This “racial justice advocate” gets invited to speak to white people to explain to them why they’re racist and white supremacists.
She uses the example of how white people think coming late is impolite- to show how white people are racist. pic.twitter.com/fNt1Nt0kqv

Long before he was Canada’s natural resources minister, Jonathan Wilkinson was part of the once-thriving constitutional industry in Canada.
As a negotiator for Saskatchewan’s then-premier Roy Romanow, Wilkinson had a front-row seat in the talks that led to the Charlottetown constitutional accord in the early 1990s.
So now, nearly 30 years later, watching the current Government of Saskatchewan talking about opting out of federal measures it doesn’t like — the price on carbon, for instance — Wilkinson is particularly, even personally, taken aback. His constitutional past and his natural resources present are colliding, and not in a way Wilkinson had ever expected.
The Libs have a lot more to worry about than just the premiers.

A principal in Europe: A 12-year-old boy came to me and said, ‘I hate you. We will take back the country’. They reject our culture, our values. Their hatred is unimaginable.”
Katharine Birbalsingh, known as “Britain’s strictest headteacher”, has just been forced to ban Muslim prayers at her school after teachers were attacked. This time we are in London.
The head teacher ended up in the High Court in a lawsuit brought by Muslim students at Michaela School. Birbalsingh decided to stop the prayer rituals after “violence, intimidation and appalling harassment of our teachers”.
It will happen here. Do not believe the politicians that hate you or Islam’s other useful idiots.
Elon Musk is no stranger to bold claims – from his plans to colonise Mars to his dreams of building transport links underneath our biggest cities. This week the world’s richest man said his Neuralink division had successfully implanted its first wireless brain chip into a human.
Is he right when he says this technology could – in the long term – save the human race itself?
Sticking electrodes into brain tissue is really nothing new.
Last week was a busy one in the increasingly intense struggle of sensible Canadians to slough off, cast down, and ultimately trample into threadbare fragments, incinerate, and scatter the ashes, of woke authoritarianism. On the positive side, Federal Judge Richard Mosley’s finding that there was inadequate justification for the imposition of the Emergencies Act against the trans-Canada truckers protest in February 2022, was a stirring resurrection of the official recognition of the liberties of the citizen against the capricious and heavy-handed whims of the state. The judge contradicted Appeal Court Justice Paul Rouleau’s finding in the inquiry that the Emergencies Act requires in the event of its imposition, that conditions created by the actions of the truckers justified the use of the draconian legislation. Justice Mosley wasn’t so declarative on the legality of recourse to the Emergencies Act as he was in his finding that it was unjustified: it did not meet the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service’s definition of a “threat to the security of Canada,” and the government could not just fabricate its own criteria.
The Associated Press recently made headlines by falsely claiming that the Israeli campaign against Hamas “sits among the deadliest and most destructive in recent history” and was even worse than “the Allied bombing of Germany in World War II”.
The Washington Post argued that “Israel has waged one of this century’s most destructive wars in Gaza” while The Wall Street Journal contended that it was “generating destruction comparable in scale to the most devastating urban warfare in the modern record.”
Last February, while Justin Trudeau pushed back against media investigations into Chinese election interference, citing anti-Asian racism, a brief for Trudeau’s Cabinet confirmed China’s clandestine influence in the 2019 and 2021 federal contests, and that current Members of Parliament were targeted in hostile state activity, and China leverages a “vast range of tools” to undermine “Canadian values, electoral processes, and Charter Rights.”
This definitive confirmation of Ottawa’s awareness of China’s deep attacks in recent Canadian elections comes from a newly released “Canadian Eyes Only” CSIS document called “Briefing to the Minister of Democratic Institutions on Foreign Interference.”
German police shoot aggressive ’emu’
Police in the German state of Thuringia say they shot a flightless bird after it became aggressive. Initially identified as an Australian emu, the bird appears to have been a South American wild rhea.
… The German wild population is descended from a few breeding pairs that escaped from an exotic meat farm near Lübeck, a city in northern Germany, in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
A nurse who failed to pass her probationary period in Sudbury largely because of her struggle to communicate in English has filed a labour grievance against her employer.
The Ontario Nurses’ Association filed the grievance motion on her behalf claiming that her firing was discriminatory and violated the Ontario Human Rights Code. In a recent decision, an arbitrator rejected efforts by Health Sciences North to dismiss the case on the basis of jurisdiction in a preliminary motion.
The nurse worked in Saudi Arabia and the Philippines before coming to Canada and working as a PSW for two years. She received her Canadian nursing credentials and worked in homecare in Sault Ste. Marie
I have dealt with nurses who barely speak English or speak in so heavily accented a manner it is near impossible to understand them.
The departure of the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth to lead the largest Nato exercise since the Cold War has been cancelled at the last minute after an “issue” with a propeller shaft was spotted during final checks.
The setback comes 18 months after sister ship HMS Prince of Wales broke down off the Isle of Wight after a similar malfunction with a coupling on the starboard propeller which meant she could not take part in exercises with the US Navy and a delay of nine months to operational service.
WARMINGTON: Anthem singer dons pro-Palestinian attire at NHL All-Star Game
The NHL has yet to comment on how a singer wearing pro-Palestinian colours, and with a history of anti-Israel rants, performed the American national anthem at the All-Star Game in Toronto Saturday.
But that hasn’t stopped others from commenting on how American pop star Kiana Lede used the NHL game to show her support for the Palestine side of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
Hey @NHL,
Interesting choice of singer for the #Canadian National Anthem at the 2024 #NHLAllStars game.
Was hoping that her outfit was just coincidental but it took me only 3 minutes on her #X to see that this was a political statement.
Is there not a vetting process in… pic.twitter.com/PbJAHum1JH

I wish I could boycott the NHL but I haven’t paid attention in years.
Reparations advocates had the wind in their sails last year.
Cities across the US set up teams to hash out plans to compensate black people for the legacy of slavery, taking their cue from a successful pilot in Evanston, Illinois.
The landscape in 2024 is very different.
Already some displaced families that came to Canada are living in tents. And another 90,000 people are expected in the next 60 days
What’s the plan?
Feb. 24 marks the second anniversary of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. Gen. Rick Hillier, irrepressible even in quasi-retirement, is sounding the alarm on Canada’s lack of preparedness to absorb yet more displaced Ukrainians. He’s particularly galled by stories of newcomers — at-risk families we invited to our country — living in tents in downtown Toronto.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday set out the country’s core demands for ending the war against Hamas in Gaza.
“The essential goal is, first of all, the elimination of Hamas. To achieve this goal, three things are needed,” Netanyahu told journalists ahead of the weekly Cabinet meeting at the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv.
