WE really need to get rid of this guy

Might be a nice first step for Trudeau to come clean about the receding hair line. Or maybe it is people in power in general.
Hard to say he is not trying to hide it and has been for years. Read Sophie's book.

Liberal MP Pam Damoff says she will not run again in the next federal election, saying disrespectful dialogue in politics, threats to her life and misogyny are what have contributed to her decision.

OTTAWA — Liberal MP Pam Damoff says she won’t run again in the next federal election, saying she has experienced misogyny, disrespectful dialogue in politics and threats to her life.
Damoff says she’s proud of her time in politics but it is no longer for her, and it’s time to turn the page to a new chapter.
She has represented Oakville North-Burlington, a riding west of Toronto, since 2015.
Damoff announced her planned exit with a letter posted on her Facebook page.
She says the current tone of politics is being driven by a desire for social-media clips and likes — a drastic change in how politicians interact with each other and the public.
She adds the tenor of political discourse has deteriorated significantly, and she fears that misinformation and “lies” spread by politicians are causing a loss of trust in institutions.
“Unfortunately, the toxic drive for social-media likes and clips among elected officials has hindered constructive conversations, exacerbated difference between us and diminished our capacity to show empathy towards each other,” Damoff said in the statement.
“The threats and misogyny I have experienced as a member of Parliament are such that I often fear going out in public, and that is not a sustainable or healthy way to live.”

Conservatives call on Commons Speaker to resign, say he let Trudeau cross the line

Conservative MPs are calling on Commons Speaker Greg Fergus to resign after ejecting their leader during a heated debate, where they say equal rules were not applied to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Conservative MPs are calling on Commons Speaker Greg Fergus to resign after ejecting their leader during a heated debate, where they say equal rules were not applied to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
OTTAWA — Conservative MPs want House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus to resign after ejecting their leader — and not Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — during a heated debate Tuesday.
The Tories say Fergus did not apply the rules equally during a tense back and forth between Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Poilievre was kicked out of the chamber after he called Trudeau a “wacko prime minister” and refused Fergus’s request to withdraw the remark. His entire caucus eventually left as well in protest.
The insult was hurled as Poilievre pressed Trudeau to agree to British Columbia’s request to amend a Health Canada provision decriminalizing public possession of hard drugs like heroin and fentanyl.
Trudeau instead shot back that Poilievre did not deserve elected office, accusing him of courting far-right extremists.
Last week videos emerged of Poilievre visiting a carbon price protest camp in Atlantic Canada where one of the trailers featured a drawing of a symbol belonging to the far-right online group Diagolon.
Conservative MP John Brassard said Wednesday that Trudeau used “undignified” language Tuesday by inferring that Tories are connected to white nationalists.
“The Conservative party has never been represented by a more diverse group in this country like we’ve seen now, and to imply and infer that somehow we are white nationalists or racists, I think is undignified,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
Michael Barrett, the party’s ethics critic in Parliament, said equal rules must be applied in the House when the prime minister is delivering what Barrett calls “personal insults” instead of defending his drug policy.
A spokesman for Fergus said Wednesday that the Speaker didn’t just single out Poilievre, noting he also asked Trudeau to reframe one of his questions after he called Poilievre a “spineless leader.”
“The prime minister reframed his answer,’ Mathieu Gravel said.
“The Speaker offered Mr. Poilievre four opportunities to withdraw his comment and reframe his question. Mr. Poilievre did not avail himself of those opportunities.”
Poilievre instead told Fergus he would replace the word “wacko” with “extremist” and “radical,” which the Speaker rejected, asking him to withdraw use of the term altogether.
When he did not, Fergus ordered him to leave.
The Conservative leader cried censorship and said Fergus was trying to protect the prime minister.
Gravel said Fergus “has no intention of resigning.”
Most of Wednesday’s question period was far less raucous, with the Conservatives set in a sedate tone. The back-and-forth between opposition and government MPs, which saw both Trudeau and Poilievre participate, unfolded without need for the Speaker to step in.
Poilievre avoided bringing up the previous day’s events.
Rather he spoke in a slow, measured manner throughout, and didn’t react when Trudeau referenced the “new, more reasonable tone of the leader of the Opposition” and again accused Poilievre of refusing to “condemn violent extremism.”
But close to an hour into question period, when Trudeau did it again, some Conservative MPs began shouting “black face” at him. That is a reference to images of Trudeau that emerged in 2021 showing him wearing black, or brown face on more than one occasion prior to getting into politics.
House of Commons rules state if the Speaker determines “offensive or disorderly language” was used, the MP will be asked to withdraw the unparliamentary remarks, and “must rise in his or her place to retract the words unequivocally.”
The rules don’t define unparliamentary language, instead allowing the Speaker to make the decision based on a number of factors, including tone, intention and most importantly whether the remarks caused any disorder in the chamber. That means the same language can be deemed unparliamentary one day but not the next.
Liberals came to Fergus’s defence on Tuesday and continued to slam Poilievre’s actions and that of his caucus.
“When we saw the Conservatives storm out in protest, I thought it was immature,” said Housing Minister Sean Fraser.
“Nobody sent me to Ottawa to storm out of the House of Commons. Some of the comments that I heard coming from Opposition MPs was cheerleading that it was happening, saying ’are you trying to help us with our fundraising. We’re going to raise an extra million dollars off this.”’
The Conservative party sent out a fundraising blast within an hour of the incident.
Similarly, the Liberal party’s social media lit up with footage of cabinet ministers and Trudeau himself calling out Poilievre, accusing him of courting far-right extremists.
Government House leader Steven MacKinnon said on Wednesday that the Speaker was elected by MPs and respects all of his rulings.
On Tuesday, he also compared Poilievre’s behaviour to that of former U.S. President Donald Trump, which is a frequent attack the Liberals mount against the Canadian Conservative, accusing the party of importing American-style politics into the country.
“They come into our democratic institutions, they break all the rules and when they are called on breaking all the rules they leave and say they’ve been gagged,” MacKinnon said.

