David Hogg is back in the news.

The Parkland High School graduate became of darling of the left when he came out against gun rights following the horrible shooting at his high school by a deranged youth who had been on the FBI radar for months before his homicidal attack that left 17 dead.

Hogg was later accepted at Harvard after 12 schools turned him down.

David Hogg is now making the rounds to push for gun control as American cities descend into chaos thanks to Democrat politicians. Continue…

Six European Nations Sign an Agreement To Protect the North Sea Offshore and Underwater Energy Infrastructure From ‘Hostile Attacks’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/six-european-nations-sign-agreement-protect-north-sea/

Among the many different ways in which the war in Ukraine has disrupted the geopolitical realities in Europe, energy is certainly one of the most critical.

Nations have been scrambling to provide a steady power supply for both industrial needs and to keep the population warm and the lights on.

The massive sanctions against Moscow also meant that many in the old continent had to find new suppliers to substitute the inexpensive Russian gas.

In this context, the North Sea stands out as a vital area of interest.

We learn now that Britain and other countries with maritime borders on the North Sea signed an agreement to work together and protect offshore and underwater infrastructure.

The six countries involved are Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Germany, Norway and the Netherlands. They signed a declaration in which they jointly vow to share information to that end.

Popular Kids Meal Lunchables Found To Have High Levels of Lead and Ingredients Linked to Cancer

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/popular-kids-meal-lunchables-found-have-high-levels/

A new study from Consumer Reports revealed that popular kids’ food Lunchables contains concerning amounts of lead in its pre-packaged meals.

Consumer Reports tested 12 Lunchable products in a study and discovered that five contained over 50% more lead than California’s legal amount.

Parents have been using Lunchables for decades for quick lunches, but the Consumer Report’s latest revelation might make parents reconsider their decision to feed their children the prepackaged lunch that usually consists of deli meat, cheese, and crackers.

Amy Keating, a dietitian at Consumer Report, stated, “There’s a lot to be concerned about in these kits.”

“They’re highly processed, and regularly eating processed meat, a main ingredient in many of these products, has been linked to increased risk of some cancers.” added Keating. Continue…

Shameless Liar Whoopi Goldberg Says Republicans Want to Bring Back Slavery (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/shameless-liar-whoopi-goldberg-says-republicans-want-bring/

Whoopi Goldberg recently said on The View that Republicans want to bring back slavery.

This is a vicious lie that is meant to sow fear and also betrays Whoopi’s ignorance of American history. The Republican party was founded to end slavery in the United States, which was supported by Democrats. Why would Republicans want to bring back something that they fought to end?

This is just like when Biden famously said to black voters that Mitt Romney wants to ‘put y’all back in chains.’

This is all the left has now. Telling lies to scare people into voting Democrat.

This could escalate quickly. Israel already announced an attack on Iran in response to any attack from Iranian territory. Continue…

Argentina’s Former President Alberto Fernández Has His Assets Frozen, His Tax and Banking Secrecy Lifted – Failed Socialist Leader Is Accused of Corruption

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/argentinas-former-president-alberto-fernandez-has-his-assets/

Unless you were brainwashed by the MSM Globalists, it was painful to follow the coverage of the last Argentine Presidential election, in which the winner Javier Milei, with his common sense economic ideas, was branded as ‘dangerous’ ‘radical,’ and the inevitable ‘far-right.’,

In the meantime, the Peronist socialists, legitimate heirs of the brutal dictator Juan Perón, were treated like the sensible choice – never mind that they destroyed the once-prosperous country and drove 60% of the citizens below the poverty line.

After all, socialists and Globalists are always the good guys for the crooked fake media.

Former President Alberto Fernández led a disastrous government and was so unpopular that he didn’t even run for reelection.

Now, it arises that may not have been just an extremely incompetent leader, but allegedly, also deeply corrupt. Continue…

Hidden Behind Climate Policies, Data From Nonexistent Temperature Stations

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hidden-behind-climate-policies-data-nonexistent-temperature-stations

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts July, August, and September will be hotter than usual. And for those who view warmer temperatures as problematic, that’s a significant cause for concern.

“Earth’s issuing a distress call,” said United Nations secretary-general António Guterres on March 19. “The latest State of the Global Climate report shows a planet on the brink.

“Fossil fuel pollution is sending climate chaos off the charts. Sirens are blaring across all major indicators: Last year saw record heat, record sea levels, and record ocean surface temperatures. … Some records aren’t just chart-topping, they’re chart-busting.”

