggle to rebuild after a crushing election defeat.
The emails, penned by two of the NDP’s federal council members and Winnipeg Centre MP Leah Gazan, paint a picture of a party grappling with allegations that some within the party feel ignored by top officials at a time when the NDP is fighting for its survival.

On Tuesday, CNN published an article of debatable accuracy alleging that Saturday’s B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not as successful as President Trump and other administration officials have claimed. However, CBS’s Stephen Colbert wasn’t interested in the nuances of underground nuclear facility bomb damage assessment on The Late Show because if he was, he would not have been able to do his MC Hammer dance in response.

Young Canadians aged 30 and under are failing to make payments on their mortgages at a rate seven times higher than the rest of the population, according to the latest data from the credit agency TransUnion.
The report, which analyzed credit trends for young consumers in the first quarter of 2025, found 29-year-olds and 30-year-olds had the worst mortgage delinquency rates at 1 per cent and 1.1 per cent, respectively -nearly 10 times the average national rate of 0.12 per cent. The average delinquency rate of mortgage holders between 18 and 30 was 0.84 per cent.

Arn Anderson’s real name isn’t Arn Anderson. It’s Martin Anthony Lunde. But because he kinda-sorta looked like fellow pro wrestler Ole Anderson, he “became” an Anderson in the weird, wacky world of wrestling. (Of course, Ole Anderson wasn’t really an Anderson either: In the 1960s, Alan Robert Rogowski “became” Ole Anderson, when he was teamed with “brothers” Gene Anderson and Lars Anderson… a.k.a. Larry Heiniemi.) Out of the four Andersons, only one was authentic.

Two men sought for knifepoint carjacking in Mississauga
Investigators need help tracking down two men sought for a knifepoint carjacking in Mississauga last week.

Snow White star Rachel Zegler admits a self-inflicted backlash over her Snow White comments sent her into something of a tailspin.
The backlash, of course, was of her own creation after the mouthy 24-year-old basically (and arrogantly) trashed the original Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as sexist. If that wasn’t enough, she wished real harm on President Trump and his supporters on Election Night (she later apologized). Then she added “Free Palestine” to a Xweet announcing the release of a Snow White trailer.

Canadian residents will be asked about their sexual orientation in next year’s national census, CBC News has learned.
While Statistics Canada has asked about sexual orientation in past surveys, next year will mark the first time the question will appear on the long-form census questionnaire that will go out to 25 per cent of Canadian residents in May 2026.
The questions will not be included in the short-form census that goes out to 75 per cent of Canadian residents.
I am not seeing much difference between Carney’s Canada and Justin’s version.

An asylum seeker from Tajikistan has been allowed to stay in the UK because he would have had to shave his beard off if he was deported.
The unnamed man won an appeal after arguing that he could be tortured and have his facial hair forcibly removed if he was sent back home.
The Home Office tried to deport him back to the Central Asian state, but an asylum court has now ruled that he may be entitled to international protection in the UK because of his beard.
