Your middle-of-the-week protein shake …
Your tyrannical government and you:
A cabinet bill that grants postal inspectors new powers to open mail without a warrant is unlawful, Conservative critics said yesterday. “It is an assault on all Canadians,” said MP Roman Baber (York Centre, Ont.).

As Justice Minister Sean Fraser prepares to table his bill to legislate against the obstruction of places of worship, schools, and community centres, he says he wants to see it passed quickly.
That bill, which would fulfil commitments made in the Liberal platform, is expected to be tabled this week, making it the first major piece of legislation to be introduced by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals since returning for the fall sitting of Parliament.
I see.
Now, does that mean that churches won’t be burned down and
Jews will not be attacked?:
The ruling, made by a Quebec Court judge Monday, comes after a psychiatric assessment found that Sergio Yanes Preciado was suffering from a mental disorder, likely schizophrenia, at the time of the attack and was incapable of understanding that his actions were wrong.
Preciado had been charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm after the Aug. 8 attack in the Parc-Extension neighbourhood, which was captured on video by a witness. The victim, 32, was walking in Dickie-Moore Park with his three young children when Preciado sprayed water at him, according to the psychiatric assessment.
The father then advanced toward Preciado, seeking an explanation. Preciado is then alleged to have pushed his victim and struck him in the face until he fell to the ground. Preciado then struck the victim in the neck and head with his fists, knees and feet, the report says.

They arrested Gezim Topalli Tuesday at his Halifax home. He’s slated to appear in Halifax provincial court Wednesday on three counts of mischief related to religious property, three counts of property damage and public incitement of hatred.
Topalli allegedly sprayed a swastika on the Shaar Shalom synagogue, on Oxford Street, overnight last Saturday. He also allegedly painted graffiti on the Beth Israel synagogue, a few blocks away. A nearby building associated with the Chabad-Lubavitch of the Maritimes Rohr Family Institute was also defaced …
I didn’t think so.
Also – oh, the GOVERNMENT says so!
Well
… :
Newly released documents show federal public safety officials quietly expressed concern over the tech industry’s ability to curb the spread of extremist and terrorist content online after sector-wide layoffs.
The documents, released to the National Post under federal access-to-information legislation, were prepared ahead of a 2023 meeting with Google, which owns YouTube, as well as a meeting with X, formerly known as Twitter.
Officials specifically reported the rise in terrorist and extremist materials found on the platforms in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.
First of all, everyone
laid off by Google and (the artist formerly known as Twitter) x were chaff,
anyway.
So there’s that.
Secondly, the
Liberal government does not give one single mountain-dwelling care about
Jews or Christians or non-Liberals in this country.
Big Brother, is my point.
It’s only crime:
After months of Canadian police agencies saying they’ve been overwhelmed by the consequences of “catch and release” justice, some have now taken to calling out the actions of specific judges and prosecutors they deem responsible.
On Monday, the Toronto Police Association directly blamed judges for a case in which a 12-year-old on a release order was alleged to have participated in the beating death of a Toronto homeless man.
“Where are the judges who make these decisions?” wrote the association in a Monday statement that said police had also shared their concerns with the federal government. “Our members are held accountable for the decisions they make and the actions they take. Why isn’t anyone else?”
This followed only a few days after the Edmonton Police took the unprecedented step of slamming Crown prosecutors for failing to pursue murder charges against a woman accused of killing an eight-year-old Indigenous girl.
Much of the case’s details are shielded by a publication ban, but the victim went missing in 2023 from an Alberta home and her body was later found abandoned in a hockey bag in the back of a pickup truck.
Nevertheless, Crown prosecutors agreed to a deal in which the girl’s accused killer would plead guilty to manslaughter and avoid prosecution for murder.
In response, Edmonton Police called on provincial officials to annul the deal, threatening to publicly release key details of the case if the plea went ahead.
“What we expect from the Crown — what you and the public should expect — is that the Crown is a zealous advocate for justice. Unfortunately, so far, we have not seen that in this case,” read a letter by EPS executive director of legal services Megan Hankewich.