President Joe Biden called the climate “an existential threat” in his 2023 State of the Union address. “Let’s face reality. The climate crisis doesn’t care if you’re in a red or a blue state.”

In his 2024 address he said, “I don’t think any of you think there’s no longer a climate crisis. At least, I hope you don’t.”

When recalling past temperatures to make comparisons to the present, and, more importantly, inform future climate policy, officials such as Mr. Guterres and President Biden rely in part on temperature readings from the United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN).

The network was established to provide an “accurate, unbiased, up-to-date historical climate record for the United States,” NOAA states, and it has recorded more than 100 years of daily maximum and minimum temperatures from stations across the United States.

The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of USHCN’s stations don’t exist anymore.

“They are physically gone—but still report data—like magic,” said Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, a certified consulting meteorologist.

“NOAA fabricates temperature data for more than 30 percent of the 1,218 USHCN reporting stations that no longer exist.”

He calls them “ghost” stations. Continue…

Medical college censorship could have “chilling effect” on speech, anti-lockdown doc argues

https://tnc.news/2024/04/11/medical-college-censorship-chilling-effect-speech1/

Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill and her lawyer Lisa Bildy challenged the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario’s decision to place “cautions” on her record as a medical practitioner due to three online posts she made in 2020.

Gill is a physician practicing in Milton and Brampton, Ont., who specializes in pediatrics, allergies, clinical immunology, microbiology, virology, and vaccinology, and has worked at the National Microbiology Laboratory, Canada’s highest security level-4 biosafety lab.

Gill has never had a complaint from her patients and, before the wave of complaints levied against her in the summer of 2020 from internet activists, had a spotless record.

Bildy argued that Gill’s posts required context as she had a “reasonable scientific basis” for her commentary, which the medical college ignored in its original assessment.

“The committee’s decisions were neither reasonable nor justified and they failed to engage with the central issues for which Dr. Gill was being cautioned,” Bildy said during a Wednesday court hearing.

She argued the comments were not verifiably false and they were only under scrutiny because they deviated from the college and government’s position at the time.

“The decision starts with the premise that doctors have to comply.”

She argued if doctors are unable to criticize government medical policies, it creates a “chilling effect” on those who would otherwise speak up about potentially crucial issues.

Counsel for the college, Sayran Sulevani, challenged this assertion.

“There is no evidence of a chilling effect on speech,” Sulevani said. Continue…

Vancouver wants to regulate magic mushroom retailers

https://tnc.news/2024/04/11/vancouver-regulate-magic-mushroom-retailers/

Vancouver, known for its lax drug enforcement and marijuana culture, is now contemplating regulating magic mushrooms and other psychedelic drugs.

Councillors Pete Fry and Adrian Carr have submitted a motion to city council to create a regulatory framework for the retail sales of psilocybin and similar substances in the city.

The motion highlights the rapid increase in unlicensed and unregulated shops selling magic mushrooms and other entheogens in recent years. Despite these drugs being classified as controlled substances, there has been little to no prosecution or conviction of their retailers.

Additionally, there are currently no specific business license regulations governing their sale or display in Vancouver.

Entheogens, psychoactive substances used for spiritual, therapeutic, and inspirational purposes, have a long history of use by Indigenous peoples worldwide, argued the councillors.

Examples include cannabis, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), peyote, and kratom. These substances are gaining popularity among Vancouverites, with recreational use doubling in the last three years. Continue…

Creditors downgrade BC’s credit for the third time due to mounting NDP deficits

https://tnc.news/2024/04/11/creditors-downgrade-bcs-credit-deficits/

British Columbia’s credit is falling thanks to the NDP government’s historic deficits.

S&P Global Ratings has downgraded the province’s credit rating for the third time.

S&P Global Ratings changed the province’s credit rating from AA to AA- on Monday, putting it on par with countries like Slovenia and Estonia. Another credit hit would have B.C. join countries like Kuwait and Bermuda in the A+ rating

“The negative outlook reflects a one-in-three chance that we could lower the ratings in the next two years if, in our view, the province’s commitment to fiscal consolidation continues to waver, as reflected by persistent large after-capital deficits,” said the credit rating agency.

The agency added that B.C.’s credit rating could be lowered further if it maintains its current fiscal trajectory, consisting of sizable deficits and free cash flow less than 40% of the following year’s debt service.

