Scarlett Gillespie, a man, former sex worker, and activist running for mayor of Hamilton, Ontario in 2025, was filmed speaking at an event while wearing a white sock puppet.
Canada is the asylum now.
Imam Husayn ibn Ali (Hussain) was the grandson of Prophet Muhammad and son of Ali. In 680 CE he refused to pledge allegiance to Umayyad caliph Yazid I, whom he saw as unjust and corrupt. With ~72 companions he was surrounded at Karbala and killed on 10 Muharram (Ashura) along with most of his group.
His stand is remembered as a principled refusal to submit to tyranny and a defense of truth and dignity.
On modern Western values: his resistance to illegitimate authority and willingness to sacrifice for moral principles echoes core Western ideals of opposing despotism and upholding justice. He operated in a 7th-century religious-political context, not Enlightenment liberalism, yet his legacy of integrity against power is widely admired across cultures, including by non-Muslim thinkers.
I love Albania for this.
This is how it began for the Palestinians— the Rothschilds and their agents buying up land. What came next was the Nakba and the erasure of their identity, followed by today’s Holocaust.
Fight Israeli settlers like the hell that you will endure if you don’t. This is the only way.

Israel bombs and kills a pregnant newly married woman and her unborn baby. @LilaGraceRose@conservmillen@sgruber91@KristanHawkins some of the biggest names in the “pro-life” movement are silent. I guess their Zionist donors won’t let them criticize the terrorist state of Israel when they murder babies and their mothers.
Tech companies on Bill C-22
• Shopify @Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke @tobi warned that Bill C-22 could become a “death blow to Canadian tech viability” and make Canada “essentially unviable for those with choices on where to build.”
• Signal's @signalapp VP of Strategy & Global Affairs Udbhav Tiwari stated, "In its current form, Bill C-22 would convert the everyday tools Canadians rely on into a sprawling, insecure surveillance apparatus."
• Apple @Apple Senior Director of User Privacy & Child Safety Erik Neuenschwander warned that Bill C-22 allows the Government of Canada to force companies to break encryption by inserting backdoors into their products - “something Apple will never do.”
• Google's @Google Director of Government Affairs and Public Policy Jeanette Patell warned that Bill C-22 “goes well beyond lawful access regimes in other G7 democracies, and risks creating new surveillance infrastructure that would introduce serious security vulnerabilities, undermine user trust and hinder our ability to innovate and offer pro-privacy technologies.”
• Meta @Meta warned that Bill C-22 could require companies to build or maintain capabilities that weaken encryption and that could force providers to "install government spyware directly on their systems."
• Proton VPN @ProtonVPN General Manager David Peterson warned that complying with Bill C-22 could conflict with Swiss and European privacy obligations. He said, “Complying with foreign surveillance orders without Swiss legal process is a criminal offence...We’ll defend our Canadian users and never compromise them.”
• NordVPN @NordVPN stated that “there isn’t a scenario in which we would compromise our no-logs architecture or encryption protections" and that it would consider limiting or removing its Canadian presence.
• ExpressVPN @expressvpn warned, “Legislation that mandates data retention or technical access, however well-intentioned, undermines the security that millions of users rely on."
• DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo stated that "if the bill passes, we will be forced to stop offering our VPN in Canada."
• Windscribe @windscribecom stated, “...they want to destroy the entire essence of our service to basically spy on its own citizens."
Privacy protects citizens. It also protects innovation.
Note: These statements were made before Bill C-22 was amended on June 18, 2026. In our view, those amendments did not meaningfully address concerns raised by tech companies, privacy experts, or civil liberties organizations. The companies above are free to tell Canadians whether the amendments have changed their assessment.
If Israel doesn’t abide by the US-Iran deal then we should cut all foreign aid, put tariffs on their economy and suspend military cooperation with them immediately.
Israel got us into this war and now we need to put them in their place to get out.
