I have not done a deep dive into the treatment of the January 6th prisoners, not because I don’t have opinions, but because I don’t have educated opinions regarding what is happening in Washington to these people.
Jan 6 trials has been a horrific abuse of the law.
The CBC stands to receive the largest share of the $172-million the federal Online News Act is forecast to pump into Canada’s news sector, experts say, raising fears that the new legislation will make it harder for smaller news outlets to compete with the state-funded broadcaster.
The Online News Act, also known as Bill C-18, received royal assent in June and is scheduled to go into effect in December. It is designed to force the biggest online tech giants to compensate Canadian news organizations for posting or linking to their work.
I am willing to bet this is someone’s boss. It would be precious if one day someone was like, “that’s my neighbor Allen! He’s in charge of the HOA!” pic.twitter.com/ePVIlq4EUz

In July 2018, a gunman in Toronto’s Danforth district randomly fired his U.S.-made .40-calibre Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistol at passersby, killing 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis, and wounding 13 others.
The crime gun was legally purchased from a Saskatchewan retailer and was later stolen. Police chiefs responded to the Danforth tragedy by reporting that gun crimes committed with lawfully purchased imported guns were on the rise across the country. (Canada makes few guns.)
It might come as a surprise that Canada, and not a conflict region, is the biggest per capita buyer of imported U.S. guns.
OMG! There are legal gun owners in Canada and they have “Assault Pistols.”

Communist regimes always kill, but communist China has achieved a truly insane level of butchery
One could fill a library with books about the manifold suffering and death caused by communism’s bloody century. The section on the murder and mayhem visited by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on the Chinese people would require an entire wing.
“The Black Book of Communism,” published in 1999 by Harvard University Press, ably summarizes the overall carnage. The editor, Stephane Courtois, estimated that the total death toll from 20th-century communism approached 100 million. And China tops the list with 65 million deaths.
Ordinary people have had enough of institutions collaborating with tech companies to censor the disfavored for the ‘public good.’
“… Ironically, the early beneficiaries of the campaign were the real antisemites the ADL is supposed to be fighting, as well as Mr. Greenblatt himself. The haters opportunistically pointed to the ADL’s bad behavior.
Predictably such haters used it to advance their narrative that all Jews are nefarious actors engaged in an international plot to control the press. Mr. Greenblatt then pointed to these antisemites’ threads and suggested that the world needed more ADL-style speech monitoring to defeat all forms of “hate.”
Yet as the campaign grew, it became clear that most of the posts were not authored by antisemites. They were written by ordinary people who have had enough of institutions collaborating with tech companies to censor the disfavored for the “public good,” while only concerning themselves with one half of the public.”
Greenblatt is Al Sharpton with worse hair. Good piece, a brief but compelling argument calling for the Jewish community to disown the ADL.
New documentation shows that Catholic institutions in Rome gave shelter to thousands of Jews fleeing the Nazis, a Thursday statement said.
The statement was issued jointly by the Pontifical Biblica Institute in Rome, Rome’s Jewish Community and Israel’s official Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem.
Researchers from the three institutions presented the findings at a conference held at the Museum of the Shoah, which is near the Great Synagogue of Rome.
That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday for raping two women.
The decision came after a Los Angeles jury found Masterson, 47, guilty of two of three counts of forcible rape during a retrial in May.
What brought the presidents of Turkey and Russia into an alliance with no name? Their geo-political opportunism was part of it, but mainly it was the inherent ideological hatred of Western civilization that eventually made the Turkish president a useful instrument in the Russian president’s reckless campaign to harm the interests of the West.

For months, the left-wing media have been lying outright to their audiences about the status of President Biden’s corruption scandal. Despite heaps of documents, damning statements from multiple witnesses, and sworn testimony from whistleblowers, journalists are still claiming with alarming frequency that there is “no evidence” Biden was involved in an influence-peddling scheme as Vice President.
Josh Alexander, the Christian teen whose views on gender got him arrested by his Catholic school, has been fighting for months to get back into class.
Fortunately, the 17-year-old has just won a court battle that allows him to appeal his expulsion from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, Ont.
Gary Wright, the spiritually minded singer-songwriter who helped modernize the sound of pop music with his pioneering use of synthesizers while crafting infectious and seemingly inescapable hits of the 1970s, notably “Dream Weaver” and “Love Is Alive,” died on Monday at his home in Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. He was 80.
Who doesn’t remember this tune.
Conservative party members will assemble in Quebec City starting Thursday for a three-day policy convention — a chance to craft a playbook to woo voters who are showing signs of fatigue with the governing Liberals.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has seen his fortunes improve over the summer months with the party registering higher support in public opinion polls — figures that suggest the party could form a majority government if the next election were held any time soon.
Poilievre is laser-focused on affordability, inflation and the government’s perceived failings but some party members have other issues on their mind.
