Britain’s two-tier burqa ban

True to their word, Hampshire Police have wasted no time in cracking down on ‘masked’ protesters. In Portsmouth last weekend, a self-proclaimed ‘gender-fluid Muslim convert’ wearing a burqa was detained, arrested and charged for allegedly refusing to reveal his (or her, or their) identity at an anti-immigration rally. The individual is due to appear at the Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court today.

Adam Pankratz: Mark Carney’s elitist quest to turn us into Europeans

Adam Pankratz: Mark Carney’s elitist quest to turn us into Europeans

This weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported that Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing for associate membership with the European Union in an effort to diversify Canada away from the United States. Though, on Sunday evening Carney downplayed the story, and said he is seeking a “unique alliance” with the EU. It’s a convenient dodge in any case as both terms are undefined in any legal sense and Canadians deserve to know what the Prime Minister is actually up to.

Illegal immigrant freed by Biden executes woman after months of stalking her as a DoorDash driver

A California woman has been shot dead by a 22-year-old DoorDash worker who had been stalking her for months after he illegally entered the US in 2023.

Shalini Thakur, 38, was gunned down outside a Panera Bread in Sacramento as horrified witnesses watched on during the afternoon of September 8.

The suspect, Rohit Rohit, an illegal migrant from India who was allegedly released by the Biden administration, fled in a vehicle before fatally shooting himself, police said.

As Trump’s trade war grinds on, Canada needs to ensure national pride doesn’t become national hubris

As Trump’s trade war grinds on, Canada needs to ensure national pride doesn’t become national hubris

Reflecting on the political excitement over tariffs these past couple of weeks might lead one to conclude that someone holding the monkey’s paw had wished to see Canada reverse its Trudeau-era experiment with post-nationalism. We are witnessing a remarkable irruption of impassioned national sentiment in a formerly staid country.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, of course. Indeed, having a modicum of national pride is prerequisite to a country’s ongoing existence, and it was deeply foolish of Canada’s elites to make self-abasement a basic feature of our political rhetoric over the past decade.

Documentary: The ‘anti-Semitic rot’ at the heart of the NHS

A nurse was given a Nazi salute by an NHS colleague after he discovered that she was Jewish, an investigation has revealed.

The incident is one example of a catalogue of anti-Semitic abuse allegedly suffered by Jewish patients and workers in the health service.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism said its investigation, detailed in a new documentary, exposed “the anti-Semitic rot at the heart of our NHS”.

MORGAN: The knock on the door — is Canada becoming the UK?

MORGAN: The knock on the door — is Canada becoming the UK?

In the late 1980s, I had the opportunity as a young man to tour Guatemala, which was in the midst of a prolonged and terrible civil war. I had the good fortune in my youth to have been fairly well travelled, and trips to Mexico had shown me how well I had it as a kid growing up in Canada. In Guatemala, though, I got to see a different level of poverty and suffering in a nation where the government was the prime cause of it.

Meet the Influencers Boosting Zohran Mamdani’s Administration

Meet the Influencers Boosting Zohran Mamdani’s Administration

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has created an army of social-media influencers to help boost his administration, a recent exposé in the Columbia Journalism Review reveals. But while the mayor’s unorthodox media strategy has gotten scrutiny, not enough attention has been paid to the influencers themselves and their views.

Some in the mayor’s coterie are relatively innocuous. But others celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk, claim America runs “mass concentration camps,” and make apologies for terrorist attacks targeting synagogues.

The New AI Job-Displacement Target: Surgeons?

The New AI Job-Displacement Target: Surgeons?

Sometimes the reporting on artificial intelligence makes it sound as though its chief threat is to the jobs of assembly line workers, law library clerks, and, someday, maybe truck drivers. Those certainly are trends. You could say that AI’s “entry level job” was to displace entry-level workers. That probably has some truth if we are dealing with sheer numbers, but it should not imply that AI is merely advancing up the workplace ladder from the bottom rung.

My mum wasn’t terminally ill – she needed help… We had 48 hours to stop Canada’s assisted-dying system but failed and days later she was given a lethal injection

My mum wasn’t terminally ill – she needed help… We had 48 hours to stop Canada’s assisted-dying system but failed and days later she was given a lethal injection

Sisters Alicia and Christie Duncan were originally only granted 48 hours notice that their mother was going to be euthanised.

It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday – expedited due to her having qualified for Canada’s streamlined ‘Track 1’ pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable.