Distraction theft is when the victim’s attention is diverted. The suspects take that as an opportunity to steal or to gain entrance into homes.
In the video released by the police, the suspect is identified as a 40-year-old female. The woman rings the door bell and waits until the elderly homeowner comes to the door at which point the suspect hugs and kisses the homeowner and puts a fake necklace around her neck while stealing a gold one. There is a steady stream of conversation during which time the victim doesn’t notice anything amiss, instead she thanks the suspect for the greetings and the fake necklace that the victim, from what it appears in the video, perceives as a gift.

A teacher in British Columbia who had exchanged hundreds of “increasingly personal and intimate messages” with a student has been banned from the job for 15 years. Between the two, more than 1,000 calls were made over the phone, according to a summary of the consent resolution agreement published Tuesday.
The secondary school teacher and the student — who have not been identified in the document released by the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation — started using the school’s Microsoft Teams messaging platform to speak to each other. There were more than 190 messages sent over a three-week period. Most of the Teams messages were sent between 8 p.m. and midnight.
“These messages included giving each other compliments about their physical appearance and about having a slow dance together,” per the consent agreement.
The relationship escalated after a school event, when the two exchanged Teams messages about the teacher picking up the student at the end of the evening. The student shared their cellphone number with the teacher. Over the following 16 months, more than 1,000 phone calls were made between them, with many of the calls lasting more than an hour and a half.
According to the consent agreement, the teacher was “dishonest about having contact with the student” when questioned by the B.C. school district. The district reported the teacher to the commissioner on March 8, 2024. The teacher was suspended that day.
More than a month later, on April 17, the teacher’s certificate of qualification was suspended.
And
you want to know why people are leaving public schools for charter schools.
Canadians should brace for billions in new borrowing to be detailed next week in an updated five-year estimate of overspending, Interim Parliamentary Budget Officer Jason Jacques said yesterday. Testifying at the Commons government operations committee, Jacques said there was no question cabinet’s 2025 deficit will be much steeper than indicated: “The government wants to take 10 months before they put up an Excel spreadsheet that indicates what their deficit estimates are for the next five years.”
Also:
Management of the Canada Dental Care Plan has cost taxpayers nearly a half billion so far. The figure, concealed for years by cabinet, was disclosed yesterday: “I’ve heard rumours floating around that it’s quite excessive.”
Former Justice Minister David Lametti will be leaving his job as principal secretary to Prime Minister Mark Carney after just a couple of months on the job, sources tell CBC News.
Lametti, who played hockey alongside Carney at the University of Oxford, announced his appointment in July with a photo of himself with the prime minister posted on social media.
The position is one of the most senior in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), considered key in handling Carney's political and policy agenda. Lametti also served as an adviser during the federal election campaign.
He was hired to replace Tom Pitfield, who had been filling in on an interim basis but has not yet left the PMO.
Lametti previously represented the Montreal riding of LaSalle-Émard-Verdun and served as justice minister in Justin Trudeau's government until he was dropped from cabinet in 2023.
Five sources spoke to CBC News on the condition of confidentiality because they were not authorized to discuss the internal workings of the government.
Three sources say Lametti is a contender for a diplomatic posting.
The PMO did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
When asked whether he was departing and possibly taking on a new role, Lametti replied "no comment."
Yes, but who is
actually accountable?:
Criminal investigations are underway into nine separate cases of suspected IT billing fraud at federal departments and agencies, the highest figure disclosed to date. A majority were referred to the RCMP following a separate 2024 police raid at the offices of a lead ArriveCan contractor: “The RCMP will not be providing any further information.”
In reality, Raikin, by reviewing Health Canada reports 2019 to 2023, said “at least 42 per cent of all MAiD deaths were of persons who required disability services, including over 1,017 persons who required but did not receive these services.” Under closer examination, in 2019 there were 87 MAiD clients who required disability supports but did not receive them, and in 2023 that annual figure grew to 432 such individuals.
The 2019-2023 period also saw 19,720 Canadians who required disability services and received them dying of euthanasia. The annual figure grew 233 per cent from 2,223 in 2019 to 5,181 in 2023.
Vachon, the official spokesperson for the report, told The Catholic Register that “it really is quite sad” to read that a growing number of Canadians who request disability services are proceeding with assisted suicide because they are not receiving that help. She said there are also concerns that thousands of Canadians with disabilities receiving help are still ultimately being euthanized.
“The data we have doesn’t tell us anything about the adequacy of the services,” said Vachon. “The fact that so many people then are receiving MAiD, I think continues to raise questions about the adequacy of the services provided.”
