“London’s streets are not safe for women, are they?” the presenter asked the Labour politician, following news that a serving Metropolitan Police officer has been arrested in connection with the disappearance and presumed murder of a 33-year-old marketing executive.
“No, they aren’t, or for girls,” admitted the mayor, who has been in post and responsible for law and order since May 2016 — his term extended after Coronavirus saw local elections postponed for a year.
The Yukon Resource Gateway Project will provide much needed upgrades to existing transportation infrastructure in two key areas of high mineral potential and active mining. These areas include the Dawson Range and Nahanni Range and includes the upgrade of over 650 kilometres of local road systems and infrastructure providing access to significant areas of mineralization. With these improvements, Canadians and local businesses will be able to benefit from the economic potential of Yukon’s natural resources.
The entire United States military — from the Pentagon on down to the rank and file, including veterans — declared a virtual war on Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson. But they did so based on an intentional misrepresentation of his comments.
The Trudeau Liberals are pressuring the CRTC to enforce rules on streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime to distribute Canadian content. The streaming giants are currently not subjected to Canadian content rules.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D‑Calif.) on Thursday introduced a ban on more than 200 “assault weapons” after the House passed two gun-control measures pertaining to background checks.
Her bill, called the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,” is co-sponsored by 34 Senate Democrats and would ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds—similar to the bans on magazines in New York state and California.
Capitol Police staffing shortfalls prompted the force to request an extension of the National Guard mission for two months, but with a price tag now ballooning past $500 million and no clearly stated threat, the National Guard Association says now it is time for law enforcement to take over.
The district has been working for years on an effort to establish curriculum in all subjects that is seen as inclusive to ensure that students see themselves mirrored in the content they’re learning and also get a window into different perspectives and cultures, said John Rice, Cedar Rapids schools executive director of teaching and learning.
The pandemic and lockdowns are now almost one year old. Despite all the advances we’ve seen in other countries, such as rapid testing, improved therapeutics, and vaccinations, Canadians are forced to endure lockdowns for longer. One of the reasons for this that Justin Trudeau is betting on a half-baked vaccine plan that relies on partnering with the Chinese Communist Party, instead of working with companies right here in western Canada.Z
Months after its introduction, it is fair to say that Bill C-10, the broadcasting reform bill, has not been the government’s finest performance. Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault has made claims about the economic benefits that his own department is unable to support, made inaccurate statements about the inclusion of economic thresholds and news in the bill in the House of Commons, and misleadingly compared his plans to the policies in Europe.
A Canadian vaccine researcher says he believes that Chinese political machinations ended a vaccine partnership last summer.
Dr. Scott Halperin, the director of the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology, made the accusation Thursday to the Special Committee on Canada-China Relations.
The partnership was originally planned to be between China’s CanSino Biologics and the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. CanSino had been given a licence by the National Research Council to use a Canadian biological product as part of a COVID-19 vaccine.
China blocked shipments it was supposed to send to Dalhousie researchers by the end of May 2020 to start human trials.
Pricy, taxy San Francisco has become a crime hellhole, and apparently one person too many has been assaulted or murdered on Soros-financed district attorney Chesa Boudin’s watch with no consequences. Boudin, see, son of leftist terrorists, is refusing to do his job as prosecutor and mostly taking to doing public relations for himself and “restorative justice” for victims, letting all but the most outrageous criminals off scot-free.
Imagine that. Too fecked up even for fecked up San Francisco.
How Communist do you have to get before somebody notices?
In 2013, the Puffin Foundation issued a grant for what was described as a “Soviet Yiddish Songbook”. The CD, later issued as “City of the Future: Yiddish Songs from the Former Soviet Union”, is accurate only in that its songs, like Red Army and The Song of the Collective Farmer, are indeed in Yiddish. Otherwise they’re propaganda for a brutal antisemitic regime that killed countless Jews, including one of the men who wrote the song lyrics, and Yiddish culture.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey has, so far, claimed two scalps. One has been splashed across news websites and newspapers; the other has not.
The first belonged, to Piers Morgan, who was forced to quit Good Morning Britain after six successful if noisy years for daring to express disbelief at a number of the Duchess’s claims. The claiming of the second scalp, however, has attracted far less attention — even though it serves as an equally, if not more, damning parable for our times…
Why on earth are politicians even entertaining such a draconian and inhumane policy?
Apparently, the way to stop violence against women is to keep men locked up indoors.
Green Party peer Jenny Jones has called for a 6pm curfew for men to make women safer, following the murder of Sarah Everard. Speaking in the House of Lords on Wednesday, Jones said the authoritarian policy would reduce ‘discrimination of all kinds’.
Yazidi elders disown former slaves of Islamic State, forcing them to choose between their children and their community
Bundled up in oversized scarves and coats, and squirming over lounge chairs, the 12 young children seemed startled as nine strange women with outstretched arms hurried towards them.
Some of the women sobbed as they embraced the bemused toddlers, who stared at them blankly not recognising their mothers, or understanding what the fuss was about. One mother stood motionless with her head in her hands, while another stared intently into her tiny daughter’s eyes.
Using FBI data, I computed black and white perpetrators of hate crimes as a percentage of men 18 to 44 years old in their populations
Eighteen months ago, liberals attempted to link the spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes to white supremacist actions. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio and the ADL highlighted the activities of white supremacist groups in upstate New York, despite all of the assaults being in the New York City metropolitan area, overwhelmingly perpetrated by black men. This culminated with black men killing Jews in Jersey City and Monsey, New York. Attempts were then made to rationalize them away rather than focusing on the anti-Semitic beliefs of black-nationalist groups, including the Nation of Islam.
The same dynamics seems to be unfolding with the current spike in anti-Asian hate crimes.
On Friday morning, all three broadcast networks ignored left-wing Antifa rioters committing violence yet again in Portland, Oregon. After federal officials took down barriers surrounding the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse, put up last July due to nightly attacks on the building, Antifa responded violently on Thursday as they broke windows and set multiple fires to the building while assaulting law enforcement.
Polling of “white liberals” compared to “white conservatives” shows increased approval of political violence among white liberals since 2016 and decreased tolerance among white conservatives.
The poll asked, “How much do you feel it is justified for people to use violence to pursue their political goals?”
People who formerly identified as transgender and took cross-sex hormones or underwent transgender surgery have later come to regret their transitions and the serious damage they did to their own bodies, urged on by the medical establishment. On March 12, the Detrans day of awareness, these detransitioners have come forward to tell their stories.
Justin Lane is an Oxford University-trained artificial intelligence (AI) expert and entrepreneur with no patience for fluffy theories. His research spans the field of cognition — both human and artificial — as well as religion and conflict.
That led to some fascinating fieldwork in Northern Ireland, where he studied Irish Republican Army and Ulster Defence Association extremists up close. Ultimately, he applied his humanities research to AI programming and agent-based computer simulations.
