Rather than remove Conservatives from committees, they’re just increasing the number of members on committees to give them majority control over every one. Of course that also comes with the extra cost to taxpayers as MP’s get extra for being on a committee 🇨🇦

Dr. Robert Lustig didn’t hold back on Steven Bartlett’s podcast. He looked at ultra-processed food and delivered a brutal one-liner: “If it doesn’t help you grow and it doesn’t help you burn energy… then it’s not food. It’s a poison.” He broke it down: too much sugar (poisons mitochondria), not enough fiber (drives inflammation), missing omega-3s (hurts brain function), loaded with emulsifiers (rips up your gut), plus petroleum-based dyes and additives that are mutagenic. And the data keeps piling up — ultra-processed food is now linked to basically every modern disease, including dementia. Even diet sweeteners are getting dragged into the conversation via reactive oxygen species. It’s a pretty damning redefinition of what most of us are eating every day. How much of your current diet would you honestly classify as “food” versus “poison” after hearing this? Be real.

"They seized my baby and sliced him in two with a knife. My second child woke up ... They split his head with a machete." THIS IS THE REALITY FOR NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS. When will the world wake up?!

@efloresmonsanto @TPSMyronDemkiw Disgusting. Shameful conduct by @TPSOperations

Did taxpayers pay for underage "youth" drag queens to perform for @TPSMyronDemkiw and fellow Toronto police officers?

🇨🇦: oh my. 😬 🇨🇦’s space program is paying $200m to a Ukrainian-American company called MLS to use its “launch pad”—a concrete slab on gravel at the end of a dirt road in Nova Scotia. …. run by some interesting characters. halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/eve…

Steven MacKinnon says he thinks a rocket could be launched from Canada within two to three years.

I promise I am not joking... This is Canada's spaceport. Last month, the federal government paid $200 million to a company called Maritime Launch Services to lease it for 10 years.

“Hey, I’ve got a story for you. My coworker told me today about an incident that happened on March 28 (which, admittedly, she took far too long to mention). She ordered food and a coffee through Uber. When the driver arrived, security cameras captured him cleaning a spill from the coffee lid by licking it. He then blew his nose into a napkin and used that same napkin to wipe the lid, just seconds before handing it to her. Security stopped her from drinking it before it was too late. I have video of the incident and photos of the driver. I thought it was important for people to be aware that their food may not always be safe, especially when it isn’t in a sealed bag. My coworker contacted Uber. They said they would investigate and offered her a refund, but nothing further. EPS said it was a civil matter that has to go through Uber.” - Submitted in the DMs.

