A gay rights/LGBT parade was abruptly cancelled based on the credible risk of an extremist attack, it has been revealed. Security authorities identified a “concrete threat” just one hour before the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade in Gelsenkirchen, scheduled for May 17th last year, was set to begin—forcing approximately 600 registered participants to abandon the march.
CALGARY — India’s High Commissioner to Canada stated because of Canada and India’s “complimentary economies,” Canada should be keen to welcome 60 million more Indians into the country.
In an interview with CBC News on Saturday, Commissioner Dinesh K. Patnaik, echoed sentiments of a mutually beneficial economic strategy, which he believes includes a large increase of Indian immigrants.

Bureaucrats at Metrolinx torched nearly $100 million on two train stations unlikely to ever be built.
Unfortunately, wasting enormous sums of money is par for the course for the Greater Toronto Area’s transit agency.
In cities across the West, the pavement has become a stage for a specific, assertive religious claim.
On Feb. 20, Times Square was filled with men kneeling shoulder to shoulder on prayer rugs for Ramadan’s nightly Taraweeh prayers. New York City’s most famous intersection, a place meant for commerce and tourism, had become a place for religious ritual, as it has since 2022.
On the morning of Saturday, Feb. 28, we all awoke to an alarming development.
Addressing the world, the president of the United States revealed that joint military forces of the United States and Israel had begun a coordinated strike against the 47-year-old Islamic regime in Iran. In measured tones, President Trump explained that the operation had been launched in response to a clear and present danger posed by Iran’s continued nuclear ambitions and the regime’s longstanding support for terrorism against the West.
So the race everyone said was too close to call wasn’t so close after all. The Green Party’s Hannah Spencer has won the Gorton and Denton by-election with 14,980 votes, nearly 41 per cent of all those cast in the Greater Manchester seat. Meanwhile, Reform UK has pushed a flailing Labour Party into third place, taking 10,578 votes to Labour’s 9,364. That noise you can hear in the background is blood vessels bursting in Downing Street.
Gas prices inched up a few cents overnight in Canada as the North American oil market reacts to escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran Saturday that threatens to destabilize the rest of the region.
If you’re filling up a gas tank this week, higher gas prices could last as long as the conflict continues to disrupt oil tankers from accessing the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest and most important naval shipping routes, according to experts.
AT THIS year’s Bafta awards, a moment of pure neurological chaos unfolded. John Davidson, the Tourette syndrome campaigner and subject of the film I Swear, let out an involuntary shout of the N-word while the black actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award. Davidson has coprolalia, a severe form of the disorder that forces out taboo words without warning or consent. He did not choose it. He did not mean it. Yet the backlash was swift, vicious and revealing.
Did the feds cede property rights to the Musqueam King? How will the Queen react?
Musqueam sign Aboriginal rights deals with federal government
The federal government said private lands are not affected but did not say whether there was money attached to the agreements
Others contest the government’s private lands claim.

But the private lands claim is again denied in this article…
What we know about Ottawa’s land rights deal with the Musqueam First Nation
What does this mean for B.C. property owners?
Based on the information in the press release, the new arrangement between Ottawa and the Musqueam does not impede on private property ownership in the region.
Again the feds deny that private property will be affected.
Feds release Musqueam title agreements covering much of greater Vancouver
OTTAWA – The federal government has released details of recent agreements with the Musqueam First Nation recognizing Aboriginal title over an area potentially covering much of Greater Vancouver, but it says the agreements do not have any effect on privately owned land.

Myself? If the Feds speak with forked tongue I’m aligning with the Queen because she dresses in a more dignified manner.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei left behind a corrupt and repressive legacy, following his assassination on February 28.
Before his death, he was the longest-serving ruler in the Middle East, having taken power in 1989 following the death of his mentor Ruhollah Khomeini.
His 36 years and eight months leading Iran resulted in the mass repression of women, the slaughter of civilians and the funding of terror groups including Hamas and Hezbollah.
Mark Carney wasted no time in backing U.S. military action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. It was a quick decision to pick a side but also to pick from a menu.
It is hard to claim that preventing Iran from getting the bomb is the cause for this war.
It’s particularly hard because U.S. President Donald Trump provided a whole menu of justifications in the eight-minute video he released Saturday – from Iran’s nuclear-weapons program to its decades of sponsorship of terror – but really made his war about regime change in Iran.
Canada has no skin in the game so it’s easy to feign support. But Carney had better hope a Canadian sleeper cell doesn’t seek vengeance stateside.
No pleasure cruise!

The 2025 Veiligheidsmonitor survey of the Dutch central statistical office (CBS) reveals a troubling shift in the Netherlands as 37% of respondents now report feeling unsafe at least occasionally, a rise from 33% in 2019. This increase marks the end of a 20-year downward trend in perceived unsafety. Young women aged 15 to 25 are disproportionately affected, with 60% reporting feeling unsafe at times—more than double the 27% seen in their male peers.
An Alberta judge has sentenced a transgender parent to five years in prison for stabbing his two children, a term that falls on the higher end of the scale for such offences.
Alice Michael Attwood received the sentence in provincial court. The Crown had been seeking five and a half years, while the defence argued for a term of three to four years.
