Quebec Sets Plan to Bar Most Immigrants
Who Don’t Speak French
Posted By: NorthernDog, 11/30/2022 9:15:32 PM
Quebec Premier Francois Legault, concerned about the decline of the French language in the Canadian province, has set a new goal for immigrants: They should all speak French. Legault’s nationalist Coalition Avenir Quebec party was re-elected with a huge majority in October, partly on a platform of protecting French as the dominant language in the province of 8.7 million people. His speech to the legislature Wednesday laid out his priorities for his second term, including a plan to bar almost all economic immigrants who don’t speak French by 2026. “The objective is to stop the decline of French, in particular

The mass email hit some flight attendants' inboxes mid-flight. "Today it's with great regret that I let you know about our decision to close the SFO flight attendant base," American Airlines executive Brady Byrnes said in the September memo obtained by Insider.
In closing its San Francisco base, citing economic factors and shifting customer demand, American presented 400 flight attendants with a choice that many said felt impossible to make: leave the airline or leave the state. The base is home to some of the carrier's most senior flight attendants, two-thirds of whom have been at the airline for 13
James Clyburn, the No. 3 US House Democrat credited with boosting Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, said the president called him Thursday to say he was recommending that South Carolina replace Iowa as the first nominating contest. (Snip) “He called me yesterday, before the dinner and he told me that’s what his decision was and I thanked him. And I told him I would see him later on in the evening and that was it. I was surprised,” Clyburn said in an interview Friday. The Democratic National Committee later released a letter, dated Thursday, that Biden sent to its Rules and

Students at a liberal arts college complained to their school's student-run newspaper that the current all-gender housing accommodation is not sufficient and needs to be expanded. St. Paul, Minnesota-based Macalester College received backlash, although it currently accommodates transgender students by providing "intentional housing" in Doty Hall for first-years, and returning students are able to request to live in the "All-Gender Community." Currently, the "All-Gender Community" reportedly houses 10 students. Furthermore, returning students are also allowed "to live with whichever gender they identify with on single gendered floors." Yet, a student named Nico Lipman, who claims to be "non-binary" and uses
Nearly two months after the death of dozens of calves south of Meeker — originally believed to be caused by wolves — wildlife officials, veterinarians and the rancher who suffered the losses all remain perplexed as to how the animals died. The role wolves may have played has diminished since the original news release by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife on Oct. 7, but the predator has not been completely ruled out. Meanwhile, disease has gained ground as a possible cause. Jerry Klinglesmith, the Meeker-area rancher who suffered the losses reported Oct. 4, recently released what he said is the most likely

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden hails unions at almost every turn, often declaring "unions built the middle class" and that his goal is to be "the most pro-union president" in U.S. history. But as he urges Congress to intervene in a labor dispute to avert a freight rail strike before the holidays, the president is facing a backlash from labor allies. Union workers hoped to secure paid sick leave in a final contract, among other assurances, but congressional action pushed by Biden would force some terms they oppose. "The actions speak for themselves. Don't tell me what you are. Show me
Climate change activists in eight countries claim they deflated tires on more than 900 SUVs in what they call their "largest-ever night of action against SUVs." (Snip) The group says 52 cars were hit in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York City, as were hundreds of others across the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands, according to a post on its website. The group says their goal is to "make it impossible to own" large cars like SUVs and 4x4s "in the world's urban areas." "We're taking this action because governments and politicians have failed to
LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County health officials reported more than 5,400 new COVID-19 infections from a three-day period ending Monday, along with 15 new virus-related deaths. The county Department of Public Health reported 1,640 new cases for Saturday, 2,175 for Sunday and 1,599 for Monday. The 5,414 new cases lifted the county's cumulative number from throughout the pandemic to 3,535,493. Overall official case numbers are believed to be artificially low, due to residents who use at-home tests and do not report the results to the county, and others who do not get tested at all. The 15 new COVID-related deaths
A Russian billionaire who was said to have links to Moscow’s foreign intelligence died in a mysterious helicopter crash after a passenger cancelled at the last minute. Businessman Vyacheslav Taran, 53, was killed in the crash near the village of Eze, after taking off from Lausanne, Switzerland. A 35-year-old French pilot was also killed in the accident that happened in the Alpes-Maritimes, in the southeast of France. There was supposed to be another passenger onboard but they mysteriously cancelled at the last minute. The accident happened around 1 pm on November 25, Monaco Daily News reported, when the single-engine light
Rep. Donald McEachin, a Richmond Democrat who represented Virginia’s 4th Congressional District, died Monday of the secondary effects of colorectal cancer, according to a statement released by his office. He was 61. Tara Rountree, McEachin’s chief of staff, said in a statement late Monday: “Valiantly, for years now, we have watched him fight and triumph over the secondary effects of his colorectal cancer from 2013. Tonight, he lost that battle.” McEachin was first elected to Virginia’s 4th District in 2016, when the district included parts of Chesapeake and Suffolk. The district boundaries were changed in 2020 and took up most
The Dutch government plans to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to comply with EU nature preservation rules. The Netherlands is attempting to cut down its nitrogen pollution and will push ahead with compulsory purchases if not enough farms take up the offer voluntarily. Farmers will be offered a deal “well over” the worth of the farm, according to the government plan that is targeting the closure of 2,000 to 3,000 farms or other major polluting businesses. Earlier leaked versions of the plan put the figure at 120 per cent of the farm’s value
LONDON -- The World Health Organization has renamed monkeypox as mpox, citing concerns the original name of the decades-old animal disease could be construed as discriminatory and racist. The U.N. health agency said in a statement Monday that mpox was its new preferred name for monkeypox, saying that both monkeypox and mpox would be used for the next year while the old name is phased out. WHO said it was concerned by the “racist and stigmatizing language” that arose after monkeypox spread to more than 100 countries. It said numerous individuals and countries asked the organization “to propose a way

