The shackles are off - for now:
Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich was once again released from jail on Tuesday after a Ontario Superior Court judge found errors in the decision to revoke her bail two weeks ago.
Lich was mobbed outside the Ottawa courthouse with cheers and hugs from an enthusiastic group of about two dozen supporters.
They included familiar faces from the protest that gridlocked downtown Ottawa for three weeks earlier this, which saw crowds protesting COVID-19 restrictions, including vaccine mandates, and the Liberal government.
“We feel it’s long overdue,” Lich’s lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, said after his client’s release.
Earlier Tuesday, Superior Court Justice Andrew Goodman gave Lich a stern warning before she was allowed to leave the courtroom.
“It must be crystal clear to you by now that the authorities are monitoring your every action,” he told her. He added that should she return for another bail review, he thinks it would be unlikely that she would be released again.
Lich is charged with mischief, obstructing police, intimidation and counselling others to commit mischief for her role in the massive protest.
Let that be a lesson to anyone who embarrasses Justin: sexual offenders will be tolerated but not anyone who makes him wet his pants in pure terror.

CTV’s Glen McGregor (the bald guy in a blue suit) just committed more violence while “reporting” on the trucker convoy than all the convoy’s participants committed in their entire existence. https://t.co/3H8N2EyEAI

Mrs. Lich would not be imprisoned were it not for the government's loyal Gestapo (and the federal banks):
Police compiled a blacklist of names of crowdfunders linked to the Freedom Convoy, according to Access To Information records. A secret list of individuals and their credit ratings was sent to Farm Credit Canada, a Crown bank: “Follow the money.”

The Commons ethics committee yesterday voted 6-5 to investigate whether the RCMP spied on parliamentarians. The probe follows an admission from police they used spyware to monitor smartphones: “Why? For what purpose?”
**
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said that the conference call between herself and other top officers had several misunderstandings, which has led to confusion on whether the Trudeau Liberals put pressure on her to release information on the Nova Scotia mass shooter's weapons.
Lucki denied on Monday that she told detectives to make the details of the weapons used public, and denied that pressure came from then-Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
As untrustworthy as their bosses:
Public Works Minister Filomena Tassi called police over contracting irregularities, records show. Staff in Tassi’s department discovered an unidentified consultant falsified time sheets and billed identical hours to several federal agencies at the same time: “The case has been referred to the RCMP.”

