City police are seeking special constable status for up to 491 Royal Canadian Mounted Police to help patrol around Canada Day — when more “freedom movement” protests are expected alongside the celebrations — and during “other major events” through the end of November.
According to Google engineer Blake Lemoine, an artificial intelligence (“AI”) chatbot application called LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, has achieved sentience, or independent self-aware consciousness.
Google vice president Blaise Aguera y Arcas and Jen Gennai, head of Responsible Innovation, have dismissed Lemoine’s claims and placed him on paid administrative leave for breach of confidentiality.
Social media is full of posts this month by Canadian airlines celebrating pride. There’s a WestJet TikTok video showing a plane flying over a rainbow, Sunwing and Air Transat tweets promoting LGBTQ vacation hot spots and, on Instagram, Flair Airlines is wishing everyone “Happy Pride.”
But non-binary Canadians with travel plans feel excluded from those Pride celebrations.
A strange new medical anomaly has doctors baffled as it sweeps across the country. Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) is on the rise, and it’s tragically claiming the lives of healthy young adults, sometimes in their sleep.
Essentially, people are dying without displaying any prior sign of illness. They simply do not wake up after going to bed, or collapse during the day.
Reports of SADS have been increasing in recent weeks. A news.com web piece explains that, ‘Sudden Adult Death Syndrome … is an umbrella term to describe unexpected deaths in young people, usually under 40, when a post-mortem can find no obvious cause of death.’

If anything best defines Justin Trudeau’s post-modern society, it is the politicization of Canada’s social movements. In the year 2022, “everything is political.” The danger of which goes unchecked among our nation’s monolithic media.
Since the advent of Justin Trudeau as prime minister, the phenomenon has become inclusive within elements of society that once stood outside the political realm.
The interim leader of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) pushed back at CTV News journalist Evan Solomon after he repeated false claims about the Freedom Convoy.
During an interview with CTV Question Period on Saturday, Bergen told Solomon that unvaccinated people don’t deserve to be called names and reminded him her job is to “listen” to Canadians.
Solomon incorrectly stated that the Freedom Convoy protesters were anti-democratic. Bergen reminded him that the police didn’t lay any sedition charges against protesters.
Another application launched by the Trudeau government tracked the location of nearly one million Canadians.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Environment admitted in a recent Inquiry of Ministry that the WeatherCAN application collected personal information of Canadians – including locations and email addresses of users.
Nothing demonstrates unconditional love for your children more than using them as props at a pro-abortion rally, making them stand next to a sign that says you wish they were never even born. 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/hfE3OAQUeW

On Friday morning, the Supreme Court ended constitutional protection for abortion by overturning its landmark Roe v. Wade decision. Many Democrats are not responding well.
After the decision’s release, Democratic elected officials, media members, and activists quickly assembled to delegitimize the Court and urge their supporters to take to the streets. As a result, the Washington Free Beacon compiled a list of the craziest liberal reactions to Roe‘s reversal.
The announcement comes on the heels of the arrest of a left-wing extremist outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh earlier this month for allegedly trying to assassinate him and after more than 20 pregnancy resource centers and offices of pro-life groups have been attacked or vandalized in recent weeks.
Democrat senators rushed to send a letter to President Joe Biden Saturday night urging him to use the “full force of the federal government” to stop states from enacting abortion bans and restrictions.
The letter, signed by 33 senators, is a desperate attempt by Democrats to circumvent the Supreme Courts decision in overturning Roe v. Wade.
Biden has stated on numerous occasions that he is considering executive actions to protect abortions but provided no specifics.
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Moussa Tolofidie didn’t think twice when nearly 100 jihadis on motorbikes gathered in his village in central Mali last week.
A peace agreement signed last year between some armed groups and the community in the Bankass area had largely held, even if the gunmen would sometimes enter the town to preach Shariah to the villagers. But on this Sunday in June, everything changed — the jihadis began killing people.
“They started with an old man about 100 years old … then the sounds of the weapons began to intensify around me and then at one moment I heard a bullet whistling behind my ear. I felt the earth spinning, I lost consciousness and fell to the ground,” Tolofidie, a 28-year-old farmer told The Associated Press by phone Friday in Mopti town, where he was receiving medical care.
The following are among the abuses Muslims inflicted on Christians throughout the month of May 2022:
Murder and Mayhem in Nigeria:
On May 12, the Islamic State in Nigeria released a video of its members slaughtering 20 Christians. The ISIS terrorists were dressed in black, which covered everything but their eyes. In the video, the Christians appear on their knees, their hands tied behind their backs. A man holding a knife stands behind them. The terrorists claim that the murder of these 20 Christians is “payback” for ISIS leaders killed three months earlier in Syria by the U.S. Although the scene is reminiscent of the 2015 video of another pack of Muslim terrorists slaughtering 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, it received far less media coverage. The 2015 video of the Copts had received six times less media coverage than the killing of a gorilla about the same time. The video of the Nigerian Christians also barely made a peep in the Western media — as if the ritual slaughter of Christians is now so normal, it does not merit a report.
