The German Criminal Code’s controversial Section 188, which prohibits social media users from insulting or even criticizing politicians online, has become a hot topic in Germany again after a Facebook user was fined for over €2,000 for calling Chancellor Merz a “liar.”
Pollster INSA conducted a country-wide survey to discover what Germans actually think about the law, and found widespread opposition.
OTTAWA — Liberal MP Yvan Baker says his proposal to create a Somali Heritage Month in Canada is intended to recognize contributions made by immigrant communities, responding to criticism that emerged after the bill was introduced in Parliament.
Baker’s Bill C-283, which received first reading this week, would designate July as Somali Heritage Month.
OTTAWA — Canada’s former top general, Wayne Eyre, advised Canadians against burning bridges with their American neighbours, warning that actions like booing national anthems at hockey games can turn U.S. friends into foes.
While acknowledging that Canada’s relationship with the U.S. has changed and will likely never go back to “where it was or where we thought it was,” Eyre told attendees of a University of Ottawa event last week that the relationship with the Americans remains crucial.
In recent days, while Britons have been in an uproar over the December 3 butchery of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton by a knife-wielding Sikh, who was convicted of the murder on May 28, many Norwegians have been worked up over a similar crime. Late on the evening of May 17 – which in Norway is Constitution Day, a festive occasion celebrated around the country with parades and parties – an 18-year old boy, as yet unnamed by authorities, was brutally beaten by four individuals, strangers to him, who were aged between 15 and 17. Unlike Henry Nowak, the victim in Bergen survived the assault, which was completely unprovoked. At the time of the incident, he was dressed in a one-piece blue outfit that identified him as a “russ,” a person who is about to graduate, or who has just graduated, from secondary school. By all accounts he did nothing to provoke the attack, which was filmed by one of two witnesses who then shared the video on social media.
June 21 marks not only the summer solstice, but in Canada it’s also National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day that celebrates the resilience of the Arctic’s original inhabitants.
Yet, celebration without sovereignty seems in many ways premature and incomplete. True self-determination for Inuit still requires a profound political transformation.
We at VDARE always followed the lead of our old friend Paul Craig Roberts in believing that the bank fraud legislation that Congress cooked up in 1989–90, supposedly because of the War on Drugs and subsequently enhanced during the War on Terror, is a major infringement of liberty and a big step toward an American police state.
I’M GOING to keep this simple. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all travel to Sudan. FCDO ‘advises against all travel to Sudan because of the ongoing military conflict in Khartoum and other parts of the country. This does not include the Hala’ib Triangle and the Bir Tawil Trapezoid where FCDO advises against all but essential travel.’
A water cannon has been deployed to disperse a large crowd after a second night of disorder in Northern Ireland following the Belfast knife attack.
Riot police came under sustained attack from a group throwing bricks, bottles and pieces of wood at a major roundabout to the north-west of Belfast.
Additional officers were drafted in but Wednesday’s disorder was not on the same scale as Tuesday’s violence.
Water cannon turned on protesters in Northern Ireland.
A shame they couldn’t have kept the invaders out with it who are trying to behead Brits! pic.twitter.com/fgmbW9LTnN

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Doug Ford is not known for playing nice with Donald Trump. The Ontario premier has repeatedly condemned the president’s 51st state rhetoric and boldly removed American booze exports from their biggest market: Ontario’s shelves.
It was also notably Ford’s Ronald Reagan ad that reportedly led to the breakdown in U.S.-Canada trade talks last year.
Wearing England badges during the World Cup could intimidate detained migrants, immigration officers have been told.
The country is set to be gripped by football fever this month as the Three Lions get ready to kick off their North America campaign against Croatia on June 17.
For many this will involve dusting off St George’s flags and England badges to show their support for Thomas Tuchel’s charges.
On May 17, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that “Pride is a promise — that every Canadian can live safely, openly, and proudly as themselves.”
Unfortunately, despite the fact that Mark Carney has eagerly mouthed a glib lip-service to the human rights of homosexuals and the “LGBTQ+” community, it is evident that his promise of personal equality does not extend to all Canadians.
he relentless growth of multiculturalism across twenty-first-century Europe has had many unexpected consequences—one of the most unexpected being the sudden explosion in belief in genies.
Known in Arabic as ‘djinn’ (singular = djinni), genies are repeatedly mentioned in the Quran and are a required element of belief for all good Muslims. This explains how, last month, a case was able to come before a British court in which a London imam was convicted for the crime, hitherto wholly alien to UK shores, of pretending to be a genie, thereby tricking a series of underage girls into having illegal sex with him in the back of his car.
OTTAWA — Moscow is calling Canada a “warmonger” for signing a drone-production deal with Ukraine and is vowing to publish the address of a Canadian company working with Kyiv.
Two weeks ago, Ottawa announced a corporate partnership between Canadian and Ukrainian drone makers that could see drones made in Canada deployed to Ukraine’s front line.
The deal involves Ukrainian company Airlogix and Canadian drone maker Sentinel R&D, which is based in Hamilton, Ont.
I blame Grifty!
Bill Gates has claimed that Jeffrey Epstein used his knowledge of the Microsoft founder’s extramarital affairs as “leverage” against him.
The tech billionaire told US Congress members on Wednesday that Epstein “was working to use information about my infidelities… to pressure me”.
Senior US politicians suggested it was evidence that Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, blackmailed powerful figures in his orbit to his advantage.
Mr Gates also reportedly admitted to seeking donations from Epstein for his global health organisation despite knowledge of the paedophile’s sex crimes.
It follows awkward revelations about Mr Gates’s close relationship with the registered sex offender disclosed in the Epstein files, which the US department of justice began publishing in December.
On May 27, 2021, the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation announced the supposed discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at a Native American residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Specifically, Chief Rosanne Casimir claimed the discovery of the “remains of 215 children.”
Canada convulsed in horror. Flags were lowered to half-mast for five months straight. One First Nation group after another came forward claiming they had discovered hundreds more unmarked graves. At one site in Saskatchewan where it was claimed 751 children had been found buried, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau placed a teddy bear in memorial of the children. The government threw $320 million into a “Residential Schools Missing Children Community Support Fund.”
Canada’s residential school hoax is making us world famous.
