ANALYSIS | Was Mark Carney's Davos speech a mistake if it upset Trump? | CBC News It's not unreasonable to think about how any action by a Canadian government might impact relations with Canada's largest trading partner. At the same time, allowing the American president's potential...

Fuck off, CBC. Just fuck off.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

What a lie, emanating from Israel. Already debunked.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different.

Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.

“The smoke you see from the stacks is from the wood we allow the camp residents to burn to keep them warm. We’re not monsters!” <eyeroll, dramatic sigh>

Iran has a right to defend itself.

You would say that, wouldn't you?

Jordan Peterson reached out to me ages ago for a call about a story I was writing. I was dying to interview him because of that video’s dynamic. He delayed and delayed and then his daughter canceled for him and then he wrote a poison pen piece about me. He’s a lazy debater & can be turned. 1

Chicago Police Dismissed a Recruit’s Claims That a Colleague Sexually Assaulted Her. Then He was Accused Again and Again.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit.

We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

This is an improvement - Carney's going after Israel for shooting at Canadians. Trudeau did nothing while Israel killed Canadian citizens in Lebanon and Palestine. Hopefully the free trade agreement goes, we enforce the law on Canadians serving in the IDF and CRA cracks down on pro-Israel charities.

Since I posted this fairly early today and some of you might have missed it, I'll re-up it and, as your reward, I'll add another short thread about how serial litigant and SLAPP artist Ezra Levant flat-out misrepresented what I said about his 2016 fundraiser just so he could sue me for defamation.

Bluesky, you turned out to be just another minion of the state. Shame on you.

‘Utterly traumatised’: anger at ordeal of UK woman accused of illegal abortion Calls for law change after ‘cruel and unnecessary investigation’ into Nicola Packer that CPS brought to trial

After enduring years of police investigation and a public trial, a UK woman accused of an illegal abortion has been found not guilty. Jonathan Lord of MSI Reproductive Choices said: “This was a vindictive and brutal prosecution in which the CPS weaponised victim-shaming."

A grotesque miscarriage of justice.

Don't they have a sub judice rule in the US?

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act.
