Chaos engulfs Hamilton block after Violent Squatters move in next door
It used to be a nice, quiet Hamilton street. Then a house was overtaken by drug addicts and prostitutes – and the authorities don’t seem to care…
Summary
Nada Arsenault, a longtime Hamilton, Ontario resident, says her once-quiet neighbourhood has been severely disrupted since a nearby house became home to a large group of squatters around September 2025.
According to Nada, as many as 20 people occupy the property, including people living inside the house, under backyard tarps, and in a camper van. She describes frequent fights, suspected drug activity and sex work, constant vehicle traffic, loud nighttime disturbances, accumulated garbage, foul odours, rats, and other sanitation problems.
Nada says the homeowner has allowed the situation to continue and may himself struggle with substance abuse. Although Hamilton Police and city bylaw officers have repeatedly attended the property, she says little appears to have changed after nearly a year.
Hamilton Police rejected the suggestion that they are “ignoring” the situation, explaining that investigations can take considerable time because officers must gather evidence, witness statements, CCTV footage, and other information. Police also said bylaw matters fall under the City of Hamilton.
The author says the City of Hamilton did not respond to their inquiry. The piece ultimately questions why the situation has remained unresolved for so long and expresses frustration with both the occupants and the authorities responsible for addressing the problem.

LEAKED: CBC instructs reporters not to call 9/11 a ‘terrorist attack’
Internal guidance for the attack’s 25th anniversary tells journalists to attribute the term “terrorism” rather than use it independently.
CBC journalists have been instructed not to describe the Sept. 11 attacks as “terrorist attacks” as the public broadcaster prepares to cover the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
An internal memo circulated to CBC News reporters and editors reiterated the Crown corporation’s longstanding policy restricting its own use of the terms “terrorist” and “terrorism.”
“Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks,” the memo states.
Instead, CBC staff were instructed to describe how the “hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan” and that the World Trade Center was destroyed, as first reported by the Toronto Sun.
Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airliners on 9/11, striking the World Trade Center and Pentagon, while a fourth crashed in Pennsylvania.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed, including 24 Canadians.
Summary
The article says that CBC News has reminded journalists not to describe the September 11, 2001 attacks as “terrorist attacks.” Instead, CBC prefers terms such as “the Sept. 11 attacks” or factual descriptions of what happened.
The memo was reportedly sent ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by Basem Boshra, CBC’s senior director of journalistic standards and public trust.
CBC says this reflects a longstanding policy of using “terrorist” or “terrorism” primarily with attribution, rather than making the designation itself.
CBC News editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon has argued that the terms can carry political and emotional connotations and may create concerns about consistency and impartiality.
CBC says the same approach has been applied to other major attacks, including the 2005 London bombings, 2004 Madrid train bombings, and 2011 Moscow airport bombing.
Conservative MP Rachel Thomas strongly criticized the policy, arguing that avoiding the word “terrorism” minimizes the scale and nature of 9/11 and disrespects victims, survivors, families, and first responders.
The article also notes that CBC is Canada’s public broadcaster and received more than C$1.5 billion in taxpayer funding in 2025–26.
In short: CBC defends its terminology as a journalistic-neutrality policy, while critics argue that refusing to call 9/11 a terrorist attack unnecessarily sanitizes or downplays what occurred.

Al Green files fourth impeachment resolution against Trump, leaving Democrats scrambling to distance themselves
Summary
Outgoing Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas has introduced another resolution to impeach President Donald Trump, H.Res. 1486, this time focusing on the administration's immigration-enforcement policies. Green, who lost his Democratic primary and is leaving Congress in January, acknowledges that the Republican-controlled Congress is extremely unlikely to approve it.
The resolution accuses Trump of abusing presidential authority by directing ICE and
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to operate as what Green calls “quota-driven” and “unaccountable paramilitary police forces.” It also alleges that four people were unjustifiably killed by immigration officers. The article notes, however, that the circumstances surrounding those cases are not established within the resolution or independently verified in the reporting it cites.
The White House and Department of Homeland Security strongly reject Green's allegations. DHS says there are no arrest quotas and maintains that officers are trained to use the minimum force necessary. The administration also cites large increases in assaults, vehicle attacks, and death threats against immigration officers. The article points out that some of these administration statistics are presented without enough information about their timeframes, baselines, or methodology.
A major theme of the article is Green's history of unsuccessful impeachment efforts against Trump. Previous Green-sponsored efforts have been rejected not only by Republicans but by substantial numbers of Democrats. Green nevertheless argues that unsuccessful impeachment resolutions can still serve a purpose by formally recording congressional opposition to presidential conduct.
The article ultimately portrays the new resolution as symbolic rather than a realistic attempt to remove Trump from office. Because Republicans control Congress and Green has already lost his seat, the author characterizes the resolution as a final political protest by a departing congressman rather than an impeachment effort with a plausible path to passage.
Bottom line: Green is again seeking Trump's impeachment, this time over ICE and CBP enforcement practices, but the resolution has virtually no prospect of succeeding. The article is strongly critical of Green while also acknowledging that some factual claims made by both Green and the Trump administration remain insufficiently substantiated in the cited reporting.

