Toronto police sparked outrage after advising residents to leave their car keys at the front door and let thieves to take their vehicles. This shocking message comes as car thefts have soared by 150 percent over six years in Canada's largest city, forcing residents to hide their cars in secret locations and fortify them with round-the-clock security. [SNIP] Constable Marco Ricciardi addressed the issue and offered his controversial tip. 'To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door, because thieves are breaking into homes solely to steal cars. They don't want anything else,' said Ricciardi.

Once they know there will be no resistance, you think they will still only just want the cars? Cops are there just to fill out the forms and to make sure you don't say anything derogatory about the perps or the cops.

This might sound offensive but I don't care. Do they suggest women pull down their panties and hike up their skirts and sit on the steps waiting to be raped? This is one of the most pathetic suggestions I have ever heard from the government. What the hell is wrong with them? I suggest the government offer free guns, ammo, lessons and a new law that says it is okay to shot anyone who attempts to break a law on your person or property. This is disgusting.

Nobody is going to leave their car keys outside their homes where potential car thieves can use those keys to steal their vehicles. The question is what do the automobile insurance companies think of that crazy police advice? What Canada needs are new elections across the country to get rid of the current Government of Canada.

Muslim Death Threats to Teachers in Paris 5 replies
Posted by OhioNick 3/17/2024 11:07:23 PM Post Reply
In Paris, 163 heads of schools have made a public protest about the threats to their safety made by “aggressive” Muslim parents. The heads of school, and their teachers, are terrified. They remember the decapitation of Samuel Paty, who had dared to show his pupils — though telling Muslim students they need not remain in the classroom while it was being shown — a single cartoon of Muhammad, as part of a discussion on free speech. Paty’s executioner was not even a parent, but just a Muslim who had heard about his supposed “blasphemy.”

Leprosy is caused by two different but similar bacteria — Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis — the latter having just been identified in 2008. Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is avoidable. Transmission among the most vulnerable in society, including migrant and impoverished populations, remains a pressing issue. This age-old neglected tropical disease, which is still present in more than 120 countries, is now a growing challenge in parts of North America. Leprosy is beginning to occur regularly within parts of the southeastern United States. Most recently, Florida has seen a heightened incidence of leprosy, accounting for many of the newly diagnosed cases in the U.S.

The rules for the law were announced Monday. It establishes a religious test for migrants from every major South Asian faith other than Islam. Critics argue that the law is further evidence that Modi’s government is trying to reshape the country into a Hindu state and marginalize Muslims.

The White House on Friday demanded Speaker Mike Johnson end his impeachment crusade against President Joe Biden, saying 'enough is enough.' 'The investigation has continually turned up evidence that, in fact, the President did nothing wrong,' White House counsel Edward Siskel wrote in a letter to Johnson. 'It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker. This impeachment is over.' The aggressive new tone from the White House comes as Republicans have essentially come to a standstill in their effort to impeach Biden. Johnson, who has a thin majority in the House, doesn't have the votes to impeach the president.

Yemen's Houthis have vowed to expand their attacks on international shipping and have claimed to have new hypersonic missiles that could dodge the West's defence systems. The Houthis having hypersonic missiles, if true, could raise the stakes in the ongoing attacks by the terrorist group on shipping in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways in protest of Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza. The new weapons - which could potentially evade the West's defence system due to their speed and maneuverability - were reported by Russian state media, which cited an unnamed official, but provided no evidence for the Houthi claim.

However, the city is scrambling as the number continues to climb and the migrants look to build a new life in America, which includes housing and work. But for companies like Tyson Foods Inc., struggling to fill unpopular jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9%, this new population presents an alluring opportunity.

Detractors aren’t surprised that the sculpture has been changed, but that the latest replacement doesn’t appear to represent native Londoners.Lady in Blue is a sculpture of a black woman with abstract proportions, including strangely long arms and very pronounced buttocks and legs.

There's new reporting about Joe Biden, and it's not looking good from inside the campaign. According to the report from NBC, Biden is "angry and anxious about his reelection effort." Nearly 20 lawmakers, present and past administration officials, and Biden allies, dished on his anger about Trump leading him in the polls. When he found out that his numbers were dropping, he was "seething." That's why he's now throwing Israel and Netanyahu under the bus, and doing all he can to try to appeal to the left to get them back into the fold. The polls have left him frustrated and questioning the travel and communication strategies.
