The narrative of London having miraculously escaped the scourge of child rape grooming gangs may be on the verge of starting to unravel, with accusations of a “cover-up” being levied as investigations have uncovered potential examples of abuse operating in the British capital.
OTTAWA — A Bangladeshi man in U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement custody is permanently barred from returning to Canada, a Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson said.
Mahin Shahriar, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national who had lived in Canada since 2019, said he inadvertently crossed the Canada-U.S. border in May and has been in ICE custody ever since.
In an interview from an ICE detention facility in Buffalo, N.Y., Shahriar said he believes he was led across the border in a human trafficking attempt by “a friend” who offered him a place to stay while he was dealing with mental health issues.
Conservative activist Robby Starbuck filed a defamation lawsuit against Google alleging its artificial-intelligence tools falsely connected Starbuck to sexual-assault claims and to a white nationalist.
Starbuck said he became aware of the inaccuracies in 2023 while using Bard, an early Google AI tool. Bard said that Starbuck had ties to Richard Spencer, a once-prominent white nationalist, according to the lawsuit. At the time, Starbuck took to social-media platform X and tagged Google and its CEO in a post about the details:
“Imagine a future where Bard is used to decide whether you get a loan, if you’re approved for adoption,” he asked his hundreds of thousands of followers at the time. The lawsuit says newer Google AI tools produced other falsehoods about him earlier this year, including claims that Starbuck had been accused of sexual assault.
OTTAWA—Federal NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis is among a group of Jewish academics slamming one of Canada’s biggest pro-Israel Jewish groups as anti-Palestinian in a new report released Tuesday.
The report, authored by six members of the Jewish Faculty Network, is based on an examination of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs’ (CIJA) public statements and social media posts during the first six months of the war in Gaza. It argues the organization has promoted anti-Palestinian racism “through the idea that unrestricted violence against Palestinians is necessary for Jewish safety,” pushed for a crackdown on protesters critical of Israel, and excluded dissenting Jewish voices.
Luigi Mangione was roughed up by a group of transgender women during a wild night out in Thailand in the months before he allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a new report claims.
The 27-year-old accused assassin allegedly bragged to friends over WhatsApp about his raucous nightlife backpacking through Asia before he returned to the US in July 2024 and allegedly shot Thompson that December, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

Are we close to reaching a deal with the Americans and if so does it include auto? It’s tough to tell based on what the government is saying, but their actions are speaking louder than their words.
On Tuesday morning, Mark Carney’s point man on cross-border trade was downplaying a story in the Globe and Mail that said the government was close to a deal with Trump on steel, aluminum and energy — but not autos.
Prince Andrew is facing mounting pressure from ministers and senior politicians to leave his grace-and-favour mansion on the Windsor Estate after accusations that he is a “disgrace” who is “sponging off the state”.
The Times disclosed this week that Andrew has not paid rent on Royal Lodge, a 30-room property, for two decades.
The prince agreed to pay £1 million plus at least £7.5 million for refurbishment of the lodge, which entitled him and his family to live in the property rent-free until 2078. The agreement states that if the prince chooses to leave the property he will be compensated but cannot be evicted.
More … Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge lifeline collapses
Prince Andrew’s future at Royal Lodge is in doubt after the collapse of a business deal that was intended to provide a financial lifeline, the Telegraph can reveal.
The deal would have allowed the Prince to abide by the terms of his lease by paying for the hugely expensive upkeep of the vast Windsor estate.
Without it, he could face eviction from the 30-room Windsor property, on which he has not paid rent for two decades.
Six in 10 Torontonians say the city is headed in the wrong direction, with a similar majority placing the blame squarely at the feet of Mayor Olivia Chow, according to results of a new poll.
A survey conducted by Canada Pulse Insights on behalf of CityNews finds 64 per cent of Torontonians asked believe the city is on the wrong track, with 68 per cent saying the mayor and city council are out of touch with what residents want.
Affordability and the cost of living are the most important issues facing the city, according to 49 per cent of respondents. Home ownership (34 per cent), gridlock (29 per cent), crime (29 per cent) and homelessness (21 per cent) round out the top five concerns.
Hamas terrorists are ramping up their brutal crackdown across the Gaza Strip as they round up Palestinians, torture them, and execute them in broad daylight, harrowing new video shared by Israel shows.
Footage shared by the Israeli Foreign Ministry from inside the Strip shows suspected Hamas gunmen drag a man across the street as he yells before they start savagely kicking him.
In Gaza, speaking out against Hamas costs you your life.

Misogynistic ideas made popular online are popping up in Canadian classrooms, survey says
In her Grade 8 to Grade 12 classrooms, Annie Ohana says ideas with toxic undertones are often not far away.
Like earlier this school year, when she was handing out cups for an activity, and a boy asked if any part of it would “lower [his] testosterone.” The student conceded he didn’t actually know what testosterone was or how it impacted his body but, Ohana says, he was familiar with the misinformation that circulates online that claims men who have low testosterone are less masculine.
“I know exactly where that kind of language comes from. It is very much from… the manosphere,” Ohana told CBC News.
The CBC is Progressive Hell. The manliness person has an NGO. Of course.
In lawless Canada people do as they please like shutting down the 401 to drag race.

British troops have deployed to Israel to join a multinational force that will monitor the fragile ceasefire in Gaza after a request from the Americans.
A senior commander and a small number of military personnel will be based in the country as part of a team led by the United States that will provide logistical and security assistance in the region. The two-star officer will be deputy to an American commander operating from a “civil-military” co-ordination centre in Israel that already includes American troops.

“Lest it be forgotten, cultivating oligopolies rather than competition is more Canada’s economic forte. We have a banking oligopoly, an insurance oligopoly, a telecom oligopoly, an airline oligopoly, a retail-grocery oligopoly, big oil, big rail and a beer oligopoly too.”
It’s not going well. The depth of despair in Ottawa over tariffs and trade talks with the U.S. has inspired a sudden conviction that “competition” is the new “sustainability.”
Canada’s climate-change strategy is now a “climate-competitiveness strategy” according to Prime Minister Mark Carney.