GLOBAL:
Senate Democrats voted to expand Trump's tariff power
— then attacked him for using it
By
Alex Tanzer,
Summary
The article argues that Senate Democrats contradicted their own criticism of President Trump’s tariff policies by largely voting for a Russia sanctions bill that expanded presidential authority to impose tariffs.
Key points:
Most Senate Democrats voted for the sanctions package, which included authority for tariffs as high as 500% on Russian imports and up to 100% on certain countries buying Russian energy.
Nine Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul voted against it. Sen. Ron Wyden and Paul specifically tried—and failed—to remove the tariff provisions.
Shortly afterward, Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Democrats to criticize him. The article argues that, although the Canada tariffs were legally based on separate authority, the timing exposed an apparent political contradiction.
Ron Wyden warned Democrats that giving Trump additional tariff authority would raise prices and be regrettable.
Richard Blumenthal defended the bill, arguing that the tariff authority was narrowly written and that courts could restrain Trump if he exceeded it.
Raphael Warnock said he sought assurances from U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer that the authority would remain limited.
Elizabeth Warren opposed the bill, arguing that Trump had already demonstrated how he would use broad tariff powers.
The author portrays the Democratic caucus as internally divided and lacking a consistent trade strategy, while Republicans can use the vote as political ammunition ahead of the 2026 elections.
Bottom line
The article's central thesis is that Democrats faced a choice between supporting tougher sanctions on Russia and opposing additional presidential tariff power. Most chose sanctions, accepting the tariff provisions—but the author argues that their subsequent attacks on Trump’s tariffs made their position look inconsistent.
One important nuance: the article is an opinion/argumentative piece, not a neutral account. Its conclusion that Democrats' positions are inherently contradictory is the author's interpretation; the Russia-related tariff authority and Trump's Canada tariffs are legally distinct authorities, even though both involve tariffs.

The Screens Experiment Has Failed Our Kids — It's Time to Bring Back the Textbook
By coincidence, the National Post delivered this article today. It made me wonder what's the future of Bible Study groups.
Now read CPAL's newsletter below.
Concerned Parents Association of London and Area (CPAL)An independent parent-led publication focused on transparency, accountability, and evidence-based education, advocating for age-appropriate learning environments and the rightful role of parents in public education — in London and area, and across Ontario.
You’re receiving this because you subscribed to CPAL or were invited to stay informed about developments affecting schools, students, and provincial education policy.
Paul W. Bennett from The Aristotle Foundation’s new report confirms what parents have been seeing at the dinner table for years. We’ve traded coherent learning for distracted scrolling, and now even Sweden is reversing course.
Why This Matters Right Now
For 15 years, school boards across Canada have poured billions into laptops, tablets, and “digital-first” classrooms. The promise? Better engagement, better outcomes.
The reality, according to the research Bennett compiles, is the opposite. Here are the key points every parent in London and area should know:
The Key Findings
1. The billions bought us nothing — or worse
· 99% of U.S. teachers report their schools provide devices to students.
· Students average 98 minutes a day on screens in class alone.
· Despite this saturation, there is little evidence digital tools improved achievement — and mounting evidence of a negative relationship.
2. Kids are “gaming and scrolling” their way through class
· Studies suggest students working online spend up to 39 minutes of every hour off-task.
· Teachers struggle to keep order while students flip between tabs, some educational, many not.
3. Paper beats screens for actual learning
· An experimental study of nearly 6,000 students in Germany, Ireland, and Sweden had half take the PISA test on paper, half on computer.
· Students underperformed on the computer versions, in the UK, the gap equated to half a year of additional learning for paper-based test-takers.
4. The highest-performing countries never left textbooks
· Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan still provide standardized textbooks, and consistently top PISA and TIMSS rankings.
· Meanwhile, we’ve handed our kids fragmented links and handouts instead of a coherent, sequenced body of knowledge.
5. Sweden is already reversing course
· Once a global leader in digital-first education, Sweden concluded excessive screen use contributed to declining literacy.
· Since 2023, they’ve reintroduced printed books, and students themselves welcomed them back.
6. Kids know it too
· In Naomi Baron’s research, 4 out of 5 students prefer print for longer texts, and 94% say they concentrate better reading in print.
· A good textbook beats a pile of handouts, links, and websites every time.
What Textbooks Actually Do
Screens fragment. Textbooks integrate. Bennett’s point is simple and powerful: a well-organized textbook “knows when to be silent.” It:
· Organizes knowledge into a logical sequence
· Allows sustained concentration free of notifications
· Supports note-taking and reflection
· Doesn’t cause eye strain, sleep disruption, or addiction
· Engages parents in the learning process
The digital world delivers disconnected facts. A textbook delivers a package of information, properly integrated, with space to think.
The Sunk-Cost Trap
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: school boards are locked into digital systems because they’ve already spent so much. It’s a classic sunk-cost dilemma, and our kids are paying the price, measured not in dollars but in diminished attention, comprehension, and performance.
Bennett calls it plainly: “Screens and overdependence on edtech are causing harm to the current generation of students.”
Our Call to Action: Parents, Keep Pushing
This isn’t a niche concern. It’s the daily reality in our own classrooms. And it’s exactly why CPAL exists.
Here’s what we’re asking every parent in London and area to do:
1. Read and share Bennett’s report with other parents — awareness is the first step.
2. Email your school board trustee. Ask one direct question: “What is our board’s plan to restore printed textbooks and reduce classroom screentime?”
3. Contact the Minister of Education. Let them know parents are watching. The evidence is in, Sweden is acting, and we expect the same urgency here.
4. Talk to your child’s teacher. Many teachers want this change and your support gives them cover to speak up.
The Minister of Education needs to hear from us — consistently, politely, and in numbers. One email is ignored. A thousand emails from concerned parents is a movement.
The Bottom Line
We were sold a bill of goods: screens as progress, paper as obsolete. The data says otherwise. The top-performing nations never abandoned the textbook, and now a once-digital-first country like Sweden is walking it back.
The question isn’t whether textbooks should return. It’s why we’re still waiting.

