Finnish MP To Appeal ‘Hate Speech’ Conviction to Strasbourg
Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen announced today that she will take her conviction for “insulting a group” to the European Court of Human Rights, setting up a test of how far free speech and religious expression are protected under European law.
The Finnish Supreme Court found her guilty in March 2026, by a narrow 3–2 majority, for disseminating a 2004 pamphlet to her religious community. In that text, Räsänen outlined the Christian conception of marriage as a union between a man and a woman and questioned certain practices from that doctrinal perspective.

Canada is a circus. It is a legitimate clown show. The solutions to cleaning up this mess are remigration and an immigration moratorium. Anything less is insufficient. pic.twitter.com/RcEjJCDLpE

Ottawa quietly pulled $3M from homeless veterans program despite rising demand
The federal government quietly transferred more than $3 million away from a homelessness program for veterans after officials claimed they could not find enough former military members eligible to receive the funding.
Blacklock’s Reporter says internal records obtained through Access to Information show Housing Minister Gregor Robertson’s department moved the money while warning the decision could spark backlash from veterans groups and housing advocates.
More than 50,000 pupils expected to strike over German rearmament policy
Tens of thousands of pupils across Germany are expected to boycott the classroom and take to the streets in a nationwide protest organisers say is to stop the government’s rearmament policy turning young people into “cannon fodder”.
Despite threats from teachers’ associations and education ministries, which have said anyone who demonstrates during school hours could risk penalties and even expulsion, organisers say they expect the number of participants at Friday’s school strike to be at least as high as the estimated 50,000 who attended each of the first two.
Scott Stinson: Ontario’s crackdown on drugs on public transit has been a long time coming
After the Progressive Conservative government announced plans this week to grant new powers to public-transit special constables so that they can arrest drug users, there was nary a word of protest from the opposition parties at Queen’s Park.
This was significant. It’s not as though Doug Ford’s counterparts are in a particularly conciliatory mood.

GUNTER: Overturned ruling a blow to human rights commission’s credibility
It’s rare to see a judge call out a human rights commission as completely as Court of King’s Bench Justice John Little chastised the Alberta Human Rights Commission on Monday. Little so completely overturned the commission’s 2024 ruling of racism against the Edmonton Police Service that there will be no re-hearing of the complaint.
Meet Shada Islam – Exploring the mind of a Guardianista.
If you really want to understand how Britain went totally insane, it helps to check in regularly with the Guardian, because it’s required reading for the privileged leftist twits who flushed their kingdom down the loo, providing them with daily reminders of what their shared ideology requires them to profess. Ban critics of Islam like Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Valentina Gomez, and Eva Vlardingerbroek while letting unvetted Muslim men of military age flow into the country like hot lava pouring down from Vesuvius onto the helpless inhabitants of Pompeii? Check. Imprison Tommy Robinson for exposing Muslim rape gangs while protecting the rapists themselves from prosecution? Check. Allow aggressive Muslim men to pray loudly and en masse in the streets, blocking traffic in an obvious power move, while arresting one humble Christian woman for praying silently near an abortion clinic? Check. To your typical Guardian editor, writer, or reader, it all makes perfect sense.
Uyghur Forced Labor Imports From China To Canada Must Be Blocked
WASHINGTON — For nearly four decades, I have advocated for justice and human rights for the Uyghur people in the face of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) oppression. Its record of gross human rights violations is well documented, despite an extensive propaganda apparatus designed to obscure it. China’s use of economic leverage to expand its political influence is also widely recognized, with overt examples across the globe. What is often less visible is the breadth and depth of what the CCP is willing to do, and the lengths it will go, to sustain control and project power.
The Masks Are Off: How Europe Betrayed the Trump Administration
Europe has betrayed President Trump. For years, EU leaders and key national governments have undermined the White House’s agenda quietly, working to remove pro-Washington figures from power. We recently witnessed this in Romania, where Cătălin Georgescu — a clear frontrunner who favored closer ties with the U.S. — was effectively sidelined in the presidential race. In Hungary, there was a concerted effort to defeat Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party in April. Now, anti-Trump Europe has stepped out of the shadows and is openly distancing itself from the administration, leaving it to face its challenges in Iran alone.
Shark or sea monster? The Canadian marine mystery that still intrigues experts 90 years on
Its head resembled a dog’s, its downturned nose a camel’s, and at the end of its reptilian body was the tail of horse. Witnesses say it was covered in a thin white film. When the remains of a strange creature were pulled from the stomach of a sperm whale, most of those present agreed: it was a sea monster – or at least something unknown living in the depths off Canada’s west coast.
Crews at the whaling station in the archipelago of Haida Gwaii assembled a platform of wooden boxes and laid out the 3-metre (10ft) carcass, using a white sheet to display the curiosity that had baffled veteran whalers.
Islamic sectarianism is warping democracy
Even before a single ballot has been counted, Islamic sectarianism has already emerged as one of the defining stories of these English local elections. Significant proportions of Muslim voters are expected to swing towards Green or Muslim independent candidates, and away from a Labour Party that could once depend on their vote. A new report by spiked columnist Rakib Ehsan for the Policy Exchange think-tank explains why.
Geoff Russ: Democracy can’t exist in B.C. as long as DRIPA is around
British Columbia’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) is encroaching on the democratic rights of British Columbians.
DRIPA, as developed by the provincial NDP government and defended by the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC), has gone beyond the process of consultation required under Canadian law. Now, it has become a vessel for co-governance between First Nations and the provincial government.
