Parents took their son on a 3-day holiday. They got a fine and then things got even more shocking.
A school representative showed up right at their front door to enforce a £160 fine and announce that their 8-year-old son, Oliver, is being *suspended* from school.
It doesn't make any sense. As the parents rightfully point out, the school is punishing a child for missing school hours... by forcing him to miss *even more* school hours. The dad argues that Oliver has an excellent 98% attendance record, but the school refuses to back down.
The madness doesn't stop there. When the parents call out the flawed logic and label the fine a "money-making scam," the school representative completely loses patience. Blaming the parents' "attitude," she drops the ultimate bomb:
Oliver isn't just suspended anymore he is now permanently exclude from the school.
A 3-day family trip just escalated into a little boy being completely expelled.
Maturing is realising that absolutely nothing of substance is happening here.
A false pressure valve is being released, to reset public anger so as to buy additional years of time to implement an agenda that was decided long ago, elsewhere. The frontman is utterly expendable.
This is a great example of how Canadians are misinformed about food prices (see link).
The media turns to a Liberal economist who no longer conducts research in the sector, has no access to grocery pricing data, and offers little more than speculation (and is always wrong). In this case, higher tomato prices are conveniently blamed on Trump-related trade issues, despite little evidence to support that claim.
When commentary replaces data and assumptions replace analysis, Canadians are left with a distorted understanding of what's really driving food prices. https://t.co/HIwljtt9Jz
A Montreal court case is revealing how Tim Hortons really operates, and some of what's inside is worth knowing.

Canada is back at the top of the G7 food inflation rankings.
Food prices rose 3.8% in May, outpacing every other G7 country. While inflation has eased in much of the G7, Canadian households continue to face persistent pressure at the grocery store.
At what point will media outlets start interviewing experts who actually understand what's happening in food markets, instead of repeatedly assuring Canadians that food price increases are "temporary"?
The disconnect between official narratives and what Canadians experience at checkout remains hard to ignore.

Police go directly for the circuit breaker panel to avoid being filmed
This post will be in English, because there apparently is a lot of interest in what happened to me yesterday.
I'm a libertarian danish privacy activist and former police officer and I have been doing activism for about 15 years.
I have had a bit of time to think about my arrest and the actions of the masked police that broke down my door - with no prior warning.
The prefece to the story is, that I in a kind of roundabout and (I think) humorous way published "my two favorite numbers" by spelling out a 10 diget and a 8 diget number with letters. I didn't tell what they ment, but they where prime minister Mette Frederiksen's social security and phone number.
I also published a screenshot of me trying to interview Mette Frederiksen on what app, asking her about her wanting to ban encryption (CSA) and introducing mass surveillance via granting the police intelligence services access to all sorts of information (medical journals, social media posts, DNA registers ment for research and so on).
That resulted in me being arrested by armed and masked police breaking down my door without me having any chance of opening it for them.
When the two civilian dressed masked men entered the apparentment one of them immediately went for the circuit breaker panel to shut off the power to my router. They then removed my Google Nest cameras - because they knew that the cameras contains local storage.
That way they could avoid having video of the (in my view) illegal arrest. Only the few moments before the power is cut was filmed. There is video of me asking them for the charges - and them refusing to tell me (which is illegal). But I can't access it, because they took the cameras.
I'm not even sure if that is legal. In Denmark it is (nominally) totally legal to film the police. That way it is possible to know what happened and it's not just your word against there's.
Denmark and the West are moving in the wrong direction, and it makes me sad.

Fun fact: Many condo developers in Canada are backed by foreign banks, developers, and equity groups. Your government wants to bail out foreign Institutional Investors with your taxes.
Carney Government Loses It's Mind & Just Saves Condo Developers In BC: Unfuckinglievable
Unlike Carney's deal with Ontario which was a HST Sales Tax reduction scheme in BC they just went whole hog & BOUGHT New Construction Condos the Developers can't sell
Which is NUTS

When families can't afford a home, the NDP says "too bad."
When developers can't sell a condo, the NDP says "here's $3.2 billion."
That tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.
So if you are a family that can’t afford your mortgage because of a job loss, you are forced to sell at the current market price
But if you are a developer that built product that no one wanted, you get a taxpayer funded bailout
The stupidity is amazing 🤦♂️
Imagine going to foreign country and making it your mission to be a public nuisance… then calling it “content.”
I’ve never felt the urge to punch somebody this badly 🤦🏽♂️
