Britons banned from calling Americans ‘Yanks’ in ‘racial harassment’ court ruling

Senior RCMP officer’s ‘no evidence’ comment about India seems to contradict past statements

Senior RCMP officer’s ‘no evidence’ comment about India seems to contradict past statements

Perhaps the most surprising part of the announcement of the joint Operation Hard Ball last week was how much the RCMP’s description of the actors involved in the killing of a Canadian Sikh activist differed from what it said only a short while ago.

“I firmly state that nothing has come out today to link the Indian government” to the operation, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Lisa Moreland told CBC’s Power & Politics.

“There’s no evidence to suggest through this organized crime investigation and the charges and the indictment laid forward that Indian officials were charged or involved

Moaning husband details hellish misery woke Canadian wife is suffering in ICE custody as she faces deportation for slapping teens wearing MAGA clothing

The husband of a Canadian woman who is set to be deported for allegedly slapping a teenage girl wearing MAGA-branded clothing says she is enduring hellish conditions inside a squalid immigration facility.

Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, is locked up at New Jersey’s notoriously grim immigration facility Delaney Hall, after being detained over an alleged assault on a teen during Fourth of July celebrations on the Jersey Shore.

Police said Tracey confronted a group of teenagers who were wearing ‘patriotic colored’ clothes, which were reportedly emblazoned with ‘Trump’ and ‘ICE’, before she allegedly slapped one of the teens.

Canadians Like Depraved Slave Labour Camp Called China More Than US Says Pew Research Survey

Canadians’ opinions of the United States have deteriorated while their perceptions of China have improved compared to a few years ago, a new report suggests.

According to a Pew Research Center report released Wednesday, 44 per cent of Canadians surveyed between February and May hold a favourable view of China, while 33 per cent feel the same about the U.S. Last year, Canadians were “equally” favourable toward both countries. But in 2023, most Canadians had a “positive view” of the U.S. at 57 per cent, compared to 14 per cent that viewed China positively.
