I agree that some things are so strange, so vagrant, that they are at least very difficult to ignore. Nearly impossible to walk by or pretend they haven’t happened.
Imagine a person in a powerful position — ok, let’s uncoil the whole rope. Imagine a Member of Parliament treating his office as if it were an out station for a nudist colony, and who went all Adam, full starkers, while communing with other MPs on the Zoom machine. They were wearing clothes.
Cree lawyer Eleanore Sunchild has represented thousands of residential school survivors in Saskatchewan and other provinces.
Sunchild spoke with the CBC reporter Jason Warick about the recent announcement by the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation that it had discovered unmarked burial sites believed to contain 215 bodies near the former Kamloops, B.C., Indian residential school.
Sunchild planned to attend a vigil in North Battleford, Sask., Monday evening for these children and others who died attending other schools.
Native activist Pam Palmater used the word genocide so often in a recent interview that you’d be passed out drunk in less than 10 minutes were it a drinking game.
Technology uncovered remains at B.C. residential school but secrets still remain beneath the soil
“It’s not going to give you a black-and-white answer, but it’s going to pinpoint to the right direction most of the time. It’s not an exact survey,” GeoScan lead technician Peter Takacs said.
While some conclusions can be drawn from the data, experts in the field say there’s only one way to get 100 per cent certainty.
“You would have to dig,” Takacs said. “You would have to do a proper investigation. Nothing will essentially give you better results than daylighting.”
Roughly three-quarters of firearms seized by Toronto Police this year are illegal for Canadians to purchase, own or possess.
With 2021 approaching its halfway point, information gleaned from the Toronto Police Service Guns Seized Twitter account suggests 63 of the 86 firearms purportedly seized by cops so far this year were considered prohibited firearms under Canadian regulations.

Is it all Greek to you? Coronavirus variants get new names
Coronavirus variants with clunky, alphanumeric names have now been assigned the letters of the Greek alphabet to simplify discussion and pronunciation while avoiding stigma.
The World Health Organization revealed the new names on Monday amid criticism that those given by scientists to strains such as the South African variant – which goes by multiple names including B.1.351, 501Y.V2 and 20H/501Y.V2 – were too complicated.
Canada to recommend mixing and matching AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines
Canada is changing its guidelines on mixing and matching second doses of COVID-19 vaccines and will advise Canadians to combine either the AstraZeneca-Oxford, Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna shots interchangeably in certain situations.
New York City has devolved from a once-thriving metropolis into a crime-infested slum thanks to the disastrous leadership of Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio and the left’s destructive anti-police rhetoric.
China has set up a sophisticated network in this country to harass people of Chinese ethnicity and Uyghur- and Tibetan-Canadians, distort information in the media, influence politicians and form partnerships with universities to secure intellectual property, a new study says.
A report by Alliance Canada Hong Kong (ACHK) that was tabled on Monday evening at the special House of Commons committee on Canada-China relations warns that the influence operations by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are widespread, but have gone largely unnoticed. Alliance Canada Hong Kong is an umbrella group for Hong Kong pro-democracy advocates in this country.
Quislings abound.
The mayors of Canada’s biggest cities are pressing the federal government to lay out a path to help house urban Indigenous people as part of a larger push to address homelessness in this country.
India has been suffering horrendously from COVID of late, and the complete death toll may never be known. But in the capital city of Delhi, mass distribution of ivermectin began and the results have been stunning.
Last week, Conservative MP Candice Bergen asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau why scientists at the Winnipeg infectious-diseases laboratory had been collaborating with Chinese military scientists. Two Canadian scientists have been fired from the lab, so Ms. Bergen’s question was reasonable. Mr. Trudeau’s response was not.
“The rise in anti-Asian racism we have been seeing over the past number of months should be of concern to everyone,” Mr. Trudeau replied, from left field. “I would recommend that the members of the Conservative Party, in their zeal to make personal attacks, not start to push too far into intolerance toward Canadians of diverse origins.”
Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows teased what he may know about the Biden family’s business dealings during an interview Wednesday on Newsmax.
“I can tell you, there is more to come with Hunter Biden,” Meadows told host Grant Stinchfield.
“It’s amazing how Joe Biden and Hunter Biden actually had a quid pro quo, and to accuse President Trump of using his influence to enrich his family was just not accurate,” Meadows added. “And now, what we’re seeing is perhaps the real influence-peddling that took place was by then-Vice President Joe Biden.”
Everything wrong with journalism today can be summed up in one remarkable news story: the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a lab in China.
Have you ever heard of an AG calling a private citizen and asking them to quit looking into something?!

The minimum wage in British Columbia jumps to $15.20 an hour on June 1, making it the highest rate of any province in Canada.
The actions taken by Dr. Phillips and his colleagues to not only speak truth to the government’s lockdown narrative under the threat of sanction, but ultimately serve the best interest of their patients are nothing short of heroic.
“We are looking for how we can support Indigenous communities in their grief and in their request for answers,” Trudeau said during a Monday press conference.
The reporters and commentators who did this weren’t reporting news; they were advancing a political “narrative,” acting like the 27-year-old reporters who know “nothing,” as Obama-era spinmeister Ben Rhodes once contemptuously said of them. They were boobs in the service of charlatans, and yes, they do have egg all over their faces. They can wear that as a badge of honor in the service of Democrats and show it to all their crummy little friends.
Our institutions aren’t what they once were. Opinion polls show overwhelmingly that trust in the government, in Congress, and in business has fallen in previous years and remains low. One exception, however, is the military, which is consistently among our most respected institutions. This reputation has been hard-won, over decades of apolitical service to the nation. Americans recognize that service by honoring our servicemen and women and extending our armed forces enormous respect and deference.
Yet that legacy is now under attack. Our servicemen and women are the same selfless servants of our American republic that they have always been, but there is a growing movement among the climbers and the bureaucrats at the Department of Defense to turn the military into a tool of left-wing ideology.
During Sunday’s broadcast of FNC’s “The Next Revolution,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) contrasted the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, noting the trend to “stifle” thought underway within the Democratic Party.
