  1. “An Ontario school district has kicked out its only black trustee reportedly because he wasn’t sufficiently politically correct. On Monday night, the Waterloo District School Board voted to block trustee Mike Ramsay from meetings until September 30 in what Ramsay told CityNews was an attempt to “silence” him.”

    What did the black man do to upset whitey so much?

    “…Ramsay said it was related to his somewhat heterodox social media activity, which has included criticisms of the district’s move to introduce “anti-racism” training into the curriculum. “They pretend to advocate about diversity, inclusion and equity. But the irony of all of this is that when a Black person disagrees with them, they’re quick to put me in my place”

    1. Uppity black men will not be tolerated. Oh, yeah…and Diversity is our Strength.

  2. Propoganda from Dhaka

    I see no, ZERO cellular devices being used by those careful drivers, it simply can’t be dangerous.
    It’s a plot to keep us away from their tourist areas, so they can keep their beloved tourist areas all to themselves.

    They should share some.

  3. Trudeau Foundation accused of delaying sex harassment lawsuit, insisting it be heard in Quebec.

    “The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has twice sought a change of venue for a trial into allegations by a former foundation scholar who says she was sexually harassed by her assigned mentor, pressured to keep it quiet and left unsupported and unbelieved.”

    Maybe she experienced it differently than her alleged harasser.

    Who is that harasser?
    Former Northwest Territories Premier Stephen Kakfwi, an indigenous Dene politician, who was appointed to the Supreme Court Advisory Board by Justin Trudeau in 2017.

    Justin Trudeau picked this “man” to help choose new Supreme Court justices. The sexual harassment apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

    1. They finally figured out how to prevent future dog-faced pony soldier moments from President Angry Asshole.

    2. The video camera provides an accurate documentation of what was actually said. I think they are doing this so they can spin as necessary afterwards.

  4. Went on a motorcycle trip in South America. Driving in 3rd world countries is interesting. Chile is pretty normal since it was mostly populated by descendants of Germans. Peru is a little wilder although they will stop for red lights. In Bolivia everyone drives on their horn and everything is optional including lights. What’s amazing is that there is a system. After a few days we were riding like a native. What is really weird is that the dogs don’t get run over.we never could figure it out.

    1. Rode the Baja 20 years ago on a duel sport – so a bit off road. The locals love a bike but all the dogs wanted to rip you. You needed to keep ahead of the pack.

  5. New Zealand to tax cow and sheep burps.

    “We’ve been working with the government and other organisations on this for years to get an approach that won’t shut down farming in New Zealand, so we’ve signed off on a lot of stuff we’re happy with.”

    1. It won’t be long before our gaseous expulsions will be monitored and taxed accordingly.

      I’m sure Prinz Dummkopf would be delighted to announce the establishment of a ministry dedicated to that. How about Belch and Flatulence Canada?

    2. What a sad farce. China, Russia and India don’t give a burp or fart or sh*t about CO2 coming from any source so they will burn ever increasing amounts of coal while the green ideologues in the western democracies impoverish their citizens.

  6. Tonight, I have two Cold War-related items that I first saw on PBS in the mid-1980s, back when it was still worth watching.

    First is An Englishman Abroad:

    https://odysee.com/@Maybrick1888:3/AnEnglishmanAbroad:f

    Alan Bates plays Guy Burgess (yes, that Guy Burgess) and Coral Browne (who was married to Vincent Price) plays herself. It’s the story of an encounter that Burgess and Browne had in Moscow a few years after his defection while she was on tour with a theatre company.

    Next, Wynne and Penkovsky, which was originally the 3-part mini-series The Man from Moscow:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btKmcRAKaJQ

    David Calder plays British businessman Greville Wynne who’s recruited by MI6 to make contact with Col. Oleg Penkovsky (Christopher Rozycki). Penkovsky provides details to the British and American intelligence services about plans by the Soviet Union to build die Mauer in Berlin as well as deploy missiles in Cuba.

    Unfortunately, the audio of the second program lags behind the video by several seconds.

  7. L – Social media tooted their own horn about how good an investment they were. This based on their own estimate of the size of their user base. What could go wrong ?

    A major investor called their bluff. Soon, Warren Buffets axiom about when the tide goes out.
    You find out who has been swimming naked. Because they are now only covered in shareholder lawsuits. Overvalued stock and market corrections are looming ever closer on the horizon.
    —————————————————————————————————————————————
    “Frothy social media companies, platforms that won big from lockdowns that they pushed and championed on behalf of governments around the world, could see a serious cleaning of their clocks in this environment. With or without Elon’s proposed takeover of Twitter, the privileged censors who have relied on inflated numbers for years are not going to fare well.”

    1. There’s also the saying: “Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered.”

      Too many investors can’t be bothered to read a company’s financial statement, analyze the numbers (which isn’t that hard to do, if you know what to look for), and then make a decision on whether it’s worth investing in. The result is that lots of them end up losing their shirts.

      I lost far less money by using that approach by avoiding some obvious clunkers, regardless of what business they were in or what was written about them.

    1. “cutting off you genitals does not make you a woman, anymore than cutting off your ear makes you Van Gogh”

      1. You’re an idiot.
        I merely posted a story about Ukrainian’s anger coming out in music – although I don’t consider rap overall to be music.
        The quote is just that.
        Again, you’re an idiot.
        But a useless one as well.

    1. Hardly a dilemma. Why would one not save a dog? Why would one save a russian?

  8. Naomi Wolf w/ Reiner Fuellmich.

    WOW..!!

    Pfizer/Bion-Tech, 55,000 pages of released Data tells Much..UNREAL.
    particularly, that in behind it all, CHINA appears to have been the Choreographer… and most certainly DEEPLY Involved.

    …Comes to light that Pfizer had 3 locations in China since 2009 – one in Wuhan. Also comes to light that they began creating a COVID Vaxx in Jan 2020….imagine dat eh.?

    1. Nice try. All this talk about history and perceptions and not one line about the harm russia (whether disguised as Soviet Union or not makes no difference) has been inflicting on Ukraine for centuries. Ignore that, and all your, oh so enlightened, perceptions are skewed beyond the point when they even remotely resemble reality.

      The simple fact is that after independence russians were treated orders of magnitude better than Germans were treated after WWII. And the harm russians have done was proportionally larger and much longer lasting. They did not deserve this kind treatment. They deserved much worse. When you realize that (try Snyder’s “Bloodlands” for starters) you will understand why anyone in Eastern Europe says “never again”. Once you realize that, we can talk.

      There will never be reconciliation until the last orc is chased to Asia or used for fertilizer.

    2. Also note that this is another in the long series of articles that contrast Western view with russian view. Anything missing from this picture? How about Eastern European view? Nah enlightened Westerners simping for Pootin can’t be bothered with that.

  9. Anybody read the Nat Posts John Ivison today? He quotes a Canadian soldier who is on the front in Ukraine.
    Says the ruskies are winning and the equipment Canada is sending is junk.

    1. Why shouldn’t Canada give poopy equipment to Ukraine? I remember the kit 40 years ago and everything in the Canadian Army was garbage compared to other armies and likely cost twice as much as it was all made in Quebec.

    1. Spineless Premiers (looking at you Scott) allow the feds to have any say whatsoever about property rights. It has always been (per the BNA and the Constitution Act of 1982) a provincial responsibility. But as we are in a post-national state, the Privy Council will do and say anything it wants.

    1. Her jokes are about as funny as Prinz Dummkopf is intelligent.

      1. Until I watched that clip, I didn’t know who she was. I looked her up on the Internet. She’s Canadian……

        (Bisexuality is a super power???)
