If the courts insist on adjusting sentencing based on race, why not set up a Race Classification Board so that they could at least have some pretense of objectivity, however laughable? At this point, it’s just a matter of a judge declaring “I’ll accept your arbitrary claims as fact because…yoke of colonialism”.

Williams identifies as both Black and Mi’kmaq. Though he couldn’t prove the latter, the judge was “satisfied” Williams “has established a connection to Indigenous ancestry.”

“It is not unusual for Indigenous people who have struggled under the yoke of colonialism in this country and its intergenerational impact to have lost connections to their roots and community,” Chamberlain said.

Hamas ally faces “doxxing” questions;

In our discussion with the organization, another Canadian journalist raised an even more immediate issue. They asked about controversy surrounding a website in Canada called “The Maple” which has faced criticism in Canada’s Jewish diaspora over concerns that the website’s journalists could be endangering Jewish Canadian citizens, schools, and community organizations.

The community’s fears center on The Maple’s “Find IDF Soldiers” project, launched in February 2025 by the publication’s opinion editor, Davide Mastracci. The database initially listed 85 Canadians who had served in the Israel Defense Forces, and has since expanded to over 200 profiles. The website also features a separate directory titled “GTA to IDF” that lists Jewish schools, synagogues, and children’s camps, claiming associations with the IDF.

The Maple maintains an unapologetically pro-Palestinian editorial stance and has focused extensively on Middle East policy since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks. The “Find IDF Soldiers” database profiles are based on publicly available information from news articles, social media posts, and LinkedIn profiles. Among those listed is Ben Mizrachi, a 22-year-old dual Canadian-Israeli citizen and former IDF medic who was killed by Hamas terrorists while attempting to aid victims at the Nova Music Festival on October 7.

Nitsana addressed The Maple site question explicitly. She explained: “In the beginning, they listed IDF soldiers’ names. And now they list synagogues and schools and camps. So we are taking action against them.”

The Bureau;

A fast-evolving case with potential national security implications has resulted in new weapons charges, following a trespassing investigation that began January 24 at Western University and led to the discovery of “numerous precursor substances and finished high explosives” at a London home. The probe has since expanded to include warrant executions in Ottawa and Gatineau, Quebec. […]

The four suspects, who have requested Mandarin translation services in court proceedings, face mounting charges related to the unlawful possession of explosives following an incident that began when campus police called for assistance on a break-in at Western University’s engineering buildings early Saturday, January 24.

A trespasser was arrested at an engineering building following a foot pursuit. Officers seized a loaded handgun during the arrest and identified a second suspect.

While the university has not responded to The Bureau’s questions, CBC has reported that “the accused were currently attending, or were alumni, at Western University.”

Police then executed a search at 212 Chesham Avenue — approximately 1.9 kilometres from Western’s main engineering campus — where they arrested the second suspect and discovered hazardous chemicals. Two additional suspects were arrested at the residence.

Jerry Tong, 27, of Gatineau, and Zekun Wang, 26, of London, were charged with unlawful possession of explosives. Fei Han, 25, and Feiyang Ji, 21, both of London, also face charges of unlawful possession of explosives.

Watch out for those “Richmond Hill homes” my friends, because you never know what they’re up to.

Three missing Quebec girls have been found in a Richmond Hill home, and police have charged a man and a teenage boy for allegedly trafficking them.

York Regional Police said officers received information on Tuesday that the missing girls may be in the area and that they were maybe being sexually exploited.

Within a few hours, police identified and attended a residence of interest in Richmond Hill.

”Shortly after arriving, two female youths were seen leaving the residence with an adult male in a vehicle,” police said in a news release on Friday.

Officers stopped the vehicle and arrested the man.

Police said they then entered the home “under exigent circumstances” and located the third missing girl along with a 17-year-old boy who was subsequently taken into custody.

The adult suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Shaikh Sabahat from Toronto. The teenage suspect cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

All cultures are equal, except yours.

When Stephen Taylor read a CBC Nova Scotia story about the imminent closure of Parks Canada’s Canadian Register of Historic Places website, he knew he had to act.

The register is a national searchable database of historic places recognized by federal, provincial, territorial and local governments.

It contains about 13,500 listings and is slated for decommissioning this spring.

“Reading into it… I felt it would be a tragedy to lose that resource,” Taylor said.

“I felt there was a huge urgency to preserve it, ironically preserving our history, even though that was the point of the original website.”

As a partner and chief technical officer at Shift Media Strategies, Toronto-based Taylor knows a thing or two about web technologies.

That weekend, Taylor used artificial intelligence tools to download all of the data on the old Parks Canada site and rebuild it using modern web standards.

Pretty sure he’ll be arrested.

Brampton Man

Diversity Menthols;

Officers with Saskatchewan Highway Patrol’s Provincial Protective Services Branch stopped a truck and trailer around 12:40 a.m. on Jan. 20 and located what police described as a large quantity of illegal tobacco in the trailer. The driver, an adult man, was arrested at the scene.

Battlefords RCMP and Saskatchewan RCMP’s Yorkton Saskatchewan Trafficking Response Team later continued the investigation. Police say a search of the vehicle uncovered 23 pallets of unstamped tobacco containing approximately 9.1 million cigarettes, which were seized.

Investigators also determined the driver was on court-ordered release conditions related to tobacco charges in Ontario, including a requirement not to be outside that province.

Harwinder Kahlon, 41, of Brampton, Ont., is charged with transporting or possessing unstamped tobacco for the purpose of sale under the Criminal Code, possession of unstamped tobacco under the Excise Act, possessing or transporting tobacco not marked in a prescribed manner under the Tobacco Tax Act, and failing to comply with an undertaking condition.

Is Our Diversities Learing?

Unsurprisingly: “The memo notes that the view that ‘immigrants living in the U.S. illegally should not be deported’ receives no more than 30 percent support among Democrats and young people, and even less among other groups.” And yet Democrats still won’t take the hint.

Rima Chaabenne is a Tunisian immigrant

…who arrived in Canada during 2022 where she is now serving as a Occupational Health & Safety Officer within the Department of @NationalDefence in Ottawa

Rima Chaabenne is a supporter of the designated terrorist group Hamas where she has been observed posting videos of murderous terrorists being showered with roses in Gaza while also sending prayers to fallen leadership of Hamas such as Abu Obaida.

Given she is most likely not a Canadian citizen yet, why did Canada’s Department of National Defense fail to do any review of Rima Chaabenne’s social media, let alone why was she allowed into the country?

Rima Chaabenne has responded to this post with a middle finger using the Hamas inverted red triangle.
