President Joe Biden has condemned the “poison” of white supremacy in the “body politic” of the United States after an 18-year-old white gunman killed 10 people on Saturday at a market in a predominantly Black neighbourhood of Buffalo in New York State.
As the European Union is trying to revive the stalled talks on restoring Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers, many Arabs are again warning the Biden administration against rushing to strike a deal with the mullahs, saying this could jeopardize Washington’s relations with its Arab allies in the Middle East.
The Arabs are saying that they cannot understand why Biden is prepared to allow Iran’s mullahs to “humiliate” the US by setting their own conditions for restoring the nuclear agreement, including the demand to remove the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the list of terrorist organizations.
The sounds of war have become louder in Belgorod, a mid-sized Russian city about 25 miles (40km) from the Ukrainian border. And the blasts are more frequent.
“On Sunday, we were woken up again by explosions. You never know if it’s them or us firing,” said Vladimir, a shopkeeper in the city.
Locals such as Vladimir first witnessed Russia’s military buildup at the start of the year, when thousands of troops amassed near Belgorod prior to Moscow’s attack in late February.
With recent revelations that neither the RCMP nor the Ottawa police requested that the federal government invoke the Emergencies Act, Conservative interim leader Candice Bergen said the Liberals’ argument for invoking the order is “very quickly falling apart.”
Both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino have repeatedly said the act was invoked based on advice received from law enforcement.
“The Liberals are simply not telling Canadians the truth.
If only Old Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board had been in place to protect the Disinformation Governance Board! The ardently partisan Biden wonk who had been all set to be crowned America’s Disinformation Czarina, Nina Jankowicz, appeared on MSNBC’s “All In” Wednesday to lament that the coronation has now been “paused,” and it’s all the fault of those evil right-wingers who had the temerity to be concerned that a government agency dedicated to combating “disinformation” could all too easily become a tool of authoritarians who wished to quash dissent. Jankowicz is shocked, shocked, that anyone could have thought that at all, and finds it “ironic” that disinformation killed the Disinformation Board. If only it had been up and running to silence and punish the miscreants.
Canada is set to announce it will ban China’s Huawei from participating in the country’s 5G wireless network, CTV News has confirmed.
Montreal’s top public health official is urging people not to panic as her department investigates 17 cases of suspected monkeypox in the greater Montreal region.
At a news conference Thursday morning, Dr. Mylène Drouin said there are 15 suspected cases on the island of Montreal, one on the South Shore and another north of Laval.
What is monkeypox?
The Men’s Rights Movement was born to weigh in on cases like Johnny Depp’s. The movement gained prominence during the Seventies and Eighties in response to what some men saw as preferential treatment of women in family court cases, especially where custody arrangements, alimony, and divorce settlements were concerned. As the historic injustices faced by women gained more attention in the media, legal system, and politics, these men organised to cry, What About Us?
Indigenous leaders met Prince Charles in Canada and asked for an apology from the Queen over the “assimilation and genocide” of indigenous schoolchildren.
RoseAnne Archibald, Assembly of First Nations national chief, said the prince “acknowledged” failures in handling the relationship with indigenous people.
Canada is dealing with a scandal which saw indigenous children die or be abused in residential schools.
I don’t see GB giving up its Royal tradition but I wonder if the Firm will cut all foreign ties of their own initiative. It must be a lot of bother being heckled everywhere you go and the woke nagging just isn’t playing well.
Constitutional monarchy serves us well — but its figureheads have a serious image problem
There was some tittering on the Internet last week when Prince Charles, opening a new session of the British Parliament on behalf of his ailing mother, relayed the government’s commitment to helping “ease the cost of living for families” while sitting upon a golden throne.
In fairness to Charles, he was only doing his job. For that matter, a case can be made that the event at the Palace of Westminster — what’s called the Queen’s Speech in the United Kingdom and the Speech from the Throne in Canada — was actually less ridiculous than the self-aggrandizing and airy State of the Union address the American president delivers each year.
It’s time that progressive politicians condemn left-wing extremist violence with the same lack of equivocation as most conservatives denounce right-wing extremism
Former Conservative minister and senior RBC executive Michael Fortier and his family were asleep in their Montreal home at 1:30 a.m. on May 4, when he was woken by a neighbour banging on his drain pipe to warn him that the Jaguar and Land Rover parked in the driveway were on fire.
Well John that would require that your associates in the media also condemn “left-wing violence” and call out progressive politicians when they fail to do so. Facts are that the media for the most part are willing minions of the political class that seeks to criminalize “right-wing views.” Antifa, BLM, the Eco-Terrorists etc are their foot soldiers and they will continue to willingly turn a blind eye.
The Taliban have ordered female Afghan TV presenters to cover their faces while on air.
Media outlets were told of the decree on Wednesday, a religious police spokesman told BBC Pashto.
The ruling comes two weeks after all women were ordered to wear a face veil in public, or face punishment.
Restrictions on women are being tightened – they are banned from travelling without male relatives and secondary schools are shut for girls.
Can’t they just rub Malala’s head and make it all go away?
At a former paintball park in west Ukraine, Canadian, British and American military instructors were putting two dozen recruits through a warm-up drill.
“Breathe!” a U.S. army veteran told the trainees, who lay prone in the ankle-high grass, aiming their AK-47 rifles at the treeline.
“Keep your fingers on those triggers!”
The instructors were members of the Wolverines, a group started by international veterans who have been quietly operating in Ukraine.
After initial hesitation about the seriousness of Turkey’s objections, its president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has doubled down on his threat to veto Finland’s and Sweden’s applications for membership of Nato, saying there is no point in either country sending delegations to Ankara to persuade him otherwise.
On Wednesday, he also extended his demands from the two he outlined on Monday to 10, leading to claims that he is using blackmail.
It’s one of the (dis)advantages of being an antique that you can recall a time when Canada had a $2 bill. There was a time when we had $1 bills, too, but that was even a longer time ago — co-incident I believe with the fall of the Ming dynasty in China — and not even I go back that far.
Measures akin to a COVID lockdown are needed in order to curb the EU’s reliance on Russian oil, one member state has said.
Lockdown-like measures should be implemented across the European Union to curb the bloc’s reliance on Russian oil, Luxembourg’s energy minister has said.
The demand comes as the transnational bloc prepares to publish a plan aimed at weaning the EU off of fossil fuels supplied from Russia, with some nation-states such as Germany being badly addicted to the likes of natural gas provided by the state.
Luxembourg? Isn’t that next to the Grand Duchy of Fenwick? I bet it’s a wet dream to Justin though.
