Electrician turned anti-Ulez activist is jailed for 15 years for blowing up roadside camera with homemade bomb

A vigilante anti-Ulez activist who despised Sadiq Khan has been jailed after blowing up a roadside camera with a homemade bomb which sparked a counter-terror investigation.

Electrician Kevin Rees’s low-sophistication device was still powerful enough to send shrapnel flying for more than 100m, damaging a child’s bedroom window and crashing into cars nearby.

Rees, 63, was jailed for 15 years after being found guilty of causing an explosion to endanger life following a trial.

Higher immigration is a looming disaster

Higher immigration is a looming disaster

Based on their record, Canadians should get very nervous whenever the federal Liberals start talking about increasing Canada’s immigration levels, again.

Particularly so when Prime Minister Mark Carney casually signals the Liberals are about to do it not in Parliament, but in an interview with the New York Times .

Back when he was running for Liberal leader, Carney said excessive immigration under his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, was one of the reasons the Canadian economy was in bad shape before U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff war.


All Carney wants is to depress wages and falsify the GDP.

The great negotiator has served up a decrepit economy.

What a leaked Canada-EU summit document reveals about Mark Carney’s turn to Europe

What a leaked Canada-EU summit document reveals about Mark Carney’s turn to Europe

OTTAWA — A newly revealed leaders’ statement pre-written for next month’s Canada-EU summit does not use “associate member” for the escalating love affair between the Carney government and the European Union.

That term, floated by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Prime Minister Mark Carney‘s apparent surprise two weeks ago in Strasbourg, is nowhere to be seen in the proposed declaration, labelled “as received from Canada,” that was circulated to EU ambassadors by the European secretariat in charge of talks.

Obtained by Politico’s Brussels-based reporters and published Wednesday, the Sept. 22 document reveals that the EU chief and the Canadian prime minister plan instead to formally launch a “Canada-EU Alliance for the Future” when the summit concludes on Oct. 30.

Baltimore rock opera society fires white boss for wearing cornrow hairstyle at Burning Man

A Baltimore opera group’s white executive director claims she was fired after she was pictured wearing cornrows at Burning Man.

Public relations specialist Kelly Carnes told the Baltimore Banner on Thursday that she had been sacked from her new job at the Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS) after her hairstyle supposedly caused concerns over cultural appropriation.

Carnes said she was sporting the ‘protective style’ hair, which is usually associated with black culture, on her annual trip to the Nevada festival.

Court records show Ontario’s ‘serious concerns’ about three career colleges

Court records show Ontario’s ‘serious concerns’ about three career colleges

TORONTO — Ontario government officials who inspected three career colleges found evidence suggesting third parties were completing the coursework — sometimes entire courses in one day — and a few students who couldn’t name their school or program, they alleged in reports filed in court.

Inspection reports for three Academy of Learning locations are among hundreds of pages of documents that make up the record in a court challenge as the schools seek to overturn a government decision that cut off their ability to offer financial aid.

Poll of 10,000 Canadians finds half consider US to be an adversary and 45% feel worse off today than a year ago

Poll of 10,000 Canadians finds half consider US to be an adversary and 45% feel worse off today than a year ago

Canadians are feeling relatively “jaunty” in the face of a trade war with a country they now view as an adversary and no friend, even while saying they feel worse off than they did a year ago, according to a new poll of more than 10,000 Canadian adults.

Most believe Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government are best suited to handle trade negotiations and American designs on Canada, and most voters overall feel the Liberals are making headway and “doing some good things” — or they’re at least giving them the benefit of the doubt that they will.

Fires, fury and hundreds of arrests as France gripped by student protests

Fires, fury and hundreds of arrests as France gripped by student protests

As dozens of school pupils sat on top of a pile of wheelie bins blocking a high school entrance in north-eastern Paris, Sophia, 17, was on the frontline of the barricade, when she would normally have been attending Spanish class.

“We hope this grows into a massive youth protest movement,” said the final year baccalaureate student at Paris’s Lycée Voltaire, who did not want her real name published. She was on her second day of blocking the school entrance along with hundreds of others, ensuring all lessons were cancelled. “We just want to be listened to by the government. We’d rather stand here doing this than have to learn in poor conditions. It’s the only way to make ourselves heard.”

The French left and its Islamist allies are behind this.

‘Black Labs Matter’: How Labour dragged Britain’s favourite dog into the culture wars

They have started to be called the “Furred Reich”, and not without good reason. Black labradors, that most innocent-looking creature, renowned until now for their loyalty, retrieval skills and ability to eat 17 packets of supermarket ham – packaging and all – in eight seconds, are in fact panting surrogates for a creeping fascist ideology.
