A pair of Florida sheriff’s deputies are being investigated for arresting a legally blind man after mistaking the folded cane in his back pocket for a firearm.
James Hodges, 61, was detained by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office deputies on Oct. 31 as he walked on a sidewalk on his way home from the courthouse, First Coast News reported.
“Hi there. What’s this in your back pocket? I just saw you walking,” a female deputy says in the bodycam footage.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau he felt Ottawa police and the mayor mismanaged the Freedom Convoy protest and reopening the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., was the priority, according to a readout of a call the two politicians shared in February.
As part of evidence presented at the inquiry into the Emergencies Act on Tuesday, the readout shows Ford said “police are a little shy” and “if I could direct the police, I would” as he told Trudeau the Ontario government was looking for ways to give officers more tools to clear the bridge blockade
While we all wait for the polls to close today, I thought I would circle back to a topic that hasn’t been generating as many headlines in the MSM lately as it did earlier this year, though there has certainly been activity taking place inside Congress and the Pentagon. The subject is the ongoing drama involving the Pentagon’s UFO investigation office, currently known as the AARO. (The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.) I say “currently” because that office has gone through a lot of name changes over the past 18 years, evolving from AAWSAP to ATTIP to AOIMSG and others, with yet another name expected to be announced later this year.
Just under a decade ago, the Temporary Foreign Worker program was reeling from a string of controversies – over unpaid wages, the displacement of Canadian workers and the exploitation of migrants.
Justin Trudeau, then the leader of a Liberal Party in third place, penned an op-ed in the Toronto Star in 2014 that outlined a fix for the program. For one, he said it needed “to be scaled back dramatically over time, and refocused on its original purpose: to fill jobs on a limited basis when no Canadian workers can be found.”
But since Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals have come to power, the country has doubled down on its use of foreign labour. At the end of 2021, more than 775,000 people from abroad had temporary work permits, an increase of 92 per cent from 2015, and 600 per cent from 2000.
Fucking evil bastards.
Canadian intelligence officials recently confirmed that China is infiltrating and corrupting Canada’s democratic institutions. This needs to be fixed – and that begins with establishing a registry of foreign agents.
Global News reported Monday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with his senior cabinet members, were warned by intelligence officials that Beijing had funded a “clandestine network” of candidates during the 2019 federal election. Beijing allegedly transferred at least $250,000 to at least eleven candidates and planted several operatives who worked as campaign staffers. Beijing operatives were also allegedly planted into the offices of elected MPs in an attempt to control their policy choices.

Americans must be kept on an emergency posture where elites know best
If all indications are correct, Election Day will see a massive red wave, sweeping Republicans into power in the House, Senate, governorships, and statehouses across the country. The mood will be grim for Democrats — the night is dark and the knives are long — but there is hope right around the corner in the form of a tool they have long had at the ready: the return of Covid.
Treaty against fossil fuels floated at UN climate summit
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, EGYPT – The world should confront climate change the way it does nuclear weapons, by agreeing to a non-proliferation treaty that stops further production of fossil fuels, a small island nation leader urged Tuesday.
The proposal by Tuvalu came as vulnerable nations pushed for more action and money at international climate talks in Egypt, while big polluters remained divided over who should pay for the damage industrial greenhouse gas emissions have done to the planet.
Was the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa a violent event? Was it violent enough to justify the use of the Emergencies Act?
And what is required to justify bringing down that huge hammer?
Ukrainian forces are closing in on Kherson, while Russian forces are building up defences inside it.
Both sides see the city, in the south of the country, as important to control. However, military experts say a battle for it could prove very costly.
Before the war, Kherson had a population of about 380,000.
It is on the banks of the Dnipro river, near the Black Sea coast.
It is also close to the Crimean peninsula – a part of Ukraine which Russia annexed in 2014 and which contains a number of its military bases.

October 15. The corpse of a 12-year-old girl hidden in a big plastic box is discovered on a sidewalk in the eastern part of Paris. The victim’s name was Lola. She was the daughter of the caretakers of the building where the murder took place.
Witnesses, fingerprints and images from surveillance cameras quickly lead police to arrest a woman. She confessed but said she had absolutely no remorse. The details she gave, confirmed by the autopsy, are that she gagged Lola with tape, undressed her, tied her to a chair, raped her with objects, partially cut her throat, put the blood in a bottle and drank it, smoked a cigarette, then finished slitting Lola’s throat and beheaded her. The woman stabbed the corpse multiple times before placing it in a plastic box, and took it down to the street.
ROME — Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin addressed the U.N. COP27 climate summit Tuesday, urging net-zero emissions and warning climate change “will not wait for us.”
Speaking for Pope Francis, Cardinal Parolin told the dignitaries gathered in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Skeikh that the Holy See is fully committed to the goal of net-zero emissions and is “intensifying its efforts to improve its environmental management.”
It’s an Idiocracy world, and we’re just living in it.
Students at Jones College Prep in downtown Chicago conducted a sit-in on Monday after their Principal Joseph Powers was fired by the Chicago Public Schools. They were protesting Mr. Powers’ response to a student wearing a Halloween costume to school that the ignorant children mistook for a Nazi uniform but was, as Mr. Powers vainly tried to explain to the kids, a uniform worn by an East German border guard, probably from the 1980s.
It’s time we started culling the societal herd of weirdos and degenerates by shaming them out of the mainstream.
We’ve long used shame as an essential tool in shaping our common morality with great success. Since the fall of man, it has acted as a blunt reminder to stay the course as we grow up past childhood and enter the age of reason.
Last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford launched the constitutional equivalent of a nuclear first strike on public-sector unions. And then, facing a predictable and equally extreme union counterstrike – public schools mostly closed; an economy-wide general strike on tap – he abruptly reversed course.
As one labour leader put it on Monday at a celebratory press conference, Mr. Ford “blinked.” He sure did. He offered what diplomats trying to end a war refer to as a return to the “status quo ante” – things as they were before the shooting started. The government promised to repeal the legislation that used the notwithstanding clause to impose a contract; the union representing 55,000 education workers agreed to end its strike so negotiations can resume.
