Two videos have gone viral on X showing FBI agents visiting people’s houses to ask questions about offensive social media posts.
The first clip shows three people who claim to be FBI agents visiting a woman called Rolla Abdeljawad at her home in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The woman asks them to identify themselves, but they refuse to do so while being filmed, before claiming they had already shown the woman their IDs.

OTTAWA – Quebec MP Anthony Housefather remains undecided on his future more than a week after a House of Commons motion on Israel and Gaza left him questioning whether he will remain in the Liberal party.
And Prime Minister Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t saying if he has even been talking to Housefather to try and keep him in the fold.
Trudeau dodged the question today, saying only that he has spoken to Housefather many times over the years and that he is proud to head a caucus where multiple viewpoints are heard and reflected.
A California Democrat wants to tax sales of gold, cotton, tobacco and other goods linked to slavery — and to divert the money to black residents, in the latest bid to turn reparations into reality.
The bill by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer is one of more than a dozen bills backed by the California Legislative Black Caucus seeking reparations for black Californians, especially the descendants of slaves.
They stem from a July 2023 report from the state Reparations Task Force, where Jones-Sawyer served as a member, and underscores efforts to turn controversial policies into a legally-binding compensation scheme.
This is in Toronto, Canada.

… Lawyer Elizabeth Kim, who only works on immigration refugee cases, said it can take anywhere from six months to two years, from the beginning of the process to a decision. She called it a “last resort” to apply, and said lawyers often look to see if other options exist.
“If your goal is to remain in Canada, the last thing you want to do is take the course of action that’s going to give you a removal order automatically issued,” Kim said.
She said there appears to be a misunderstanding that people applying for asylum would simply prefer to stay in Canada. Instead, she said it’s that they cannot return to their home.
“I personally haven’t seen a lot of meritless claims where they’re just looking to [stay in Canada]. I don’t think I’ve seen any,” Kim said.

Hundreds of schoolchildren charged through a shopping centre with some tussling with security guards, before police issued a dispersal order.
The mob of youngsters, involved in what police called “an incident of anti-social behaviour” in Milton Keynes on Thursday afternoon, was caught in video footage shared online.
A security guard can be seen grabbing a boy’s backpack and pulling him to the ground in a clip shared widely on social media.

After a year of declining poll numbers, failed resets and embarrassing scandals, Justin Trudeau’s government is now experiencing a slow-motion collapse, a kind of political “slow heat death”.
Usually, leaders who have stayed in power for nearly a decade, as Trudeau has, can look forward to leaving behind a legacy in the form of a signature policy that will endure beyond their own political lives. But the Canadian PM may not even have that, because on 1 April Canada’s federal carbon tax is set to increase, and what had been a relatively uncontroversial measure when it was introduced nearly five years ago has become nothing short of a political firestorm.
A trans woman has been helped to breastfeed her grandchild, in what is thought to be a world first.
The unidentified 50-year-old was helped to express up to 30ml of milk at a time, after a four week course of hormone treatment.
Researchers from Duke University reported the woman ‘lactated for a total of two weeks’ and was able to feed the four-month-old baby.
WARMINGTON: Brampton mayor confident road rage ‘idiots’ will soon be in cuffs
For a Brampton family it was like experiencing something out of Stephen King horror novel.
The video – posted on social media for the world to see – had the look of a scene from the Russell Crowe movie Unhinged. But this was real-life at the corner of Torbram Rd. and Sandalwood Pkwy. on Wednesday.
Thank your political representatives for destroying Canada.
Road rage in Brampton 😳

Modern songs have been dumbed down and made more repetitive than they were in the Eighties, a study has found.
The dominance of streaming platforms and the short attention span of the modern public mean musicians and producers are trying to make ever-catchier music that stops listeners from skipping to the next song.
In previous decades, the need to purchase a physical vinyl, tape or CD meant this was less of an issue, and artists could spend more time crafting intellectually stimulating music.
I don’t think 1977 was a “golden” year.

Canadian small businesses say they are suffering under the federal carbon tax program and are calling on the government to stop the tax hike planned for April 1.
“Small businesses are being crushed by rising costs on all fronts, and the upcoming April 1 carbon tax increase will only add salt to the wound,” said an email statement to The Epoch Times from Jasmin Guenette, vice president of national affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).
PM Trudeau is hiking his carbon tax up to 17¢/litre of gasoline, 21¢/litre of diesel & 15 cents/cubic metre of natural gas April 1

“Sausage Dogs to be banned in Germany,” screamed headlines in the UK this week.
Germany’s biggest-selling newspaper Bild went full circle, fascinated by the panic: “Brits Fear for the German Sausage Dog.”
The story arose from the German Kennels Association (VDH), which has launched a petition against a draft law that aims to clamp down on breeding that leads animals to suffer.

Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault says he doesn’t have the authority to investigate whether some donors were encouraged to provide campaign contributions in the 2021 election to candidates favoured by China – donations for which they allegedly received a tax credit from the federal government.
Lawyers for the public inquiry into foreign interference pressed Mr. Perrault Thursday on a report by The Globe and Mail in February, 2023 that outlined a funding scheme to help elect politicians who would be uncritical of China.
