Four Taliban members swapped for Bowe Bergdahl now in Afghan government

Four of the five Taliban members released from Guantanamo Bay by the Obama administration in 2014 in exchange for admitted US Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl are part of the Islamic fundamentalist group’s new hardline government in Afghanistan, according to local media reports.

The four members of the so-called “Taliban Five” who have joined the new government are Acting Director of Intelligence Abdul Haq Wasiq, Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Norullah Noori, Deputy Defense Minister Mohammad Fazl, and Acting Minister of Information and Culture Khairullah Khairkhah. The fifth member of the Taliban Five, Mohammad Nabi Omari, was appointed governor of eastern Khost Province last month.

Corbella: The vaccine hesitant are typically 40-something women in Ontario who tend to vote Liberal

Justin just shit himself.

… According to Abacus Data, in a 30,000-person poll taken over months, the typical vaccine hesitant Canadian is a 42-year-old Ontario woman who votes Liberal.

As Abacus chair Bruce Anderson wrote in an Aug. 11 Maclean’s magazine article, “almost half of (the vaccine hesitant, 46 per cent) live in Ontario and well over half of them (59 per cent) are women. A quarter were born outside Canada. Their average age is 42 and the plurality are between 30 and 44 years old. If they were voting in a federal election today, 35 per cent would vote Liberal, 25 per cent Conservative, 17 per cent NDP, nine per cent Green — pretty similar to overall voting intentions for the entire population.”

In the Run-Up to the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, Media Pushing Stories About How Muslims Were the Real Victims

Saturday marks twenty years since Islamic jihadis attacked New York City and Washington, and the establishment media is doing all it can to ensure that Americans grasp the true significance of those attacks: not that America was hit by a global jihad that has only gained in strength since then and could hit us again, but that Muslims were and are the true victims of that fateful day. In the last few days, the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press have published lengthy pieces to that effect, and more in this vein is certain to come this week.

David Staples: Canada can no longer do the big, important things. Can Erin O’Toole change that?

It’s what we fear that largely propels how we will vote on election day. For this reason, political leaders are constantly mashing on the fear button.

It’s why Justin Trudeau brings up abortion, gun control and unruly mobs of angry white voters. He hopes to drum up fear about Erin O’Toole and the Conservatives. He does it because it works and I get the tactic, in part because I am driven in part by fear myself.


No.

Canada is being slowly strangled to death. Quebec is an extortive albatross and few in the ROC could care less if they left. The Maritimes have long been a federal welfare case and mostly vote accordingly. Ontario exists only as woke Toronto and that is not a good neighborhood. The divisions widen daily, oil rich provinces versus the virtue signaling eco-taliban, socialists versus the other socialists versus the minority of conservatives. An elite as destructive and corrupt as any to be found anywhere continues to force mass immigration and weaponized multiculturalism down our throats, all the better to enrich themselves and impoverish the rest of us. Consequently our social fabric has been torn to shreds.

We are reduced to tribes scrambling for crumbs.

Gradually and then all at once Trudeau’s vision will be realized and Canada will be the world’s first post-modern state. Unfortunately that entails being a failed state.

That’s why we can’t do the “Big Important Things.”

The Bizarre Civil War-Stoking Impulses of the Professional-Managerial Class in the US

A couple of years ago, when Lambert would talk about professional pundits and official Democratic spokescritters behaving as if they were trying to stoke civil war in the US, I thought he’d been spending too much time on Twitter and might benefit from a dose of smelling salts. It now looks like he was correct, albeit so early it was still possible that the impulse could have fizzled out or moved in another direction.

One of the reasons it’s hard to talk about this obvious yet diffuse and multifaceted development of actively fomenting class hatred is that it doesn’t fall tidily along demographic lines, as much as some factions would like to have you believe otherwise. It’s psychographic.

Hatred of The Other was supposed to a hallmark of the uneducated, provincial, and intolerant. Yet we now see bloody, vicious fantasies about what should happen to Them for being wrong-thinking and wrong-acting being not just voiced freely, but even applauded.

Campaign stop protesters are succeeding in shutting Trudeau’s BS down says Nanos

Look at that! Trudeau is filled with shit!

Protesters at Trudeau’s campaign events are ‘punching above their weight’: Nanos

TORONTO — The small but vocal groups of protesters that have dogged Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau at his political rallies are disrupting his messaging, according to pollster Nik Nanos.

