With Canada Day Celebrations Cancelled, Thousands Blanket Ottawa Streets To Protest Trudeau Government ‘Corruption’

With annual July 1 Canada Day celebrations cancelled due to a continuing coronavirus lockdown , thousands marched from Parliament Hill to the United States Embassy in Ottawa to protest “ corruption ” in the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau .
The participants gathered at Parliament Hill , usually the site of a star-studded gala to celebrate the Confederation of Canada in 1867 , and marched to the embassy , carrying anti-Trudeau signs and shouting that the Liberals continue to govern Canada throughout the COVID-19 pandemic via weekly news conferences and executive orders .
The turnout was a result @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media but was organized under the auspices of activist Norman Traversy ’ s Justice for Canada organization .
Traversy is waging a civil lawsuit against Trudeau to resurrect the SNC-Lavalin scandal , where Trudeau was accused by the former federal attorney general of judicial interference on behalf of the Quebec contractor .

thedailycaller--2020-07-01--Former Transgender Girl Recounts How She Was ‘Brainwashed’ By The Online Trans Community

Editor ’ s note : What follows is an excerpt from Abigail Shrier ’ s new book “ Irreversible Damage : The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters ” ( available here at Barnes and Noble ) .
Shrier investigates the increasing rate at which young girls are coming out as transgender and the ways in which these girls are enticed into the trans community .
Benji is one of a growing number of young women uniquely capable of warning girls in the grips of gender fever that it might be a good idea to turn back .
But Benji doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calamity .
What she escaped — she insists — was a cult .
Like a lot of the young women who suddenly identify as trans , Benji was both an intellectually precocious and highly anxious girl .
At five she began playing the violin and took to it immediately , soon adding harp , piano , and viola .
She was a voracious reader , but at nine , she began developing breasts , which made her terribly uncomfortable and self-conscious .
She became anorexic , sometimes passing out in class .
Her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to eat .
She was diagnosed with depression .
But her talent and smarts proved resilient .
Like her younger sister , she was admitted to one of the best public arts schools in Canada .
Her parents ’ relationship was rocky .
She and her sister were occasionally the target of physical abuse .
Her sister weathered their childhood by smoking pot , cutting , and tipping into periodic bouts of depression .
Benji fell into YouTube and Tumblr .
At thirteen , she discovered videos of women enthusing over their transformation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in her body , and unhappy at home , Benji found the possibility of escape enrapturing .
She never doubted the accuracy of the purely positive accounts of medical transition .
Kids her generation may be sophisticated when it comes to utilizing technology , Benji told me , but they are strikingly naïve about the truthfulness or completeness of the content .
“ They think that the mainstream news is full of lies and garbage , but when it comes from an independent person , that must be more realistic or something , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she said .
Postmodern queer theory regards experience as more valid than fact , she said , and her generation imbibes endless streams of this ideology from the internet .
“ So when you see somebody [ on Tumblr ] talking about their experience and their opinions , that can trump data and facts because experience is more authentic than data or something.
” Benji decided privately that her story matched the video accounts of trans men online : She was trans , too .
She set up her first Tumblr account and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
She wasn ’ t sure anyone would notice .
To her surprise , she received an overwhelming “ love bombing ” from strangers .
You “ get people direct messaging you that you ’ ve never spoken to before , being like , ‘ Wow , this must be so hard for you , how can I help you ?
’ or like , ‘ You ’ re so brave.
’ Like that kind of thing , ” she told me .
“ There ’ s just so much positive reinforcement that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all for any criticism or any thought that something bad could be happening.
” At first , she explored her new identity exclusively online , interacting with trans adults—people she came to think of as her “ real friends , ” the ones who actually knew her .
Not only could she be freer online than she ever managed to be with people in real life , her online “ friends ” knew her secret .
They were unconditionally supportive , showering her with praise .
“ If I lost my phone or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I would like have a breakdown because I was completely dependent on [ my online ‘ friends ’ ] .