Who visits the White House with the first thought about how to steal its property?
Seems celebrity-star Chrissy Teigen had that thought, and decided to share it with all her millions of adoring followers on Instagram.
It's buried within a gushy Parade magazine story about the dress Teigen wore to this week's White House state dinner for France's president, Emmanuel Macron:
Teigen shared some shots from the night on her Instagram, writing: "The State Dinner! Being in the White House will never not be extremely exciting. Secret Service! Tiny things you want to steal but don’t because you want to be invited back! Sitting next to the secretary of defense Lloyd Austin

Docuseries Trailer Gets Mercilessly Trashed

Netflix’s teaser trailer for its upcoming docuseries about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is getting trashed on YouTube, garnering more than 100,000 “thumbs down” reactions compared to just 15,000 “thumbs up” just one day after being uploaded. Commenters are also mercilessly roasting the trailer, with one user saying it “makes me respect Kate and William so much.”
The streamer dropped the trailer for Harry & Meghan on Thursday but has yet to announce a release date for the long-in-the-works series. The teaser, which has already been viewed 2.5 million times on YouTube, begins with a series of black-and-white still shots of the Sussexes set to dramatic music
We’ve seen some bombshell revelations in the Elon Musk Twitter drop about the suppression files including those surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop story. There are freakouts underway on the left and we see a fascinating take by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) who expressed concerns about the First Amendment. Twitter should have paid attention to that because it looks like they went far over the edge with what they did. As the records showed, the Biden team was reaching out and getting people suspended from Twitter.
Among the revelations was an incredible record that indicated the DNC had asked Twitter to take down actor James Woods.
It may not have been the dumbest thing on the Internet last week, but it was the dumbest thing I read. Nick Fuentes visited Mar-a-Lago as a guest of Kanye West. The media describes Fuentes as a Holocaust Denier and White Supremacist. The two ate with Donald Trump, who was unaware of who this Fuentes dude is. I am clueless about Fuentes as well. But the media manufactured another scandal out of the incident. Conservative poseurs obediently are clutching their pearls over this like the little country club Republicans they are.
No president did more for Israel than Trump. No president had a daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren who were Jewish.
What If MAGA Shrugged?

Congressional lizards posing as "leaders" met with China Joe in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, and the wretched gerontocracy that rules over us looked happy as clams to be reunited after the political theater of the midterms. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Kevin McCarthy, and Turtle McConnell all sported sly, devilish grins that suggested they got exactly what they wanted in last month's elections.
In undermining MAGA candidates, Turtle's iron-fisted control over his Republican minority remains absolute. Up-Chuck and Child-Sniffer Joe still hold the Senate
Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? Maybe now you’re hoping to celebrate Christmas and Dr. Fauci’s retirement, drink some egg nog at a party and not obsess over COVID during the holidays? Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer has other ideas, and desperately wants to bring back mask mandates to the county’s ten million people due to a rise in cases.
Speaking at a press conference Thursday, she reminded us that the pandemic is definitely not over (even though President Joe Biden said months ago that it was): "There is this common line of thinking that the pandemic is over and COVID is no longer of concern, but
The Swiss government announced its plan to deal with expected energy shortfalls this winter, and it sounds like a lot of fun — provided you’re a shut-in who likes reading by candlelight under multiple blankets.
The alpine country — one of the wealthiest in the world — will severely restrict electric vehicles from its roads, according to a Daily Mail report. If the country runs out of power, EVs won’t be allowed out for anything but “essential” travel.
But the restrictions don’t end there.
The contingency plan calls for three levels of energy rationing.
Under the least extreme, most buildings would be limited to 20C (68F)
Doha, Qatar — The devastating blow that knocked the U.S. men's national team out of the 2022 World Cup was a 21-pass Dutch masterpiece. It was class and ruthlessness personified, clockwork orange from front to back to front. It crushed American optimism that had swelled throughout two weeks in Qatar, and eventually sent the American team trudging toward their traditional exit.
It led to Netherlands 3, U.S. 1 here at the Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday, and to a game during which the USMNT crashed head-first into its current ceiling.
Matt Taibbi, who has been tweeting out documents showing the Biden campaign’s connection to censorship on Twitter about censoring stories they didn’t like on Twitter (including the Hunter Biden laptop story) deleted a tweet that revealed a rather odd e-mail address that former CEO.
There was one major theme that jumped out to me in the Elon Musk / Matt Taibbi “Twitter Files” bombshell posts from tonight…
One thing most people are not talking about.
Two things actually.
Trump calls for ‘termination’ of election

rules in Constitution to overturn 2020 election 15 replies
Former President Trump called for the termination of the Constitution’s rules regarding elections to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election following the release of more detailed information about Twitter’s role in suppressing a story about Hunter Biden.
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
“Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!” he continued.
Trump’s post comes after the first of the “Twitter files” on “free speech suppression” were posted on Twitter on Friday. The posts focused
Dec. 3 -- On this date in history:
In 1818, Illinois was admitted as the 21st state in the United States.
In 1833, Oberlin College in Ohio, the first truly coeducational college in the United States, opened with an enrollment of 29 men and 15 women.
In 1929, the Ford Motor Co. raised the pay of its employees from $6 to $7 a day despite the collapse of the U.S. stock market.
In 1967, Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first successful heart transplant at Cape Town, South Africa.
In 1984, poison gas leaked at a Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India, in the world's worst chemical disaster. Death toll estimates varied widely.

In a way I don't blame them. It's a good way to stop endless hordes. It also puts Queen Justine is an awkward spot since he likes all the new world order immigrants.
