Ontario taxpayers will soon be part-owners of one of the biggest coal-fired power plants in America west of the Mississippi River, making money off pollution in the U.S. Northwest that would be illegal to emit at home.Do what I say... not what I do.
What they do at Colstrip would be against the law in Ontario. In 2015, after closing the last of this province’s coal plants by government order, the Liberals passed a law outlawing them.
A jury has convicted a western Michigan woman of first-degree murder in the shooting death of her husband in a crime apparently witnessed by the man’s pet parrot.
After the slaying, the pet parrot, Bud, constantly repeated “don’t f@cking shoot” in Martin Duram’s voice.
"The silence from the Minneapolis Police Federation in the shooting death of Justine Damond is in sharp contrast to other controversial cases.But, wait... there's more...
Privately, sources are telling us that this can only mean one thing: that the shooting death of Justine Damond by a Minneapolis officer is even being questioned by his fellow officers."
"Noor, who joined the Minneapolis Police in March 2015, has reportedly had three complaints made against him in two years - including a lawsuit. Two are from 2017 and one from 2016 is closed and marked 'not to be made public'."**********
The family of Damond’s killer declared his innocence, saying Mohammed Noor had mistakenly shot her dead.**********
“We feel so bad about this, we are traumatised ourselves. It’s so unfortunate.”
"Indeed, confronting white supremacy in Canada, a country that often openly denies its existence, does require a fight. White supremacy is insidious and covert in Canada."Seriously?
...anytime soon on the CBC...
Justine's loved ones said she called 911 after hearing what she thought was a sexual assault in the alley. Moments later, a responding officer, Mohamed Noor, shot and killed her from inside his squad car.Witness the perils of affirmative action...
WCCO also learned that when she approached the squad car, Officer Noor, the first Somali-American officer to work in Minneapolis’ 5th precinct reached across his partner in the driver’s seat, then shot and killed Damond.
Thirty year old Noor had joined the department in March 2015. Before that, he worked in property management.I'm guessing Black Lives Matter Minnesota was not available for comment.
A report via CBS cited Officer Mohammed Noor’s attorney saying the policeman’s weapon discharging multiple gunfire led to the death of the woman.
Both officers had body cameras but they weren’t turned on.
Minneapolis Somali community braces for backlashOne prominent Somali BLM activist is quoted as suddenly saying, "I hope the conversation will focus on police reform, not racial stereotypes."
“Since when did it become a crime to be a teenager, I ask you?”Of course, there were a few small differences.
"Officers Were 'Startled’ By Noise'"Officer Harrity's lawyer later stated that Harrity & Noor were "concerned about a possible ambush."
Peter Kent: • The Trudeau government paid a terrorist murderer $10-million. •**********
Gerald Butts: • Look... squirrel, squirrel!!! •
"Media reports this week have revealed aspects of future governor general Julie Payette's past that were previously not disclosed, including a dismissed domestic assault charge and a fatal traffic accident.
Prime Minister Trudeau did not use a selection committee and won't comment on future GG's dismissed assault charge."
...farmers, hunters, target shooters... and soccer mums...
"Four to five suspects fled in a dark-coloured sedan following the shooting, police said, though witnesses initially said the vehicle looked like a minivan. There was no immediate suspect description available."Apparently... "mum's the word."
The victims, identified by police as a 29-year-old Toronto man, a 33-year-old Toronto man, and a 47-year-old Vaughan man, were transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.**********
The suspect has not yet been apprehended and a detailed suspect description has not yet been released.
"Two people were rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a stabbing in Toronto’s West Don Lands neighbourhood early Sunday morning."**********
"Dr. Pannucci’s interest peaked when one of his patients – a woman fitted with breast implants – survived a close-range shooting."
Cultural appropriation alert!!!
In addition to the expected, predictable archery and canoeing events... there is, apparently... imagine my surprise... golf AND rifle shooting.
CBC, however... has decided to stick to broadcasting traditional indigenous pursuits so as not to offend the usual snowflakes.
NO GOLF OR GUNS FOR YOU!!!
I have to ask about the picture... did they paint Justin's face just so they could laugh at him?

UPDATE: While CBC does archery & canoes...
"Kulluayuk Koperqualuk represented P.E.I. in rifle shooting competition at the North American Indigenous Games in Toronto this week."
..."Will of Allah"...
"Imam Sheikh Muhammad ibn Musa Al Nasr called Jews 'the worst of mankind' and expressed his hope that Muslims would slaughter them on Judgment Day. The Dar al-Arkam Mosque in Montreal has still yet to apologize for the speech and the original Arabic version of the sermon remains posted to the mosque’s YouTube channel."Postscript... looks like that whole "Israelis starving the Palestinians to death" trope just took a big hit, too!
...there's no such animal as "Islamic terrorism"..."Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited a gender-segregated mosque Monday morning whose imam is a member of a group considered a terrorist organization abroad."A vote is a vote, right Justy?
...and see if the Children's Aid Society don't try to snatch them away from you, but...
"In one example, a family might tell their children they are going on vacation to Australia, but instead, according to the documents, they travel to a small, remote village in Somalia for the girls to be cut."So how many prosecutions for female genital mutilation have there been in Justin Trudeau's post-national state?
"While there is some progress being made, Canada’s efforts fall short of what other countries are actively doing. There has never been a criminal conviction for female genital mutilation in Canada."**********
According to the paper, it has been claimed that people from England and across Europe have traveled to Scotland to have their daughters mutilated as the nation has been seen as a “soft touch” on the issue.Surprise, surprise, look who's actually doing something about this horrific problem...
