Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders. That's fake news.
TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out…

Jagmeet Singh has a problem: ‘If the NDP are supporting the Liberals, I can’t support the NDP’
EDMONTON—On the surface, it was a dream canvassing scenario.
As the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh and a group of MPs and supporters knocked on doors in the highly sought-after riding of Edmonton Centre, a middle-aged man and his young adult son spotted the leader from afar and hurried across a strip mall parking lot to say hello.
… “Unfortunately, I just think the country, in the state it’s in right now, means I can’t support the Liberals,” he told the Star.
“And if the NDP are supporting the Liberals, I can’t support the NDP either.”
Ouch!
Substantiated. So very substantiated. https://t.co/xmkRgOJci7

San Francisco’s oldest toy store, which inspired the Pixar classic “Toy Story,” is permanently shutting its doors after nearly a century in business with the city’s widespread crime and violence problem playing a significant factor.

Canada Contemplates Offering Euthanasia To 12-Year Old Children
“Canada is only weeks away from legalizing assisted suicide for Canadians whose only underlying condition is mental illness. There are reports that assisted death is already being offered to Canadians who are suicidal.”
“And MAID advocates are already speaking openly about extending physician-assisted death to children as young as 12.”
Surge in medically assisted deaths under Canada’s MAID program outpaces every other country
The number of Canadians ending their lives through medically assisted death has grown at a speed that outpaces every other nation in the world.
As Canada is poised to expand eligibility criteria under medical assistance in dying (MAID) legislation, data from all 11 countries where the controversial end-of-life treatment exists shows Canada is the fastest-growing adopter in history, an analysis by the Investigative Journalism Bureau and the Toronto Star has found.
Trudeau can make people want to kill themselves.

Seattle Becomes Latest City To Shell Out Millions to BLM Protesters
Seattle on Wednesday became the latest city to give out millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter protesters who alleged they were injured by police in the summer of 2020.
The city agreed to pay $10 million after a more than three-year-long legal battle with a group of over 50 plaintiffs who said police mistreated them during the 2020 protests, which erupted in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
Canada takes no clear position on ICJ interim ruling in Gaza genocide case
Canada will continue to closely follow the case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said Friday following an interim ruling that ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza.
The ruling did not order a ceasefire. It also called on Hamas to release hostages taken in its deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel and represents a closely watched step in a legal process that could take years to fully play out.
Germany’s new rifle ‘inaccurate in battle’
The German army’s new assault rifle is not accurate enough and cannot be relied upon to work properly in battle, according to a classified report.
The Bundeswehr was forced to lower testing standards for its G95A1 after it failed to pass trials using military-standard ammunition, said the report, which was sent to the Bundestag by Germany’s national audit office.
“Current testing by the army in laboratory conditions shows that the weapon doesn’t meet army standards when loaded with combat ammunition,” said the review, which was first revealed by Der Spiegel news magazine.

How Russia is arming itself faster than Nato
Once upon a time, the Itlamas shopping mall in Izhevsk represented the arrival of the modest middle-class dream in Russia’s provinces.
Its steel and glass facade advertised H&M, McDonalds, and Destsky Mir, Russia’s most famous chain of toy shops – symbols of the social contract Vladimir Putin cut with the Russian public more than 20 years ago.
Today, both Western and Russian brands have vanished. The Italmas Mall is now the Italmas Scientific Research Centre, producing Lancet attack drones for the war in Ukraine.
WARMINGTON: Rape crisis centre supporting pro-Hamas rally another low in Toronto
Just when you thought you might have seen everything comes a Toronto rape clinic helping to organize a pro-Hamas march just months after the systemic Oct. 7 raping of women.
The Toronto Rape Crisis Centre has said nothing about the horrific sexual violence committed by Hamas.
Nothing about the rape of Israeli women being held hostage.

Trèbes Terrorist Attack, Five Years On: A Trial and a Conversion
Five years after the Islamist attacks that cost a gendarmerie officer his life, the trial against the terrorism co-conspirators opened in Paris this week.
Lieutenant-Colonel Arnaud Beltrame died at the hands of terrorists in the Islamist attacks in Trèbes and Carcassonne in March 2018 after exchanging himself for a hostage. The freed hostage explained that she had found faith through the sacrifice of Lieutenant-Colonel Beltrame.
The Liberal government must stop using tax policy as a behavioural-influence tool
The current federal government has embraced an activist approach to tax policy, using it as a social engineering tool to influence behaviour and advance the Liberals’ progressive agenda. But the downsides of this interventionist strategy to our tax system are becoming increasingly apparent.
Ottawa’s approach has resulted in confounding complexity, rising compliance and administrative burdens, and a global view that Canada is not a very welcoming place to do business. We should instead pursue tax reforms that improve our business climate and make this country a more compelling destination for investment.
Lethal Exports: Why Canada is a ‘global refuge’ for Hells Angels, other crime networks
Almost eight tonnes of methamphetamine were seized by Canadian border agents in the Pacific Region last year — nearly four times all the illicit meth seizures combined from 2018 to 2022.
Despite the record finds by the Canada Border Services Agency, no one has been charged in B.C. for any of the massive loads, which were mostly destined for Australia and New Zealand and linked to transnational organized crime.
Critics say the lack of consequences is just one of the reasons B.C. — and Canada — has become a safe place to do business for some of the biggest international criminals.
Boy, 4, allowed to join Church of England school as a girl
Ministers pledge to intervene after parents claim the child’s sex was hidden from classmates, who were traumatised to learn the truth
A Church of England primary school allowed a four-year-old boy to join as a girl, The Telegraph can reveal.
The child’s sex was hidden from classmates, who were described by parents as traumatised when they found out.
One of the parents of a child who was friends with the “trans” girl, told The Telegraph that the school has “robbed” her daughter of her childhood, as she struggled to come to terms with learning her friend is not a girl and that teachers “lied” to her about it.
White Skin Privilege
A weapon of war.
On December 26, 1969, in Flint Michigan, roughly 300 college students – almost exclusively white – gathered in a run-down dance hall called the Giant Ballroom. The ballroom was located in the heart of one of Flint’s black neighborhoods, and also one of its most violent. A bullet hole in the front door marked the spot where, the night before, a disgruntled patron had fired a shotgun into the hall inadvertently killing a black customer who was there to celebrate Christmas, and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The attendees were members or alumni of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the largest radical movement on university campuses during the 1960s. They had come to attend the last “National Council” meeting of SDS.
Portland county to dismantle DEI programme
An Oregon county including parts of Portland, Oregon, has dismantled its government’s diversity, equity and inclusion programmes.
Efforts to defund the county’s million-dollar DEI programme have taken about a year, Ben West, a member of the five-person county board of commissioners, told Fox this week.
