Not only is China failing to keep the revolt in Hong Kong out of the consciousness of the Chinese people, but protests now are taking inspiration from the Hong Kongers. And in the worst possible place: in Guangdong province, which is gargantuan and shares a common language with Hong Kong.

I’ll admit I’m growing quite fond of Jessica. This is truly God’s work.
The @cpsbc_ca has confirmed to me that the refusal I’ve received is discrimination under the BC Human Rights Code and against their code of Ethics.

I voted for @realDonaldTrump, but if he asked me to get on my knees so he could shoot whipped cream in my mouth, I’d politely decline. It’s amazing what people will do for the promise of $1,000 per month. pic.twitter.com/CnhkrDT31V

Art Of The Deal
Trump asked Trudeau how much Canada spends on defence.
Trudeau dodged; Trump asked again.
Trudeau panicked, and lied. He said 1.4% of GDP. (It’s actually 1.27%.)
So… did Trump just get Trudeau to commit to a $2.6B/year increase? #ArtOfTheDeal pic.twitter.com/34707sGlvi

Oh, That Bloomberg Media!
Scott Adams – Aaaand he’s done. Trump just handed Bloomberg two ways to lose and no ways to win. Signature move.

This Week In Natural Selection
Go Directly To Jail
Trenton-area farmer Brian Crews was taking down trees, working what he still believes is a woodlot, to expand his crops, when the notice from the Lower Trent Conservation Authority arrived at the farmgate. He was ordered to stop work immediately. Two CA officers had responded to a complaint and, looking over from a neighbouring property, noted that the woodlot was a wetland.
It was the first time Crews learned that part of his land was considered wetland and he’s not happy about it. He’s also not alone. Many landowners are finding out their land is a wetland while developing it. What’s worse is that this problem has been going on for at least a decade.
On Sept. 29, Waterloo Region rural landowner Jason Geil was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $30,000, after using a dump truck and bulldozer to fill an area on his own property. It was the first time a landowner in Ontario was sent to jail for flouting the wetland designation.

“Ms Halimi, who was Orthodox, was killed after Kobili Traoré broke into her council flat in eastern Paris on April 4 2017.
Witnesses said the 65-year-old was beaten and called a ‘demon’ by her attacker, who recited Koranic verses as he threw her off her balcony.”

“As a Jew, my connection to Israel is a core aspect of my identity, and I hoped that this trip would help me to experience Israel through a new lens,” Wright wrote.
The trip is set to leave for Israel at the end of December. Wright made it clear that the trip entails visits to Israel and the Palestinian territories “to meet with politicians, journalists, and locals from all sides to better understand a very nuanced geopolitical conflict.”
She then explained on Facebook that as a result of her decision to participate on the trip, “the SSMU Legislative Council voted to call for my resignation from my positions in student government.
“The SSMU president personally singled me out, and actively encouraged others to attack me,” she added, highlighting that only she was targeted, despite the fact that another non-Jewish councilor is joining her on the trip.
