A top Canadian Jewish group is asking Canada’s Department of National Defense to investigate its training of Ukrainian soldiers after revelations that a neo-Nazi group had infiltrated Ukraine’s military.
A study by the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at George Washington University revealed that members of the Ukrainian military were involved with a far-right group called Centuria.
They were documented giving Nazi salutes, praising members of the SS, and pushing white nationalist ideas.

Chicago Fraternal Order of Police president John Catanzara estimates approximately 3,200 officers are defying the city’s coronavirus vaccine reporting mandate.
Under Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s rules, officers had to confirm their vaccine status or be subjected to unpaid leave by Friday. Unvaccinated officers can stay on the job if they undergo semiweekly testing.

A non-profit legal organization is filing a constitutional challenge in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice against the province’s COVID-19 vaccine passport mandate.
In a statement, Jorge Pineda, staff lawyer at Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom, said Ontario’s vaccine mandates are “ethically wrong” and “illegal,” and the group plans to argue in court that the measures “take away the long-standing rights of citizens to make informed decisions about their own medical care.”

Why is Sir David Amess dead? The proximate explanation of the death of an MP that personified the best of parliamentary service is grimly straightforward: a horrifying act of violence during his weekly Friday meetings with his constituency. But what of the psychological, political, or ideological build-up to that moment? What drove someone to stab a dedicated public servant to death as his horrified constituents looked on?
To have read the British press in recent days is to be left with the impression that Amess’s death was, first and foremost, a consequence of a shortage of civility of British public life.

For months, widespread parent-led uprisings against school boards have pitted everyday mothers and fathers against powerful political bureaucracies. Skirmishes across the country have revealed the radicalism — and ruthlessness — of the educators and administrators who run the American education system.
But none have been as gruesome as that of Scott Smith, the Loudoun County father who became a target of the managerial class that presides over the wealthy northern Virginia suburb.

It the height of delusion to give the Taliban “humanitarian” aid. If anyone deserves our support in Afghanistan, it is Ahmad Massoud.
Since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan on August 15, there has been very little news about the hundreds of American civilians abandoned by President Joe Biden to the mercies of the Taliban and al-Qaeda. One report last week said that about one hundred of those Americans had been flown out to Qatar, but there is no confirmation of that report.

Five people killed in Norway last week were all stabbed to death and not shot with arrows as initially suspected, police have announced.
Four women and one man, aged between 52 and 78, were killed on Wednesday in the attack in Kongsberg, a town about 45 miles (70km) west of the capital, Oslo.
The attacker was armed with a bow and arrow, which he shot at several people, wounding at least one, but on Monday the police inspector Per Thomas Omholt told reporters none of the deaths was caused by the weapon.

Recent statements by Canada’s ambassador to China, Dominic Barton, that Canada should “seize opportunities in a rising China,” demonstrate that Canada is taking the wrong approach to the PRC. Rather than treating the two Michaels fiasco as a speed bump in an otherwise productive relationship, Canada should view it as an urgent call to divest and scale-down its ties with China.
Gonna be tough to change course, the China Class is well embedded in our political and business classes.

Two Ontario doctors have been barred from issuing medical exemptions for COVID-19 vaccines, masking requirements and testing.
The province’s medical regulator says the restrictions imposed on Dr. Mark Trozzi and Dr. Rochagne Kilian took effect just before midnight Friday.

Former MI6 agent Christopher Steele said during a preview of an ABC News interview that aired on Sunday that he stood behind the controversial “Steele Dossier” that examined possible links between former President Trump and Russia.
The interview will be featured in a Hulu documentary, “Out of the Shadows: The Man Behind the Steele Dossier.”

The propaganda is all so drearily predictable. The establishment media seems to have made it a foremost priority to do everything it can to absolve Islam of all responsibility for crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings. And so it came as no surprise when Yahoo News on Sunday ran a piece by Mark Fathi Massoud, a professor of politics and legal studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz titled “Don’t blame Sharia for Islamic extremism — blame colonialism.” Of course. Really, by now we all know that everything bad in the world is the responsibility of white males. We just need Yahoo News and its colleagues to fill in the details once in a while.
Allison Williams is out at ESPN due to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The college football and basketball sideline reporter, who announced last month she was opting out of the season because she had not received the vaccine as she and her husband tried for a second child, said Friday night that her “request for accommodation” had been denied.
Effective next week, Williams said, she will be “separated from the company.”
Tk'emlups Chief Rosanne Casimir talked about the moment that her community discovered Prime Minister Trudeau had taken a vacation on Canada's first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
