Monkeypox is a gay thing. We must say it says Gay mag

By Mark S. King | ATLANTA – The mainstream media and public health officials are being so damn careful not to label monkeypox “a gay disease” that they’re doing a disservice to the gay men who most need important information about the outbreak – while misleading everybody else.

In a July 28th New York Times story of the excruciating symptoms and lack of care available for those with monkeypox in that city, the sexuality of the men profiled isn’t referenced until 11 paragraphs into the story, and even then it refers to them as “men who have sex with men,” which is technically correct but dodgy. Moreover, the article, which supposedly addresses barriers to care, ignores the fact that gay men routinely experience apathy and even judgment from health providers.

Other media stories, and statements from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have mentioned monkeypox cases in the context of “the LGBT community.” Really? Should lesbians be lining up for a monkeypox vaccine, whenever the heck they become widely available? This is happening to gay men. Say it.

RCMP sent out stock images of escaped killer’s accomplices

Pictures of suspected accomplices in Rabih Alkhalil escape were stock images, RCMP say

Coquitlam RCMP are still actively searching for Rabih “Robby” Alkhalil, who escaped from the North Fraser Pre-trial Centre on Thursday — but the photos they shared of his alleged accomplices were stock images, they said.

“It is believed that the suspects who helped Alkhalil escape bear a close resemblance to the photos they left behind, but those images are not them,” said Const. Deanna Law with Coquitlam RCMP in a statement Saturday afternoon.

Trudeau lines Putin’s pockets by lifting pipeline turbine sanction but punishes Ontario farmers & consumers with tariff on Russian fertilizer to advance Green-scam agenda

Ontario farmers say Canada’s fertilizer tariff punishes them for Russia’s war

As the federal government continues its efforts to punish Russia economically for its invasion of Ukraine, Ontario agriculture groups and representatives of Canada’s fertilizer sector are warning that cash crop farmers and consumers are the ones bearing the cost.

In March, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and International Trade Minister Mary Ng announced that in retaliation for Russia’s illegal invasion, Canada was imposing a 35 per cent general tariff on virtually all Russian imports — including nitrogen fertilizer that Eastern Canadian growers rely on to boost crop yields.

The timing — mere weeks from the start of planting season — couldn’t have been worse. Farmers make often risky decisions about what crops to grow and place orders for seed and fertilizer months in advance.

Something’s gotta give.

Canadians skeptical military will address sexual misconduct scandal: internal poll

Nearly 40 per cent of Canadians are not confident the Canadian Armed Forces will “appropriately” deal with allegations of sexual misconduct, according to internal National Defence polling reviewed by Global News.

And while the Canadian public continues to hold favourable views of their armed forces, the March 2022 report shows those positive feelings are declining amid ongoing misconduct scandals and concerns about racism within the ranks.

Russian tank attack in eastern Ukraine kills 2 Americans, Canadian and Swede

KYIV — Two Americans, a Canadian and a Swedish citizen were killed this week when a Russian tank opened fire on them during an hourslong battle at the frontline in the eastern Donetsk region, their commander confirmed exclusively to POLITICO.

Ruslan Miroshnichenko, the foreign fighters’ commander, said Saturday that the Americans killed were Luke “Skywalker” Lucyszyn and Bryan Young. He said they were killed alongside Emile-Antoine Roy-Sirois of Canada and Edvard Selander Patrignani of Sweden on July 18.

Unmarked Graves: Money or Justice?

July 2021: The scene is a live CBC broadcast from the former Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford, Ontario, where, similar to earlier claims in Kamloops, British Columbia, clandestine graves of missing Indigenous children are said to be located. From the teddy-bear-lined steps, reporter Bobby Hristova somberly states, “In terms of the search, we heard Chief Mark Hill say, ‘No Money. No response.’”

In a letter addressed to the Ontario Premier’s office, Chief Hill explains that the $400,000 annual grant secured from the Ontario government, later increased to $700,000 over a three-year period, “falls short and is not commensurate with Ontario’s role in operating the school.” The search for secret catacombs of Indigenous children is a growing Canadian industry, which repeatedly broadcasts that current funding increases are not enough for the “children to be brought home.”

Where is Pope Francis going, and who is he meeting, during his 6-day visit to Canada?

Pope Francis is set to arrive in Canada on Sunday for a six-day tour, marking the first papal visit to the country in 20 years.

The pope is scheduled to travel to Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit, where he will meet with Indigenous leaders and residential school survivors. He is expected to deliver an apology for the Catholic Church’s role in the residential school system.

I wonder if he’ll bless the fake graves?

Justin Trudeau Spreads The Political Fertilizer, While Reducing Resources Canadian Farmers Need

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, over strenuous objections from provincial agriculture ministers, is moving ahead with a program that will severely cripple, if not entirely destroy, his country’s farmers by reducing the amount of available fertilizer. Trudeau’s alleged goal is to reduce nitrous oxide emissions, thus canceling summer … er, reducing global warming.

What We Know About The New Covid Variant And Why There’s No Cause For Alarm

A new COVID variant has recently been detected in several countries including the U.K., U.S., India, Australia and Germany.

Called BA.2.75, it’s a subvariant of Omicron. You might have also heard it called “Centaurus,” the name of a constellation and given to BA.2.75 by a Twitter user.

The World Health Organization has classified BA.2.75 as a variant of interest, rather than a variant of concern. This means it’s being monitored but there’s not yet evidence it will cause problems.

Guilbeault’s Emissions Reduction Scheme Causes Further Divide Between Ottawa And Alberta

Ottawa’s plan to cap oil and gas sector emissions by almost 40% by the end of this decade is falling on deaf ears in Alberta where the sector is already working to reduce emissions.

In March, the federal government’s Emissions Reduction Plan suggested cutting 110 million tonnes by 2030 – a 46% cut from 2019 levels.

Even NDP leader Rachel Notley, who implemented a carbon tax and phased out all of Alberta’s coal-fired power plants while Premier, said the target is “beyond ambitious, it’s a fantasy.”

US Feds Directing Big Tech Censorship? Discovery Begins.

We’ve heard it a thousand times: “The First Amendment doesn’t apply to private social media platforms.” That statement, however, presumes the private company’s independence from government action. But what if the social media platform defers censorship decisions to the government itself? Can the government circumvent free speech protections by using a cut-out to censor citizen speech critical of its policies or preferred political candidates?

Criticism Dogs Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s Redefinition of ‘Female,’ ‘Male’ to Include Gender Identity

Those changes suggest agreement with the transgender community’s contention that a person’s gender identity is legitimate, even if that person does not have the same physical characteristics or capabilities as the gender they claim to embody.

Thugs Vandalize 77 Churches And Centers Over Abortion

39 pregnancy centers, 28 churches and 10 other targets, which include a maternity home. Who attacks a place that houses pregnant women? What happened to a woman’s choice?

Democrat narrative about Ohio child rape victim completely falls apart

Democrats went all out to sell and promote the story of a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio who supposedly had to seek an abortion out of state based on Ohio’s abortion ban in the wake of the overturning of Roe. v. Wade.

They huffed and they puffed, claiming that the case was an argument for abortion on demand. Never mind that the state attorney general said that was nonsense, given that the health of the 10-year-old mother was at stake. Much was made of some conservatives who initially doubted the story, which turned out to be real.