Kim Jong Un recruits 25 new virgins every year for ‘pleasure squad’

Kim Jong Un takes time out of his busy schedule to select 25 virgin girls a year to personally entertain him in what a North Korean defector called his “pleasure squad.”
Yeonmi Park, 30, told the Daily Star that officials would “visit every classroom” and “even go to schoolyards in case they missed someone pretty.”
It wasn’t all about attractiveness, however; Park added that the girls’ political loyalty also played a factor on whether they chosen.
Park claimed she was scouted twice for the so-called honour but wasn’t picked in the end because of her “family status.”
She explained “they eliminate any girls with family members that have escaped from North Korea, or have relatives in South Korea or other countries.”
If given the green light, the next step for the young women is a medical examination to ensure they are, in fact, virgins.
Candidates who move on are then subjected to more invasive tests where even the tiniest defect, like a small scar anywhere on the body, will get them disqualified.
Once only a “handful of girls” are left, they are sent to Pyongyang to see if they make the final cut.
If selected, their “only reason to exist is to please the dictator,” Park said.
She said for many, life in North Korea is so grim that parents welcome their daughters being recruited in the hope they might enjoy a better quality of life.
Park, who fled North Korea for China in 2007 at the age of 13, has amassed more than 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube with her tales of life inside the dictatorship.
She moved to the United States in 2014 and became an American citizen eight years later, even writing a book about her search for freedom in the U.S. after defecting.
Park also mentioned that Jong Un has very specific taste, and opts for women who are “slender,” “taller” and more “western-looking.”
Within the pleasure squad, there are three different divisions, she added.
The first group are trained to massage, the second bunch specialize in entertainment such as singing and dancing, while the third bevy of women make up the “sexual activities division,” and have to not only be intimate with the tubby tyrant but his inner circle as well.
The most beautiful girls are reserved to attend to the dictator essentially as sex slaves, while the less attractive members must cater to the needs of low-ranking generals and politicians.
“They have to learn how to please these men,” Park said. “That’s their only goal.”
