#MackenzieKing’s “cheerleading” for #Hitler’s regime got a tremendous boost during his tour of landmarks of the #Nazi “miracle,” as Teigrob recounts in riveting detail. The photographs tell a very chilling story as well, especially one that shows King sitting proudly in Hitler’s seat at the All-German Sports Competitions while surrounded by Nazi bigwigs in full swastika-studded regalia.
"We learn, for example, that King had an abiding fear of Americans, such as President Theodore Roosevelt, wanting to take over Canada; that he felt a kinship to Hitler because of the two leaders’ attachments to their mothers; and that he saw himself on a divine mission, fulfilling the destiny of his rebel grandfather and namesake, William Lyon Mackenzie, in trying to bring Britain and Germany together to avoid war"
#PaperExcellence has hired McMillan at least six times over the last six years to advise on more than $6 billion US in transactions, including its takeovers of #forestry companies #CatalystPaper, #Domtar & #ResoluteForestProducts. It also represented a Paper Excellence subsidiary in a dispute with CN Rail.
Multiple #legal#ethics experts said they felt the FSC's decision to hire McMillan was problematic.
@MatWright Going back decades. Clearcutting/deforestation & corrupt backroom relationships between BC governments & ecocidal companies just got more entrenched. Both the former BC Liberals & BC NDP aren't into much solid environmental protections. They are both bought out in backrooms by same deforestation/ecocidal lobbyists.
In #Canada, many #BlackHeroes, in #baseball as elsewhere, remain unknown. The #Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, whose mission is to commemorate “great players, teams, and accomplishments of baseball in Canada” and create “a culture which champions education, respect, diversity and healthy lifestyles across generations” has continued to place #BlackHistory below white achievement.
"Recently, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, for the fifth straight year, shunned the 1934 Chatham Coloured All-Stars, a team that overcame segregation, discrimination, violence, and blatantly biased officiating to become the first all-Black team in Canadian history to win a provincial title. The team was on the verge of a second championship in 1939 when the playoffs were canceled due to war."
The “enhanced care model,” replaced #litigation based model & provides set amounts of #compensation by #injury type to victims, regardless of fault & without a referral. It eliminates most victims’ #RightToSue.
@CStamp I hope he's successful with lawsuit. No fault insurance harms a lot of people who are disabled & facing increased costs of living - when they are the victims.
Both #faculty and #encampment members took issue with how the president directed blame for those incidents, with the former saying it could hinder meaningful dialogue and the latter saying they’re being #scapegoated.
The faculty group on Friday said they’re around the encampment almost 24/7 and they’re concerned the information coming the #university “does not align with what most of us have seen first hand at the encampment.”
The only 24-hour library on Vancouver Island, the #VIU university library is steps away from the pro-Palestinian #protest encampment that was set up at the VIU quad early Tuesday morning.
The statement did not give a reason for the increased #restrictions.
