Migrant Avoids Deportation Because Rape of Swedish Girl Didn’t Last Long Enough

The headline seems ridiculous, but it is true.

After arriving in Sweden as an asylum seeker when he was a minor, Eritrean migrant Yazied Mohamed raped Meya Åberg in September last year, when she was just 16 years old, while she was on her way back home from work.

According to the Court of Appeal for Upper Norrland, this attack was not “extremely serious”—and so does not warrant deportation—because of its “duration.” This prompted commentator Ian Miles Cheong to note that “the suffering of a 16 year old is now measured in minutes”—a sign of “how far the system has fallen.”

Vatican’s Secretary of State under fire for describing Islamic attacks against Christians in Nigeria as a ‘social conflict.’

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin is under fire for remarks that downplay the terror attacks that Christians in Nigeria have been suffering at the hands of Islamic extremists for decades.

Parolin was the keynote speaker for an event held at the Vatican on Tuesday. The gathering focused on the recently released 2025 Religious Freedom Report published by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).

ACN surveyed 196 countries for its report. It found that just under two-thirds of the world’s population live in countries with “serious or very serious violations of religious freedom.” Twenty-four countries, including Nigeria, received the “worst” category in its report: persecution.

There is a constituency in the Conservative Party for Poilievre’s antics, which is really the problem

The SNC-Lavalin affair was the worst corruption scandal in federal politics since the sponsorship scandal – maybe since the Pacific Scandal. If it did not involve material gain for any of the participants, it certainly involved flagrant abuse of power, by officials from the prime minister on down.

The facts, for those needing a refresher: Justin Trudeau and senior officials in his government pressured then-attorney-general, Jody Wilson-Raybould – strenuously, repeatedly, and for many months – to interfere in a criminal prosecution on behalf of a Liberal-connected engineering firm, SNC-Lavalin (now called AtkinsRéalis), for explicitly partisan reasons. When she refused, she was fired. When at length she went public, they spent months more stonewalling, covering up, deflecting and smearing her reputation.


I wonder if Coyne has ever voted conservative? Seriously.