They did not take cursive from the schools because children no longer needed it. They took it because of what it was quietly building in them. Consider what the exercise actually is. A child, six years old, is handed a pen and asked to draw a single unbroken line that becomes a word. The wrist must float. The fingers must hold a living pressure, never quite the same twice, always correcting. The eye must follow the ink forward and trust the hand to finish what it has begun. There is no lifting, no stopping, no starting over mid-word. The loop must close. The ascender must rise and return. The sentence must travel from one margin to the other as a single continuous gesture, and at the end of it the hand must still be steady. Twelve years of this. Every day. Ten thousand small acts of sustained, self-correcting attention, carried out below the level of conscious thought, until the motion belongs to the body and the body belongs to the motion. This is not penmanship. It is the slow construction of an interior form. The hand that has learned to carry a line without breaking it is the hand of a mind that has learned to carry a thought without breaking it. The two are not metaphors for one another. They are the same faculty, trained in the same child, by the same daily discipline. Continuity of the stroke becomes continuity of the reasoning. The patience of the loop becomes the patience of the argument. The commitment to finish a word one has started becomes the commitment to finish a sentence, a paragraph, a life's idea, without reaching for the nearest distraction halfway through. Print is a different creature entirely. Print lifts. Print stops. Print assembles a word out of separate, stamped, interchangeable pieces, each one beginning and ending in isolation. A mind raised only on print learns to think the way print is made, in discrete tokens, in replaceable units, in fragments that can be recombined by any outside hand without the owner noticing the substitution. It is precisely the shape of thought a language model produces. It is precisely the shape of thought a language model can steer. Cursive is kata. This is the whole of it. A form repeated daily, for years, not for the sake of the form but for what the repetition lays down in the practitioner beneath the form. The swordsman does not train kata so that one day he may fight in kata. He trains it so that when the moment comes and there is no time to think, the movement is already inside him, older and deeper than thought, and it rises on its own. Cursive was the kata of the literate mind, the daily quiet drilling of continuity, of patience, of a line held steady under the long pressure of its own length. And the signature it produced at the end, that small flourished mark unique to a single human being on earth, was only the outward proof of an inward form no machine and no other hand could ever reproduce. Take the kata away and the practitioner is left with vocabulary in place of faculty. He can recognise a whole thought when he encounters one. He cannot carry one himself. He can admire a finished argument. He cannot sustain one long enough to close its loop. He begins books he does not finish, sentences he does not end, ideas he abandons the moment the screen in his palm offers him a brighter one. And when the machine begins feeding him tokens in the exact shape his schooling taught him to receive, he meets it with no interior resistance at all, because no interior form was ever built in him to push back with. They removed it quietly, across a generation, and they removed it in the last years before the machines arrived. Twelve years of daily practice in unbroken, embodied, self-authored thought, gone from the curriculum of almost every child in the Western world, just as the instruments designed to complete their sentences for them came online. The hand forgets. The mind, having never been taught the kata, forgets a thing it never knew it had. That is what cursive was. That is what was taken. And that is why the thought of anyone who still writes by hand, in long unlifted lines, remains, quietly, stubbornly, and without their ever needing to announce it, their own. Now the question stands open. What else has been banned, phased out, quietly retired from the curriculum and from common life over these same decades, under the same soft excuses? Mental arithmetic. Memorisation of poetry. Latin. Logic as a formal subject. Map reading. Knot work. The keeping of a commonplace book. The reading aloud of long passages in class. Singing in parts. What was each of those actually building in the child, beneath the surface of the lesson, and whose interest was served by its disappearance?

Stories like this break my heart. 💔 The child was locked in his room, alone, for extended periods of time. Sitting at the door, in his diaper, waiting for an adult to take care of him. Why won’t these judges protect the innocent? This ruling isn’t justice, it’s a twisted form of empathy that prioritizes the offender's narrative over the survivors' trauma. It represents a dangerous precedent. 🚫There should be NO EXCUSES to justify child abuse. Full stop.

Una ganadera francesa anuncia que deja su explotación después de que el Estado vacunara su rebaño con dardos Christelle Record llevaba casi diez años con una explotación sin productos químicos en Ariege. Su arqumento para neqarse a la vacunación obligatoria contra la dermatosis nodular: sus animales tenían inmunidad natural. El precio de mantenerlo: 22.500 € de multa, suspensión de actividad y finalmente una intervención cor gendarmes, cadena humana y dardos.

I had to leave the legal practice to tell you guys the truth. Reconciliation is just a form of legalized extortion.

Lausunto digi-id:stä pahuuden ytimestä. Digitaalinen henkilöllisyystodistus tulee olemaan digitaalinen kaksonen sinusta. Tässä se tulee! Euroopan unionilla ei ole lainsäädännöllistä valtaa määrätä tätä henkilöllisyystodistusjärjestelmää koska EU ei ole valtio tai maa. EU ei voi istua jäsenvaltioiden tuolilla. Siksi jäsenvaltiot voivat kieltäytyä toteuttamasta digitaalista henkilöllisyystodistusta. Ja toivon todella, että näin tapahtuu. Ja EU-kansalaisille neuvoni on olla pitämättä digitaalista henkilöllisyystodistusta. Jos sinulla on sellainen, hankkiudu vain eroon siitä.
