Sucker Creek First Nation Chief Roderick Willier remembers never feeling safe during the decade he spent at a residential school in northern Alberta.
“I always had to stay on high alert when I was there,” Willier said, as he recalled his time between the age of seven and 17 at St. Bruno’s Indian Residential School in Joussard, Alta., about 335 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
“I was always told, ‘Oh, you got to be careful of them [at residential school].”‘
A colonel has claimed he was forced to quit the Army after he was criticised for stating that “men cannot be women”.
Dr Kelvin Wright, 54, had been a Reservist commanding officer with 14 years’ unblemished service, including two tours in Afghanistan, before his “honour was attacked” with a transphobia complaint and an investigation he described as “hellish”.
Shareef Abdelhaleem, dubbed a “principal architect” of a terror plot to blow up several Greater Toronto Area landmarks in 2006, has been granted full parole as he is no longer considered an “unacceptable risk to society.”
In a decision Wednesday by the Parole Board of Canada, Abdelhaleem will no longer be under correctional supervision and only has two conditions that he must abide by: not to be in a position of responsibility or leadership in any religious or spiritual groups, and not to associate with any person known to be involved in criminal and/or radicalized activity.
Canada recently reached a milestone of 40 million people after growing by more than one million people in one year for the first time in 2022. But while we’re adding people at record levels, the same can’t be said about homes.
According to recent research, while the number of people Canada-wide has accelerated in recent years, the number of housing units completed has stagnated and even fallen to levels well below previous peaks. Specifically, from 1971 to 1980, Canada’s population grew by 283,737 people annually on average while an annual average of 226,524 housing units were completed.
“Generals always fight the last war” – Canada does not need mass immigration.
In the summer of 2020, Denver school leaders quickly banished police officers from campuses and directed the funds toward social workers and psychologists. The city, like many across the nation, was roiled by protests against law enforcement after the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.
School board members cited as a major reason reams of data showing that Black students were far more likely than white students to be arrested.
But a spasm of violence affecting Denver city schools this year has brought a sudden reversal. Armed officers were quickly deployed this spring for the final weeks of school. And come fall, school resource officers will return permanently to Denver schools, as fears over student safety have mounted.
I guess virtue signaling is less potent than lead.

If the United States Supreme Court exists for any moral purpose beyond simply interpreting the laws, it is to carry out the motto etched in stone on the courthouse itself: “Equal Justice Under Law.” That inscription was approved in 1932 by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, and its promise has been a standing challenge to the Court ever since. For most of American history, the greatest obstacle to equal justice under law has been state-sanctioned discrimination on the basis of race. Today, at long last, the Court has said to such discrimination: No more.
Some 555 days after Tijuana spilled millions of gallons of raw sewage onto San Diego’s otherwise environmentally regulated beaches, the local Board of Supervisors, which is nearly all Democrat, has up and taken notice.
2023 looks on track to be the deadliest year in Israel since 2015, under Obama, and the bloodshed is an eightfold increase in Israeli deaths since Trump’s last year in office.
The Biden administration restored Obama’s old policies and doubled down on them. And the death toll in Israel looks the way that it did under Obama. Under Biden, Israelis are dying at similar rates to the way that they did under Obama, but not at all as they did under Trump.
The creation of synthetic, human-like embryos is an awe-inspiring scientific breakthrough.
Truly groundbreaking advances in science are sadly rare occurrences. So when they happen, we should celebrate them. The announcement that scientists have successfully created synthetic embryos from stem cells is one such advance.
With all of the crazy news coming from all parts of the globe these days, it can be easy to lose sight of some of the normal, run-of-the-mill housekeeping work that Congress manages to get done from time to time. One such item was this month’s publishing of the 2024 Intelligence Authorization Act which was approved by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. The IAA is typically a fairly routine affair that provides funding and authorizes oversight for the U.S. Intelligence Community. But there were a few elements in the IAA this year that were anything but routine or run-of-the-mill, and they deal with UFOs and possibly (wait for it…) aliens.
It was bad enough that 51 of the nation’s top intelligence officials declared in Oct. 2020, at the height of the presidential campaign, that Hunter Biden’s laptop “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” But now the flagrant dishonesty of the whole affair has gotten exponentially worse, for any lingering doubt that these officials had access to adequate information when they published their assessment has been put to rest: it has now come to light that the FBI found the laptop to be authentic months before the intelligence officials told the world that it wasn’t. The last doubt that the 51 officials were brazenly lying to the American people has been removed.
Following an incident on Tuesday, June 27th that saw 17-year-old Nael M. shot dead by a policeman in Nanterre, France, after he failed to comply with an order to stop his vehicle—an incident that precipitated two nights of ultra-violent rioting in the multicultural Parisian suburb—portraits of the slain suspect and the officer have emerged.
Here is the video people!
The French police are begging “Nahel M” to cooperate and he stomps on the gas. A cop is hit by his car and fires his gun.

In a recent social media post, trans woman and biological male Dylan Mulvaney ripped the boycott against Bud Light, claiming it prompted more bullying and “more transphobia than I could’ve ever imagined.”
The influencer also blasted the company for not being supportive as Mulvaney dealt with the “transphobia.”
Canadians’ pride in their nationality, like most things these days, seems to be divided down partisan lines, a new poll suggests.
While a strong majority of the 1,512 respondents to the survey by Leger said they were proud to be Canadian — 81 per cent — the poll suggests the feeling is less common among Conservative supporters than their Liberal counterparts.
Experts say that while the results of the survey may be surprising given Conservatives’ reputation as a patriotic party, it reflects their discontent with the direction in which Canada is headed.

The new head of the RAF has apologised unreservedly for a diversity drive that illegally discriminated against white men, in his first comments since taking the job.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton admitted the force’s recruitment and selection process wrongly “accelerated” 161 enlisted aviators, who were either women or from ethnic minority backgrounds, onto initial training ahead of other candidates between 2020 and 2021.