“Lack of a medium- and longer-term view and commitment to ensure fiscal sustainability could also affect the rating,” added S&P Global Ratings. Continue…

Conservative motion demanding Trudeau meets with premiers about carbon tax passes

https://tnc.news/2024/04/11/conservative-motion-trudeau-meets-premiers-passes/

Canada’s premiers might get their wish to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss the carbon tax.

After a surprising turn of events, the Conservative’s opposition motion calling on Trudeau to convene an emergency meeting passed, with the unexpected support of the NDP and Bloc Québecois.

The non-binding motion, debated on Tuesday and spearheaded by Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, calls for Trudeau to gather all of Canada’s 14 first ministers to discuss the levy.

The opposition motion to hold a televised carbon tax emergency meeting was voted on Wednesday and passed despite Liberal MPs’ opposition.

The motion calls for the meeting to address “(a) the ongoing carbon tax crisis and the financial burden it places on Canadians, (b) the Prime Minister’s recent 23% carbon tax increase, (c) plans for provinces to opt-out of the federal carbon tax to pursue other responsible ideas to lower emissions.”

The opposition motion states the reasoning for its demands, considering Canada ranks 62 out of 67 countries on the Climate Change Performance Index, even with the federal government’s current environmental plan in place.

“And that this meeting be publicly televised and held within five weeks of this motion being adopted,” concluded the motion.

During the debate on Tuesday, NDP MP Laurel Collins called out Trudeau on his climate policy.

“The Prime Minister wants to use it to divide Canadians. He does not see fighting the climate crisis as an opportunity to unite people to take on this existential crisis. Instead, he uses it as a political wedge,” said Collins. Continue…

Bill Blair accuses Rebel reporter of 'assuming facts' in Han Dong-Chinese interference scandal

https://www.rebelnews.com/bill_blair_accuses_rebel_reporter_of_assuming_facts_in_han_dong_chinese_interference_scandal

'We have some intelligence reporting that we have responded to, you're now assuming facts, and that's a different thing,' said the defence minister.

Rebel News' Alexa Lavoie confronted Defence Minister Bill Blair on Wednesday regarding the potential wrongdoings of former Liberal MP Han Dong after China allegedly bussed in foreign nationals to vote for him.

Blair was asked by Lavoie if he still believes Dong is free from wrongdoing, given the calibre of Chinese government election meddling that has been revealed during the Foreign Interference Committee in the past few days.

"We have some intelligence reporting that we have responded to, you're now assuming facts, and that's a different thing," Blair—who was the public safety minister at the time of the alleged wrongdoing—said before abruptly walking away. Continue…

“Ideology Killed Canadian Dream” Says Former Chief Of Defence

https://www.truth11.com/untitled-1522/

Rick J. Hillier is a retired Canadian Forces General who served as Chief of Defence Staff from February 2005 to July 2008. In 2011, he was made an officer of the Order of Canada for his service to his country.

In 2009, Hillier co-founded Project Hero, a scholarship program for the children of Canadian Forces personnel killed while on active military duty.

General Hillier is that rarest of creatures within the spectrum of modern-day Canadian politics. This man is a patriot, and therefore bound to be loathed by Canada’s cabal of woke globalist warriors.

Headed up by PM Justin Trudeau, “post-modernists” loathe patriotism, nationalism and dedication to country. Ironically, it’s acceptable to them when it comes to countries our Liberal government ship billions of dollars to each year.

India, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Somalia— name any of more than three dozen nations on the receiving end of so-called “foreign aid,” and the leftists have not a shred of difficulty accepting their nationalist tendencies. In a case of outrageous irony, the patriotism buck stops when it comes to Canada.

Speaking of the current state-of-society, Hillier delivered a critique this week in the National Post:

“The Canadian dream, so wonderfully launched in 1867 with the partnership that was the Dominion of Canada, is dead. Killed by ideology masking as leadership. Slaughtered by economic suicide posing as climate control.”

For CAP, this stands as the most accurate assessment of Canadian society in eons. Bang on the money it is. To whom shall we attribute its accuracy to? Continue…

National March for Life will rally Canadians in defense of the right to life for all

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/national-march-for-life-will-rally-canadians-in-defense-of-the-right-to-life-for-all/

The 27th National March for Life will gather Canadians from across the country to stand up for the rights of the unborn and other vulnerable human beings.

The 27th National March for Life is set to take place next month, when Canadians of all ages will gather to defend and celebrate life in all its stages.

On Thursday, May 9, the National March for Life, organized by the pro-life group

Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), will draw Canadians from across the country to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, to rally and march for the unborn.

