Is Our Diversities Learing?

Keene Bexte;

Our Managing Editor, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa has obtained a secret, internal bombshell report from the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School. This 15 page document exposes shocking military secrets that Mark Carney is not sharing with the public.

One critical platoon was revealed to be 83% non-citizen residents – many in Canada for just three months – and it descended into total dysfunction.

Cultural infighting between Cameroonian and Ivorian factions within the CANADIAN Armed Forces.

Repeated allegations of racism flying between squabbling tribes.

A shocking lack of respect toward female members and instructors.

Graduation rate? A catastrophic 48%.

Left Coast, Lost Cause

Jonathan Kay;

On 24 October 2019, B.C.’s left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP) government enacted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), requiring the government to take “all necessary measures” to ensure its laws are consistent with UNDRIP. British Columbia thereby became the first jurisdiction on the planet that not only endorsed UNDRIP in the abstract (as Trudeau and other national leaders had done) but actually cemented its guarantees into law. In 2021, the province added a further legislative amendment explicitly requiring that “every Act and regulation must be construed as being consistent with UNDRIP.”

Behind the scenes, then-Premier John Horgan and his cabinet were assuring legislators that the law would simply ensure that B.C. took advice and guidance from Indigenous groups. But as judges (predictably) concluded, that’s absolutely not what the law says.

“[T]here is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail …”

Wrong.

The Department of Justice indicted a former senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday for allegedly concealing records amid probes into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

David Morens, 78, has been charged with conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal, or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting.

The indictment, unsealed Monday in Maryland federal court, also lists two unnamed co-conspirators who “concealed, removed, destroyed and caused the concealment, and removal of federal records to evade FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] and FRA [Federal Records Act].”

Come and say it to our faces

IBEW 2067 reaction to NDP power plan: Come down to Estevan and Coronach and tell us about it

The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party has been taking its “Grid and Growth Plan 2026” on the road, promoting their new electrical grid strategy in Prince Albert and Yorkton. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2067 would like to see them do the same in Estevan and Coronach, and see what reaction they get.

I’m sure a few hundred coal workers who would lose their jobs and possibly their homes would be happy to have that discussion.

BREAKING: DOJ confirms to @FoxNews that FBI and HSI agents are currently raiding 20+ locations in the Minneapolis, MN area in relation to ongoing federal fraud investigations. Sources tell FOX the locations are largely Somali linked businesses, including the infamous “Quality Learning Center”. I’m told these are court approved search warrants being served and they are tied to fraud, not immigration enforcement. Fox is told 22 search warrants were executed in Minnesota this morning.

DOJ spokesperson holding statement: “Today the FBI with federal, state and local law enforcement is involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of an ongoing fraud investigation.”

“The National Observer record speaks for itself “

Yes, it does;

A Vancouver climate news site, the National Observer, is the nation’s heaviest user of Department of Canadian Heritage grants, newly-disclosed records show. The “independent news site” received more than $1.3 million in taxpayers’ aid to cover the equivalent of 23 employees’ salaries while its CEO served on a volunteer board responsible for approving grants: “The National Observer record speaks for itself regarding our independence from any government.”

@bcblueconYup. Tides owns the National Observer for example: Publisher Linda Solomon Wood

Unite to Save the Pipes

Via email;

Want to help save a pipe organ? Apparently, the University of Alberta quietly made plans to begin removing this organ from Convocation Hall on April 30, without consultation, but the music community got wind of it.

Over 36,000 people signed the petition in just a few days, but the more the merrier! (How do you cheer up an organist? Give them a “note” of encouragement.)

I don’t usually promote petitions, but this seems like a worthy one. News article here and Petition link below.

I gather there’s still more than a few bugs to be resolved with AI. I’m reminded of a Dilbert cartoon from twenty years ago where the company rolled out a poorly tested backup product called Quik Protect which did nothing but erase your hard drive. Since that was back in the days of modems, it would call up all your friends and erase their hard drives too. And if you had a sound card, it would swear at you.

“Yesterday afternoon, an AI coding agent — Cursor running Anthropic’s flagship Claude Opus 4.6 — deleted our production database and all volume-level backups in a single API call to Railway, our infrastructure provider,” sums up the PocketOS boss. “It took 9 seconds.”

How are them elbows working out for ya?

Rogers Communications is offering voluntary departure packages to roughly half of its employees, in what is believed to be the largest round of buyout offers in Canada’s telecom sector in recent years.

Rogers said about 50 per cent of its roughly 25,000 employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages, according to the Globe & Mail.

“We are taking steps to adjust our cost structure to reflect the business realities of the current environment. As part of this, some teams have chosen to offer voluntary departure and retirement programs to give some employees the choice to decide whether they’d like to stay with the company or begin a new chapter,” said Rogers spokesperson Zac Carreiro in the report.

Giving Ottawa the bird on coal

Boundary Dam Unit 4 fired up on April 22, and it’s more significant than you might think

Up until now, the coal-fired power refurbishment may have seemed like a lot of talk. On Wednesday, April 22, it became real. And that’s significant for a number of reasons.

Not the least of which is it is in total defiance of federal coal regulations. Saskatchewan is giving Ottawa the bird.

Where Would We Be Without “Insight”?

A Kitchener woman has been granted an absolute discharge following the second-degree murder of her infant son in 2020.

The incident took place on Aug. 9 at a home in Kitchener when the woman, who was experiencing a psychotic episode and auditory hallucinations, stabbed her infant son multiple times, resulting in his death.

She was arrested, but found not criminally responsible “on account of mental disorder” in April 2021 […]

At the hearing, the board noted that the woman had gained insight into the fact that she would need to take medication for the rest of her life and would abstain from the use of substances. The board added that she has “no violent ideation or significant behavioural instability.”

As a result of the hearing, she was granted an absolute discharge, meaning she has been found guilty with no penalty or fine, resulting in no criminal record.
