A woman accused of travelling to Syria, joining the Islamic State and marrying a number of its members has renounced the terror group and violent jihad, her lawyer says.
Rayann El Houli, 34, was due to apply for bail in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday morning but her barrister Peter Morrissey SC sought an adjournment.
He told the court the prosecution had raised concerns about El Houli’s risk of endangering the community, claiming there was a lack of evidence she had renounced ISIS.
The Canadian military believes patriotism, along with distinct uniforms and other benefits, could prompt members of the public to volunteer for a new 300,000-strong reserve force to be used in national emergencies.
Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan has been promoting the plan that would create a pool of volunteers who were minimally trained.

The 18-year-old Southampton university student was handcuffed after his killer Vickrum Digwa, 23, lied to police at the scene of the 2025 stabbing claiming he had been the victim of a racist attack.
🔥A case of serious police failure with a fatal outcome.
The police seem to have become so indoctrinated that they prioritize ideology over the pursuit of facts.

Canada has given the U.S. and Mexico official notice that it wants the free trade deal between the three countries to be renewed.
In a letter to his American and Mexican counterparts, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the country is seeking renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) when it comes up for review on July 1.
The US has spoke of separate Mexico/Canada deals.
The men of my tribe [extended family] threw my relative Kawthar Bashar al-Husayjawi, 15, into a pit and put a little dirt over her body. They had killed her hours earlier with 10 bullets, and split her small head with an axe. My family then joined others in coming on to the streets to dance and celebrate her death.
Kawthar lived in al-Nahrawan, a district in the south-east of Baghdad. She had been taken out of school and at age 13 forced to marry an alcoholic years older than her.

OTTAWA — A survey commissioned by the federal government late last year suggests nearly half of Canadians believe the country is admitting too many immigrants — but the share of respondents who think so has dropped since last year’s polling.
The survey found 47 per cent of respondents believe “too many” immigrants are coming to Canada, while 38 per cent say “about the right amount” are coming.
A similar government poll conducted in late 2024 reported 54 per cent of respondents saying that “too many” immigrants were coming to Canada.
I bet the poll respondents in favour of immigration are foreigners.
Transgender troops can remain in the US military, but the armed services can continue to block their enlistment, an appeals court ruled on Monday in a split decision with potentially significant consequences for the Trump administration’s anti-diversity agenda.
The divided, majority opinion by a three-judge panel of the US court of appeals for Washington DC is expected to be challenged by the government. And the case is ultimately likely to reach the US supreme court.
The ruling was held from going into immediate effect, allowing the administration time to ask the full appeals court to hear the case.
Just a short walk away from the Toronto stadium that will host the world’s biggest soccer tournament in less than two weeks, a group of a dozen or so men in their 20s have decided to use the beautiful Sunday afternoon weather to start an impromptu soccer game at the field neighbouring their homes.
All of them are some of the biggest soccer fans you can find in the city — but none of them will be attending the FIFA World Cup matches in their own backyard.
We are gonna get soaked.
Around 500 activists, politicians, and commentators from Europe and North America gathered in Portugal on Saturday, May 30th, for a major conference dedicated to remigration, reflecting the growing prominence of immigration as a political issue across the Western world.
The summit, held in the coastal Portuguese city of Figueira da Foz, attracted attendees from across Europe, the United States, and Canada. Organisers described the event as an opportunity to exchange ideas and strategies at a time when immigration policy has become a central issue in Western politics.
Food Banks Canada says Canada’s employment insurance no longer serves the broader and shifting workforce as more people take up gig work or part-time jobs.
In its latest poverty report card, the organization says the labour market has shifted toward part-time, temporary and contract work, while EI only caters to a shrinking workforce that has stable, full-time work with a single employer.

SAIPAN – The irony was almost too neat, and Jim Kingman felt it land as he sat in the gleaming, barely used federal courthouse on Saipan in the summer of 2024 and watched the United States government close the book on Julian Assange.
They had come a very long way to do it. The head of the Justice Department’s national security division flew in that morning; by early afternoon the WikiLeaks founder had pleaded guilty to a single Espionage Act count over the disclosure of Bradley Manning’s classified files, been sentenced to time served, and was gone — three hours, beginning to end, the federal lawyers not bothering to feign curiosity about the island they had chosen as the stage.
THE Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) published some startling figures on Thursday. The latest HMRC payroll data, their analysis reveals, shows that the number of young foreigners entering the workforce massively outstrips UK nationals.
Specifically the number of non-EU migrants on the payrolls rose from 82,000 in January 2020 to 370,000 in December 2025 – an increase of 290,000 and up 355 per cent over five years compared to just 11,000 extra young UK nationals.
