Canada’s spy agency says that the Chinese police stations on Canadian soil are part of a network to track down high-level targets overseas and suppress dissent, according to recently released records.
The document, which was obtained by La Presse through the access to information regime and reported on Aug. 21, says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) believes the stations are but one element the Chinese regime uses to conduct foreign interference.
Imagine if the Mayor of London was a Tory and his website featured an image of a black family alongside the words: ‘Doesn’t represent real Londoners.’ Imagine if this right-leaning mayor had weird rules on ‘branding’, one of which was that images of young black families should not be used in mayor-related publicity because these people, with their dark skin, are not reflective of ‘our’ vision of London.
There would be uproar, possibly protests, and rightly so. It would be utterly unacceptable, vile actually, to racialise Londoners in this way; to treat black families as so morally lesser than white ones that they should never be shown in official PR bumpf. Being a Londonder has nothing to do with race. If you live here and work here and bring up your children here, you’re a Londonder.

A top-up to the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit (COHB) will help around 1,350 people find housing and relieve pressure on Toronto’s shelter system, officials say.

“These additional housing benefits will prioritize asylum seekers in addition to other people experiencing homelessness,” the City said.

Across North America, the pendulum on crime has swung decisively towards law and order, and politicians who are failing to adapt to this new reality are reaping the consequences.
Not too long ago, things were very different. In the late 2010s, progressive cities throughout North America were embracing policies that were designed to reduce the number of people held in prison.

When I walked into the diner my source was already there, sitting in a booth. It was late summer of 2001 and, earlier that year, I had started writing articles for The New York Times about the growing abuse of a then little-known painkiller, OxyContin. Its maker, Purdue Pharma, was promoting the powerful narcotic to doctors as a “wonder” drug that was far safer from abuse and addiction than other pain pills.
I did watch the Netflix movie, it’s good.
In a just world the death chamber would be made ready but the money this family made on the graves of hundreds of thousands of victims bought their immunity.
The reality-TV star’s story is a terrible indictment of so-called gender-affirming care.
In 2003, Jeanette Jennings, a mother from Florida, noticed that her son, who was three years old, kept opening up his onesie. To most parents, this might not have seemed like a big deal, but Jennings became convinced that her son, Jaron, was trying to make his onesie into a dress. So began what would become the rollercoaster career of an icon of the trans lobby and a teenage darling of America’s liberal media.
Russian journalist Elena Kostyuchenko was most likely poisoned in Munich in October 2022. That is the conclusion of a joint investigation carried out by Latvia-based Russian publication The Insider and the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, reports Novaya Gazeta, a Russian opposition newspaper that moved its offices to Latvia last year following a crackdown by Russian authorities.
Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of the Hezbollah terror group, recently threatened to send Israel back “to the Stone Age” if it goes to war with Lebanon — meaning defend itself against an Iranian-Lebanese attack:
“Today, I can present evidence, when I say to the [Israeli] enemy: You, too, will return to the Stone Age. The civilian airports, the military airports, the Air Force bases, the power plants and electricity distribution grid, the water plants, the main communication centers, various infrastructure – there is no need to go into detail. The oil, petrol, and ammonium nitrate plants. You can also add Dimona [nuclear] plant. All of these are located in a small territory [Israel]. If the fighting expands to the entire resistance axis, nothing will be left of Israel.”
Seems the “nothingburger,” as the progressive press likes to call the Hunter Biden saga, is turning into a Whopper.
The latest: Hunter’s lawyers threatened to put President Biden on the stand if Hunter were to be charged.
“President Biden now unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial,” lawyer Chris Clark wrote in a 32-page letter obtained by Politico.
“I really, really want to thank Canadians for having been so incredibly gracious and incredibly generous in respecting our privacy and our space,” Trudeau said during a media availability in P.E.I. ahead of a three-day cabinet retreat. It was his first public statement on the separation since it was announced.
“I got a really good 10 days with the family to focus on the kids, to focus on being together and moving forward.”
A federal judge has ruled that art that was wholly created by artificial intelligence technology is not protected by copyright law — a decision that could have far-reaching implications for Hollywood as studios continue to adopt AI as a creative tool.