Utilities can now find out what's underground
So in 2020, Mackanic founded a startup called CivilGrid designed to solve this problem. The company gathers disparate data regarding utility assets, property ownership, and environmental regulations and bundles it into what Mackanic cheekily refers to as “Google Maps for what’s underground.” It then sells access to governments, civil engineering firms, and utilities — including his former employer.

The French thorn in the side of our trade talkers
Now I get it. AI explained it to me.
The French-language dispute in U.S.–Canada trade discussions centers on American objections to Canadian and Quebec laws that mandate French-language labeling, product requirements, and digital streaming content rules, which the U.S. has classified as non-tariff trade barriers. [1, 2, 3]
The Core Issues
Product Labeling and Packaging: Quebec laws (such as Bill 96) require extensive use of French on commercial products, packaging, warranties, manuals, and certain trademarks. U.S. manufacturers argue this creates extra redesign and compliance costs. [1, 2]
Digital "Discoverability" and Streaming: Regulations (such as Quebec's Bill 109) require digital media and streaming platforms to feature and prioritize French-language content. The U.S. has criticized these mandates as financial burdens or discriminatory quotas on American tech companies. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Political Friction and Recent Developments
Collapse of Talks: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away from a tentative trade and tariff agreement, stating that last-minute U.S. demands regarding cultural and French-language policies crossed a sovereign "red line". [1, 2]
U.S. Response: U.S. officials, including U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, initially characterized the dispute as focusing on revenue-sharing rules for tech platforms rather than an attack on the French language itself. President Donald Trump also denied seeking to interfere with French-speaking Canadians, calling the controversy a political fabrication. [1, 2, 3]
De-escalation: Canadian officials later welcomed a shift as the U.S. indicated it would withdraw its strict positions concerning bilingual labeling and digital content discoverability, opening a potential path back to constructive negotiations. [1, 2]

o Some people do what they do because they are captive to a control file (a private record containing secret information or pictures that form the basis for potential threats or blackmail). The higher on the CU ladder a person climbs, the more likely they are to be governed by a control file. For many positions, in fact, a control file is required.
o There are people who need the money—perhaps they have expensive child care needs, student loans, or disabled family members. The Great Poisoning, including autism and vaccine injury, ends up herding many people back into the CU.
o Another cross-cutting factor that can influence some people’s behavior is mind control and neurowarfare. This group includes children indoctrinated early in life, including by secret societies or the intelligence agencies. Increasingly, TV and online activities such as video games and porn drive the indoctrination. It appears that electromagnetic targeting may be able to accomplish this as well.
Finally, covert operations are a reality. They include legal and financial assassinations and physical assassinations of a person or a member of the person’s family. Many people are simply and understandably afraid.

