A pretty dramatic story out of Baltimore today which reveals what may be the first hate hoax perpetrated with the help of artificial intelligence. The principal of Pikesville High School, Eric Eiswert, was accused in January of making blatantly racist comments behind closed doors after an inflammatory audio file was posted on a popular Instagram account.
Dox a doc a day.
As anti-Israel — often anti-Jew — protests violently roil campuses across America, a different campaign dripping with malevolence is specifically targeting Jewish physicians right here in Ontario.
There’s no fig-leaf of divestment from Israel, no camouflage exploiting the horrors experienced by civilians in Gaza. Rather, the doxing has been a directed, co-ordinated crusade aimed at physicians whose only “offence’’ is their Jewishness.
It is unfortunate but not much can be done about it as that poisonous plant is now too deeply rooted to eradicate.
You may succeed in slowing its growth but inevitably it will win out.
If you supported Muslim immigration please kill yourself. You owe us that.

Sadiq Khan has apologised to the chief rabbi for suggesting that Jewish leaders only criticised his call for a ceasefire in Gaza due to his Muslim-sounding name.
The mayor of London called for a ceasefire early in the conflict in Israel and Gaza, but was criticised by Sir Ephraim Mirvis, who said in November that Khan’s call was “irresponsible” and that a ceasefire would be “a stepping stone to yet more Hamas brutality”.
Israel and the United States have agreed on the need to defeat Hamas, including in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, officials from both countries said after a meeting of the Strategic Consultative Group in early April.
As part of that virtual meeting, the US expressed its concerns with various courses of action in Rafah while Israel “agreed to take these concerns into account,” according to a statement released by the White House.
Between the lines, however, the meeting highlighted that militarily, Hamas has not been defeated in Gaza despite more than six months of war. It remains unclear how long Hamas could be able to fight against the Israeli military.
The RCMP’s federal wing is at a “critical juncture” and its ability to police key files like foreign interference, terrorism and financial crime is on the line, says a recent report from the Mounties’ independent advisory board.
After studying the sustainability of federal policing for more than a year, a task force set up by the external Management Advisory Board drafted a report that says the RCMP must change to survive — and the federal government needs to step up to protect Canadians’ safety.
George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.
The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.
Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.
Canadian food banks are on the brink: ‘This is not a sustainable situation’
Food banks in Canada are being pushed to the brink with high demand and donations not keeping pace. Experts say it’s unsustainable.
The last four years have been financially tumultuous for Canadians. A global pandemic and rampant inflation have led to high grocery prices, with more and more people finding themselves unable to afford the basics.
But what happens when donations to help are not keeping up with demand?
18-year-old Noga Weiss, who was held hostage by Hamas for 50 days, recounted the story of her captivity and how a terrorist wanted her to marry him and raise her children.
“Their moods would always change,” she told Channel 12 about the terrorists who guarded the hostages. “Sometimes they would play cards and joke with us, but then someone would say something they didn’t like, and one suddenly would leave the room and come back with a pistol.”

The latest faux scandal du jour that has media pundits and Liberal members breathlessly raising alarm bells has to do with Pierre Poilievre’s recent visit to an encampment of people protesting against the federal carbon tax on the border between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Protests sprung up around the country on April 1 as the tax increased, and many encampments of protesters in RVs have remained in place since. The encampments may be unpleasing to the eye and surely contain some folks with rather strong views, but they have remained peaceful and are hardly the beginning of a national revolution.
The James Webb Space Telescope is set to turn its gaze towards a distant planet in another solar system on Friday to investigate one of the most tantalising hints of alien life ever discovered.
Below the constellation of Leo, too faint for the naked eye, is the red dwarf star K2-18, about half the size of our sun. In orbit around it is a planet called K2-18b, believed to be an ocean-covered world about 2.6 times the radius of Earth.
Hidden in its atmosphere, scientists have spotted signs of something that could ultimately show that the Earth is not alone in being home to life.
It is the great moral disorder of our time.
Dear Israel is but a spit of earth on a huge globe. Three years after six million Jews were put to torture, humiliation, whippings, rape, medical experiment, starvation, and vile death, was it not surely time — time for all the nations of the Earth who had reached some moral understanding of life and government — to allow Jewish people time to rest, time to mourn, time to see what and who might be left of them.
Hollywood has reacted with shock to the news that the disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein’s rape conviction has been overturned by a New York court.
The fallen movie mogul was sentenced to 23 years in 2020 for two sex crimes, a decision that a court of appeals has now called the result of an unfair trial.
Weinstein will remain imprisoned after also being convicted of rape in Los Angeles and sentenced to 16 years.
In certain urban neighbourhoods, it can seem like Tesla Model 3s, Volkswagen ID.4s and Chevy Bolts occupy every third driveway.
Zero-emissions vehicles accounted for nearly 11 per cent of all new motor vehicles registered last year, according to Statistics Canada – the first time they’ve topped one in 10. That’s more than double the 5-per-cent sales threshold after which some experts believe consumer preferences shift and mass-adoption ensues
Charging a single EV draws as much energy as two average households combined, according to Toronto Hydro. Many observers have warned that rapid EV adoption will cause demand for electricity to surge.
Police were forced to remove two pro-Palestine protesters from the Oxford Union on Thursday after they hijacked a speech by Nancy Pelosi, the former US speaker of the House.
The pair of students waved Palestinian flags as they disrupted her address at the debating society shortly after 6pm.
The protesters were swiftly removed by Thames Valley Police and escorted out as the crowd inside the chamber applauded.

Unbelievable …
🤡 Former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims without any evidence that the pro-Palestine protest movement has “a Russian tinge to it.”
“It's in Putin's interest for 'What's His Name' to win, and therefore I see some encouragement on the part of the Russians.”
Pelosi has… pic.twitter.com/brabsPZ8Pv