“It is so important to be present in the nation’s capital to demonstrate that life is sacred from conception to natural death,” event organizer Debbie Duval told LifeSiteNews.

“As you may know, we hold the march on the Thursday closest to the date in 1969 on which Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and other MPs removed legal protection from the unborn,” she explained. “We march on a Thursday because our elected representatives are still here in Ottawa, instead of their home ridings, and can see us standing up for the dignity of each person.” Continue…

Maxime Bernier slams Poilievre over his support for UN pro-abortion Paris Climate Agreement

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/maxime-bernier-slams-poilievre-over-his-support-for-un-pro-abortion-paris-climate-agreement/

People's Party leader Maxime Bernier told LifeSiteNews that 'the Conservative Party has always been absolutely supportive of the Paris Accord and remains so to this day.'

People’s Party leader Maxime Bernier has called out Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for dodging a question regarding Canada’s participation in the United Nations’ pro-abortion Paris Climate Agreement – a globalist agenda Poilievre confirmed he would keep the nation involved in as recently as last year.

In an April 7 post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Bernier pointed out that Poilievre had previously admitted that he will not remove Canada from the UN’s Paris Climate Agreement, which in addition to advancing many moral evils including abortion and contraception, allows Canada to be taxed for its emissions and has been criticized as a way for globalists to undermine national sovereignty.   

“The Conservative Party has always been absolutely supportive of the Paris Accord and remains so to this day,” Bernier told LifeSiteNews.

In his post, Bernier explained that Poilievre “knows it’s pissing off a lot of Conservatives, so he prefers not to repeat it.” Continue…

Alberta backs Saskatchewan in court battle defending parental consent for ‘pronoun changes’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/alberta-backs-saskatchewan-in-court-battle-defending-parental-consent-for-pronoun-changes/

'Saskatchewan and Alberta agree that the key figures in children’s lives are their parents, and our provinces are both committed to supporting families and children so that they can work through unique needs together,' the provinces wrote in a joint letter in defense of parental rights.

Alberta has announced its support of Saskatchewan’s policy requiring parental consent for children to go by different pronouns at school amid a lawsuit against the policy by an LGBT activist group.

On April 9, Alberta Minister of Justice and Attorney General Mickey Amery and Saskatchewan Minister of Justice and Attorney General Bronwyn Eyre revealed that Alberta will intervene in Saskatchewan’s Parents’ Bill of Rights case challenging their new pro-family laws.

“Saskatchewan and Alberta agree that the key figures in children’s lives are their parents, and our provinces are both committed to supporting families and children so that they can work through unique needs together,” the joint statement read.

“Notifying parents and requiring their consent before a child’s name or pronouns can be changed in schools, and before classroom discussions about gender identity and other sensitive subjects occur, ensures that the parent-child relationship is respected and paramount,” it continued.

The pronoun policy is just one part of Saskatchewan’s new “Parental Inclusion and Consent Policies,” which also include provisions that ensure parents are allowed to opt their kids out of sex-ed, and that third-party presentations from groups such as Planned Parenthood will be prohibited from taking place.  

After the policies were put forth, LGBT activist group UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity at the University of Regina, represented by Egale Canada, filed a lawsuit to reverse the pro-family laws. 

While a judge has ruled in favor of the LGBT group, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced in response that he will invoke his government’s notwithstanding clause to protect the legislation from the courts.  

The notwithstanding clause, embedded in section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, allows provinces to temporarily override sections of the Charter to protect new laws from being scrapped while higher courts make a determination on the constitutionality of the law. 

The case is set to be heard in the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. During the case, Saskatchewan will now be supported by Alberta, which has committed to intervene in the appeal. Continue…

Edmonton’s Mayor Amarjeet Sohi is facing backlash after investing $480k to make Chinatown more “inclusive” despite the fact that residents just want the area to be safe.

Edmonton Mayor Sohi gets ripped after dolling out $480k towards making Chinatown “inclusive” amid crime wave

Sohi announced the investment for Chinatown’s “Vibrancy Fund” Tuesday on X saying he wants to create a more “welcoming and inclusive” community.

Applicants wishing to receive grant money for the project will be evaluated based on various criteria, one being their “equity lens.”

The evaluation checklist includes how “diverse” their business or organization is, and how their project applies a “Gender-Based Analysis” (GBA+.)

“(GBA+) is a method that helps us assess inequality and identify who is being left behind when doing a project,” the program guide explains. “It helps us understand who may be EXCLUDED from the project and it will help to identify unintentional consequences of inequality.”

