“Reform Little Criminals, Rather Than Whitewash Big Ones, Says Cleric,” Kingston Whig-Standard. October 31, 1932. Page 14. ---- HAMILTON, Oct. 31 — "We're due for a revolution if the fountains of justice become poisoned. Can’t we show a desire to reform the little criminals rather than white-wash the big ones?" asked Rev S. Banks Nelson, Toronto, in attacking privileges alleged to have been accorded broker convicts prior to the recent riots at Kingston Penitentiary.

“The public will demand that courts make a distinction between a stolen drink during a midnight ride in a car and a mid-day steal in a stock broker’s office,” he said.

paramount and spyglass are trying so hard right now to save face because jenna ortega rightfully left the scream franchise after they fired melissa for supprting palestine. nobody is dumb enough to believe the excuse that it’s a scheduling conflict hours after rumors she was trying to get out of her contract cause she was pissed. i’m very thankful that jenna is risking her career and using her position to do the right thing. she’s been outspoken about palestine for years now. i hope this begins a trend of zionist losing money for their support and complacency with an active genocide

Ah, yes. We must all aspire to run an international drug cartel.

A new survey conducted by Research Co. found that the majority of Canadians support tying speeding tickets to income, otherwise known as “progressive punishment.”

According to the survey published on Friday, 65 per cent of Canadians surveyed endorse implementing progressive punishment for speeding tickets in their city. In addition24 per cent of respondents opposed the concept while 11 per cent are undecided.

Progressive punishment system has been implemented in some European countries such as Finland and Switzerland. Authorities in Finland set the fines on the basis of disposable income of the offending driver and how much speed the offending driver went over the posted limit. [...]

“TWO BROKERS ARE NOW FREE,” Kingston Whig-Standard. June 9, 1932. Page 1. --- Shutt and Hepplestone Released From Collins Bay Penitentiary ----- TORONTO June 9 — W. T. A. Shutt and James Hepplestone, members of the former brokerage firm of W. A. Moysey and Company here, are no longer in custody at Collins Bay penitentiary, according to the Financial Post.

Shutt and Hepplestone were sentenced to two and a half years and three years  respectively in penitentiary in October 1930, when they pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charges brought against a number of prominent brokers at that time. They were the only brokers who did not fight the case through the courts and had thus served four or five months when the others lost their appeals. 

Release of the men was discovered by litigants who are suing the Moysev Company, Shutt and Hepplestone in the civil courts and were anxious to have them produced to give evidence. They applied to prison authorities, who are said to have announced the release.

OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OTTAWA, June 9 — Official confirmation was made here today of the report that W. T. A. Shutt and James Hepplestone, members of the former brokerage firm of W. A. Moysey and Company, have been released from penitentiary.

The two brokers had served more than half their terms of incarceration. An application for clemency was made and granted. The official practice is not to make any statement on the release of men who are released from custody following the serving of time in custody.

Ben Gurion Canal Project

The Ben Gurion Canal Project[citation needed] is a proposed canal project through the state of Israel. It would connect the Gulf of Aqaba to the Mediterranean Sea.[1][2][better source needed] David Ben Gurion, for whom it would be named, is considered the Founding Father of Israel and was the first Prime Minister of Israel.

The canal would rival the Suez Canal, which runs through Egypt and has had many disturbances in its history, such as the Israeli blockage through the Suez Canal and Straits of Tiran, Closure of the Suez Canal (1956–1957), Closure of the Suez Canal (1967–1975), and the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction.[1] It would be slightly more than 50% longer than the 120.1 mi (193.3 km) Suez Canal, at around 182 mi (292.9 km).[2]

Canada/US' quiet motive for backing Israel's genocide: the Ben Gurion Canal

from November 14, 2023 The United States, Israel, Canada and their allies are fiercely determined not to permit a ceasefire, considering their aligned interests. Their deliberate and joint offensive in the Gaza Strip is a clear indication of a long-term strategic plan, characterized by continuous air and ground attacks. This collaboration, which has tragically led to the loss of over 10 000 Palestinian lives, including a significant number of children, is not just a coincidence. It is the result of a well-coordinated military strategy, driven by shared economic and geopolitical objectives among these nations.

me explaining how online works so y'all can be gay do crimes fuck corporate:

Business wants to flatten human-online engagement for business aims. This is the algorithm's prime function—not delivering you the content you want, when you want it.

So, the solution is to up the ante. Send backwash chaotic metrics. Do big loud gay throttle. You can literally choose to go against the online grain anytime you want.

Example: You love tea. OK. Identify indie tea brand that's super ethics. Put them on blast as hard possible online and in search. Get 5 friends (who get 5 friends) to do this. This helps them.

But also, bidnid ppl do competitive analysis. big shitty tea brand says "huh, why is trending?" big tea brand go "how can i do that. wait."

and if you picked the right indie tea brand, only logical answer for bigboi is "consumer like ethical tea. i...oops." and when big brand tries to only LOOK like tiny tea brand, you call bullshit no buy

you do not give social media signals to big bad mean tea brand. you screencap if you gotta and use asterisk or whatever. all the while, applying pressure to uplift cool indie tea brand and cool little guys like them.

this is legit how online commerce and digital analytics works.

1 person uplifting cool indie ethical brand becomes 2. then 10. then 100. then 1000. then 100,000 until big bidnid fucks have to go "and i oop." if they want market share, they will have to evolve or you will ignore them like an annoying bug.

pls prove to me that normies are able to grasp what im saying: you have all the power. you're just not using it.

Tesla, plus French and German companies, all linked to massive nickel mining plans

A unique uncontacted tribe could be wiped out by a massive Indonesian project to produce nickel for electric car batteries.

A vast mining scheme on the island of Halmahera is part of Indonesia’s plan to become a major producer of electric car batteries – a plan into which Tesla and other companies are pouring billions of dollars.

But nickel mining is set to destroy vast areas of the forested interior of Halmahera. These forests are inhabited by 300-500 uncontacted members of the Hongana Manyawa tribe. If mining goes ahead as planned, they will not survive the destruction.

The Hongana Manyawa – which means ‘People of the Forest’ in their own language - are one of the last nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes in Indonesia.

They now face the threat of seeing their land, and everything they need to survive, destroyed by corporations rushing to provide a supposedly ‘sustainable’ lifestyle to people thousands of miles away.
