If you ask military strategists where they think the next global conflict could be sparked, most of them will tell you the South China Sea. The novel 2034 , co-authored by retired U.S. Navy Admiral James Stavridis, offers a possible scenario of the third world war breaking out after China attempts an invasion of Taiwan.
Earlier this month a study out of Israel found that the risk for COVID mortality rates lowers significantly thanks to simple, plain old Aspirin. Now, major media outlets are going on the offensive against Aspirin in an attempt to dissuade people from using it for heart attack prevention.
Canada’s system of fiscal federalism and equalization is fundamentally broken and Albertans are finally being given the chance to do something about it.
During next week’s municipal elections, Albertans will have the rare opportunity to participate in direct democracy and vote on the fairness of Canada’s equalization program. Specifically, they will be asked whether equalization payments should be removed from the constitution.
Australia has already established itself as the most draconian western nation when it comes to Covid “vaccine” requirements and unreasonable lockdowns. Now, Northern Territory has announced the worst mandates to date that will require pretty much anyone who comes in contact with others to be vaccinated within a month or face a $5000 fine.
According to Daphne Keller, Director of the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center, Canada’s proposal “is like a list of the worst ideas around the world.”
“As organizations and individuals with expertise in anti-racism, we are profoundly concerned by the government’s proposed online harms legislation.”
If they were being honest, I bet most politicians in Canada would admit that even they were surprised how malleable much of the public has proven to be.
No amount of hypocrisy or shifting narratives seems to stop a large number of Canadians from succumbing to fear-based appeals on the ‘need’ to restrict our rights and freedoms.
According to the TDSB’s Annual Report 2021: Climate Action, the guide is “designed to support youth in mobilizing their communities towards climate action.”
This is reckless. We should not be urging Canadian businesses to ‘seize opportunities’ in a country that kidnaps our citizens and is becoming increasingly aggressive. We should be urging them to do more business with our peaceful partners instead. https://t.co/j7KHIl1yGg

“U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth of Washington acted after finding jail officials failed to turn over information needed to approve surgery recommended four months ago for a Jan. 6 Capitol riot defendant’s broken wrist,” The Washington Post reported. “The failure of D.C. officials to turn over medical records is ‘more than just inept and bureaucratic jostling of papers,’ Lamberth said in a hearing, raising the possibility of deliberate mistreatment.”
New questions are being raised about the Biden administration’s controversial decision to buy Chinese drones and drone parts following the revelation that the decision was made over the objections of the Pentagon.
Hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops are still not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 despite approaching mandate deadlines which could result in widespread disciplinary action and discharges, a new report revealed Sunday.
Critics have been calling on Netflix to cancel Dave Chappelle’s new special titled The Closer. However, the Hollywood actor/comedian’s show currently has a 96 percent audience score at Rotten Tomatoes, making it somewhat doubtful that the cancel mob will get their way this time.
Border Force staff who enact Priti Patel’s plans to “ push back” migrant boats in the Channel could be given immunity from conviction if a refugee dies, officials have confirmed.
The home secretary is seeking to introduce a provision in the nationality and borders bill that could give officials legal protections in the event that someone drowns.
Whether the provision, tucked away in an obscure corner of the bill, would actually protect officers from conviction under international maritime laws could be tested in the courts.
The tabloids have had a field day with the revelation that an Insulate Britain activist is married to a director of Transport for London (TfL). Cathy Eastburn of Insulate Britain has been busy trying to bring transport to a standstill. She has been arrested four times for acts such as blocking roads and gluing her hands to a train. Meanwhile, her husband, Benedict Plowden, is in charge of ‘getting London moving after the pandemic’.
The appeal of class war isn’t confined to South Korea
The pivot point of Squid Game, the captivating South Korean miniseries that has become Netflix’s most popular series at launch, is its second episode. By now the premise has been vividly established: 456 financially desperate people have been transported to a private island to compete in a series of homicidally souped-up children’s games to win a jackpot of 45.6 billion won (£29 million). The winner takes all; the losers die.
Do you trust the government or other people?
Hardly a week goes by without another Democrat mayor, San Fran’s Breed or D.C.’s Bowser, another Democrat member of Congress like Tlaib or Pelosi, or even Joe Biden, flouting their own mask mandates in public. There’s also no great reason to believe that they’re abiding by their own vaccine mandates. Not after it was revealed that Governor Newsom, fresh from his French Laundry scandal, hadn’t vaccinated his daughter despite mandating vaccines for children her age. But the more rules there are, the fewer of them apply to the rulers.
Cambridge Students’ Union has published a pro-trans guide claiming that being a woman is not just down to ‘biological sex’.
‘How To Spot TERF Ideology’ accuses feminists who question this mantra as being ‘transphobic’ and suggets they could even be linked to the ‘far right’.
Written by new women’s officer Milo Eyre-Morgan, the guide accuses Terfs – short for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists – of having a ‘narrow definition’ of women.
Comedian Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special, The Closer, has drawn praise from audiences and social media, while eliciting scorn from media reviewers and professional critics over its jokes about the LGBTQ and trans communities. Critics have even gone so far as to label the stand-up special “a betrayal” on Chappelle’s part.
But how far does this divide extend between what appears to be mass audience approval and universal critic disapproval? Rotten Tomatoes, the film critic aggregation site that averages reviews of visual media in film, television, and streaming, has become the latest tool to measure this.
An academic working paper released in the spring outlining the failures of pandemic lockdown policies has been largely ignored by media, says its author.
Douglas Allen, an economics professor at Simon Fraser University, says his study went viral after he posted it in April and he received positive feedback, leading to interviews on podcasts in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia. Even a few politicians reached out, he says.
Walgreens is closing five more San Francisco locations as drug stores from the Bay Area to the Big Apple are besieged by rampant shoplifting and lax enforcement.
San Fran shoplifters have been emboldened by a referendum that lowered the penalty for stealing goods worth less than $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor, cops and prosecutors have said.
This has the navy with their panties in a bunch?
