A London council left anti-Semitism off a list of hate crimes while including many other forms of prejudice, including transphobia and Islamophobia.
Tower Hamlets “cropped” the reference to anti-Jewish discrimination from a website page promoting support for National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
For four years, the poster on the web page has not made any reference to anti-Semitism, while at the same time listing disablism, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism and transphobia.
Safety barriers set up in downtown Kitchener ahead of Oktoberfest celebrations
Anyone heading to the main stage at Willkommen Platz on King Street in Kitchener may notice a new security feature has been added this year.
Mifram barriers have been set up near the main stage.
“We can move this in seconds, but it will stop a truck,” Steve Roth, special events manager with the City of Kitchener, explained. “It’s kind of a best of both worlds type of unit.”
Where were the warning signs, we ask about monsters like the Manchester killer. The answer is: in their domestic lives
Before he made a fake suicide belt and purchased real knives; before he drove his black Kia into a crowd of worshippers gathering outside a Manchester synagogue; before he stabbed and killed and terrorised British Jews on their holiest day, Jihad al-Shamie acquired three wives.
Not serially but cumulatively. The moment a police marksman ended his life, Shamie was married to three women. However, the crime of bigamy, which carries a seven-year sentence under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act, did not apply here, since at least two of the marriages were conducted only under sharia law. Besides, Shamie wasn’t a big believer in bigamy. “In Islam a man can have up to 4 wives,” he texted Wife Two, whom he had not told about Wife One, “but these days most women don’t accept it.”
German police are investigating whether far-left extremists from Antifa were behind a massive fire that destroyed the historic Thurn und Taxis hunting lodge near Regensburg, Bavaria earlier this week.
The fire, which broke out in the early hours of Monday, reduced the 19th-century building to its outer walls and caused damage estimated at around €4 million.
During his visit to U.S. President Donald Trump’s White House last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney sounded exactly like he said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would sound had he won the federal election in April.
In 2019, Catherine McKenna declared a climate emergency. In a recent Nate Erskine-Smith interview with McKenna, about her new book “Run Like a Girl,” he has a telling sentence that certainly most Western Canadians will “get it in their guts.” At about 30 minutes into the interview, Erskine-Smith recounts several of McKenna’s initiatives, noting that the carbon tax gets the most attention, but she is also responsible for imposing stringent methane rules on agriculture and industry, the Clean Electricity Standard, and the industrial carbon price. BTW, she also introduced the “no more pipelines” Bill C-69 in 2018.
Over at last few years, people on the left have taken exception to the mission of Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Our leftist university campuses in particular have criticized the TPUSA mission, since it advocates conservative and religious values.
As Canada’s pipeline saga continues, Prime Minister Mark Carney won’t be able to sit on the sidelines much longer.
Here’s what’s happening: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith isn’t waiting around for a private sector proponent to come forward with a proposal to build a pipeline to bring Alberta oil to British Columbia’s northwest coast.
This was always a war that Israel could not afford to lose but could never decisively win. It remains to be seen whether the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas represents a successful outcome for the Jewish State or a Pyrrhic victory.
Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, was right to say yesterday that ‘the world is witnessing a historic moment’. But his claim that the deal opens ‘a door of hope for the peoples of the region for a future defined by justice and stability’ sounds like wishful thinking.
