So much happening ....
It's only hate if they say it is:
A federally-funded media monitor accuses two former premiers of “pushing conspiracy theories and disinformation.” The Canadian Anti-Hate Network, an agency subsidized by the Department of Canadian Heritage, did not respond to questions: “We have always stated at the Canadian Anti-Hate Network that leaders have to lead.”
The inept, somnolent and antipathetic government on veterans:
Department of Veterans Affairs pension rolls still include widows and orphans of First World War veterans 103 years after the Armistice. Their dwindling number is down to 31: “The average yearly payment is $10,757 or about $896 per month.”

Nearly a dozen years ago, Micheal McNeil was hit with an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. The former combat engineer, who is now a 40-year-old father of three in Saint John, N.B., has traded a fight with the Taliban for a constant battle with the federal government instead.
“They want you to walk away. They’re literally: delay, deny, watch you die,” he says.
“They want you to walk away from the benefits. They don’t want you to get them. And that’s why they make it so hard.”
McNeil is one of tens of thousands of Canadian veterans who sustained long-term injuries from their military service and are now waiting to find out whether Veterans Affairs Canada will approve their disability claims.
This past June, Marie-Paule Doucette was asked if she felt she had enough time to help Lionel Desmond in the months leading up to Jan. 3, 2017 — the evening the Afghan war veteran shot and killed his wife, daughter and mother before turning the gun on himself.
The question came near the end of two days of testimony before the Nova Scotia inquiry examining the circumstances surrounding the tragic event. Throughout, Doucette had laid out the many challenges she faced as a case manager at Veterans Affairs Canada.
In particular, Doucette had shared a long-standing source of frustration and concern for veterans and their advocates, an issue Ottawa has repeatedly promised — and even now failed — to address: the sheer number of veterans assigned to case managers. ...
The Liberals have doubled the number of case managers, but Veterans Affairs says they still, on average, have 33 veterans assigned to each of them. Virginia Vaillancourt, national president of the Union of Veterans’ Affairs Employees, says many have even more than that.
They are asking for too much, right, Justin?
Was it something that no one wanted to say about hastily produced flu shot?:
Indigenous Canadians and minorities were more likely to refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19, a new Angus Reid poll reveals.
According to the survey, 13% of Indigenous Canadians said that they have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 and do not plan to receive their shot. The rate was more than twice as much as the 6% of white Canadians who reported the same.
Meanwhile, 8% of Canadians who identified as visible minorities also said they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
You know, the communists also used to erase history:
The Royal BC Museum will be closing an entire floor of exhibits dedicated to the early settlers of Canada.
According to the museum’s acting CEO Daniel Muzyka, the exhibits on European settlers, the early logging and fishery industry will all disappear.
“This is necessary to begin the long-term work of creating new narratives that include under-represented voices and reflect the lived experiences and contemporary stories of the people in B.C,” said Muzyka.
“We will decant the collection and we will do it carefully and openly and inclusively. We will listen. We want to tell the stories from the lived experience.”
... by erasing history.
Got it.
Accounting for nearly three quarters of women voters and 40 per cent of the electorate, white women backed businessman Mr Youngkin 57 to 43 per cent, according to NBC News exit polls — a 15-point swing over 2020, when white women in Virginia narrowly sided with Mr Biden over Donald Trump.
While education, and what is on the school curriculum, were important issues, poll data shows it was the dislike of Mr Biden that proved decisive. Sixty-three per cent of white women without college degrees said they “strongly disapprove” of him as president, with 75 per cent of them voting for Mr Youngkin.
An interesting inclusion of "white".
Because black Americans were also not put off by Biden or McAuliffe.
As the leader of one-fifth of the world’s people, Xi’s potential to rule for life has huge ramifications. China’s most important man is already on a mission to redistribute the nation’s wealth to build a fairer Marxist society. That “common prosperity” campaign wiped about $1 trillion off the value of Chinese stocks globally in July, and impacted the business of everyone from delivery drivers and after-school teachers to tech giants and celebrities, with major fallout for global investors.
With a historical resolution under his belt, Xi would head into next year’s politicking emboldened to execute more economic reforms and push back against the U.S. on trade, coronavirus probes and, of course, Taiwan, which Beijing considers a breakaway province. Xi in July called it a “historic mission” to bring the democratic island under the party’s control, a move that could actually send Washington and Beijing to war if done by force.
Does it sound like North Korea wants peace?:
North Korea has conducted artillery firing exercises to bolster its defense capability, state media reported Sunday, its latest weapons test as Pyongyang continues to pressure Washington and Seoul to abandon what it calls their hostile policy.
An artillery firing competition among mechanized units was held on Saturday, with senior government and military officials present, the official Korean Central News Agency reported.
Leader Kim Jong Un was not mentioned in the report, suggesting he did not observe the training. He supervised a similar artillery firing drill last year.
How were these ever joyful representations of Christmas?:
