Haiti gang violence: 209 killed in Cité Soleil in 10 days
More than 200 people have been killed in gang violence in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, in the space of 10 days, United Nations figures reveal.
Almost half of those who died were residents without ties to the gangs which are fighting for control of the Cité Soleil neighbourhood, the UN says.
Locals say they are running out of drinking water and food as deliveries have been halted amid the shoot-outs.
One resident described his life as “a cycle of fear, stress and despair”.
British prof who is member of the Communist party and advocates “facemasks forever” appointed as chair of WHO advisory group
Professor Susan Michie, Director of the Centre for Behaviour Change at University College London, will chair the WHO’s Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Behavioural Insights and Sciences for Health.
The UCL academic, who is a frequent contributor on the BBC and ITV, has been a member of the Communist Party of Britain for more than 40 years.
She made headlines last year after she advocated for stringent Covid-19 restrictions on life in the UK and “maximum suppression” of the virus around the world, including saying that face masks and social distancing measures should continue “forever”.
Rex Murphy: Food and energy — the Liberal government’s attack on life’s essentials
To flip a very famous phrase, now is the summer of our discontent.
Toronto — always yearning to be a world-renowned city, but not in this way — has had its main airport deemed the “world’s worst.” The government of (what should be) a great country is buying lawn chairs for citizens stranded in endless lines waiting for passports. A democracy-minded woman from Medicine Hat is sitting in an Ottawa jail over highly technical “breach of bail’ conditions while volatile offenders wander freely outside in the summer air. Inquiries into possible interference in a massive police investigation and the first-time invocation of the Emergencies Act are stumbling along with questionable effectiveness.

FUREY: Here’s why we might soon see more farmer protests across Canada
Last week, Canadian news reports told of farm-related protests erupting across the country — including one that saw a slow roll convoy head through downtown Ottawa.
These reports described this activism as a show of support for Dutch farmers. Tensions have run high in the Netherlands as farmers have used equipment to block roads and supermarkets in response to climate change regulations targeting livestock emissions. They say the regulations will force the closure of farms across the country and send food prices soaring.
Man charged with killing Muslim family in London, Ont. to be tried elsewhere
The trial of a man facing terror-related murder charges in the deaths of four members of a Muslim family in London, Ont., will be held in a different city.
An Ontario judge has ruled that a change of venue is warranted in the case of Nathaniel Veltman.
The reasons for that decision, as well as the evidence and arguments presented in court, cannot be disclosed due to a publication ban.
Trudeau government insists its Green-scam can ruin economy by 2030 despite extension for oil and gas sector
The federal government says Canada will still achieve its 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction commitments despite Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault offering the oil and gas sector a little more time to hit its targets.
“The target date hasn’t changed. Really, the minister was just trying to show flexibility and good will,” said Bruce Cheadle, a senior communications adviser to Guilbeault.
Cheadle said the federal government is not “rewriting its program” on emission reductions but is rather trying to be flexible in the way it meets its overall 2030 target.
Everything this government says is a lie. They will deliberately impoverish you.
Stephen Harper endorses Pierre Poilievre for party leader
OTTAWA – Former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper has endorsed Pierre Poilievre to be the party’s next leader.
In a rare public return to party politics, Harper, who didn’t wade into the Conservatives’ 2017 and 2020 leadership races, released a short video on Twitter on Monday discussing his endorsement.
Harper says the contest to lead the party is filled with candidates, but one stands out.
Biden Regime Beginning Program To Give Amnesty-Lite To Illegal Aliens
The Biden Regime has announced another amnesty program for illegal aliens; likely this is the start of a full amnesty for all illegal aliens. This new amnesty involves issuing an identification card, first to all illegal aliens currently in removal proceedings, but the intent is clear that eventually all illegal aliens will be issued this amnesty-lite card. The program appears to be based on the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA), amnesty where a subset of illegal aliens was just given an amnesty-lite status: employment authorization, protection from deportation, ability to travel on commercial aircraft, and the ability to access all the breeder government documents necessary to remain in the United States equivalent to being a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). The only thing missing will be a real legal status in the United States. Like DACA, the plan is to make it a fait accompli, and dare the Republicans to end the program after the mid-term elections. Under DACA, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used the vehicle of Form I-765, Employment Authorization Document (EAD), as the basis for the amnesty. As with Form I-765, an alien receives authorization to work, and de facto welfare, access to commercial aviation, state driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, and other government benefits. It is the functional equivalent of a green card.
Trudeau Is Stoking A Canadian Farmers’ Rebellion With His Attack On The Use Of Fertilizer
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is pushing forward with imposing requirements on Canadian farmers to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers, the same reduction mandates that have caused farmers in the Netherlands to engage in mass protests.
The Liberals are arguing that their 30 percent nitrous oxide reduction target is purely about emissions and not fertilizer, but it would be impossible to meet those targets the government wants to implement without cutting back on the use of fertilizer, which is the biggest contributor to emissions.
Despite widespread outrage from provincial agricultural ministries, Marie-Claude Bibeau, the federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Foods, said that she believes farmers will go along with the 30 percent reductions willingly.
Gonna party like it’s 1789.
Study: Lockdowns Had No Impact on COVID Mortality
In January of 2020, revelations about COVID-19 began gaining widespread attention. At the time, the virus was little known to public health officials and consequently, much of their guidance on its transmission, mortality rates and prevention had a seat-of-the-pants quality about it. Soon we were being instructed to use hand sanitizer, not touch anything that could possibly host pathogens, cover the nose and mouth, keep at least six feet away from others, keep kids out of school and everyone out of church, limit family gatherings, shut down much of the economy except for “essential” services (elusive term!), etc.
‘Historic’ Correction Grips Canada’s Housing Market, RBC Says
Benchmark home prices could fall more than 12% through early next year from the market’s peak, a bigger decline than any of the four national downturns of the past 40 years, according to a report Friday by Royal Bank of Canada economist Robert Hogue.
Sales are also expected to slump 23% this year and 15% next year, RBC said. That total decline of 42% since early 2021 would outrank the 38% drop in 2008 and 2009.
‘Attacking Freedom’: Venezuelan Immigrant Sees Warning Signs Of ‘Socialism’ In US
Andrés Guilarte, a political activist who has been living as an asylum seeker in the United States for three years, said that price and currency controls that have contributed to “rising inflation and rampant crime,” as well as government attacks on freedom of speech, are warning signs of an embrace of socialism.
Do Canadians Get It Yet? The Liberals Want You To Be Poor
The Trudeau Liberals spent years trying to wreck the Canadian energy sector.
As a consequence, the cost-of-living, including the cost of energy, has risen dramatically, something that wouldn’t have happened (at least not to the same extent) if Canada had been effectively making use of our abundant natural resources.
But that’s not enough.
The Liberals are now setting their sights on Canadian farmers, seeking to impose the same disastrous policies that have caused such a massive backlash in the Netherlands.
