Court Painter makes the case that his former high school hoop skills as a run and gun triple threat crossover dribbler and dunker should be marshalled to sink the Warriors and swish the Raptors into the expectant heart of the Great Dominion’s wet hoop dream!

Court Painter very quickly dropped his basketball sideline cheering with an unknown rapper and headed across the pond with his painting kit to cover the latest royalty hijinks by the world’s best known royal pain in the ass.

Her Majesty was very kind to show the royal pain selections from the Court Painter collection which featured an American dancer and acquaintance of his royal pain.

Michael J. Cooper  Conservative MP  represents the riding of St Albert-Edmonton . Cooper serving as vice-chair of the Standing Committee on Justice & Human Rights was removed by party leader Andrew Scheer after Cooper confronted witness Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council president Faisal Khan Suri in a manner that was considered offensive by reading into the record a passage from the Christchurch Shooter’s Manifesto — which has been banned in New Zealand.

The committee suspended its hearing before returning to the witnesses, after which Cooper offered a tepid apology.  He said he would withdraw his comment, saying the witness should be ashamed, “but certainly not the rest of what I said.”

What got Cooper’s baby blue conservative knickers in a knot was the witness drawing a link (among others) between “conservative commentators” and the online history of mosque shooter Alexandre Bissonnette at which Cooper expressed ‘great umbrage’.

The head of the Alberta Muslim anti-racism advocacy group questioned what Cooper was doing with the manifesto. “That manifesto should not be in the hands of any Canadian whatsoever. That is the most grotesque thing that I could ever see… Why would I even want to have or read a document that somewhat dignifies and justifies the murder of 51 innocent people?”

Cooper remains in Scheer’s shadow cabinet as deputy justice  critic.

Halifax’s police chief has issued a formal apology to Nova Scotia’s black community today over the practice of street checks, describing it as a first step to counter a series of historic wrongs.

The Board of Police Commissioners was somewhat concerned that the No Apology branded merchandise had become unsalable until one bright light pointed out that it would be wise to sit on it since another No Apology occasion was sure to arise at anytime in the future.

(The Halifax Regional Police merchandise online site actually exists)

Members of Nova Scotia’s black community say the refusal by Halifax Regional Police and RCMP to apologize for street checks  speaks volumes.

Street checks (carding) allow police officers to document information about a person they believe could be of significance to a future investigation, and record details such as their ethnicity, gender, age and location.

In March, a report by University of Toronto criminology professor Scot Wortley found black people in the Halifax area were six times more likely to be street checked by police than white people. The report also found random street checks contributed to the criminalization of black youth.

To acknowledge the report the Halifax Regional Police Apparel web site is featuring a new line of NO APOLOGY merchandise for all products on offer.

Justice minister Mark Furey doesn’t have an apparel web site however he is rumoured to have bought a number of Classic T Shirts for his staff and Bistro mugs for the Premier and cabinet.

The Board of Police Commissioners members reportedly are big on the Fleece items as gifts and family wear.

The short sleeve maternity T Shirt is a winner!

It recognizes that enhancing access to reproductive health services is a valid and constitutional objective. It affirms that women’s right to autonomy over their deeply personal, individual health and life choices cannot be superseded by the personal views of health professionals. It confirms the importance of access to reproductive health services for women’s health and wellbeing, and signals that the Court will protect initiatives that safeguard women’s access to these services.

WASHINGTON  – President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a full pardon for former media mogul Conrad Black, who was convicted in 2007 of fraud and obstruction of justice and spent 3-1/2 years in prison, the White House said.

Black, 74, a Canadian-born British citizen, once ran an international newspaper empire that included the Chicago Sun-Times, Britain’s Daily Telegraph and the Jerusalem Post.

In a  statement from the White House , (rumoured to have been ghost written by Conrad Moffat Black, Baron Black of Crossharbour, KCSG)  said Black in addition to harbouring great admiration for the invention of the wheel, has made tremendous contributions to business, as well as to political and historical thought and Lord Black’s case has attracted broad support from many high-profile individuals who have vigorously vouched for his exceptional character. So there!

A bunch of law abiding whiners complained about different strokes for different folks or something like that.

They were quickly reminded that the rich will always be with us!
