Lee, 43, was the chief product officer of MobileCoin. He was also former chief technology officer of Square and one of the co-founders of Cash App.
Imagine the scene. Prime minister’s official residence — early summer — a swanky garden party in full swing. Over one thousand Laurentian elites and politicos hobnob under a tent over wine and canapés as storm clouds gather outside. No one suspects complete and utter disaster, what historians would come to call God’s 11th plague, is about to strike.
I think it’s a sign that Trudeau is a minion of Satan. Nothing else explains his stupid evil.
King Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth II have received payments equivalent to more than £1bn from two land and property estates that are at the centre of a centuries-old debate over whether their profits should be given to the public instead.
An investigation by the Guardian has established the full scale of income extracted by the royals from the duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, which run giant portfolios of land and property across England.
The duchies operate as professionally run real estate empires that manage swathes of farmland, hotels, medieval castles, offices, shops and some of London’s prime luxury real estate. They also have substantial investment portfolios, but pay no corporation tax or capital gains tax.
The Guardian is running an expose of the Royal Family’s wealth. It is an eye-opener.
Does the institution merit such privilege?
OTTAWA – France’s ambassador to Canada says Ottawa must choose between tying itself entirely to Washington or broadening its links to partner more with Europe — while also calling out Canada’s “weak” military engagement.
“This nagging question of the future American commitment offers, in any case more than ever, the opportunity for Europe, France and Canada to play a role together,” Michel Miraillet said in a French-language speech Tuesday to the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations.
Given France’ & Europe’s internal Islamic rot I think we should take a pass though Junior will find it appealing and he’ll just love this…

Drag queens should be invited into schools to help challenge the “heteronormative culture and curriculum”, the country’s biggest teaching union has said.
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) voted to support initiatives like drag queen storytime at a conference in Harrogate on Wednesday morning.
Drag queens and LGBT+ authors visiting schools challenge the “heteronormative culture and curriculum that dominates education”, the approved motion stated.
Canada is no better, maybe worse. These deviants want your children.
A nonbinary, a wizard, a witch, two drag queens, two maskers, an AWFL, a child, a disabled minority, and a cis white male just introduced legislation to make “offensive remarks” near drag shows a violation of Canadian law.

How can Canada contribute the most to the fight against climate change? Not by nickel and diming our own population
“A real piece of work.” That’s how Ontario Premier Doug Ford described federal environment minister Steven Guilbault after the latter lambasted him for having “no plan to fight climate change.” The riff came about after Ford criticized the latest hike in the federal carbon tax, from 50$ to 65$ per ton effective April 1, which raised the price of gas by three cents a litre.
The US is “going to hell”, Donald Trump has said in a defiant address after pleading not guilty to falsifying business records to hide damaging information ahead of the 2016 election.
The former president was charged with 34 counts in a Manhattan court in New York on Tuesday.
These relate to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who says they had an affair.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland participated in an undisclosed session on the financing of Ukraine during her visit to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos earlier this year, an official document shows.
The information was revealed in an Inquiry of Ministry tabled by the government on March 29 in response to an order paper from Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis.
The private session attended by Freeland was not listed in her public itinerary and neither did it appear in the public program of the WEF.
It’s important that Canadians not know what the hell Chrystia is up to.
Woke Austin, Texas granted a key to the city to a radical defund the police protestor who doesn’t think anyone should be placed in jail — even murderers.
Despite the city setting a record for homicides in 2021 after dramatically cutting its police budget and 911 response times climbing to hours even for serious crimes, Chas Moore, head of the Austin Justice Coalition, believes police and prisons should be abolished.

HUNTER: Suspect in Vaughan murder’s astonishing record of violence
Alexander Mills-Smith did not survive the triggerman’s handiwork. Dead at 22.
That was in Vaughan. Later, cops twigged to two gunshot victims in Toronto and determined they were at the scene of the 905 gunplay. They were luckier than Mills-Smith that early morning of March 9.
Canadian politician Kristyn Wong-Tam, who uses the pseudo-pronouns "they/them," proposes legislation to criminalize "offensive remarks" within 100 meters of a Drag Queen Story Hour.

We have any number of serious issues to contend with but this twit is worried about safe spaces for Drag Queens.
Xi must be pleased.
A US nuclear bomb was bent in what appears to be the first case of an accident involving nuclear weapons in Europe since the Cold War.
A photograph of a B61 bomb with a very noticeable curve in its middle being inspected by US soldiers at a Dutch air base was discovered by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) .
Canadian Public Requires ‘Increased Education’ if Electric Vehicle Mandate Is to be Met: Federal Report
The general public needs to receive “increased education” to quell broad concerns about electric vehicles (EV) if the government’s EV mandate over the next 12 years is to be met, says an in-house federal research report.
Titled “Canadians’ awareness, knowledge and attitudes related to zero emission vehicles” and published in February, the report included results of a survey conducted in September and October 2022 with over 3,450 Canadian adults participating, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
French police will have to photograph British babies’ faces at the border unless the EU accepts the use of new passport technology.
EU officials last night confirmed that there would be “no exceptions” to the need for facial imagery under the bloc’s entry and exit system (EES), suggesting even infants will have to provide data.
At present, non-EU travellers’ passports are stamped and they are subjected to a series of questions when they cross the border into the bloc.
