It’s time for your red pill. Something smells rotten in Ukraine. The story is rotten, rancid, hinky; the story just doesn’t add up.
President Joe Biden and the media desperately want you to believe Russia is the bad guy and Ukraine is a little angel. They want you to fall in love with underdog Ukraine. They want you to support America getting involved on behalf of Ukraine.
On the side of Soros?
A police task force has seized some of the cryptocurrency from a donation drive in support of the Ottawa trucker protests, one of the proponents of the fundraiser revealed in court documents filed on Tuesday.
Nicholas St. Louis, an Ottawa man who previously described himself as the “bitcoin team lead” for the protests, said in an affidavit that police executed a search warrant on him on Feb. 28. He said the warrant had been sealed by a court.
The Biden administration will not resume construction on the Keystone XL pipeline, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday.
“There are no plans for that,” Ms. Psaki said of restarting construction. “It would not address any of the problems that we are currently having.”
The pipeline would have brought as much as 700,000 barrels of oil per day into the U.S. from Canada. Republicans and some Canadian officials have called to restart construction on the halted project as the U.S. seeks to boost its oil supply and gas prices push toward $5.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s humiliation for past scandals and his handling of the Freedom Convoy continued last week at the hands of American comedian Andrew Schulz.
Schulz performed at Toronto’s Meridian Hall where he dedicated a segment of his show to ridiculing Trudeau for his ongoing missteps.
So imagine you’re Zoë Kravitz… You’re 33 years old, your father is Lenny Kravitz, your mother is Lisa Bonet, you grew up wealthy, privileged, pampered, and beautiful, and thanks in no small part to being born on third base, you’ve been working steadily as an actress for 15 years. Then it happens, it finally happens… Your dream comes true, the dream of every dreamer in Hollywood…
The Ukraine War isn’t going well for anybody, but it seems like the country making the biggest mistakes is the biggest country not even fighting there.
Yeah, that’s the United States, led, as it were, by Presidentish Joe Biden.
There’s also an undercurrent of progressives hellbent on starting World War III, but we’ll get to them shortly.
Scientists have found and filmed one of the greatest ever undiscovered shipwrecks 107 years after it sank.
The Endurance, the lost vessel of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was found at the weekend at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.
The ship was crushed by sea-ice and sank in 1915, forcing Shackleton and his men to make an astonishing escape on foot and in small boats.
Video of the remains show Endurance to be in remarkable condition.
… What everyone can see is that the great power status of the United States, already badly damaged by the Biden administration over the past 14 months, has been damaged even more. The US has not deterred Russia from acting in Ukraine, and has not even slowed down or interrupted Russia’s aggression. There was no “resolute, massive, and united Transatlantic response.” There has not even been a resolute and massive American response.
Florida’s Republican-dominated legislature passed a bill Tuesday to forbid instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, rejecting a wave of criticism from Democrats that it marginalizes LGBTQ people.
The world, both physical and digital, finds itself in unprecedented times as the conflict in Ukraine rages.
Corporate giants such as Meta, Google and Apple, who have always framed themselves as neutral tech firms, are now pinning their political colours to the mast – banning products in Russia in response to its invasion.
Meanwhile the internet itself is changing for Russian users – with Twitter and Facebook blocked, TikTok not allowing Russian users to post, and the police reportedly stopping people in the streets to look at what they are viewing on their phones.
Licence plate stickers in Ontario are destined for the ash heap of history, thanks to the Ford government’s commitment to repeal those pesky annual fees.
Families are facing rampant inflation and soaring living costs. Premier Doug Ford’s announcement will save the typical two-car family $240 a year.
It’s a good first step, and now the Ford government needs to deliver much more substantial relief.
Videos circulating on social media of captured Russian soldiers calling their families and denouncing the invasion of Ukraine may be contributing to the violation of international law about how prisoners of war should be treated.
“You may not publish pictures of prisoners of war where they can be recognized,” said Marco Sassoli, a professor of international law at the University of Geneva and a special advisor on international humanitarian law to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. “And obviously [in these cases], they can be recognized.”
This is a diary of the events, with the oldest at the top.
Note: I have been at least temporarily banned from Instagram, possibly on account of accessing Instagram too often. I have 24 hours since this happened yesterday to wait to see if it will be permanent. As you can see from the number of photos with no links (excluding the cartoon) I cannot continue if the ban is permanent.
Note 2: Instagram briefly permitted access. I was able to fill in a couple of links. But I have been banned permanently and have requested a review. I have not done anything except (I presume) accessing it too much. For example, in some cases I would repeatedly check a link to get the all the information. It would have been better to access the link just once, but I had no idea this was a problem. If I had decided just to post without crediting the photographer with a link I would likely have been OK.
Note 3: I have four in reserve. The last post will be March 14 if I am not reinstated. I could probably continue a bit longer using my stored data, but I have had enough.
Note: Still banned. Working off photos I prepared before the ban. I appealed the ban and received this bizarre email, to which I have not responded. I am unsure what to do.

At the time of the ban I had four or five days of data stored ahead. Thus there are a few more posts. Photos that are from Instagram have no links in the description. The other sources are 500px and Flickr. There are not enough photos at these two sources to continue with them alone.
Note that 100% of the pet photos are from Instagram.
Toronto’s top doctor is recommending that the city drop its mask bylaw at the same time as the province, allowing the requirement to be lifted for most settings in less than two weeks’ time.
Toronto’s mask bylaw wasn’t supposed to expire until April 8 but in a report that is being considered by city council today, Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa recommends that the bylaw be revoked as soon as the province lifts its mandate.
