Revolving Doors

The Westwood area of Winnipeg has long been considered a safe place to go about one’s business, since it is at the edge of the city as opposed to the crime-ridden downtown zone. Not any more, thanks to racially motivated “justice”. If you read up on this guy’s rap sheet in the article, it boggles the mind that he would be allowed anywhere other than prison.

A man shot and killed by Winnipeg police earlier this week was from Nunavut and is being remembered as a proud Inuk who craved connection and needed help to overcome his violent past.

Jordan Charlie, 24, was released from custody in Manitoba on Nov. 19 after he pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and three other related charges for incidents that happened this year, court recordings reviewed by CBC News reveal.

 

You’re Supposed To Put Your Thumb On The Scale

Matt Taibbi- How America’s Accurate Election Polls Were Covered Up

What happened in 2024 to RCP is emblematic of wider failures in data journalism, which has now turned in three straight cycles of obscene misses. Although problems in polling have been lavishly, even excessively covered, failures are inevitably presented as a Scooby-Doo whodunit, rooted in a magic invisibility power apparently unique to Trump voters. “If Trump outperforms the polls once again,” the Atlantic concluded this August, “something about his supporters remains a mystery.”

But it’s no mystery. The polling problem in America looks like good-old-fashioned lying, mixed with dollops of censorship and manipulation:

Narcissistic Leadership

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with entrepreneur, author, and one-time parliamentary secretary to Justin Trudeau, Celina Caesar-Chavannes. Her experience turned out to be quite the opposite of the “sunny ways” Canadians were led to expect from Justin and eventually led to her resignation and a lengthy period of unemployment as punishment for challenging maximum leader.

One of the more noteworthy points of discussion is how the legacy media is too busy carrying water for Justin to ever give Celina much air time.

Things You’ll See On CBC

If you read very carefully and almost to the bottom of a very long article.

CBC- Conservatives are targeting Singh over his pension — but Poilievre’s is three times larger

The difference between getting a pension and not getting one is also significant, said Newell. If Singh doesn’t hit six years of service early next year, he’s only entitled to a refund of his pension contributions with interest. 

Francisco- I believe they call this “burying the lede”.

There Goes The Narrative

FCPP;

In Positive Stories of Indian Residential Schools Must Also be Heard, Rubenstein and McCrae critically examine the current portrayal of the residential school system, which is often overwhelmingly negative. The authors argue that this narrative fails to acknowledge the positive experiences of many former students and the genuine intentions of those who worked within the system. While not dismissing the testimonies of abuse, the report emphasizes that these accounts do not represent the full spectrum of experiences at the schools.

Elections Have Consequences

Sun- These are Canada’s ‘Hunger Games’

In 2023, while 13.5% of Americans households grappled with food insecurity— characterized by low or very low food security (USDA-ERS, 2024) — the rate in Canada was significantly higher at 22.9% (Proof Toronto, 2024). This suggests that food insecurity in Canada is a staggering 69.6% more prevalent than in the United States — a deeply unsettling statistic.

Diversity Is Our Strengh

Newsweek- Sweden To Offer Immigrants $34,000 To Leave Country

In a statement following the Swedish Migration Agency announcement last month Minister for Migration Maria Malmer Stenergard said: “The Government’s efforts have produced results. The number of asylum applications is looking to be historically low, asylum-related residence permits continue to decrease and Sweden has net emigration for the first time in 50 years. This development toward sustainable immigration is necessary to strengthen integration and reduce social exclusion.”

That Sinking Feeling

Even the mainstream media is belatedly acknowledging what many SDA readers have known for a long time: the Ukraine is running out of soldiers who are willing and able to fight.

As a battalion commander, Dima was in charge of around 800 men who fought in some of the fiercest, bloodiest battles of the war – most recently near Pokrovsk, the strategic eastern town that is now on the brink of falling to Russia.

But with most of his troops now dead or severely injured, Dima decided he’d had enough. He quit and took another job with the military – in an office in Kyiv.

CNN spoke to six commanders and officers who are or were until recently fighting or supervising units in the area. All six said desertion and insubordination are becoming a widespread problem, especially among newly recruited soldiers.