Examples of projects include “community-led initiatives that enhance social cohesion and cultural preservation such as events, festivals, and cultural activities.”

Moreover, the application guidelines explicitly state that projects solely related with “safety and security” are not eligible for funding. Continue…

India did not interfere in Canada elections – media

Ottawa has been investigating possible New Delhi meddling in 2021 polls as part of probe into malign influence

India did not meddle in Canada’s general election in 2021, officials in Ottawa investigating ‘election interference’ claim, according to a report by News18. A panel constituted to investigate charges of election meddling concluded there was no evidence of New Delhi interfering in the national vote, which was won by Liberal Party candidate Justin Trudeau.

Former Deputy Foreign Minister Marta Morgan and former Cabinet Secretary Janice Charette, who were both part of the panel addressing the hearing of the Foreign Interference Commission, pointed out there was a lack of information on possible “disinformation campaigns” linked to India within the Canadian information ecosystem. The panelists also didn’t find evidence to support claims regarding the funding of political campaigns from Indian sources, News18’s report notes. Other media outlets reported on the development, citing Canadian bureaucrats.

“When we entered into the election campaign itself, we were being briefed on activities and the intelligence or information that was coming about how those capabilities or those tools were being deployed. And I do not believe during the 2021 election that we saw evidence of the Government of India using those tools in the campaign,” Janice Charette said, cited by News18. Continue…

Manitoba First Nation chief charged with possession and production of child pornography, sexually assaulting a child

https://thepostmillennial.com/manitoba-first-nation-chief-charged-with-possession-and-production-of-child-pornography-sexually-assaulting-a-child

Elders called on Traverse to resign, however he has refused to budge.

Police in Manitoba have arrested Lake St. Martin First Nation Chief Christopher Rodney Traverse following an investigation into allegations of sexual assault involving a child.

He was subsequently charged with sexual assault and sexual interference, as well as making and possessing child pornography.

In a statement, per APTN, the Winnipeg Police Service explained that the alleged offenses took place in late December 2023, and that the alleged victim is "an elementary-aged child." Traverse was taken into custody on February 1, but released soon after with the promise that he would appear in court. His next hearing is scheduled for July 3.

When members of the small community, 225km northwest of the provincial capital, heard the news, they called on Traverse to resign, however he has refused to budge.

Following a community meeting on March 22, a group of elders presented him with a letter urging him to step down within seven days "for the good of the community, for the good of the kids," or else they would "move forward in [his] removal from office" by signing a petition under the First Nations Election Act (FNEA).

As CBC News reports, while the deadline has passed, the council of Lake St. Martin First Nation has not provided an update as to whether or not the petition has been signed.

A petition is not the only way Traverse, who was elected in 2022, could lose his position. Under the FNEA, an official convicted of a crime and sentenced to more than 30 days in jail is automatically kicked out of their seat.

Traverse has maintained that he is innocent, however, his attempts to persuade others have not been well received, including by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs.

In an interview with APTN, he said that when he reached out to them, he was told he was "on his own."

"There’s nothing in place for men in this society that are wrongfully accused of anything," he said, "and the door was shut on me."

Petition to Stop Attack on Natural Health Products (Second Reading, April 11, 2024)

https://brightlightnews.com/petition-to-stop-attack-on-natural-health-products-second-reading-april-11-2024/

Stop the attack on natural health products (NHPs) in Canada by supporting this petition–going into Second Reading tomorrow on Thursday, April 11.

SIGN PETITION

In 2023, the federal govt put NHPs (e.g., vitamins, supplements, natural products used by naturopaths, homeopaths, TCM & Ayurvedic practioners, etc.) under the same regulatory testing requirements, licensing and fees as pharmaceutical drugs, in spite of a historically safe track record.

The majority of NHP manufacturers will not be able to survive these exorbitant costs–leading to a loss of natural health alternatives and of products for natural health practitioners–moving Canadians into an era where medical choice is more and more left to Big Pharma.

This petition specifically addresses Second Reading of Bill C-368. Previous petitions–though effective in bringing political and public attention to the attack on natural health products (NHPs)–have either already been responded to by govt and will therefore receive a standard “Thank you-for-contacting-us” reply, or other e-petitions, due to signatures collected before official approval, were not officially registered and found at https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/.

As the author of the petition, Dave Shostal (former Chief of Staff for former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier), notes, this petition is the only one approved for Second Reading that has not received a reply from govt. @dshostal wrote the petition to include third reading, if it passes.
