Often used for university and job applications, practice allows non-Indigenous people, be it innocently or cynically, to benefit wrongly.
On my application to McGill, one of the first questions I was asked was whether I self-identify as First Nations, Inuit or Métis. As someone who not only self-identifies, but more importantly, actually is First Nations, I checked the box, and that was it.
Four RCMP cruisers and several government vehicles, including an ambulance, were burned in a hotel parking lot in Smithers, B.C., early Wednesday in what police are describing as a “targeted attack on emergency service vehicles.”
RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson said eight vehicles were damaged or destroyed by fire outside the Sunshine Inn in the central B.C. town, which lies around 300 kilometres west of Prince George.
Photographs of the scene show a charred cruiser and pickup with RCMP markings.

No doubt right wing extremists. I bet this disappears into the memory hole like the Coastal GasLink attack.
The confusion and lack of clarity in the current administration’s foreign policies are growing ever more dangerous for US national security.
President Joe Biden’s recently released National Security Strategy labels Russia as an “acute” threat to U.S. national security. Yet the administration continues, with the support and encouragement of the EU, its futile attempt to restart the Iran nuclear deal, using Russia as its proxy negotiator. One can only wonder how the Biden administration believes the U.S. can negotiate this type of agreement using a nation we actually recognize and label an acute threat to work out the details with a nation—Iran—we label as a “persistent threat.”
Three members of a fringe paramilitary group were convicted on Wednesday of aiding a plot to kidnap the Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 over COVID-19 restrictions they viewed as oppressive.
The plotters – Paul Bellar, Joseph Morrison and Pete Musico – were convicted of trying to help Adam Fox carry out the kidnapping after a state court trial.
The prosecution in Jackson County, a Republican stronghold west of Detroit, grew out of a sprawling state and federal investigation into the plot.
At least 15 are dead in Iran following a sectarian attack by gunmen at a Shiite holy site on Wednesday.
Add yet another wrinkle to the country’s anti-regime actions that have been going on for weeks around the Mullah’s religious dictatorship.
Iranian state TV claimed that three Sunni Muslim extremists known as “takfiris” descended on the Shah Cheragh mosque in the southern city of Shiraz, shooting and killing at least 15 people, presumably worshippers.
A Canadian soldier who has publicly spoken out against the forced removal of hundreds of unvaccinated Armed Forces members is facing more charges.
Warrant Officer James Topp is now facing six counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline after the army reservist’s commanders laid four new charges against him last week.
Sweden’s Armed Forces said on Wednesday it had begun new inspections in the Baltic Sea at the sites of suspected explosions that ruptured the Nord Stream pipelines last month.
“The Swedish Armed Forces are this week carrying out complementary seabed surveys at the gas leaks with minesweepers,” the armed forces said on Twitter. “The investigation is done at our own initiative and is not part of the police investigation.”
Military officials did not want to be drawn into what sparked the new probe. “I can’t comment on what we are looking for, why we are there; but we had the need to come back to do an additional search,” a spokesperson for the military said.
In April, before launching his long-winded $44 billion takeover bid, Elon Musk posed the question: ‘Is Twitter dying?’
He may have been on the money, as new internal documents show that the social media platform has had an ‘absolute decline’ in users since the pandemic.
The report, obtained by Reuters, reveals ‘heavy tweeters’ make up less than 10 percent of the site’s monthly users, but generate 90 percent of all the content and half of the company’s revenue.
It’s dying. So is META.
A Social Media Status Update – Top social media apps are struggling after a decade of dominance.
For years, most of the conversation about social media companies was about how powerful and dominant they were.
These days? Not so much.
The tech industry has had a rough year, and social media companies have been hit especially hard. The stock price of Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has plummeted more than 60 percent. Snap, the maker of Snapchat, has fallen more than 80 percent. Layoffs and hiring freezes are common, and some companies have begun cutting their famously cushy employee perks.
Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel mocked Republicans on Tuesday for a conspiracy “theory” about fentanyl being smuggled in children’s Halloween candy — several days after officials at LAX seized 12,000 fentanyl pills that were disguised as popular candy.
An FBI email previously not known to the public has revealed that the bureau planned to make Igor Danchenko—the primary source for British former spy Christopher Steele’s Trump dossier—a confidential human source (CHS) before it had even interviewed him.
The revelation, which was discovered as a result of special counsel John Durham’s case against Danchenko, indicates that the FBI deliberately targeted 2016 presidential candidate and later President Donald Trump with claims it already knew at the time to be false.
The email—of which only the subject line has been made public—was first uncovered by an internet sleuth who goes by the moniker “Walkafyre” and was included in hundreds of unused exhibits from Danchenko’s trial.
Government absurdities are like dandelions in the summer. They are everywhere and there are so many to choose from. But while dandelions are generally uniform, some government policies are so preposterous they stand out from all the rest. The Liberal government in Ottawa has just served up a splendid example. “A lack of access to menstrual products in men’s toilet rooms,” it says, “has raised concerns regarding washroom equity.” Thus the need for a regulatory proposal — stretching over 10,000 words and sponsored by no fewer than four government departments (Employment and Social Development, Indigenous Services, Natural Resources, and Transport) — to improve hygiene and accommodate trans-gender individuals in federally regulated workplaces.
… So what are they thinking?
The answer, obviously, is that they believe that the actual figurehead is utterly irrelevant. Just as with Joe Biden who was installed as President of the United States, the front man no longer matters–at least when it comes to Democrats. Anybody who is short of being a corpse will do just fine because it is not the candidate people vote for that does anything important.
Leave that to the Deep State, who are increasingly the ones running the country. Empty vessel politicians are easier to control.
WASHINGTON — First son Hunter Biden’s “flirty” former secretary JiaQi “Jackie” Bao, who pushed for “Uncle Joe” Biden to run for president and has been linked to the Chinese government, is the focus of a new House Republican inquiry into the first family’s extensive overseas business dealings.
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, demanded information Wednesday from FBI Director Christopher Wray on the Biden family’s links to Bao while Hunter and his uncle James Biden raked in $4.8 million from Chinese government-linked CEFC China Energy in 2017 and 2018.
WAUKESHA, Wis. – A jury found Darrell Brooks guilty in the Waukesha Christmas parade attack that took place Nov. 21, 2021.
This, after a more than three-week trial that was, perhaps, unlike any other we’ve seen. Brooks was convicted of all six first-degree intentional homicide charges.
Two Canadians captured in Syria during the fight against the so-called Islamic State were arrested by the RCMP on Tuesday night after their flight landed in Montreal.
The women are the first the Canadian government has brought home from detention camps in northeast Syria for foreign ISIS members and their families.
You and I know that SFA will happen to these two monsters. They’ll likely have well paid government jobs courtesy of Justin in a year or so.