In France, more than 100 people were jailed for FGM by 2014, thanks to a “zero tolerance” approach to the crime.
Please tell me these freaks are not procreating...
"Pets cannot speak for themselves. They cannot tell you that they are being misgendered. It’s important not to make assumptions about what gender your animal is based off of its sex."I'm guessing the bills from the pet psychiatrist are the least of the problem.
"Why own a gun?"

READING THE TEA LEAVES:
The new abolitionists...
“The police force in this country began as a slave patrol…,” activist Jessica Disu said last year. “We need to abolish the police, period. Demilitiarize the police, disarm the police, and we need to come up with community solutions for transformative justice.”Geez, Jessica... I think Baltimore and Chicago have already been "transformed."
FLIP:
“There is a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say 'we need to go green.'"FLOP:
"Respect for human rights in China has declined over the past two years with crackdowns on media and political dissent being notable problems, says an internal Canadian government report."**********
"The candid assessment is detailed in the most recent human rights report on China, completed in January by Global Affairs Canada."
The article revealed that China is planning to build more than twice as many coal plants in the next decade as the U.S. has in operation today.
...women and children first...
"Nevada's governor has endorsed a statement of emergency declared for recreational marijuana regulations, after the state's tax authority declared that many stores are running out of weed."**********
According to WJZ, murders occur so frequently in Baltimore that the number of murders in the city is higher than the number in Philadelphia, even though Philadelphia “has two and a half times the population.” Moreover, Baltimore sees more murders than New York City, although NYC “is almost 14 times larger.”
But the real giveaway on the level of violence in Baltimore is the report that the city’s murder rate “more than doubles Chicago’s.”
So, when will Justin Trudeau and Kathleen Wynne start building genderless universities, hospitals and prisons?
In May, the Ontario provincial government announced plans to begin issuing gender-neutral birth certificates. Ontario also allows residents to opt for an X, rather than an M or F on their drivers’ licenses, and has removed gender information from health care cards entirely.I suspect that that the people most supportive of this genderless nonsense are millennials who grew up on Star Wars movies and are gushingly enthusiastic about beings who more closely resemble alien lifeforms than the female facsimile they were aiming for.
Most Canadians are opposed to the idea of allowing residents of their own province to opt for something other than an “M” or an “F” on their birth certificates, and roughly half say allowing gender-neutral identification of all types for those who want it is a “bad thing”.
Political affiliation is also related to opinions on genderless birth certificates. Those who voted for the Conservative Party of Canada in the 2015 federal election are far more likely than other Canadians to oppose the plan. Almost four-in-five (77%) oppose their province issuing gender-neutral birth certificates.
...to keep Jean Chretien and Paul Martin off the witness stand...
“The Harper government refused to repatriate Mr. Khadr or otherwise resolve the matter. They could have, but they didn’t,” Goodale declared.And that, my friends, is the truth that "Roaring Ralph" chooses not to tell you...
Except Goodale omitted that in so doing, Harper was merely continuing the policy of the Jean Chretien/Paul Martin Liberal governments from 2002 until they lost power in 2006.
The Liberals made no effort to repatriate Khadr.
"Khadr’s civil suit was heavily focused on the unconstitutional conduct of the Liberal government in the 2002-2003 Chrétien-Martin period. Liberal heavyweights and officials from that epoch were included in formulating the Khadr settlement."Yeah, I'm shocked.
So we'll pretend it's not happening... that'll fix the problem...
Officials from BART, the public metro system serving California's San Francisco Bay area, have come under fire for their refusal to release crime surveillance videos, claiming such tapes will promote stereotypes and "stir up racial animosity."Hell's bells... here in Canada, this is standard operating procedure...
A BART official defended the agency's decision on Monday by saying information about criminal misconduct will be withheld at this time because of the media's "disproportionate elevation" of crimes that "unfairly affect and characterize riders of color."
York Regional Police are investigating after shots were fired into the front window of a restaurant in Vaughan late Monday. It happened at an establishment on Rutherford Road near Weston Road shortly before 11 p.m. A suspect was seen fleeing the scene, but there was no immediate description of the person.And...
A man is in hospital with serious injuries after a shooting in Scarborough shortly before 2:30 a.m. near a Tim Hortons near Midland and Eglinton avenues. Investigators have not released any information on suspects and police have not said if the victim was targeted in the shooting.And again...
Multiple shots were fired at a home near Warden and St. Clair avenues early on Tuesday morning. There were people inside the home at the time, Toronto police said, but no one was hurt.Ooops... one more...
There’s no word yet on suspects.
Toronto police said they received several reports of three to five shots fired just after 3 p.m. near Jane St. and Sheppard Ave. W. Police later found a male near the scene with injuries.Black Lives Matter Toronto was apparently unavailable for comment.
"An award-winning journalist who broke the story of the group of Jewish women ejected from an LGBTQ march in Chicago last month has been reassigned to non-journalistic duties at the paper which ran the original report, the Windy City Times."Let's not even talk about the French.
...if there's no such thing as gender anymore...
CORNWALL, Ont. - An eastern Ontario city is facing a human rights complaint over its policy prohibiting women and girls 10 and older from being topless in municipal pools.
The mayor says the woman who launched the gender discrimination complaint doesn't live in Cornwall or the surrounding region.
The complaint also targets an eastern Ontario water park and seven hotel companies.
