Britain’s Gorton and Denton by-election on Feb. 26 was more than just a local upset. It gave a glimpse into demographic changes that could shape U.S. politics.
The Green Party’s Hannah Spencer won with 41% and 14,980 votes, turning this Labour stronghold into the Greens’ first northern seat. Reform UK came second with 29% of the vote, and Labour finished third with 25%.
Turnout was low at 48%.
A Toronto Police constable has been suspended following an arrest by Peel Regional Police on charges of assault and sexual assault.
“Farhan Ali, 39, has been arrested and charged” with “three counts of sexual assault, three counts of assault and four counts of mischief,” Peel cops said.
Being a sex fiend is actually a muslim religious thing.
Ministers’ introduction of an official definition of anti-Muslim hostility risks worsening community tensions by allowing Islamists to “undermine our values”, the government’s former anti-extremism tsar has warned.
Lord Walney told The Times he was “deeply concerned” about the definition, unveiled on Monday as part of the government’s social cohesion strategy, which he said could be used by extremists to “deflect scrutiny from their quest to undermine our values and intimidate fellow Muslims”.
The New York City bomb suspects were radicalized by the Islamic State and recently returned from visits to the Middle East, it has emerged.
Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, were arrested Saturday after a homemade ‘Mother of Satan’ bomb was thrown outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s house during an anti-Islam protest.
The leaders of several Jewish organizations in the Toronto area are calling for urgent action after three synagogues were hit by gunfire in the past week.
“Canada is at a crossroads,” said Noah Shack, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA). “We’re not going anywhere, and we need every Canadian of conscience to stand up with us for our fundamental Canadian values so that we can ensure that the Canada, the Ontario, and the city of Toronto that we want to see in the future comes to fruition.”
I honestly, HONESTLY thought this was AI at first.
But besides the thousand-yard stares, the utter lack of emotion (not anger, not sadness, just deadness), the wooden reading of the TELEPROMPTER, the terribly awkward posture, & the body language that screams “I KNOW this video… pic.twitter.com/oSB7FN092Q

A pair of apparent Islamic terrorists shouted “Allahu Akbar” after they lit and threw devices clad in black tape toward a group of Christians staging an anti-Islam protest outside of Muslim race-communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mansion.

The greatest threat to Canadians emerging from the war in Iran is domestic terrorism.
While all Canadians are vulnerable given that Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of global terrorism, two groups are the most vulnerable.
MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition. The All In host essentially declared that the U.S. is not differentiating between civilians and combatants, while former colleague Mehdi Hasan accused the crew of USS Charlotte of being worse than Nazis after the torpedoing of the Iranian frigate Dena.
The Restoring the West Manifesto
I spent the first part of my life living under oppression. I know what it means to be silenced, to have your freedom stolen, to watch a civilization reject the very values that make human flourishing possible.
I also know what it means to be… pic.twitter.com/cUA78U1ofW

A convicted terrorist and key lieutenant of hate preacher Anjem Choudary has been using social media to demand the imposition of sharia in Britain.
Mizanur Rahman, who was jailed alongside Choudary in 2016 for expressing support for the banned Islamic State group, has been exploiting YouTube and TikTok to preach radical Islam and claims sharia – the Islamic legal and ethical system – would eradicate crime and save the NHS.
In one video, Rahman, who was Choudary’s right-hand man, criticises the Muslim mayors of London and New York for failing to introduce sharia in their respective cities.
Britain is to get a new ‘anti-Muslim hostility tsar’ under plans to be outlined by the government on Monday, which will also include a new definition of Islamophobia.
The Spectator has been leaked a draft copy of Protecting What Matters, a document outlining Labour’s new cohesion strategy which is to be unveiled in a cross government push next week. The 47-page paper features a crackdown on extremism and names Islamists as the biggest threat to community cohesion. It also outlines fresh demands that new arrivals in Britain seek to integrate and speak good English, described as a ‘fundamental basis for participating in society and an expectation of those who wish to call the UK home’. It states: ‘Those who come here must make a genuine effort to integrate into and engage with our shared way of life.’ The last census found that over a million people could not speak English well or at all.
The Greater Toronto Area has been shaken to its core after gunshots were fired into two more synagogues.
Toronto Police and neighbouring York Regional Police were sharing information Saturday morning following two disturbing early morning Jewish synagogue shooting incidents in those jurisdictions.
The GTA shaken to its core because a couple of synagogues were shot up? No not really.
This is normal nowadays and barely cause for a raised eyebrow.
It is the inevitable result of an immigration policy every bit as criminal as the perps who shot up the synagogues.
It is time that those responsible for Canada’s nation destroying immigration policy are treated as the criminals they are.
Make no mistake: the importation of incompatible cultures is being done deliberately to undermine our society.
To his supporters, Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States. For our enemies, he is something far more intolerable: the de facto leader of Western civilization. He is nothing less than the obstacle to a civilizational transformation they have already advanced in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Ottawa.
This enemy has a name: the Red-Green alliance. It is the political covenant between the left and Islam. Its strength is precisely that it is not external. It votes. It holds our passports. It sits in our legislatures and city halls. It shouts down, as in the example of Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, our president’s State of the Union. This is the enemy within: a left who mobilizes blocs of Islamic voters whose only shared objective is the destruction of the West.
SO IT was an ‘important’ Ramadan moment on Wednesday or early Thursday morning. I don’t care about this. My position is that if people want to not eat during daylight hours because a psychopathic 7th century bandit and child rapist thought that was a good idea, or because imams subsequent to Muhammad have done so, it’s their primitive business and not a particular concern of mine.
But I don’t get a choice about whether I engage with this nonsense.
The economic reasoning is powerful, but it breaks down against reality.
I hate to disagree with my colleague, the great Roland Fryer—and doubly so when it comes to economics. Fryer’s work is consistently both stimulating and insightful, and his contributions to public policy substantially outstrip my own. I nevertheless feel obliged to comment on his recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, in which he uses sound economic reasoning to reach a conclusion I reject: that we should legalize and tax addictive drugs.