Editor’s note: What follows is an excerpt from Abigail Shrier’s new book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” (available here at Barnes and Noble). Shrier investigates the increasing rate at which young girls are coming out as transgender and the ways in which these girls are enticed into the trans community.
Benji is one of a growing number of young women uniquely capable of warning girls in the grips of gender fever that it might be a good idea to turn back. But Benji doesn’t believe she merely avoided personal calamity. What she escaped — she insists — was a cult.
Like a lot of the young women who suddenly identify as trans, Benji was both an intellectually precocious and highly anxious girl. At five she began playing the violin and took to it immediately, soon adding harp, piano, and viola. She was a voracious reader, but at nine, she began developing breasts, which made her terribly uncomfortable and self-conscious. She became anorexic, sometimes passing out in class. Her parents bought her Ensure and begged her to eat. She was diagnosed with depression. But her talent and smarts proved resilient. Like her younger sister, she was admitted to one of the best public arts schools in Canada.
Her parents’ relationship was rocky. She and her sister were occasionally the target of physical abuse. Her sister weathered their childhood by smoking pot, cutting, and tipping into periodic bouts of depression.
Benji fell into YouTube and Tumblr. At thirteen, she discovered videos of women enthusing over their transformation into men. Feeling unfeminine, awkward in her body, and unhappy at home, Benji found the possibility of escape enrapturing. She never doubted the accuracy of the purely positive accounts of medical transition.
Kids her generation may be sophisticated when it comes to utilizing technology, Benji told me, but they are strikingly naïve about the truthfulness or completeness of the content. “They think that the mainstream news is full of lies and garbage, but when it comes from an independent person, that must be more realistic or something, more authentic in some way,” she said. Postmodern queer theory regards experience as more valid than fact, she said, and her generation imbibes endless streams of this ideology from the internet. “So when you see somebody [on Tumblr] talking about their experience and their opinions, that can trump data and facts because experience is more authentic than data or something.”
Benji decided privately that her story matched the video accounts of trans men online: She was trans, too. She set up her first Tumblr account and quietly announced herself as trans to viewers. She wasn’t sure anyone would notice. To her surprise, she received an overwhelming “love bombing” from strangers.
You “get people direct messaging you that you’ve never spoken to before, being like, ‘Wow, this must be so hard for you, how can I help you?’ or like, ‘You’re so brave.’ Like that kind of thing,” she told me. “There’s just so much positive reinforcement that there’s just no room at all for any criticism or any thought that something bad could be happening.”
At first, she explored her new identity exclusively online, interacting with trans adults—people she came to think of as her “real friends,” the ones who actually knew her. Not only could she be freer online than she ever managed to be with people in real life, her online “friends” knew her secret. They were unconditionally supportive, showering her with praise. “If I lost my phone or my parents took it away from me, I would like have a breakdown because I was completely dependent on [my online ‘friends’].”
Often, various adults—mostly, men identifying as trans women—would ask to “sext.” By fourteen, she was too curious and far too agreeable not to comply. On the occasions when she demurred, they accused her of “kink shaming,” making them feel bad about their sexual predilections—a mortal sin in these online communities. Often, when Benji tried to assert a sexual boundary, her adult interlocutors would accuse her of transphobic oppression. The last thing she ever wanted was to upset them.
The gender ideology world she inhabited was a “cult,” she insists, because “when you’re inside, you believe non-reality and you disbelieve reality. It literally got to a point where if I was in a queer space,” she said, “I would look at someone, and I couldn’t tell if they were male or female until they told me because I had trained myself to think that way. I would look at somebody and be like, ‘I don’t even know what their sex or gender is because I haven’t asked them their pronouns yet.’ I was so brainwashed.”
When she complained online about her parents, queer adults often coached her on running away from her family. At the time, she believed that these adults — not her parents — had her best interest in mind, and that they were generally helping her to escape mentally and physically from a tumultuous home. But she no longer sees it that way. They were “weaponizing it against me to kind of draw me into their community more and draw me away from anyone who would give me rational ways of thinking about my life.”
She came to believe, in fact, that the only people she could trust were trans-identified. That, she says, is a mantra you hear frequently in the gender ideology world: you can’t trust “cis” people—you can only trust trans. “They tell you that you cannot emotionally or psychologically depend on your family or any cis-hets [cisgender heterosexuals] or non-queer people because they can’t possibly understand you or empathize with you or love you for who you really are.”
Questioning the panacea of medical transition was strictly verboten. At one point, Benji tried to “follow” a gay man on social media whose bio indicated that he was “homosexual — not homogenderal,” meaning he didn’t buy into gender ideology. She wanted to ask him questions and listen to what he had to say. According to Benji, one of her queer friends snapped a screenshot revealing that Benji followed this man and had allowed him to follow her back. The screenshot was then posted online, and Benji’s queer friend implored their mutual friends to “cancel” Benji and block her, she says. “Just because I allowed this person to follow me without blocking [him] immediately was proof that I should be excommunicated.”
Benji was angry with her friend, and she let him know. He didn’t back down. “He was like, ‘If you talk to these people, what they have to say to you will make you suicidal. You will lose your identity, you will stop being trans. You will literally die if you talk to these people.’”
Online shaming — she says — is pervasive in the gender ideology world, and a key mechanism for controlling the behavior of the suddenly trans-identified. If your friends catch you failing to use the correct terminology, they will attempt to reeducate you. They believe they are helping. They don’t want you to be called out. They don’t want to have to cancel you, too.