“It’s been a distraction for Trudeau. He’s not been able to get his message out,” Nanos said on Wednesday’s edition of CTV’s Trend Line podcast. “These folks are punching above their weight.”

Could People’s Party of Canada convert social media traction into votes?

The People’s Party of Canada got a handful of its election signs on TV newscasts over the past few hours. The PPC signs were in the background as Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau made his way to the bus in London and got showered by a handful of gravel.

In one shot you can clearly see a sign for Chelsea Hillier, the PPC candidate from Elgin-Middlesex-London. Last night Hillier tweeted “Justin Trudeau had quite the warm welcome tonight in London!” That was last night. Tuesday Hillier’s tone shifted a little.

Ontario reports 554 new Covid cases … and are Kung Flu passports even legal?

Ontario reports 554 new Covid cases … and are Kung Flu passports even legal?

Ontario reports 554 new COVID-19 cases, 16 more deaths

For the second time in the last three days, Ontario is reporting a week-over-week decline in the number of new COVID-19 cases.

Provincial health officials logged 554 new COVID-19 cases today, a notable drop from the 656 infections reported last Wednesday and the 660 cases confirmed two weeks ago.


Legal questions around rights linger as some provinces bring in COVID-19 vaccine passports

Several provinces are entering uncharted waters around the legality of vaccine passports that require patrons of a wide variety of establishments to be fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 shot.

Manitoba and Quebec have brought in vaccine passports in recent weeks, while British Columbia and Ontario announced they would implement such policies beginning later this month. On Tuesday, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey announced the province would follow Quebec’s lead and introduce a vaccination passport that uses a QR code, while Yukon Premier Sandy Silver said the territory was launching an online vaccine credential system. Officials in New Brunswick and P.E.I. have said those provinces will likely also institute their own vaccine passport systems soon.

Governments are permitted under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to limit basic freedoms if they can show why such a limit is reasonable. But there is scant Canadian case law on what is reasonable in a health emergency.

National Archives Places ‘Harmful Language Alert’ On Page Hosting U.S. Constitution.

The alert now appears on many pages on the archives.org website, and links to a page entitled “NARA’s Statement on Potentially Harmful Content,” which they define as:

  • reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes;
  • be discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more;
  • include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more;
  • demonstrate bias and exclusion in institutional collecting and digitization policies.

Bizarrely, the warning does not appear on a page about Jim Crow, which has no fewer than 6 uses of the word “n*gg*r.” Nor does it appear on a page with the word “k*ke.”

Conservative lead growing slightly as Liberal, NDP election campaigns hit wall: poll

The federal election race remains tight, a new poll suggests, but the Conservatives’ momentum appears to be building as the Liberals and NDP campaigns are stalling.

The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found that 35 per cent of decided voters would vote for the Tories, up three points from last week. The Liberals would earn 32 per cent of the vote, up one point, while the NDP went down two points to receive 21 per cent.

Doesn’t appear that Justin has garnered much sympathy support despite being attacked with a couple of pebbles. Try as the media might it was hardly an assassination attempt.

Guns didn’t work, abortion failed, hidden agenda bit the dust, Justin’s laughable call to elect a real “leader” boomeranged.  I expect Justin’s media will label everyone not voting for Trudeau to be the Taliban next. But not the “Changed” Taliban the old “right wing extremist” Taliban.

Even CTV’s Nanos tracker has swung back to a Conservative lead after it showed Justin slightly ahead yesterday.

Will it translate to enough seats for a win? A close call but at this point it’s still likely to end in a diminished LPC minority.

Some people should have small rocks tossed at them…

The State Department and the EU are concerned the all-male Taliban government isn’t diverse enough

Late on Tuesday, a US State Department spokesman said: “We note the announced list of names consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban or their close associates and no women.”


Update – Of course Canada’s Sharia Council of the Woke – CBC News is running with the same idiocy. Funny how they made the Ceeb’s “news” service free for streaming this month. Justin’s propagandists never miss a trick.

Erin O’Toole Betrays Gun Owners Despite Being Ahead in the Polls

The Conservative Party of Canada is currently leading the Liberals by wide margins in the majority of officially published polls so far in the 2021 snap election, and polling aggregators like 338 Canada are also projecting that the Conservative Party will likely win the most seats in Parliament.

In spite of the lead, Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole has been jumping from foot to foot over the past week when it comes to the issue of firearms.
