PM Trudeau, other leaders condemn white supremacy in wake of Trump's refusal to do so ctvnews.ca/politics/…
> "The Prime Minister has condemned and will continue to condemn right-wing extremism, white supremacy and racism in all its forms," read a statement from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office, sent to CTVNews.ca Wednesday.
> **Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole** echoed the clear condemnation of white supremacy.
> "I categorically condemn white supremacy and all forms of hate. In the military, I served all Canadians. Now as Leader, I continue to serve all Canadians," he said in a statement sent to CTVNews.ca.

> The far-right group Trump refused to condemn was first founded in Canada and has since taken root in the United States — which is something Interim Green Party Leader Jo-Ann Roberts made a point to mention in the statement she sent to CTVNews.ca.
> "Canada is not immune to this kind of hate and we must urgently examine and combat the rise of violent hate groups within our own borders," Roberts said.
> "Canadian leaders have a responsibility to condemn hate, bigotry and white supremacy and, as Interim Leader of the Green Party of Canada, I do so unequivocally."

> Meanwhile, some other party leaders took aim at Trump directly. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh blasted the U.S. president during a Wednesday press conference.
> "He was so dismissive about the idea of white supremacy, something that should be obvious that yes, it's a massive problem and it divides people and it hurts people," Singh said.
> "The fact that he couldn't say that and on top of that, he effectively endorsed a right wing, violent group…is appalling. His behaviour's appalling."

> A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration not to release a report by the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, finding that the group ― comprised entirely of current and former members of law enforcement ― had been “far from transparent.”
> Senior U.S. District Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, issued a 45-page ruling finding that commission ― which President Donald Trump announced with fanfare at a police conference last year ― had violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which requires that committees be “fairly balanced” in the viewpoints represented.
> Pope Francis refused to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week because the Catholic leader doesn't want to be used for political purposes amid the U.S. election campaign, a senior Vatican official said Wednesday.
> Asked by Italian news agency ANSA if the organization of the event amounted to an exploitation of the pope in the run-up to the election, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Vatican’s secretary for relations with states, said: "Yes, that is precisely why the pope will not meet American Secretary of State Mike Pompeo."

> As a horse-drawn carriage took Floyd’s body to its final resting place in Pearland’s Houston Memorial Gardens cemetery, planning records show that at least six “sniper teams” were in place on rooftops and authorized to open fire if the situation spiraled out of control. The records, labeled highly confidential, also state that an FBI surveillance aircraft was flown over the burial, and that “overwatch units” were sent to monitor the crowd for violent “agitators.”

> Burkman, an Arlington, Virginia resident, and Wohl, a Los Angeles, California resident, allegedly attempted to discourage voters from participating in the general election by creating and funding a robocall targeted at certain urban areas, including Detroit. The calls were made in late August and went out to nearly 12,000 residents with phone numbers from the 313 area code.
> The caller, who claims to be associated with an organization founded by Burkman and Wohl, falsely tells people that mail-in voting, in particular, will allow personal information to become part of a special database used by police to track down old warrants and by credit card companies to collect outstanding debts. The caller also deceptively claims the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will use the information to track people for mandatory vaccines. However, none of that is true.
