Britain’s police need a lesson on free speech

Officers are given extensive training on ‘diversity’, but are taught next to nothing about free expression.

Last month, when a Koran was accidentally dropped and scuffed in a Wakefield school, West Yorkshire Police recorded a ‘non-crime hate incident’ (NCHI) against the four boys involved. This was despite the fact that the headteacher found there to be no evidence of any malicious intent. One of the sinister things about this is that NCHIs, unlike actual crimes, aren’t automatically deleted from someone’s record when they reach the age of 18. This means these ‘non-crimes’ can show up in enhanced criminal-records checks, potentially impacting those boys’ future employment prospects.

Two Tory Riding Executives Quit Over ‘Troubling’ Nomination Race

Two Conservative Party riding executives in Southern Ontario have resigned because of what one of them labelled a “troubling” nomination race that she says was unfairly tilted in favour of one candidate.

Catherine Agar and Brian Kaufman, former president and vice-president respectively of the Electoral District Association for the riding of Oxford, are both exiting their positions just days after Arpan Khanna, a lawyer from Mississauga, Ont., won the riding’s Tory nomination race, according to a Globe and Mail article.

Khanna won the party’s nomination in the Conservative stronghold riding on March 25 after a tight race.

This sounds so Ottawa.

The Guardian says sorry for slavery links and sets up £10m reparation fund

The Guardian has apologised for historic links to slavery and set up a £10m reparation fund after a three-year investigation into itself.

The Scott Trust, which owns Guardian Media Group, plans to launch a decade-long programme of “restorative justice” to make up for the role the newspaper’s founders played in the transatlantic slave trade.

Nashville Tragedy Shows Why It Isn’t Compassionate To Fuel Mental Illness

It’s difficult to fathom that several families started their day with one less precious child around the breakfast table this morning. It’s also hard to fathom responding to that reality — caused by a transgender mass shooter who left three 9-year-olds and several adults dead in a “targeted attack” at a Christian elementary school — by confessing you misgendered the murderer and blasting your political opponents over the same tired gun-control talking points.

But behind all the partisan smoke and mirrors of the Nashville story is an unmistakable and unavoidable reality: Our modern mental health crisis is out of control.

Justin Trudeau has let Beijing deep into Canadian politics

A series of explosive allegations about Chinese interference in Canadian politics have rocked Ottawa

As hard as it is to conceive of him as such, as the longest-serving head of government in the G7 Justin Trudeau is now one of the world’s elder statesmen. He has achieved this exalted status despite innumerable scandals rocking his government, on issues ranging from corruption to “blackface” to bullying to sexual misconduct, many of which would have felled a lesser politician.

But his lucky streak may finally be ending. For the past month, Ottawa has been riveted by a series of explosive allegations about Chinese interference in Canadian politics, from illegal campaign donations to disinformation campaigns, allegations leaked to the media by members of Canada’s usually docile intelligence service reportedly angry with the government ignoring their reports.

Why didn’t America’s Covid hypocrites pay a price?

The UK is in a rage at Boris Johnson yet Gavin Newsom walks free

Some choppy waters this week for former UK prime minister Boris Johnson, who more than ever looks like a ghost haunting a library. Johnson was recently hauled before a committee of Parliament where he was grilled about allegations that he’d attended parties with other government employees during Covid lockdown. The spectacle was so brutal that at one point the usually unflappable Boris lost his temper: “This is complete nonsense!” he barked.

Putin’s Nuclear Itch – The more he loses, the stronger it becomes.

For a year I’ve been expressing my fear of a desperate Vladimir Putin ultimately resorting to a nuclear option of some sort in Ukraine. The Russians always get their tails kicked in military conflicts, and the fact that they’ve been beat up in Ukraine is no surprise to anyone with a knowledge of Russian military history. Maybe the one person most surprised is Vladimir Putin. He’s not pleased. Putin is a thug, and as he runs out of options to seize Ukraine, the cornered Mad Dog could lash out at his fabricated enemy in an especially vicious way. That might mean nuclear weapons in some form.

Chrystia Freeland abandons budget balance plan, adding $50 billion in debt

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is steering the federal government’s finances back into deficit in a bid to ensure Canada gets a piece of a generational green transformation in the economy.

Freeland unveiled the 2023 budget Tuesday afternoon.

Last fall, she predicted that after years of sky-high, pandemic-driven deficits, the government would finally return to balance, gradually reducing deficits until moving into a $4.5 billion surplus in 2027. That previous surplus is now a $14 billion deficit.

Sunny Hostin Suggests Black People In US Are Treated Worse Than Muslims In China

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin suggested Tuesday that black people in the U.S. are treated worse than Uyghur Muslims placed in Chinese concentration camps.

During a discussion about the drop in American patriotism, Hostin said she does not recognize American exceptionalism because of “white supremacy.” Her criticism of the U.S. led her to compare the incarceration of black people to Uyghur Muslims in China.

National Security Threat: Another Latin American Country Chooses China

Honduras recently cut ties with Taiwan and established diplomatic ties with China.

Honduras’ Foreign Minister Eduardo Reina made it clear that the decision was about “pragmatism, not ideology” and that it was motivated by the country’s debt, which totals $20 billion, as well as the need to deal with the country’s energy and other needs. Honduras’ decision came just weeks after the Honduran government announced that it was negotiating with China to build a hydroelectric dam called Patuca II. China has already invested $298 million in a first dam in eastern Honduras inaugurated in January 2021.

Levi’s was facing a backlash after it unveiled new AI models it claimed would help boost diversity and sustainability.

The fashion brand recently said it was partnering with a digital studio that uses artificial intelligence to create realistic computer-generated images of different body types wearing the clothes.

The genie is out of the bottle, playing the race card won’t put it back in. And why does the article assume that white models are not being replaced by AI? Cuz then there’d be no story.

AI Could Impact 80% of American Jobs in the Next Few Years. Is Your Job on the List?

OpenAI, the people who brought you ChatGPT, teamed up with the University of Pennsylvania recently to study the effects and possible fallout of the implementation of AI in the American workplace. Their findings were not good. Well, not good if you happen to be a person who depends on a job for the money you need to feed your family, buy clothes, and keep a roof over your head. On the other hand, if you are a one-percenter or someone who aspires to live off of government largesse for the rest of your life, the news is either ho-hum or excellent.
