John Sikkema: Hamilton, where billboards can’t question transgender children

Andrea Horwath’s Hate Crime

On Aug. 8, Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath saw a billboard she didn’t like. So she lifted her hand and she gave a command. And the billboard came down that same day.

“This afternoon, my office was made aware of a transphobic ad on a billboard along the Linc,” Horwath announced on social media, referring to the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway. The post didn’t mention what the advertisement said, or what it was about.

Kneecap keeps Canadian tour dates, cancels U.S. shows due to court hearing

The Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, whose performance at Coachella earlier this year sparked controversy for projected messages against the Israeli government’s war in Gaza, is cancelling 15 of its shows in the United States but says four scheduled shows in Vancouver and Toronto will go on.

In an Instagram post this week, the group announced it was cancelling the U.S. shows due to Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh’s upcoming court hearing in London scheduled for Sept. 26.

Ó Hannaidh is a rapper and group co-founder who performs under the name Mo Chara. He faces terrorism charges in the United Kingdom after videos emerged appearing to show him wearing a Hezbollah flag over his head. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are designated terror groups in Britain and Canada.

Women and children face deportation under Reform migrant plan

Women and children would be deported under Reform UK’s plans to remove 600,000 illegal migrants within five years, Nigel Farage has said.

Emergency powers would be passed to stop all small boat arrivals within days of a Reform-led government coming to power, he said, and there would be a “carrot and stick approach” to encourage people to leave, followed by forcible detentions and removals.

Farage raised the prospect that children born in the UK to parents who arrived illegally could also be deported, but added such a move would be “complex”.


I’ll believe it when I see it.

For Media Hypocrites, Burning The US Flag Is Speech But Touching The Rainbow One Is ‘Hate’

On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to use existing laws to prosecute American flag desecration.

The order instructs agencies to “prioritize the enforcement to the fullest extent possible of our Nation’s criminal and civil laws against acts of American Flag desecration that violate applicable, content-neutral laws, while causing harm unrelated to expression, consistent with the First Amendment.”

To be clear, the order does not make flag burning itself illegal. It makes no new laws.

Canada on track to build far fewer homes than needed to meet housing gap

While Canada is on track to build 2.5 million new homes by 2035, it will not be nearly enough to close the housing gap and meet demand, a new report by the Parliamentary Budget Office on Tuesday said.

According to PBO’s projections, those 2.5 million new homes will still be 690,000 homes short of the 3.2 million new homes that Canada would need to meet its housing demand over the next 10 years.


We need more unskilled labour from culturally incompatible 3rd World crap holes to solve the housing crisis!
