Trudeau’s “refugees” likely to make up 50% of Toronto’s homeless shelter population by year end

Council debates Toronto’s financial future as Chow presses for refugee shelter help

Refugee claimants could account for half of Toronto’s homeless shelter population by the end of the year, according to a new staff report, a situation Mayor Olivia Chow called “desperate” as she pressed the federal government for immediate support.

The city manager’s report was put before councillors Wednesday at a special meeting where they were set to discuss how to manage Toronto’s beleaguered financial outlook, with the city set to open its 2024 budget discussions with a $1.5 billion shortfall.


More Chow… ‘All options are on the table’ to raise city revenues, Chow says

ADL CEO Bristles After CNBC Host Asks If He Was Shaking Down Twitter For Donations

Has the face he deserves.

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt bristled Wednesday on CNBC when asked whether he was shaking down Twitter for donations.

Twitter owner Elon Musk said Monday that he was considering suing the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) — for, ironically, defamation — after Greenblatt met with Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino on Aug. 29 to discuss “hate” on the platform. The ADL has denounced Musk’s leadership of Twitter — now known as X — arguing that Musk allows antisemitic groups to “organize and share propaganda” on the platform.

There Is No Secret, Better, Energetic Biden Behind the Scenes

I don’t want to pooh-pooh Franklin Foer’s new book, The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future, until I’ve read it. But let’s just say I’m not surprised that books about Joe Biden aren’t selling well. Biden has been a well-known figure on the political scene since the 1980s. Never mind his nearly four decades in the Senate; a child born when Barack Obama picked Biden to be his running mate in 2008 is now old enough to be on the verge of getting his learner’s permit in most states.

The Democrats in capitol buildings across the country really hate the black family.

Only Fat Dumb Criminals Can Make the Air Force ‘Diverse’

Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Q. Brown Jr, Biden’s nominee to replace Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had signed off on a memo to impose a 43% quota for white male officers in the Air Force. That would be catastrophic at a time when the Air Force is struggling with recruitment, faces a shortage of over 1,000 pilots and 86% of its pilots are white men.

Tories Fail To Stop Police from Investigating Nonsense ‘Hate Crimes’

A 73-year-old woman has been questioned at her home by English police because she took a picture of a sticker. This was months after the Conservative government said it was “deeply concerned about reports of the police wrongly getting involved in lawful debate in this country”—a message that has been clearly ignored.

The pensioner, who worked as a social worker before retiring, took a picture of a sticker reading “Keep males out of women-only spaces,” according to The Daily Telegraph. The sticker had been affixed to a pro-transgender poster branding the slogan: “Stand by your trans.”

The lack of Indigenous mass graves in Canada

In May 2021, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that the remains of 215 children had been found buried at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. The Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation band had confirmed the story, they claimed, quoting Chief Rosanne Casimir. “To our knowledge, these missing children are undocumented deaths,” she said. “Some were as young as three years old. We sought out a way to confirm that knowing out of deepest respect and love for those lost children and their families, understanding that Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc is the final resting place of these children.”

I’ve been speaking out against ADL since before it was cool to speak out against ADL

“Now everyone is talking about ADL. But I’ve been speaking out against ADL for years, frustrated how ADL took a good purpose – fighting antisemitism – and weaponized it for leftist political purposes under Jonathan Greenblatt. It will be interesting to see where the ADL-Twitter (X) dustup goes. But one thing is beyond doubt, Greenblatt needs to go.”

The ADL is a leftist hate group beyond redemption.
