Psst … Muslims will literally throw you off a roof – “Discourse around Pride and Palestinian rights part of history of activism in the 2SLGBTQ+ community”

In the wake of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 last year and Israel’s subsequent military assault in Gaza, Halifax Pride and other organizations in Canada have faced calls from parts of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to support Palestinian people.

Community educator Aaliyah Paris is one non-binary and queer person in Halifax who’s made that call.

She wants more transparency from Halifax Pride, and for it to divest from companies on the Canadian boycott, divest and sanction (BDS) list — a group of firms, organizations and people that pro-Palestinian groups say should be boycotted to put pressure on Israel.

Local counter-sniper team was inside building where Trump shooter climbed on the roof and opened fire: sources

A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building where attempted assassin Thomas Crooks climbed on the roof and fired on Donald Trump, law enforcement sources told The Post.

The building — the AGR International Inc. factory in Butler, Pennsylvania — was being used by local police as a “watch post” for snipers to scan for threats as the former president spoke onstage

only 130 yards away, according to sources.

Incredible.

Stunning new details from @CBSNews on how secret service snipers noticed the shooter before the Trump rally in Butler, PA on Saturday.

There were three snipers stationed INSIDE the building the shooter was on, according to a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge.

One of the snipers inside saw Crooks outside looking up at the roof observing the building and then disappeared, according to local law enforcement.

You mean there’s more than one?

UBC, U Alberta, U Guelph profs lament Trump assassination attempt failed, call it staged

Dr. Karen Pinder, a medical professor at University of British Columbia (UBC), said it’s “too bad” the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was unsuccessful.

Trump on Saturday was shot at with a rifle from a rooftop during the Republican Convention in Pennsylvania Saturday. The bullet skimmed the cartilage in his ear, but otherwise he was unharmed. One person was killed, and two critically injured.

I don’t care what they said. I do care that their ideology may dictate the ill-treatment of students and colleagues they consider political enemies.

Send your kids to a trade school.

Etobicoke residents upset over plan to build Somali centre

Downtown Mogadishu, an aspirational vision of Toronto’s future from Mayor Chow

A city-backed plan to build a recreation centre for Toronto’s Somali community is facing an uncertain future, after fierce backlash from residents who have enlisted Premier Doug Ford in their fight to stop the project coming to their neighbourhood.

The group behind the proposal to construct a Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation (SCCR) in Etobicoke’s Buttonwood Park says it would be the culmination of a decades-long effort to carve out space for a Black community that has endured discrimination and lacks access to public amenities.

Nothing says identity politics ghetto like a tax payer funded Mohammedan centre.

German town battles invasion of ‘super-ants’

The species from north Africa, Tapinoma magnum, has been known to knock out electricity and damage roads

An invasion of “super-ants” is causing a stir in Germany after a prolifically reproducing species from north Africa was blamed for knocking out internet and electricity connections.

Residents of Kehl, near the French border, say the insects are breeding at such a pace that nothing can be done to prevent giant colonies from spreading across entire districts, where their tunnels are undermining roads and pavements.
