An Oneida Nation of the Thames band councillor who remains suspended while facing criminal charges is accused of defrauding a survivor of Canada’s day school system out of settlement money, according to court documents.
Middlesex OPP arrested Ursula Doxtator, 54, on Nov. 24, two months after launching an investigation into a fraud complaint, and charged her with fraud valued at more than $5,000 and trying to use a forged document.
Today it is the Israel flag 🇮🇱
Tomorrow it will be the Canadian Flag 🇨🇦
He really thinks he is such a big deal 😅 https://t.co/OYGsTplM3D

In many ways, it is incredible they got away with it for so long. For the past decade or so, mainstream politicians across Europe have stopped promising to improve their voters’ living standards. Instead, they have boasted about their plans to limit them. They have extolled the virtues of a higher cost of living, deindustrialisation and restrictions on personal freedoms. And they expected most people wouldn’t mind or perhaps even notice – because all this was to be done in the name of ‘saving the planet’ from climate change. But in 2023, that elite green consensus came crashing down to Earth.
In American news, the name Donald Trump is everywhere these days as his opponents seek to have him removed from the ballot. Two states — Colorado and Maine — have already ruled Trump ineligible for election, and there are decisions pending in 15 other states on Trump’s ballot eligibility.
Terrorists teach Gazan kids how to shoot guns, launch anti-tank missiles and stage suicide attacks against Israel at summer camps – after indoctrinating them with anti-Semitic Mickey Mouse knock-off
In my last column of the year, I consigned 2023 to the trash can of history with a gloomy declaration that things are bad and getting worse, and a wish for a Happy New Year where Canadians start demanding better policy instead of watching our politicians drift into disaster. And I kick off 2024 by calling my own bluff about admitting we’re in trouble, then making “a New Year’s list of resolutions… that contains five key policy areas and the things you won’t tolerate politicians doing and those you really want them to do,” with my five areas being national defence, finances, the economy, health care, and regulation.
Universities offered students in the U.S. the opportunity to enroll in many courses that push gender ideology and left-wing activism during the 2023-2024 school year.
Princeton University offered a class titled “Black + Queer in Leather: Black Leather/BDSM Material Culture” in the Spring 2023 semester, according to the university’s course catalog. The class will survey black BDSM culture via research available in libraries and individuals involved in the groups that participate in the culture.
Since former University of Pennsylvania male swimmer Lia Thomas stole a title and trophy from then-University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Championships, the fairness-in-women’s-sports issue has roiled American politics.
It’s been two years of lobbying by advocacy groups and activists such as Gaines to protect women’s sports from male intrusion. More than 20 Republican states have passed laws prohibiting males from competing on K–12 and collegiate female teams. But overshadowing these strides is a convoluted mess of court rulings, federal statutes and regulations, and policies adopted by the various athletics governing bodies.
According to him, much of the backlash emerged from the stereotype that “Black people can’t manage money.”
Ibram X. Kendi was at the top of the world in 2020. He had become the leading evangelist for the idea that Americans should strive for racial equity by active discrimination in favor of African Americans. He stated this idea quite clearly in his 2019 book How to Be an Antiracist: “The only remedy to racist discrimination,” he said, “is antiracist discrimination.” As the movement of racial reckoning swept the country following the death of George Floyd, corporate America and higher education treated Kendi’s approach to race as dogma. How to Be an Antiracist rocketed to the top of the New York Times bestseller list and became required reading in schools, universities, and workplaces across the United States.
These low-probability events could have major global implications
A “black swan” is a very unlikely but highly consequential surprise event. By their very nature, black swans can’t be predicted in advance, though they tend to be rationalised later with the gift of hindsight. “Grey swans”, however, are different: though they probably won’t happen, they could plausibly — and foreseeably — change the course of events.
How to sum up 2023? Pondering the year gone by, I’m aware of having frequently experienced a sense that America, and to some extent the world, was approaching a day of reckoning – a sense that events on a wide variety of fronts were advancing toward a decisive climax of a yet indeterminate nature. Another way to put this is to say that it was the year in which the enemies of freedom began to practice their perfidy with unprecedented aggressiveness and to purvey their preposterous narrative with a new degree of reckless abandon – even as that perfidy became more transparent to the average American citizen and the narrative seemed to take significant steps toward collapsing.
Long-standing tensions over immigration have erupted on to the streets over the past year.
Back in February, protests over the housing of asylum seekers at a hotel in Knowsley, north-west England, turned violent as masked thugs clashed with the police. Nine months later, we saw even more explosive scenes across the Irish Sea in Dublin, as protests over Ireland’s asylum policies turned into a full-scale riot.
Under a veil of benevolence, the Great Reset engineered by the World Economic Forum (WEF), aims to shift wealth from individuals and small businesses to global organizations controlled by the elite. As part of this agenda, a revamping of the financial system has been underway for – believe it or not – over half a century, says David Rogers Webb in his recent book The Great Taking and its accompanying documentary.
Webb’s research and insights demonstrate that the WEF’s dubious catchphrase You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy already has risky implications for investments in securities, mutual funds, pension funds, and the like. Investors, he shows, are no longer ‘owners’ of securities; they are only ‘unsecured creditors.’ Besides, investments are vulnerable to the vagaries of the opaque derivatives market. If the system collapses – he says this is inevitable – investors will not only lose money, they will receive no compensation.
When Bobby Kennedy talked about writing this book a couple of years ago, I asked him, why? Mindful of how the truth about everything COVID (and much else) was being memory-holed, he said he wanted to create an accurate historical record of what happened, for the future.
I thought that was a good answer. We desperately need a clear, accurate understanding about many things that have been taking place over the past few years, or should I say decades, and we all need to be saving hard copies or pdfs on hard drives of the important bits of history that we dig up.
“Stalin centres” are popping up across Russia as Vladimir Putin tries to rehabilitate the reputation of the Soviet dictator.
The centres are being built in Russia’s biggest cities to reposition Joseph Stalin as “a great man of history” and boost support for Putin’s war in Ukraine.
In mid-December, at the opening of Russia’s second Stalin Centre in the city of Barnaul in Altai, Sergei Matasov, the regional Communist Party leader, credited Stalin with modernising the world during his 1924-53 rule over the Soviet Union.
