    Tory ‘tough on crime’ rhetoric only tough on Black, Indigenous Canadians

    http://apple.news/AoV0ZJJEgQDC-g-61QBBUVA http://apple.news/AoD4DOHneR56LkkgyZjESAQ This isn’t a race thing, or just a crime thing, but a multi-tiered Justice thing that the current government is trying to sell to the public…. So that in less than 470 days… it can point the finger at the adults...

    Tory ‘tough on crime’ rhetoric only tough on Black, Indigenous Canadians

    The report starts by stating that Canada’s criminal justice system was never meant to serve black Canadians but to harm them. When that’s the starting point, you know the report you are about to read is coming with a heavy political bias. Last week the federal Department of Justice published A...

    KFC in Canada has gone WOKE

    I wouldn’t know a fried chicken from a Halal fried chicken from a kosher fried chicken…But if they’ve taken bacon off the menu, that’s kind of sad…but it’s not like I’m dawning the doorway of a KFC more than once every three or four years anyway. Many moons ago, I had a very different bizarre...

    We’ve got such a mixed pile of dogs at home at this point, pretty much anything is accurate. Four of them currently. All smaller than days gone by though because we’re getting older. My girlfriend brought home another rescue a few months ago. I call it, “Dog4.” It’s in there above if you look...

    I was probably 40 years old before I ever tried poutine. Just wasn’t a thing here. If you said, Canadian like cabbage rolls and pierogies I’d be totally down with that. 😉 You can see (I can see) the confusion…

    That’s the thing about us in the middle. Everybody thinks that they are in the middle. I think I’m in the middle (I’m probably not but I think that). You think you’re in the middle (you may be, or you may not be). Everybody on this forum thinks that they are in the middle (they may or may not be).

    Elizabeth May wins Green Party of Canada leadership, set to co-lead with Jonathan Pedneault

    Jonathan Pedneault (Whom I thought was just Elizabeth May’s imaginary friend) is stepping down from his bid to co-lead the federal Green Party after internal debate and numerous delays impeded those plans, leaving the party's leadership back in the sole hands of Elizabeth May. Pedneault...

    UNRWA. It's like this...

    No idea. Perhaps asking the Palestinians, ‘cuz not all Palestinians are Hamas, but all Hamas…etc…? But which Palestinians to ask? Maybe the ones that want to exist in Hamas free bubbles? Maybe that’s too simple without a vetting system set up by Hamas though?

    UNRWA. It's like this...

    Canada, and other western nations, are being asked to redirect aid dollars currently earmarked for UNRWA to the self-governing bubbles and other projects led by Gazans who are unaffiliated with Hamas. Canada gave just under US$40 million (C$54.5 million) to the troubled UN agency last year...

    France Elections

    The NFP is a coalition of LFI, the Socialist party, the greens and the Communists. Economically, they are left of left. Their proposals include a 35-hour work week, moving to 32 hours following collective bargaining, and the retirement age moved back down to 60. They also want a 90 per cent top...

    Immigrant from France fails Quebec's French test for newcomers

    Bill 96… sort of the same flavour: Just over two years ago, the Quebec government gave itself more powers to police the language spoken in the halls and flowing through the digital networks of the businesses in the province. That includes the tech sector, source of about five per cent of...
