A disabled veteran in Canada has slammed her government for offering to euthanize her when she grew frustrated at delays in having a wheelchair lift installed in her home.

Retired Army Corporal Christine Gauthier, a former Paralympian, testified in Parliament on Thursday that a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) caseworker made the assisted suicide offer.

After years of frustrating delays in getting the home lift, Gauthier says the caseworker told her: 'Madam, if you are really so desperate, we can give you medical assistance in dying now.'

The worker who made the offer hasn't been named, but they are feared to have offered three other veterans who contacted VAC with problems the same 'solution', Global News reported.

Comment: The West is turning into death cult where mutilating gender-dysphoric children is considered progressive, and suicide and abortion are considered solutions to life's struggles.

The train went off the tracks near the port of Alexandroupolis in northeastern Greece. According to local media, it was heading to the Balkan and Baltic states as part of NATO's campaign to ramp up defenses against Russia.

France has been given the green light to ban short haul domestic flights.

The European Commission has approved the move which will abolish flights between cities that are linked by a train journey of less than 2.5 hours.

The decision was announced on Friday. The changes are part of the country's 2021 Climate Law.

France is also cracking down on the use of private jets for short journeys in a bid to make transport greener and fairer for the population.

Transport minister Clément Beaune said the country could no longer tolerate the super rich using private planes while the public are making cutbacks to deal with the energy crisis and climate change.


Comment: The Transport minister's comment would only be relevant if the new law specifically targets private planes, and the 'super rich'. As it is, this does not seem to be the case.

Ukraine charges priests for 'praising Russia'

Several Orthodox Christian clergy from the Kiev Pechersk Lavra have been charged with "glorifying Russia," the Ukrainian security service SBU said on Thursday. The announcement comes just days after a raid on the 11th-century monastery that the Moscow Patriarchate called an attempt to intimidate the faithful.

The SBU said it had received a tip that the priest and several "accomplices" had spoken words of praise about the "Russian world" during a church service. The service then established the "fact of illegal activity" through the subsequent "expert investigation," it said in a statement.

Kiev city prosecutors will charge the clergymen with "justification, recognition as legitimate, or denial of" Russian "aggression" against Ukraine or "glorification of its participants," the SBU added.

SBU head Vasily Malyuk said:
"Those who wait for the 'awakening of Mother Rus' during the full-scale war that Russia is waging against Ukraine need to understand that this harms the interests and the security of Ukraine and its citizens. We will not allow such expressions."

Philadelphia implemented a curfew for teens amid a rise in crime during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Now, City Council has approved a measure to make the nighttime restrictions for young people permanent.

The curfew requires those under 18 to be inside by 10 p.m.

Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson said there are exceptions for teens who are working after 10 p.m. and for those who do not have a permanent address.
"Those youth would not be penalized in any way because of them going to and from work. In addition to that, we met with the Juvenile Law Center and there would not be penalties for homeless youth."
New Councilmember Anthony Phillips, who comes from a non-profit that works with young people, supported the bill.
"At a time when there seems like there is no limit of the senseless whirlwind of violence facing teens and young people, we are taking a temporary step in the absence of a cure-all."

Massive lying about the war in Ukraine

Eric Zuesse

ukraine war
The chief purpose of the Western sanctions against Russia, after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, has been to stop Russia's sales of energy — mainly pipelined Russian gas — to Europe. Russia had been the top supplier of energy to Europe, because its energy was by far the cheapest in Europe. It was the least expensive to produce and sell to Europe, largely because it was pipelined into Europe whereas other suppliers needed to containerize and ship their gas and oil to Europe — which is far costlier to do. In all of Europe, virtually the only energy that is pipelined comes from Russia. Therefore, the sanctions that prohibited Russian energy to be supplied to Europe caused energy-prices in Europe to soar.

However, Western 'news'-media don't blame the sanctions for Europe's soaring energy-prices, because those sanctions come from the U.S. and have the cooperation and participation by European governments. Here are the main 'causes' of Europe's soaring energy-prices according to U.S.-and-allied 'news'-media (and you will see examples from Western Governments and 'news'-media there simply by clicking onto each one of these phrases, each one of which is linked):

"Russia's cutting off the gas to Europe"

"Russia strangling Europe"

"Russia's energy war"

"Putin's energy weapon"

So: each of those 'news'-media is routinely lying to their audience in order to place the blame for Europe's soaring fuel-prices upon the Government of Russia, instead of upon the Government of America and upon its various vassal-Governments in Europe that constitute together the EU.

Hunter Biden laptop bombshell: Twitter invented reason to censor Post's reporting

That is "f — ed."

Twitter "just freelanced" its baseless decision to censor The Post's bombshell Hunter Biden laptop scoop in the run up to the 2020 election — with top-level workers at the social media giant agreeing that controversial decision was "f-ked," damning insider communications released by CEO Elon Musk Friday reveal.

The chaos and confusion behind closed doors at Twitter in the immediate aftermath of the October 2020 Hunter Biden expose show that a small group of top-level execs decided to label the Post's story as "hacked material" without any evidence — behind the back of then-CEO and founder Jack Dorsey.

Musk tweeted a link to the account of independent journalist Matt Taibbi shortly after 6 p.m., who shed light on Twitter's shady censorship decision by posting what appeared to be redacted emails between Twitter employees.

The decision to censor The Post's story was made "at the highest levels of the company," according to Taibbi, but without Dorsey's involvement.

Cities across China further unwound Covid restrictions Friday, loosening testing and quarantine rules in the wake of nationwide protests calling for an end to lockdowns and greater political freedoms.

Anger and frustration with China's hardline pandemic response spilled out onto the streets last weekend in widespread demonstrations not seen in decades.

In the wake of the unrest across China, a number of cities have begun loosening Covid restrictions, such as moving away from daily mass testing requirements, a tedious mainstay of life under Beijing's stringent zero-Covid policy.

At the same time, authorities are continuing to seek to contain protests with heavy security on the streets, online censorship in full force, and surveillance of the population heightened.