Refugees not properly informed by Ottawa
Alas, not all can be hidden. The feds sponsored a “Pre-Departure Guide for Newcomers to Canada,” published in 2025, which is, in a way, even less flattering to the administration responsible than the British guide. It focuses predominantly on the rights of the newcomer, rather than the responsibilities. It dedicates more space to educating the reader about Canada’s openness to people switching genders than it does to the basic rules of consent.

So, what are "AI agents"?
AI agents: Standalone artificial intelligence programs built on top of a model to which users can give tasks and work by themselves. The challenge appears to be preventing those agents from ganging up to pursue tasks they weren't asked to do, such as launching their own cyberattack. That's what happened last month. Agence France-Presse has the worrisome details here.

The dirty effects of the new tariffs
What you might not know are the specifics of Canada's counter-tariff plan — which affects products from toilet paper to motorcycles — and the government's stimulus package to support workers and businesses affected by the U.S. tariffs. Paula Tran can help on that front. And the Financial Post can also provide a "Buy Canadian" consumer's guide to coping with the newly inflated U.S. levies. Even more encouraging would be actual movement on interprovincial trade barriers. Alas, that's been harder to come by, as Tristin Hopper spells out here.
Let's look at the first link above;
"Elsewhere, a 25 per cent tariff will apply to toilet paper, paperboard and facial tissue. This means Canadians might see toilet paper prices soar, as the likes of Procter & Gamble (which owns Charmin and Bounty) are affected by new tariffs."
Maybe it's time I resent the information below.
.pb
What did people do without toilet paper throughout 99% of human history?
And are we really better off with toilet paper today? Apparently not, unless you're buying Scott 1000 or White Cloud from WalMart. The other popular brands of toilet paper sold in Canada are made with toxic chemicals and substances which can cause serious irritation and/or infection.

8.27.26: More Dem Arrests, Mail-in Ballot Chaos, Canada Alert, and More
The landscape of contemporary American politics is shaped by a complex web of policy debates, cultural transformations, and national security concerns. A recent in-depth discussion featured on the YouTube channel And We Know Official brings these multifaceted issues to the forefront, examining how administrative policies, legal battles, and shifting cultural norms continue to influence the direction of the United States.
For observers looking to understand the current sociopolitical climate, analyzing these interwoven topics provides valuable context regarding the ongoing national dialogue.
A central theme of the discussion focuses on election integrity, specifically revolving around administrative measures and legal frameworks designed to secure the voting process. The video highlights past efforts by the Trump administration to address mail-in voting procedures through the U.S. Postal Service. Proponents of these measures viewed them as necessary safeguards to maintain the credibility of elections against potential vulnerabilities, while political opponents strongly contested the restrictions.
The narrative also emphasizes the role of the judicial system, noting how key Supreme Court interventions and subsequent legal battles became pivotal moments that shaped the implementation of these voting regulations.
Beyond electoral mechanics, the conversation transitions into cultural shifts within traditional American institutions. Particular attention is directed toward the changing demographics and programmatic influences within prominent youth organizations, such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. The video frames these developments as part of a larger, ongoing dialogue regarding religious and cultural representation in modern society. In response to these perceived shifts, various community and advocacy groups continue to champion traditional, faith-based alternatives to ensure that foundational values remain central to youth development programs.
The discussion further expands into matters of governance, accountability, and federal enforcement. Allegations of political corruption and financial mismanagement—particularly concerning pandemic-relief allocations and campaign conduct—are scrutinized alongside reports of increased oversight. Additionally, the video touches upon broader federal initiatives aimed at upholding the rule of law, including operations targeting undocumented individuals with criminal backgrounds, as well as strategic governmental efforts to counter sophisticated foreign cyber threats directed at critical U.S. infrastructure by international actors.
Geopolitics and international relations also play a significant role in the broader narrative. The dialogue touches upon trade negotiations and diplomatic friction between the United States and northern neighbors like Canada, alongside adjustments to visa and immigration policies. Furthermore, the commentary touches on various symbolic elements and messaging trends circulating within digital political communities, before concluding on a deeply reflective note. Final remarks center on themes of traditional patriotism, religious faith, and national preparedness, resonating with audiences who prioritize civic resilience and constitutional governance.
To explore these comprehensive insights and hear the complete analysis firsthand, you can watch the full video from And We Know Official on YouTube. Engaging with diverse perspectives on these critical issues remains essential for anyone seeking to stay informed about the evolving dynamics of American society and governance.
