FIRST READING: The Canadian lawyers and professors signing petitions to ‘contextualize’ Hamas terror

This week, more than 700 Canadian lawyers, law students, law professors and other academics signed their names to a petition saying that Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacres should be placed in their proper “context,” rather than condemned. “We reject the notion that it is antisemitic, hateful, or illegitimate to contextualize the October 7th, 2023 attack,” they wrote.

Misunderstanding from social media spurs rise in international student food bank visits

A misconception about how Canadian food banks operate — combined with some misleading information on social media — has led to a sudden increase in usage among international students at London’s food bank along with others in Canada.

London Food Bank co-executive director Glen Pearson said his staff was already dealing with a 43 per cent increase in visits at the start of this school year when they began to notice a spike in food requests from post-secondary students.

Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard found guilty of 4 counts of sexual assault

One-time Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who was accused of attacking five women in the private bedroom suite of his downtown Toronto office building, was found guilty by a Toronto jury on Sunday of four counts of sexual assault.

He was acquitted of one of five counts of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.

Nygard, 82, who wore a black parka in court, didn’t appear to show any emotion as the verdict was handed down on the jurors’ fifth day of deliberations.

Maybe stay away from the guy with the Stripper pole in his jet.

On mute: Tijuana passes law banning ballads praising Mexican drug trade

A typical song by Peso Pluma, one of Mexico’s most popular singers, might start with a guitar and a trumpet, sounding like something for the older crowd – but then come the lyrics telling of drug shipments, stacks of cash and diamond-encrusted pistols.

Peso Pluma has produced some of the most notorious recent examples of narcocorridos – ballads celebrating the exploits of the Mexican underworld that are hugely popular not just at home but across Latin America and the US.

One of them – a paean to a foot soldier of the Sinaloa cartel – probably led to recent death threats he received in the border city of Tijuana, forcing him to cancel concerts.

My God but Mexico is messed up.

Scientists Want Meat Slapped With ‘Cigarette-Style’ Warning Labels About Climate Change. Here’s Why It’s Completely Asinine

A group of scientists is proposing government-mandated cigarette-style caution labels on meat packages that could read, “Warning: Eating meat contributes to climate change.” The anti-meat scientists, who falsely claim meat consumption is detrimental to health and the environment, began pushing for the labels after conducting a study at the UK’s Durham University.

The researchers took a group of 1,000 meat-eating adults and split them into four groups. Depending on what group a participant was in, they were shown photos of hot meals assigned climate, health, or pandemic warning labels or no warning label at all.
