Toronto eyeing new plan to ban cats from going outdoors unless on leash

“If you love your cat, keep Fluffy indoors.”

These were environmentalist and former Scarborough city councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker’s words to Toronto City Council Wednesday as a city committee discussed a plan that could prohibit cat owners from allowing felines to roam freely outdoors.

The motion, moved by Councillor for Ward 17 – Don Valley North Shelley Carroll, is rooted in the belief outdoor cats can be a danger to local ecosystems, hunting bird and rodent populations, and are themselves at risk of being hit by vehicles or attacked by wildlife while roaming.

So what’s the money angle?

Canada imposes new sanctions on Russian media in crackdown on Ukraine war disinformation

Canada has imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia’s media machine designed to puncture disinformation campaigns about the war in Ukraine.

The sanctions target Russian news agencies, TV stations and journalists, including Petr Akopov, who has written approvingly about President Vladimir Putin’s rationale for the invasion of Ukraine, and Tigran Keosayan, a pro-Kremlin television presenter.

The Liberal Media Thinks You Shouldn’t Fight Back When They Attack You

Watching the reaction to the Pierre Poilievre campaign ‘daring’ to stand up for themselves has been quite illuminating.

As I noted in a previous article, Global News was clearly setting up a hitjob piece on Poilievre.

Yet, rather than meekly going along with it, the Poilievre campaign fought back, slamming Global News as a “Liberal-mouthpiece.”

Liberals Want Perpetual Government Assistance For Legacy Media

The Liberal government wants to provide assistance indefinitely for the legacy media after the $595 million federal journalism bailout expires in 2024.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Canadian Heritage hasn’t ruled out extending funding despite the fact that the bailout has failed to save financially unviable outlets or prevent them from going under.

Islamic School Association Establishes Nation-Wide Education System

“Canada finally has an Association that represents Islamic Schools across Canada: Islamic Schools Association of Canada (ISAC).”

What an accomplishment. Education forms a bedrock for any community. A structured academic system results in cultivation of pride, identity and culture among community members.

The Left’s Alarming Push To Sever The Parent-Child Relationship Has Hit The Medical Industry

The Left’s agenda to groom your children has taken another turn. Various states across America have begun implementing laws and policies to allow children to make healthcare decisions without a parent or guardian’s consent — and the medical industry is promoting it. Many of these states are using these new laws to allow for drastic medical decisions to be made without parental consent including hormone therapy, gender reassignment surgery, and medicated mental health treatment.

The Left’s Obsession With ‘Conspiracy Theories’

According to the left, every single person in the country who holds and/or promotes conservative policy positions or even just votes for a Republican is actually part of an underground network of conspiracy theorists.

It’s a truly strange way to look at the world – imagining that everyone who disagrees with you is not only a terrible person hell-bent on the destruction of the world but that all of those people are actually part of a clandestine network of conspiracy theorists.

New Data Shows Pretty Much No One Trusts The Media Anymore

Why is it that Republican voters trust media less than Democrats, I ask you? What could be the cause?

Is it possible that Democrats get routinely covered in the media? They sought to discredit the Hunter Biden Story in 2020. He had several anti-Trump stories retract over his presidency. They continue to label anyone who votes for Trump far-right extremists.

Dutch farmers are fed up with totalitarianism rebranded as ‘Climate Change’

The ‘Climate Change’ agenda is a global, existential threat to prosperity and freedom from tyranny – nowhere else is that more apparent right now than in the small European country of the Netherlands. Under the tutelage of Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte became a “golden pin-up boy” for the Agenda 2030 cause.

Ukraine Reveals the Need for an ‘America First’ Foreign Policy

SINCE 1989 the United States has had an almost perfect record of winning wars and losing the peace—or failing to achieve peace in the first place. The scorecard begins not with the 1991 Persian Gulf War but with the proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Children of the 1980s can recall when Afghan freedom fighters were celebrated the same way the Ukrainians are today.

Losing the peace also means losing it at home. When Americans look back on a war, what do they see? Do they remember why George H.W. Bush’s approval ratings shot into the stratosphere in 1991, or do they remember the aftermath of “Gulf War syndrome” and domestic terrorism? Do they view the results of the Iraq War or Afghan War with pride or shame? Do they place more or less faith in the policymakers responsible for those wars?

Another Year, Another Bloody Summer

The surge in violent crime that began a few years ago continues. It will abate only when Americans demand and get action from local and national leaders.

The crime numbers we’ve seen already this year highlight the problem.

A serious upswing in violent crime often follows significant anti-police protests and less aggressive policing. Researchers call this the Ferguson Effect or the Minneapolis Effect.

The events of the summer of 2020 created a perfect storm.

Is Russia winning the war?

Ukraine will lose without drastic Western mobilisation

A couple of weeks ago, I was smoking a cigarette outside my hotel in Kharkiv when a Ukrainian man, hearing me speak English, came over to show me a photo on his phone. It was of his 21-year-old son who he had just buried that day, killed fighting as part of a volunteer battalion outside Izyum. “He was my only son,” the man told me, “I still can’t believe my line has died out. I keep calling his phone and then remembering. Tomorrow I will join his unit and take his place.”

BLM’s art fellowship program, cited as reason for $6M mansion purchase, nowhere to be found

Three months have passed since the national Black Lives Matter group announced the launch of an art fellowship program used to justify its secret purchase of a $6 million Los Angeles mansion, but the charity hasn’t even begun to accept applications for the program.

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation announced the fellowship program just days before New York magazine revealed in early April the charity had secretly purchased the property with donor cash in October 2020. BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors filmed videos at the property for her personal YouTube channel, held private events at the compound, and stayed at the mansion for days at a time during the 19-month period BLM concealed its purchase of the property from the public and its donors.

Identity Politics for People Without Identities

Wokeness is the emotional pandemic of people without faith or country.

There’s no one quite so woke as a white twenty-something with no identity of his, her or xer own, only peer tastes and consumer products. The corporate fusion of consumerism and identity politics in which everyday brands and retailers from Dove to Walmart champion black nationalism or celebrate ‘pride’ happened because they have the same target demographic.

Brown axed to keep Conservative party ‘beyond reproach,’ top official tells members

OTTAWA – The chair of the Conservatives’ leadership election organizing committee says the party “could not afford the risk” of having a candidate under investigation for breaking federal laws.
In an email sent to party members Friday morning, Ian Brodie doubled down on the decision as the “right thing” to keep the party “beyond reproach” in the long term.

The missive did not address last night’s late-breaking statement from a whistleblower, Debra Jodoin, who alleged that Brown broke election laws by personally directing a private company to pay for her campaign expenses.

Chi-Coms? Muslims? Tamils? Who wasn’t Brown cozying up with?
