MANHATTAN, NY — In another disgusting display of judicial activism, progressive judge Juan Merchan released a man convicted of 34 felonies right back onto the streets of New York.
Instead of handing out jail time, Merchan simply released the felon back into civil society, with no conditions whatsoever.

A poll commissioned by CBC News has revealed that over 80% of newcomers to Canada believe that the country’s immigration system is bringing in too many people without proper planning.
In November, Pollara Strategic Insights conducted a survey involving 1,507 individuals to learn about their experiences of immigrating to Canada.

The number of refugee claimants Canada has accepted has more than doubled since 2018. A CBC investigation has found that people from some countries have an easier time claiming asylum than others.
The number of refugee claimants granted asylum in Canada was close to 37,000 in 2023, up from just over 14,000 in 2018.
The recognition rate, which is determined by the number of accepted refugee claims divided by the total number of claims that have been decided by the Immigration and Refugee Board on merit, also increased to 82 per cent in the first nine months of 2024, from 64 per cent in 2018.
The entire refugee system needs to be frozen and the staff tossed to the curb.
Canada’s Top Job Market Is Saskatoon, Toronto Ranks Near Worst: BMO
Toronto is out and Saskatoon is in—at least for those looking for a robust job market. That’s the take from BMO’s latest labor market rankings of Canada’s 33 largest cities. The country added tens of thousands of jobs, but surging population growth means some cities did worse than others. Places like Toronto saw a sharp erosion of its labor market as its population outpaced its ability to create jobs. More affordable cities like Saskatoon maintained robust population growth, but managed to grow its labor market faster—probably since shelter costs didn’t consume its economy.

The Vatican has approved new guidelines making it easier for gay men to enter the priesthood.
The guidelines for Italian seminaries, released on Thursday, state that the homosexual tendencies of a trainee priest should be put in the “context of the young person’s personality” and not require his automatic expulsion.
Pakistan’s national airline has come under fire for a “tone deaf” advert that appears to show a plane flying into the Eiffel Tower.
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), which was banned from flying to the UK, US and EU in 2020 amid safety concerns, on Friday announced it had resumed flights to Europe after the ban was lifted.
The bread price-fixing scandal investigation marks its 10th anniversary this year. Initiated in 2015, the Competition Bureau’s work remains incomplete. That’s right, it is still ongoing.
While Loblaw, Weston Bakeries (since sold), and Canada Bread (also sold, now owned by Mexico’s Grupo Bimbo, which paid a record-breaking $50-million fine) have faced consequences, four other companies — Sobeys, Metro, Giant Tiger, and Walmart — remain under investigation. This prolonged timeline is extraordinary and does little to foster consumer trust.
And no government policy or program can fix their problems.
The shocking murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson a few weeks ago by what appears to be the son of an affluent family and a product of elite educational institutions, Luigi Mangione, manifests deep festering problems for the children of elites. There is no simple way to describe what is going on because it is multi-faceted. Ironically, children from the most “privileged” backgrounds tend to have a high rate of psychological pathologies due to: over-active parenting; high stress, performance-oriented educational structures; woke teachers, professors, and administrators; and insulated sheltered social circles.

HOLY SHLIT. Mark Zuckerberg says the Biden admin called his employees and “screamed and cursed” at them to take down Covid/vaccine content. They wanted Meta to censor memes too.
When he pushed back, the Biden regime started investigating his companies.
