Windsor Ramadan dinner and LGBT art event part of King’s diversity drive

A Ramadan meal and an LGBT+ history month lecture at Windsor Castle this year have been hailed as exemplifying the King’s “momentous” commitment to diversity.

The Royal Collection Trust – which oversees the upkeep of the royal palaces – said in its annual report, released on Tuesday, that “inclusion and diversity was a key priority this year” as it hosted a series of religious and LGBT+ celebrations.

For the first time in its 1,000-year history, Windsor Castle hosted an Open Iftar meal in its state apartments to mark the breaking of fast for Muslims during Ramadan. Last autumn, it hosted an inaugural Diwali Family Day including prayers from the head priest of the Slough Hindu Temple.

No we don’t …

We need an official policy prohibiting removal of at-risk trans and non-binary people to the U.S.

The Canadian refugee process is often praised for its fairness, efficiency and commitment to human rights. It is the main avenue for trans and non-binary people around the world to seek safety after fleeing persecution in their countries of nationality. But for trans and non-binary Americans who fear for their lives in the United States, the ability to access Canada’s refugee system is far less clear. So far, it seems, the Canadian government is less willing to acknowledge the threats facing trans and non-binary people throughout the U.S.

HANNAFORD: Now, just a minute on this ‘racist Alberta’ schtick

One should never dismiss out of hand the accusations one hears from time to time, that unkind Albertans make racist remarks to, or in the hearing of, immigrants of colour. In a population of five million, even one tenth of one percent would be five thousand people and were it only half that, it’s still enough to make quite a few people uncomfortable.

And that is indeed what the Calgary office of the Alberta Newcomers Centre told Fakiha Baig, a reporter for the Canadian Press recently. Quoting Centre staff, Baig writes,

MSNBC Goes Full Racist, Attacking Sydney Sweeney Ad Campaign

Remember how, in recent years, nearly every high-profile “racist incident” that dominated the headlines eventually turned out to be a false flag or outright hoax? Well, nothing’s changed. The outrage-obsessed left has apparently run out of real things to be angry about, so now they’re inventing reasons to keep the mob frothing.

Terry Newman: Why your steak sucks this summer

Have you returned from a grocery store this summer after having dropped a small fortune on a steak, only to peel it off the barbeque to find it just wasn’t that satisfying?

It may not have been just the price that let your taste buds down. While the price of beef has surged since January — leading to price increases in popular grilling cuts like striploin, up 34 per cent, top sirloin, up 34 per cent, and rib cuts, up almost 12 per cent — there could be another reason why your steak left you with a bad taste in your mouth.

A Black female Jesus and a gay Judas will shake up the Hollywood Bowl

Adam Lambert sits on a rickety wooden chair just outside the main chapel at the Hollywood United Methodist Church on a break from rehearsing the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Dressed in beige shorts and a vest with matching mid-calf boots, Lambert wears his trademark glitter eye makeup with thick black liner. He’s calm and collected, content to spend his lunch break chatting, even though the rehearsal schedule is a breakneck nine days total. He chalks up his easygoing demeanor to the high-wattage professionalism of the cast, and his familiarity with the music.

Why is this needed?

Jewish father attacked by mob at Italian service station

A Jewish father and his six-year-old son were targeted by a mob on Sunday chanting “Free Palestine” and “murderers” at a service station near Milan, with the man eventually pushed to the floor and repeatedly kicked, in the latest of a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents across Europe.

According to the victim – a 52-year-old French Jew who lives in France and gave his name only as Elie– the incident began when a cashier shouted “Free Palestine”, upon noticing that he and his son were wearing kippahs.

Jamie Lee Curtis, a ‘Gender Affirming‘ Surgery Proponent Accuses Cosmetic Surgery Industry of ‘Genocide‘ Against Women

Jamie Lee Curtis and wierdo son

Jamie Lee Curtis, a “gender affirming” surgery proponent, is accusing the cosmetic surgery industry of committing “genocide” against women, hitting back against the trend that has turned so many into the garden variety influencer-esque woman loaded with lip filler. “Generations of women have been disfigured,” the actress said.

“I’ve been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who’ve disfigured themselves,” Curtis told the Guardian in a recent interview for which she wore a pair of fake, obnoxiously large lips on the cover in order to drive her point home.

Stephen Harper says he advised Mark Carney’s government to move away from the U.S.

Speaking before a room full of policymakers from midwestern Canada and the United States, former prime minister Stephen Harper said the ongoing trade war with the U.S. is a “wake-up call” for Canada to diversify its trade and export markets.

“I was — I think it’s fair to say — probably the most pro-American prime minister in Canadian history,” Harper said of his tenure from 2006 to 2015.

If the current government asked him a year ago for advice on U.S. President Donald Trump being re-elected and wanting to renegotiate trade, he says he would have thought it was a real opportunity for Canada to deepen its economic and security partnership with the United States.

Police officers ‘also abused’ Rotherham victims

Five women who were exploited by grooming gangs in Rotherham as children say they were also abused by police officers in the town at the time.

One says she was raped from the age of 12 by a serving South Yorkshire Police (SYP) officer in a marked police car. He would threaten to hand her back to the gang if she did not comply, she says.

“In a world where you were being abused so much, being raped once [by a police officer] was a lot easier than multiple rapes [by the gang] and I think he knew that,” she tells the BBC.