Christian Wedding Photographer Sues Over Virginia Law Forbidding Businesses From Refusing Service To Same-Sex Couples

A Christian wedding photographer has filed a lawsuit challenging a Virginia state law that could punish him with hefty fines if he refused services for same-sex weddings .
Alliance Defending Freedom is representing photographer Chris Herring in the lawsuit filed Tuesday against the Virginia Values Act , which went into effect Wednesday and prohibits discrimination in both private and public employment .
The new law , which was approved by Democratic Gov .

Herring is also a blogger, and the law would forbid him from publicly explaining on his studio’s website the religious reasons for why he only celebrates wedding ceremonies between a man and a woman. The state considers such communication “discriminatory” on the basis of sexual orientation even when the beliefs are expressed by a private business.
“It isn’t the state’s job to tell me what I must capture on film or publish on my website,” Herring said according to ADF.
“My religious beliefs influence every aspect of my life, including the stories I tell through my photography.

Although the law was only put into effect Wednesday, ADF filed the lawsuit to make sure it can’t be applied in a way that’s going to force Herring or anyone else to violate their core convictions.

“With Masterpiece Cakeshop, the Supreme Court came in and told Colorado that they cannot treat Christians as second class citizens,” Anderson said. “They can’t force Christians or anyone to violate their core convictions, something that everyone in this country should agree with.”
The complaint also notes that there are hundreds of other photographers in Virginia who will photograph same-sex weddings, and Herring wants the same artistic freedom as these other photographers.
“Nobody should face government punishment for simply living out their convictions. We all have things we can and cannot do and so it’s much bigger than the marriage issue even though that’s where it’s being litigated most now. The freedoms we give up in this area are freedoms we’re giving up elsewhere.”

Floyd died on May 25 after Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, a video shows. Three other officers, two of whom were rookies, who were on the scene during the incident and have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder in Floyd’s death.
Lawyers for the two rookie officers, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, said in court that Chauvin bears the blame for Floyd’s killing, citing his status as the senior officer at the scene and as a training officer, according to The New York Times.
Chauvin, meanwhile, received complaints at over double the rate of the average officer on the force, the DCNF previously reported, citing data compiled by an anti-police brutality nonprofit. (RELATED: Derek Chauvin Trained New Officers Despite Receiving Complaints At Over Double The Rate Of Average Officers)
Minneapolis police officers received a median of three complaints between October 2012 and December 2019, according to a database created by Communities United Against Police Brutality (CUAPB). Chauvin received seven complaints in that time frame, according to the database.
“Using such an officer for training is an indefensible practice,” CUAPB board member Dave Bicking previously told the DCNF.
“It just reinforces the culture that they claim to be trying to improve,” Bicking said. “While everyone claims to be opposed to police brutality, it actually serves the purposes of repression and control, particularly of people of color and other marginalized groups.”
The Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved a proposal on Friday to abolish the city’s police department following weeks of nationwide protests over Floyd’s death, according to NPR. The city council said it would replace the MPD with “a department of community safety and violence prevention.”

‘That’s The Position I’m Gonna Take’: Bolton Refuses To Say Whether He Briefed Trump On Russia Bounty Intel

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton refused to directly address whether he had briefed President Donald Trump on intelligence that Russia paid Afghan militants to kill U.S. troops during an interview with “ Mornings on the Mall ” ( WMAL ) Thursday .
Bolton reportedly told administration officials he personally briefed Trump on the intel , according to the Associated Press Monday evening .

Walter began by noting that “ there seems to be some confusion surrounding the current news story and ” Bolton ’ s “ role in it.

“ Well you know , the Associated Press wrote that story four or five days ago now , ” Bolton began .
“ They called to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comment on aspects about me .
They say we ’ ve been going over this scuffle about whether there ’ s classified information out there and when I wrote the book I was extremely careful not to put what I though to be classified information in the book and that ’ s just a practice that I think is very important.

” “ Well as I said just a moment ago I said no comment to the AP when they first asked me about it and that ’ s the position I ’ m gon na @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that “ the real question is how the administration is handling the issue today.
