Promoted to national prominence by a coterie of reporters tackling pandemic misinformation, physician Allison Neitzel took a hard fall last week when she was forced to atone for promoting misinformation and defaming medical experts—by posting an apology on her website, and pinning the same to the top of her social media X account. But unless you hang on every word of Democratic Party aligned reporters with a knack for labeling everyone they don’t like a “conspiracy theorist,” you likely don’t know physician Allison Neitzel.
If you haven’t heard of her, you should know her name and story.
If I had a dime for every time I found something “hard to listen to” I’d be a billionaire. That said, Mao’s Little Red Guards were out in full force in Dauphin when, God forbid, a school trustee expressed his opinions on the residential school system. I’m sure the anti-racism struggle session that followed his remarks must have been a real treat.
A school trustee in western Manitoba is facing calls to resign, and the province says it’s launching a review, after a presentation in which he made comments decried as hateful, including questioning the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools.
The trustee also said reference to white privilege is a “racist comment” because groups shouldn’t be labelled based on the colour of their skin, and argued acronyms such as BIPOC and LGBTQ are “degrading.”
Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported that losses soared in the first quarter to $1.3 billion, or $132,000 for each of the 10,000 vehicles it sold in the first three months of the year, helping to drag down earnings for the company overall.
Ford, like most automakers, has announced plans to shift from traditional gas-powered vehicles to EVs in coming years. But it is the only traditional automaker to break out results of its retail EV sales. And the results it reported Wednesday show another sign of the profit pressures on the EV business at Ford and other automakers.
On Monday, April 22nd, around 11:30 am, Manitoba RCMP responded to an incident at a daycare facility situated on Morris Avenue in Selkirk. Police received a report detailing an indecent by an individual within the premises, exposing himself before children and staff, before departing the scene on foot. An employee quickly called RCMP and furnished them with a description of the culprit.

New evidence challenges the Pentagon’s account of a horrific attack as the US withdrew from Afghanistan
The incident was a gruesome coda to America’s longest war, leaving dead 13 United States military service members and about 170 Afghans who were desperately seeking US help to flee the Taliban takeover of Kabul. For two years, the US military has insisted that the loss of life was caused by a single explosion, and that troops who reported coming under fire and returning it were likely confused in the chaotic aftermath, some suffering from the effects of blast concussion.
But video captured by a Marine’s GoPro camera that has not been seen publicly in full before shows there was far more gunfire than the Pentagon has ever admitted. A dozen US military personnel, who were on the scene and spoke to CNN anonymously for fear of reprisals, have described the gunfire in detail. One told CNN he heard the first large burst of shooting come from where US Marines were standing, near the blast site. “It wasn’t onesies and twosies,” the Marine said. “It was a mass volume of gunfire.”
Wall Street was rattled by economic figures that showed exactly what stock traders did not want to hear: a significant slowdown in the world’s largest economy and persistent inflation pressures.[…]
Gross domestic product increased at a 1.6 per cent annualized rate, trailing forecasts. A closely watched measure of underlying inflation advanced at a greater-than-expected 3.7 per cent clip.
“This report was the worst of both worlds: economic growth is slowing and inflationary pressures are persisting,” said Chris Zaccarelli at Independent Advisor Alliance. “The Fed wants to see inflation start coming down in a persistent manner, but the market wants to see economic growth and corporate profits increasing.”
If neither are headed in the right direction, he said, then that’s going to be “bad news” for markets.
