2020: CAS whistleblower acquitted. After a four-month investigation, Kelley Denham was charged with hacking and identifying children involved in court proceedings, when in fact she did neither, and earlier this week Ontario Court Justice Charles D. Anderson acquitted her of all charges and cleared her name after trial. The judge noted that the CAS did not take appropriate measures to secure private information. The judge also noted there were no special computer skills or deception required to access the files, which were not marked as confidential and came with no warnings or disclaimers. The information was publicly available, the judge ruled. He said there was no hacking and Denham didn’t break any Children’s Aid Society (CAS) laws about identifying children involved in court proceedings. 2016: Det.-Const.

THE GREATEST SIDESHOW CONS AND GAFFS EVER IMAGINED... MUMMIES FROM OUTER SPACE?

Alien corpses unveiled in front of the Mexican government! In truth, from the Golden Age of marvels onward, the honest acts and wonders of a circus, a carnival, a midway or a Ten-in-One were and are usually more astonishing than any birdseed and glue creation dreamed up by a down-on-her-luck manger or a dime museum owner looking to add just one more spectacular adjective to the long line before his name. Despite the exceptional talent, physical attributes or showmanship of performers billed as “freaks,” however, many outfits, from P.T. Barnum’s American Museum to today’s ragtag traveling carnival setup in the back parking lot of an empty strip mall, have resorted to the often expected tricks of the trade—the sideshow gaff and the bally fake. The con in plain sight. GAFF TAXIDERMY Have you ever been fooled by the legend of the jackalope, Fiji mermaid, or furry trout? How couldn’t you? Tchotchke shops and restaurants are full of undeniable proof that these made-up creatures exi

First-Person Firepower: Ukrainian Drone Unit Hunts Down Russian Armor. https://youtu.be/BTgASmudYJw Ukraine destroyed Russia's $4 million T-90M tank with $500 suicide drones near Bakhmut. https://youtu.be/aRAbVZUz1vk Ukraine's Cheap DIY Drones Taken Out Million-Dollar Worth Tank, BUT how? Recent developments on Russia-Ukraine war have highlighted the evolving nature of warfare in the modern era. Ukraine, facing the constant threat of Russian aggression, has found an ingenious and cost-effective solution to counter the formidable armored might of its neighbor: cheap DIY drones. These small, seemingly inconspicuous flying devices are proving to be a David against the Goliath of advanced Russian tanks worth millions. Footage showed how T-90M tanks were targeted and taken out using low-cost, DIY drones. As we witness million-dollar tanks surrender to relatively affordable DIY drones, one can't help but questions: are these million-dollar tanks truly as powerful as t

Child protection social worker's warrantless entry into home unlawful: Ontario Court of Appeal.. The Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that a child protection social worker’s warrantless entry into a home was unlawful because there was no proof of a subjective belief that there would be a substantial risk to the child. In Land v. Dryden Police Services Board, 2023 ONCA 207, The Dryden police officers responded to information that Stephanie Henry appeared to be under the influence of alcohol when she picked up her seven-year-old daughter from school. When the police officers went to Henry's home to check on the child, Henry and her partner, Jonathan Land, refused to allow the officers to enter. The officers then contacted the local children's aid society, Anishinaabe Abinoojii Family Services. Society worker Danielle Gardner arrived at the scene. She requested the police officers to enter the home with her because she "had concerns for her safety and the safety o

Amid the cacophony of conspiracies, claims, and controversies emanating from Canada’s Freedom Convoy in February, one issue was decidedly muted: energy. While energy issues had been the driving force behind previous right-wing protests in Canada, it was barely visible during the weeks-long occupation of the nation’s capital. Indeed, if it wasn’t for the infamous court artist rendering of Convoy organizer Tamara Lich in her Canada Action-branded “I love Oil and Gas” sweater, the vast majority of Canadians would be unaware of the extensive links between the Freedom Convoy and what has been described as “petro-populism.” If on the surface the links between energy and the anti-lockdown politics of the Freedom Convoy seemed scant, below the surface they were extensive. The organization, tactics, networks, and funding for the Convoy didn’t spring from nowhere. In fact, they were nurtured and cultivated through past protests and campaigns centred on energy issues. In the wake of the Convo

Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting 'Liberal' Teachings of Jesus.

The Bible tells us to beware of false prophets who would lead us astray from God's will and plan for our lives. Scripture says to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1) In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. To best recognize false prophets, we should diligently study the Bible and guard our hearts and mind against following anyone other than the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Let us focus our faith and attention on the true messiah and obey His teachings for the blessing of eternal life! “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. Watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them for such people are not serv

The Case Against Powell and Chesebro Isn't About Whether Or They Know Each Other Or Colluded Together: It's About Whether Or Not They Colluded With Donald Trump To Overturn The Election. WATCH: Sidney Powell's lawyer tells court she 'had nothing to do with most' of Georgia election case An attorney for Sidney Powell on Wednesday asked a Georgia court to sever her case from her co-defendants, saying that her inclusion with them in a trial would "prejudice" her own case. Powell was charged as one of 18 co-defendants alongside former President Donald Trump under the state's RICO Act, which is typically used to prosecute organized crime. The grand jury indictment brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis included two counts of conspiracy to commit election fraud for Powell, in addition to other charges. Both Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney who was influential in the alleged scheme to disrupt the certification of electoral vote

Drowning is of particular concern for children with Autism.

Why Learning To Swim Is Vital For Children With Autism For many parents that have a child with autism, going swimming isn’t at the top of their priority list. That being said, it’s often the places we might not immediately expect that could still pose a danger to children with ASD who cannot swim. Research from Joseph Guan and Guohua Li indicates that “children with ASD are at a substantially heightened risk of unintentional injury, particularly drowning.” In another article by Guan and Li, the two found that “fatal drowning in children with ASD typically occurs in water bodies near the victims’ homes precipitated by wandering.” It’s important to note that according to the CDC, the prevalence of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has recently grown to 1 in 36. With more children with autism being diagnosed, it is even more important for parents everywhere to understand the importance of teaching a child with autism how to swim if they are able. https://www.a
