Liberal MP caught on camera — again — during virtual House of Commons
Liberal MP William Amos has once again been caught unawares on webcam.
Amos said in a statement posted to Twitter that while he was taking part in a virtual session of the House of Commons the previous day, he “urinated without realizing (he) was on camera.”
There is no monopoly on discrimination. In the Jewish world, we have stood up throughout history for freedom and civil rights. Our people have proudly walked with every modern-day liberation movement, including participating in and supporting Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement, the feminist movement and most recently the LGBTQ2 movement. We are proud leaders in the promotion of social welfare policies and legal and ethical rights. Upholding Jewish values, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for instance, is fondly remembered for fighting against gender discrimination and became the first tenured female at Columbia Law School.
The embattled co-founder of Black Lives Matter announced on Thursday that she’s resigning as executive director amid criticism over her lavish lifestyle.
Patrisse Cullors, 37 — who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years — said she is leaving to focus on a book and TV deal.
Her last day with the foundation is Friday.
Researchers with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute have been tracking the “misery” unleashed by the pandemic – not just by COVID-19, but by governments’ responses to it. Health statistician and economist Prof. Richard Audas joined The Andrew Lawton Show to break down his findings.
“A man stabbed a municipal policewoman several times in the premises of the municipal police in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, in Loire-Atlantique. The policewoman is seriously injured. The suspect, known for radicalization, was arrested by the gendarmes and seriously injured during the operation.
…The suspect was arrested by the gendarmes a few hours later. Three gendarmes were injured during this operation. The suspect, armed, was seriously injured. According to reports from Europe 1, he is known to be radicalized and was released from prison a few weeks ago. This man, of French nationality, radicalized in prison and is registered with the FSPRT (file of reports for the prevention of terrorist radicalization). His release was validated by the Loire-Atlantique departmental assessment group. The suspect, who has a psychiatric history, had undertaken to undergo therapeutic treatment.”
Trudeau advisor and former bank governor Mark Carney, who was recently featured as a keynote speaker at the 2021 Liberal convention, appeared during the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology on Thursday, where he could not answer if he believed there was an ongoing genocide taking place in China’s Xinjiang region against the region’s Uyghur minority.

Federal New Democrats are ensuring the survival of a key piece of Liberal legislation aimed at keeping Canada accountable to its target of achieving net-zero carbon-related emissions by mid-century.
Parliamentarians are currently discussing Bill C-12 at a committee voting on a series of changes to the proposed climate law tabled late last year.
If passed, it would see Canada set rolling five-year targets to slash emissions of heat-trapping, climate-change-causing greenhouse gases, stopping in 2050.
Why does the Left seem so constantly aggrieved, so endlessly indignant, so monotonously enraged when there is so much in the world to be grateful for?
The prevailing wisdom among politicians is that the voters are not likely to want to know how their government actually works. The same wisdom implies that the collective eyes glaze over when faced with information regarding the same. After all, it is the job of our MP’s and Senator’s to perform these functions. Therefore, you seldom see long and in-depth information on such coming from political types.
Canada Post said in a statement Wednesday that one of its suppliers, Commport Communications, had its systems compromised in a cyberattack.
Commport is what’s known as an electronic data interchange supplier, which means it manages the shipping manifest data of large-parcel business customers. Its system has access to information like names and addresses of senders and receivers when large parcels are shipped.
The company says 44 of the largest shippers in Canada were included, and the cyberattack got information on shipments that happened between July 2016 and March 2019.
Canada Post says 97 per cent of the information stolen was names and addresses. In three per cent of the cases, phone numbers and email addresses were taken.
Canada’s moon plans keep getting more ambitious.
The nation will develop a robotic lunar rover in partnership with NASA and launch it by 2026, François-Philippe Champagne, Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced on Wednesday (May 26).
The top UN human rights body on Thursday passed a resolution aimed to intensify scrutiny of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, after the UN rights chief said Israeli forces may have committed war crimes and faulted the militant group Hamas for violations of international law in their 11-day war this month.
Vote margins in many of the areas receiving CTCL funding showed increased Democratic voter turnout, part of a strategy to boost the margins enough in Democrat-friendly areas to overcome Republican margins.
Michael Capuzzo, a New York Times best-selling author , has just published an article titled “The Drug That Cracked Covid”. The 15-page article chronicles the gargantuan struggle being waged by frontline doctors on all continents to get ivermectin approved as a Covid-19 treatment, as well as the tireless efforts by reporters, media outlets and social media companies to thwart them.
Because of ivermectin, Capuzzo says, there are “hundreds of thousands, actually millions, of people around the world, from Uttar Pradesh in India to Peru to Brazil, who are living and not dying.” Yet media outlets have done all they can to “debunk” the notion that ivermectin may serve as an effective, easily accessible and affordable treatment for Covid-19. They have parroted the arguments laid out by health regulators around the world that there just isn’t enough evidence to justify its use.
Thank you to Washington Post columnist Charles Lane for a sane perspective of the recent Hamas-Israel conflict in an otherwise insane world Mr. Lane’s level-headed op-ed really provides more news than in the news reporting part of the newspaper. His statement that Hamas “shooting unguided explosives toward civilian populations violates all the norms of warfare” should be in every article on this conflict, but sadly, it is not. Lane continues that the 4,000 Hamas rockets were “more than 4,000 war crimes, or an average of 363 per day.”
But the internet won’t allow it.
Everyone knows hate is the exclusive domain of the right, right? I mean, I’ve seen MSNBC, and truth-teller Joy Reid would never lie, nor would the gang at Morning Joe. I’ve also watched CNN, where Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon have assured me the only lies in media come from conservatives. That means it must be true, because they’ve won journalism awards, and they don’t give those out to just anyone…only to just about everyone.
Instagram activists have turned false narratives into deadly fantasies
In July 2005, Mohammed Bouyeri stood trial for the murder of Theo van Gogh. A year earlier, in broad daylight on a street in Amsterdam, he shot Theo eight times, and then attempted to decapitate him. Theo’s crime, for which Bouyeri meted out a death sentence, was a simple one: he had chosen to direct a film, Submission, that addressed the mistreatment of women under Islam.
I wrote the script for that film — so Bouyeri pinned a note to Theo’s chest when he killed him, declaring that I would be next.
Cartoons of Muhammad have now been banned from the school’s teaching materials.
A teacher at Batley grammar school in Yorkshire was suspended from work in March. He was forced into hiding, fearing for his life after receiving death threats. All he did was show pupils a cartoon of Muhammad, as part of a lesson about free speech and blasphemy.
A mob of religious conservatives gathered outside his school to protest against the cartoon. The school obliged them and duly punished the teacher. The head apologised for the teacher’s actions and sent pupils home early for the Easter break.
The Spanish postal service has introduced a set of skin-toned stamps: the darker the stamp, the lower the value. Though aimed at defending “diversity, inclusion and equal rights,” the campaign has been mocked as “tone deaf.”