I have not travelled anywhere else where the citizens and the government are more neurotically “concerned” about the pandemic. It may have escaped Canadians’ notice, but virtually nowhere else in the developed world is it now required to wear a mask, as is still mandatory in many of Canada’s airports and on flights out of our benighted country. There is absolutely no excuse for this, except the punitive self-righteousness of the Trudeau Liberals. What else might you expect, however, from a government that also includes Chrystia Freeland, a deputy prime minister who has bragged about her colleagues’ appalling economic performance, claiming that it is actually good for Canadians to empty their wallets at the gas pumps, because of its implications in fighting the “climate emergency.” I simply cannot believe that this absolute failure of economic policy is now being trumpeted as a positive accomplishment. Here’s a hint for you saintly progressives: if you cared about the poor (the real poor, not the hypothetical poor you are hypothetically saving in the future), you would seek to drive down the cost of energy — energy that is precisely equivalent to work and, therefore, to the wealth that ameliorates poverty. ...
... here’s an additional selection, peppered with some questions: How have Canadians failed to realize that our government holds them in contempt? That Trudeau believes that his God-given mission is to elevate the consciousness of his citizens, instead of serving their interests, economically and practically? That the Trudeau Liberals are perfectly willing to make us all poor, miserable and demoralized just to utterly fail in their efforts to save the planet? That the agents of that party and government are, as previously noted, perfectly willing and eager to trumpet that aim, which can be easily attained through the wretched combination of incompetence and moral Machiavellianism that characterizes the Trudeauites, as a moral accomplishment? That we could be the freest, richest, cleanest country in the world but that we are trying hard to be none of those three? That we are dividing ourselves among racial lines that are more germane to the U.S., just to mimic the very progressive radicals whose policies are dooming the Democrats to what appears to be their worst electoral defeat in at least 50 years? That all the data on the environmental front indicates that the fastest way to improve the ecosystems on which we all depend is to make people richer, not poorer (and to do that with good old capitalism) so they have the luxury to think about the long run and the habitat of their children?
And I have said nothing about additional issues such as Bill C-11, which is perhaps the most appalling piece of legislation currently on the books (and that’s a tough competition), which renders virtually every internet content provider in the world subject to the rules that should not even still govern the CBC and CTV (despite their use of scarce public airwaves), and which will make the rules regulating the net in Canada some of the most absurd and restrictive in the free world (and beyond). Or that we are pursuing an energy policy generated by ideologues that will not only impoverish our populace by making energy unreasonably expensive (have you noticed, Canadians, when you fill up your unnecessary vehicles at the pumps?) but that will only increase the probability that countries such as China will have to rely on coal to produce electricity instead of accessing, say, our plentiful natural gas. And that will therefore make the CO2 burden borne by the atmosphere greater instead of lesser. And, just last week (and in the aftermath of the Dutch farmer protests), that we are trying to reduce the absolute levels of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide produced by those who grow our food regardless of the amount of those crops produced in consequence. And that we’re doing that by threat and force — shades of COVID policy — instead of working with the farmers to find mutually acceptable and truly sustainable economic and environmental solutions.
(Sidebar: these Dutch.)
Do Canadians care that their government hates them?
No.
Fatted calves don't care where the grass comes from, only that they get it.
Let's segue into what is in store for us:
Grace Jo was born in North Korea, a place where she almost starved to death as a child. Two of Grace’s brothers died of starvation. Grace’s father was tortured and starved to death, he passed away when North Korean agents transferred him from a detention center to a jail and his “crime” was that he left his country in search of food for his family. One of Grace’s older sisters went to China to find food for her family, but went missing and was probably sold into human trafficking. Grace was repatriated twice to North Korea by the Chinese government, and suffered imprisonment after she was repatriated. Grace’s mother and one of Grace’s sisters were repatriated four times and suffered torture after repatriation.
What a thought that Canada could be among the same numbers as victims of Nazism or Stalinism.
Hyperbolic?
I'm not the one trying to stop industrial farming.
Two men charged for shooting Air India conspirator:
Two men have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Ripudaman Singh Malik.
Malik, the man acquitted in 2005 for the bombings of two Air India jets, was shot in his vehicle outside his business in Surrey, B.C., on July 14.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 21-year-old Tanner Fox and 23-year-old Jose Lopez have been charged.
Note that CTV makes pains to show that he was "acquitted".
That plane didn't blow up itself.
Allegedly.
The Canadian government hates veterans:
The Department of National Defence says it will not bow to “public pressure” on whether to award a Canadian combat veteran the Victoria Cross for the first time in 78 years. MPs and petitioners have sought consideration for an Afghan War hero: “Awarding national honours is designed to be insulated from political influence and public pressure.”
It will never be enough:
Indigenous groups in the United States are echoing Canadian complaints about the Pope’s apology to survivors of residential schools north of the border.
The National Congress of American Indians acknowledged the apology from Pope Francis as a historic moment, but is pressing the church to do more.
Also:
In contrast to the insistence of some Christians today that certain pagan superstitions ought to be accepted in the name of inculturation — such as the “smudging” ceremony of “purification” practiced by native tribes in North America, in which the Pope will take part — the first indigenous converts to Christianity in Canada not only embraced the Catholic Faith wholeheartedly, abandoning all superstitions, but they esteemed the Jesuit missionaries so much that they entreated them to remain with their tribes when the missionaries were considering a return to safety in the French settlements.
According to the memoirs of the missionaries, titled Relationes, in northern Ontario in 1649, after the Iroquois had driven the Huron tribes from their own lands through incessant warfare, and following the brutal martyrdom of St. John de Brebeuf, leader of the Jesuit mission to the natives of New France, twelve Huron chiefs approached the blackrobes on the Island of St. Joseph to present them with gifts and beg them not to abandon them in their time of trial.
We went from "bake the cake" to "give us our g-d- snacks, you hater!" that we hardly noticed:
The response to a donations request for a rock climbing and barbecue event in Canada’s Rocky Mountains has gone viral for its overt transphobia and QAnon-like “child grooming” conspiracy theory.
On Monday, Canmore Pride asked Valbella Gourmet Foods for donations to this year’s Pride event, like they had done successfully with other area businesses.
But the response they got on Tuesday morning was not what they expected.
“You could not pay me to sponsor anything to do with child grooming tranny’s [sic],” an email from “Jeff von Rotz” said where the author identified himself as owner.
Now, why would that guy say such a thing?
Oh! I know!:
Newly-opened Dallas gay bar "Mr. Misster" hosted a "child friendly" drag show Saturday, where signs read "It's not gonna lick itself" and "I licked it so it's mine."
For some reason, that puts people right off.
Also - b@$#@rds:
The FDA recently added a warning to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists—known to most as "puberty blockers"—after having identified a serious potential side effect for some that may cause a dangerous surge of spinal fluid pressure in the brain, that can cause headaches, nausea, double vision, and even permanent vision loss.
The taxpayers, not this nebulous entity called the "public healthcare system", pays for this:
“The best thing about this is the guarantee: I can come in here four times a day and get it,” Chris said. He no longer spends all of his waking hours in a frantic scrabble of panhandling and “other stuff” to scrape up the cash to pay a dealer. He won’t get arrested — and he won’t overdose and die using a drug that is not what it is sold as.
This fentanyl dispensary is legal, and Canada’s public health system finances it.
Did everyone forget about Taiwan?:
Taiwan’s president boarded a warship Tuesday to watch the country’s largest-ever military drills amid warnings that China could move to invade Taiwan within a year and a half.
Tsai Ing-wen, dressed in combat fatigues, oversaw her armed forces’ simulated efforts to push back an invading force, which included air-raid exercises across the island of 24 million people.
“Let’s continue to guard our homeland together. Good job,” she said from aboard a decommissioned U.S. Kidd-class missile destroyer. It was only her second time on a navy ship in her six years in office.
Twenty warships including frigates and destroyers fired shells to intercept a would-be invasion off Taiwan’s northeast coast, while fleets of F-16 fighter jets and domestically manufactured Ching-kuo fighters launched airstrikes.
Island-wide drills this year include repulsion of an invading force at a harbour near the capital Taipei, urban combat practice by the reservist force, and an exercise to transfer jets across Taiwan to bunkers dug out of the side of mountains on the remote east coast to withstand a first wave of missile attacks.
A big pink diamond of 170 carats has been discovered in Angola and is claimed to be the largest such gemstone found in 300 years.
Called the “Lulo Rose," the diamond was found at the Lulo alluvial diamond mine, the mine's owner, the Lucapa Diamond Company, announced Wednesday on its website.
The Lulo mine has already produced the two largest diamonds ever found in Angola, including a 404-carat clear diamond.
The pink gemstone is the fifth largest diamond found at the mine where 27 diamonds of 100 carats or more have been found, according to Lucapa, which is based in Australia.
The pink diamond will be sold by international tender by the Angolan state diamond marketing company, Sodiam. Angola's mines make it one of the world's top 10 producers of diamonds.
