Jamie Sarkonak: Serving Starbucks in English might be ‘racism,’ Saskatchewan court says

Human rights commission must reconsider case of woman who was refused service in Tagalog

In Saskatchewan, the authorities are currently deciding whether to treat Tagalog like an official language.

It all started at the Starbucks in Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital. Vanessa Casila, a Filipina woman, tried to order in Tagalog. The employee taking her order refused, saying she would receive a formal reprimand from the manager if she went along with it. Casila then filed a human rights complaint, claiming that the “English only” policy amounted to discrimination based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, and nationality.

Black businessman bullied into dumping plans for new nightclub after white, liberal women told him the name was RACIST

Outraged White Liberal Women

A black Kansas City businessman has been forced to scrap his plans to open a new nightclub after a local football fan club comprised mainly of liberal white women complained that the name was ‘racist.’

Casio McCombs said this week he was ‘deeply disappointed’ that his plans to open a club named Sundown HiFi were halted due to outcry from KC Blue Crew, a supporters club for women’s soccer team KC Current.

The ‘sundown’ name was deemed by the group to be a reference to a ‘sundown town’, a 19th Century term for all-white communities that would practice racial segregation and terrorize any black people unfortunate enough to find themselves on its streets after dark.

Syrian Leader Contradicts Merz on Migrant Returns

The German chancellor said up to 80% of Syrians could return within three years, citing Damascus—an account now disputed.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s claim that Syria supports large-scale returns of its nationals has been contradicted by the country’s interim president.

The German chancellor stated in Berlin, alongside Syrian interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa, that around 80% of the Syrians currently living in Germany should return to Syria within three years. It was the central figure in the CDU’s new narrative: migration toughness, Syrian reconstruction ,and the recovery of political control after a decade of crisis.

Acquittal! A ‘bad mood’ now a legitimate legal defense for murder

 

Last August, law enforcement in the German state of Saarland responded to a call of armed robbery at a local convenience store, where they came upon the suspect, a knife-wielding Turkish teenager who’d just bagged around €600—the teen attacked and during the scuffle, “seized a service weapon from a trainee, and opened fire.” (I would like to know if that “trainee” who couldn’t keep hold of the firearm was a woman.) Ahmet G., the 19-year-old miscreant, hit 34-year-old Police Chief Inspector Simon Bohr with a spray of bullets, and Bohr died at the scene after being shot in “the head, face, neck, shoulder, abdomen, and back.” Bohr also left behind a wife and child(ren).

Crisis is coming, and voters may give the federal NDP another look

Somewhere, James Laxer is shedding a wistful tear. Along with Mel Watkins, Cy Gonick and others, Mr. Laxer led the radical Waffle faction within the federal NDP in the late 1960s and early 1970s, whose mission was to pull the party sharply to the left.

They advocated for nationalization of major industries, strict limits on foreign ownership, sharply higher taxes on the wealthy, and perhaps most controversially, withdrawal from NATO. They were organized, disciplined and uncompromising: a party within a party.

Are the Elbow people so stupid they’d vote Lewis in. I’m betting they won’t as Coyne thinks they might.
