Toronto man who played Hitler speech outside home charged with harassment
Toronto police say a man has been charged following an investigation into a suspected hate-motivated criminal harassment case.
In a release, police say that between Feb. 28 and March 6, the accused engaged in harassing conduct targeting a complainant in the area of Eglinton Avenue East and Mount Pleasant Road.
The UK’s collapse to Islam is accelerating
News broke the other day that Winston Churchill’s image will be removed from the United Kingdom’s banknotes. (American Thinker’s Andrea Widburg did a splendid job covering that and all its implications here.)
Evidently flora and fauna are less “controversial” so we will see flowers and hedgehogs on their currency instead. That’ll work until the institutional left finds something objectionable about flowers and hedgehogs, but here we are.
Of course, any nation is free to redesign its currency at will, but this choice is consistent with the U.K.’s recent string of decisions to willingly, even lustily accelerate their own civilizational erasure.
Transparency watchdog blasts ‘shocking’ Ontario plan to hide premier cellphone records
Ontario’s transparency watchdog says the Ford government’s planned overhaul of freedom of information laws is a “shocking” proposal designed to hide the premier’s cellphone records from the public.
New policy announced by the government on Friday morning will retroactively block the release of communications from the premier, government ministers, parliamentary assistants or their staff through access to information requests.
The Government has the powers to crack down on Islamic extremism – so why the pretence it hasn’t?
THIS week, both the Home Secretary and the Education Secretary announced crackdowns on pro-Iran extremism.
The measures unveiled by Shabana Mahmood and Bridget Phillipson are fair but belated and disingenuous.
LILLEY: Mark Carney’s silence after Iran fired missiles at Canadian military personnel unacceptable
Iran fired missiles at a military base housing members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Carney government said nothing for almost two weeks.
When they finally did say something it was only because Montreal newspaper La Presse had reported on the matter.
Can the Oscars leave its woke era behind?
This year’s Oscars feel oddly bloodless. Not because there are no good films in the race, but because the ceremony increasingly resembles a formality. As far as the acting awards go, Michael B Jordan looks like a well-deserved shoo-in for best actor, and Jessie Buckley seems nailed on for best actress. Even more contested categories like Best Picture feel like a foregone conclusion. We all suspect that One Battle After Another is going to sweep up the awards. There is no sense that there is a genuine competition going on here.
Michael Higgins: Mark Carney’s 7 biggest rookie mistakes
Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to enjoy an extended honeymoon with certain segments of the public with his popularity at near-record highs.
This, despite having made some glaringly rookie mistakes since taking office a year ago.
I’m a Muslim woman who escaped Islamic radicals in Iraq. Now I see an even more terrifying threat growing in America
When news broke Thursday of the synagogue attack in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, the pattern felt grimly familiar: Another Jewish house of worship, another act of violence.
As I watched the media reports and anxiously waited for casualty numbers, it was clear that despite the different time and different place, the fundamentalist ideology that I grew up with in the Middle East has now taken hold in Middle America.
Antisemitism is rising across the West, with hatred that once lingered along the margins now appearing openly. Jewish communities feel its impact daily, from increased security at synagogues to harassment on college campuses and families hesitating to display their Jewish identity in public.
A tyrant is dead and a region is in flames. One Iranian Canadian says celebration is in order — another says not so fast
The missiles that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei set off celebrations in the streets of Tehran, Toronto and other Canadian cities. But not everyone was cheering. As U.S. and Israeli strikes dismantle Iran’s military infrastructure and end the reign of a cleric who ruled with an iron fist for more than three decades, the Iranian-Canadian community is split between relief and rage.
Most Iranian-Canadians agree the Islamic Republic was a repressive regime that terrorized its own people. But they sharply disagree on whether the strikes were justified, whether they will ultimately help ordinary Iranians and what Canada’s response should be.
Shermineh Esmati-Novak, CEO and founder of NOVASHER Ventures, helped organize a Toronto rally celebrating the strikes. She says the attack represents an overdue reckoning. Samira Mohyeddin, journalist and founder of On the Line Media, calls it an illegal war paid for with civilian lives.
Samira Mohyeddin? The Star will platform any rabid “progressive” lunatic.
Samira Mohyeddin —aka the Butch
Of Tehran — who once tried to claim I was homophobic for criticizing her ties with Hamas, tries a new tactic! I hate myself because I support the only democracy in the Mideast!

40% of New UK Homes Could House Migrants by 2030
New analysis from the Conservative Party warns that nearly four in ten newly built homes in the UK by 2030 may be required to accommodate incoming migrants. Drawing on projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the report estimates that net migration between 2026 and 2030 will reach almost 1.2 million people, creating demand for roughly 500,000 additional homes.
The OBR projects that around 1.34 million new homes will be delivered over the same period, meaning that 37.1% of all housing could be allocated to new arrivals, with the proportion rising to nearly 40% by 2030.
Don Cherry should not receive Order of Canada, say some Quebec Conservatives
Opposition is mounting among Quebec’s federal Conservatives to their own party’s push to award the Order of Canada to controversial hockey commentator Don Cherry.
In a social media post late Thursday, the party’s Quebec lieutenant Pierre Paul-Hus said he believes appointing Cherry would be “a bad idea” given his “unacceptable remarks toward the Quebec nation and francophones.”
The Order of Canada is awarded in recognition of exceptional achievements, extraordinary contributions to the nation or remarkable dedication to a community.
