YouTube to crack down on videos about self-performed abortions

YouTube will begin to restrict videos about self-performed abortions.

The video streaming service announced on Thursday that it was implementing new guidelines regarding the spread of information about alternative medical procedures for getting an abortion. The concern arises as abortion rights advocates become concerned about ease of access after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

“Starting today and ramping up over the next few weeks, we will remove content that provides instructions for unsafe abortion methods or promotes false claims about abortion safety under our medical misinformation policies,” YouTube said in a tweet.

Trudeau continues immigration games as Roxham Road sees record numbers of benefit seekers

In the first six months of this year, more people crossed illegally into Canada at Roxham Road in Quebec than in all of 2019. The asylum seekers fast-track route may have all but shut down for much of the pandemic, but now it’s back in business with gusto.

Wealthy Minneapolis neighborhood is crowdfunding to pay for extra police patrols after woke city council pledged to ‘end policing as we know it’ by disbanding department

A wealthy Minneapolis neighborhood crowdfunded $210,000 to pay the city’s police department for extra officer patrols amid a skyrocketing crime surge.

Extra patrols were dispatched to Lowry Hill, where more than 40 percent of residents earn six figures, after the community raised funds to pay cops $107 for each hour of overtime they worked.

The community requested additional police presence after Minneapolis saw increased violence and criminal activity after an outcry over George Floyd’s murder prompted the woke city council to cut $1 million from the police department.

EV reckoning comes to Ford as it cuts 8,000 ICE jobs to focus on electrification

Innovation forward does not always come without sacrifice. According to a report earlier today, Ford Motor Company is planning to cut as many as 8,000 jobs, pertaining mostly to positions in the American automaker’s internal combustion division. The layoffs are said to help wean Ford off ICE production and use those funds to further invest in EV development.

Although Ford Motor Company was one of the legacy automakers a tad slow to fully embrace electrification, it has found quick success around the globe on the coat tails of its flagship Mustang Mach-E, which was followed by the uber popular F-150 Lightning.

Germany Begged Canada for Gas Pipeline Part to Prevent ‘Uprisings’

… In the hopes of persuading authorities within Justin Trudeau’s leftist government to relax sanctions against Russia enough to allow the export of an essential energy pipeline part, German authorities reportedly told their Canadian counterparts that, without the component in question, Germany would be forced to fend off internal “popular uprisings”.

While authorities have since tried to play down their own statements on the matter, these claims made by German authorities are consistent with previous statements from ministers, with one decrying the possibility of so-called “right-wing extremists” gaining popularity should the country’s government be unable to manage the country’s energy situation.

This is all about keeping the green-scam agenda alive.

Subtle as a Brick Through a Window, U.S. Media Starts Reshaping Corrupt Ukraine Narrative

From the CTH perspective, if we accept the scale of the approaching U.S. economic pain that is clearly visible on the horizon, this narrative shift from the Associated Press and NPR, about a balancing act for U.S. policy and a corrupt Ukraine government, seems very predictable.

The average U.S. worker, and the middle class in general, is in trouble. The visible reference of bailing out the people of Ukraine to the tune of $60+ billion is legislative salt in an open economic wound caused by Biden policy. A shift is needed.

Pivoting away from Ukraine to focus on financial subsidies for Americans requires using a particular arm-distancing toward Zelenskyy from the politicians.

Look, corruption.

Something seems to be afoot. In the last few days there have been negative stories on Ukraine men fleeing rather than fighting in Germany’s DW and elsewhere on the risk of donated weapons finding their way into the black market etc.

Guns and Masculinity – Democrats want to rid America of both.

In opening comments Wednesday for the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on so-called “assault weapons,” Democrat Senator and gun-confiscation enthusiast Dick Durbin threatened that it is “time to name and shame” the makers of AR-15s, the rifle Democrats have demonized as “weapons of war.” Gun manufacturers aren’t the trigger-pullers behind mass shootings, but they are a much easier and more politically useful scapegoat to target than the criminally insane minds of the actual shooters. Democrats aren’t interested in ending gun violence anyway; if they were, they would be holding hearings on the shootings perpetrated by gang members in Democrat-run inner cities, by terrorists, and by the criminally insane. What they want to end is not gun violence but gun ownership.

Limited vaccine supply could thwart Canada’s efforts to contain monkeypox

As an unprecedented global monkeypox outbreak keeps growing, Canada remains opaque about its vaccine stockpile — even as advocates and medical experts warn the country may lack enough supply to meet current demand, with many Canadians being offered just one round of what’s typically a two-dose shot in order to stretch supplies.

Countries are also hastily procuring more vaccine shipments while a key manufacturer is striving to keep up with global orders, all to stop the spread of a virus that has struck more than 14,000 people globally so far this year.

Oh great… Monkeypox virus could become entrenched as new STD in the US

America’s woke Army is facing a recruiting nightmare

“Suppose they gave a war and no one came.”

That was a slogan of the 1960s anti-war movement. Now it’s becoming a reality, at least for the United States Army, as recruiting woes mount. The problem is a simple one: Not enough people want to be soldiers — and with reason.

Four things we still don’t know about the Jerry Dias investigation in the wake of explosive leaked report

Allegations that former Unifor head Jerry Dias received a $50,000 kickback from a rapid test supplier he promoted to employers have left Canada’s largest private-sector union reeling.

Dias allegedly offered half of that money to his assistant Chris MacDonald, who reported the breach to Unifor and filed a formal complaint.

The Star has obtained the summary of an independent workplace investigation commissioned by Unifor, as well as 1,600 pages of minutes detailing how the union’s senior leadership dealt with the fallout. The investigation found that Dias tried to impede the probe into the alleged kickback scandal by pressuring the whistleblower to drop their complaint, a breach of the union’s ethics.

Jamil Jivani: Critical race theory is a real problem in Canada

Adherents to CRT are actively pitting communities against each other on the basis of skin colour

If Canadians are to truly understand how much our country has changed over the past two years, we must grapple with the assumptions and objectives of critical race theory (CRT).

You might think of CRT as an American idea. And it did start out that way. The theory’s two primary architects are Columbia University law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw and former New York University law professor Derrick Bell.

Medical schools in Ontario didn’t want her. So this aspiring family doctor is training in the U.S.

… Western University’s Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry admits 171 students to its MD program each year: 133 in London and 38 at its Windsor campus.

“Significant changes to the medical school admissions process have taken place over the last several years,” said Western University spokesperson Crystal Mackay, “specifically focused on mitigating barriers for underrepresented populations within medicine, such as those who self-identify as racialized, those from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those from rural or remote areas.”

Another great idea.

Did Ottawa meddle with an RCMP murder probe? ‘There’s a whole lot of smoke here’

Did the federal government interfere in the police investigation of the deadliest shooting in Canadian history?

That’s the central question that will be at the heart of a much-anticipated probe on Monday, looking at allegations of pressure on the RCMP during its investigation of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting.

The House of Commons standing committee on public safety will be hearing from RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair, as well as current and former top RCMP officials from Nova Scotia.