‘Green’ Germany Prepares To Fire Up the Coal Furnaces
Somehow, Germany, a country where the government is firmly committed to “green” energy, is preparing to fire up coal-burning power plants. The move is even more remarkable given that officials stubbornly refuse to restart mothballed nuclear facilities, or even reconsider the timeline for retiring those that remain online. It’s an astonishing situation for a country that very recently boasted that it would soon satisfy all its energy needs with sunshine and cool summer breezes.
RAF vets take to the skies one last time
The hangar is patriotically dressed with tiny flags and a large resin model of a Sunderland bomber. Miniature pilots in its cockpit have painted smiles. Sensible women are handing out buns and tea. Forties jazz plays; I might be in a JB Priestley novel, or at a village fete. The war may never have ended. And dotted around the room, unmistakable, unmistakably old are 48 RAF veterans.
This is Project Propeller, today. Every year, since 1999, it has spirited Royal Air Force vets up in the sky again. Younger pilots come for the war stories, and to say thank you. The vets meet their old comrades.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is either one of the dumbest people ever to trod the Earth, one of the most hypocritical, stupendously fiendish…or some combination of the aforementioned.
Trudeau took to Twitter recently to solemnly state: “The news coming out of the United States is horrific. My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.”
Four Takeaways From a Times Investigation Into China’s Expanding Surveillance State
China’s ambition to collect a staggering amount of personal data from everyday citizens is more expansive than previously known, a Times investigation has found. Phone-tracking devices are now everywhere. The police are creating some of the largest DNA databases in the world. And the authorities are building upon facial recognition technology to collect voice prints from the general public.
There were many seen and unseen forces that contributed to the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, but a large part of the credit for the U.S. Supreme Court finally overruling Roe v. Wade goes to former President Donald Trump for nominating solid justices who could see an “egregiously wrong” decision as something that desperately needed to be undone.
Without Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett who, despite facing an intense intimidation campaign from openly violent leftists, stood behind the judicial belief that there is no constitutional right to abortion, Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas wouldn’t have had the backup they needed to overturn 50 years of an “exceptionally weak” ruling that had “damaging consequences” on Americans for years.
The pledge to make Ukraine an EU member is nothing more than a virtue-signal.
It’s been quite the performance from the European Union. Just over a week ago, the leaders of the EU’s dominant nations – Germany, France and Italy – enjoyed a day out in Kyiv, posing alongside Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and pledging to support his nation’s quest to join what German chancellor Olaf Scholz called ‘the European family’. This little Ukrainian jaunt, it turned out, was a mere prelude for the EU’s big announcement on Thursday evening. That was when the 27-nation bloc announced that it had finally decided to accept Ukraine’s most recent application for EU membership, made at the start of the war, and grant it ‘candidate’ status. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, dressed in the Ukrainian colours, called Ukraine’s candidature ‘a good day for Europe’. Moldova has also been granted candidate status, but that now seems like a mere afterthought.
Ex-Raiders player Warren Sapp has finally said what has apparently been a guarded secret in the Raiders camp when he revealed that Colin Kaepernick’s workout with the team was a “disaster.”
Benjamin Dichter, the free-thinking, radical nonconformist at the heart of Canada’s trucker protests, continues a long history of Jewish social activism
For two weeks this past February, Benjamin Dichter was thrust into the absurdist spotlight of modern political celebrity. A trucker-led convoy opposed to Canada’s digital COVID vaccine passport system had paralyzed downtown Ottawa, inspired the wildcat occupation and shutdown of several U.S.-Canadian border crossings, and provoked a quasi-authoritarian response from the Canadian government, which forcibly dispersed the protesters’ encampment, jailed the movement’s leaders, summarily froze their bank accounts, and seized, blocked, or escrowed nearly all of the estimated $20 million in non-bitcoin-based funds they’d raised. As chief media spokesman for the so-called Freedom Convoy, Dichter was the public face of one side of a shocking Canadian civic crackup. Depending on your point of view, the Freedom Convoy was either the unexpected culmination of the developed world’s COVID-era class war and a dark vision of the technocratic liberal state’s oppressive game plan, or an event that showed how easily marching hordes of ignorant and hateful populists could rise from the fringes to hijack a modern democracy. Dichter became the face of the former camp; the latter belonged to Justin Trudeau, dreamboat liberal champion and head of government of a country of 38 million people.
