Hey, did anyone figure out who burned down those churches?:
The Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, along with the Catholic Archdiocese, will be launching an investigation into a former residential school in North Vancouver.

After the Canadian Historical Association published a July 1 letter calling it “abundantly clear” that Canada is guilty of genocide, a coalition of Canadian historians have hit back with an open letter accusing the body of dictating a single view of history upon the public.
“There are no grounds for such a claim that purports to represent the views of all of Canada’s professional historians,” reads the letter signed by more than 50 Canadian historians and academics, including Oxford University professor Margaret MacMillan, author of the bestselling Paris 1919.
The letter then admonished the 100-year-old association for purporting to “promote a single ‘consensus’ history of Canada.”
“With this coercive tactic, the CHA Council is acting as an activist organization and not as a professional body of scholars,” it read.
Also - without Sir John A. Macdonald, there would be no Canada to hate:
Cabinet yesterday abruptly reworked plans for an Indigenous funding announcement to avoid using the John A. Macdonald Building across the street from Parliament Hill. One cabinet member earlier said it was “uncomfortable coming into this building” because of a heritage plaque bearing Macdonald’s name: ‘He was complicit in this Residential School system.’
He was also complicit in inventing Canada.
Someone ought to remind the fascists in Quebec that if they don't want to serve the public, they are free to step in front of an avalanche:
Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault’s department refuses to name publishers awarded nearly $61 million in pre-election “emergency relief.” The grants were to ensure readers receive “timely information they require from their government,” Guilbeault wrote in a letter to MPs: “Reliable news is perhaps more important than ever.”

Quebec will test a smartphone application over the next two weeks that will run the vaccine passport system the government plans to impose across the province on Sept. 1, Health Minister Christian Dube said Tuesday.
But I thought that "vaccinations", even the ones taken from supplies meant for the Third World, were "personal".

Trudeau spent his political capital on idle virtue signalling while Canadians were held behind bars and China waged genocide against the Uyghurs ...
Imagine a university stamping on an opinion forever:
A Manitoba medical student who was expelled after failing to satisfactorily apologize for his controversial views on guns and abortion has been granted a new adjudication of his expulsion.
Rafael Zaki, a Coptic Orthodox student at the University of Manitoba who was supposed to graduate in 2022, posted three items on his Facebook page in February 2019. He was expelled in August 2019.
One year later, after losing two appeals within the university system, Zaki asked Manitoba’s Court of Queen’s Bench to review the decision made by the University Discipline Committee. Zaki said he was expelled “for holding conscientious and religious beliefs that abortion is harmful.”
The university, meanwhile, said that it must ensure professional behaviour and attitudes in order for its students to become doctors, and that Zaki was expelled for failing to reach that standard “even after numerous attempts … to assist (him) in remediating his conduct.”
(Sidebar: the Khmer Rouge used to "remediate", too.)
Ken Champagne, the provincial judge in the case, found that there was a perception of bias and the university discipline system had failed to consider Zaki’s Charter rights to freedom of expression.
“The decision is quashed,” Champagne wrote, calling it “incorrect and unreasonable.”
Oh, is the world ending again?:
But it also highlights how much one-sided thinking takes place in the climate conversation. Since the heat dome in June, there has been a lot of writing about more heat deaths. And the IPCC confirms that climate change indeed has increased heatwaves. However, the report equally firmly, if virtually unacknowledged, tells us that global warming means “the frequency and intensity of cold extremes have decreased.”
This matters because globally, many more people die from cold than from heat. A new study in the highly respected journal Lancet shows that about half a million people die from heat per year, but 4.5 million people die from cold.
Could that "heat dome" be caused by air pollution in China (asking for a friend)?
This China:
China on Tuesday recalled its ambassador to Lithuania and expelled the Baltic nation’s top representative to Beijing over the country’s decision to allow self-governing Taiwan to open an office in Lithuania under its own name.

Chinese and Russian troops have engaged in joint exercises in northwestern China in a sign of growing military ties between Moscow and Beijing amid shared concerns over the instability in Afghanistan.
I'm the above is nothing to worry about.
