Muslim groups say MPs won’t be welcome in mosques until they call for Gaza ceasefire

With Ramadan just around the corner, a national Muslim organization and several local congregations are warning members of Parliament they won’t be welcome in their mosques until they call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, demand restoration of funding for the UN’s aid agency and condemn what they call Israel’s “war crimes.”

An open letter signed by the National Council of Canadian Muslims and a number of prominent mosques, obtained by CBC News, says MPs who refuse to make these pledges publicly will not be “provided with a platform to address our congregations.”

Doesn’t affect Justin, he converted years ago.

Gender rights campaigners have warned that allowing trans women born as men to live in female-only British Army accommodation is a ‘court case waiting to happen’.

Top brass are alleged to have dismissed soldiers’ concerns by insisting: ‘It’s not an issue as you can tell who are predators.’

Google’s “Gemini” artificial intelligence platform, branded as its “most capable” artificial intelligence, is facing backlash as users say the platform appears to be biased against white people — particularly men — and for producing different results to questions based on race and sex.

German taxi driver fined over tiny rear window Bible quote sticker

ESSEN, GERMANY (20 February 2024) – The German city of Essen issued a fine against taxi driver Jalil Mashali over alleged unlawful “religious advertising,” because of a small Bible verse sticker on his rear window reading “Jesus – I am the way. The truth. And the life”.

Mashali was asked to respond to the allegation back in October 2023 and was threatened with a fine of up to 1,000 EUR if he failed to do so. The Christian convert has so far declined to remove the sticker. The authorities are now demanding a fine and fees of 88.50 EUR. Mashali is now challenging the fine. ADF International is supporting his case.

“Typically, ungraded beef from Mexico would come from older bulls or cows,” said Charlebois.

If you have spotted “ungraded beef” at your grocery store recently – it’s not mystery meat. In fact, officials say it’s completely safe to consume.

“Essentially, you’re getting a product that is safe to eat, it is edible, but you don’t necessarily know what you’re getting from a quality perspective,” Sylvain Charlebois, senior director of Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab, told CTV News Toronto.

Conservative government would require ID to watch porn: Poilievre

OTTAWA – Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre says a future Conservative government would change the law to require that porn websites verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing the content.

The Tories currently back a Senate bill that promises to do just that.

Bill S-210 passed the Senate in the spring and is set to be studied by a House committee, but no meetings have been scheduled yet.

Not sure this is a great idea.

Former Ontario nuclear plant operator employee charged in secretive leak case

A former employee of the Crown corporation that operates Ontario nuclear plants has been charged with leaking “safeguarded information” that could harm Canada.

In a case unfolding quietly in a courtroom east of Toronto, James Mousaly faces a rare charge under the Security of Information Act.


I get hits indicating Mousaly may be Muslim (Iraq) in origin.

It’s not the first time a crazy Mohammedan was found to be employed at a Canadian Nuclear site.

Recall all the fun we had with the deranged Rehmat! It’s a pity his site is deleted.

Sacrilege in the Cathedral: How St. Patrick’s Was Set Up

For humanists, the purpose of a funeral is to memorialize life. For Catholics, the point is to pray for the deceased’s soul — and at the subsequent reception, to reminisce. For some transgender activists, the point is apparently to create a political spectacle to embarrass your enemies.

On February 15, St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral in New York hosted the funeral of Cecilia Gentili, a transgender activist and prostitute from Argentina.
