Samidoun leader Charlotte Kates assisted a British law firm filing an application seeking to delist Hamas as a “proscribed,” or banned, terror group in the United Kingdom, she says.
“It’s an honour to have contributed to this critically important application … against the criminalization of Palestinian resistance in Britain, the imperial power responsible for Zionist colonialism in Palestine,” Kates posted on X last Wednesday.
Pedestrian crossings in several areas of northern California have been hacked with fake greetings mocking the tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
Officials in Silicon Valley are investigating and have disabled the audio feature on the crossings which usually plays instructions to “walk” or “wait”.
The surprise message were noticed over the weekend in Palo Alto, Redwood City and Menlo Park – which is home to Zuckerberg’s sprawling Meta campus.
The number of cross-border travellers going from Canada to the U.S. dropped by nearly 900,000 in March compared to the same month last year, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data — easily one of the worst year-over-year drops recorded outside of the COVID-19 health crisis.
The border figures show 4,105,516 travellers crossed the U.S. northern border in March of this year, down from 4,970,360 people who did the same in 2024 — a roughly 17 per cent decline that observers say is largely driven by President Donald Trump’s trade war, 51st state taunts and Canada-bashing.
Observers say … The Moon is made of Green Cheese.
Over the weekend, Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro was the target of a possible politically motived arson attack at the Governor’s mansion by a man with a history of mental illness and animosity towards both parties. But minutes after the news broke on Monday, disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon took to his podcast to blame President Trump, MAGA, and Republicans in general for the attack and every bad act in America; proclaiming: “You are the purveyors of hate!”
Mark Carney was handed a gift again on Tuesday from the people he says he’s fighting against.
As the Liberal leader was busy preparing for Wednesday’s French-language leaders debate, Donald Trump’s White House put the idea of the 51st state back on the election agenda.
Today, I ordered a CBC reporter to ask the White House about Trump's 51st state comments.
Then, I had them write an article about it.
Putting scary headlines in front of Canadians is the only way I'll get votes.

How long can a nation endure the presence within it of people who hate it and everything it stands for? It looks as if we’re going to find out.
Why did our “elites” think Islam, a violent supremacist murder cult, would be be a good fit in Canada?
There are two big questions about who will show up for the first leaders’ debate this week: Which Pierre Poilievre will we see? And how forgiving will the audience be?
The Pierre Poilievre who appeared on the Radio-Canada talk show, Tout le monde en parle, was a creature that had rarely been spotted in front of TV cameras.
The Conservative Leader was smiling, self-effacing, foregoing attacks on his Liberal opponent and talking to people rather than at them. It was style rather than substance, but it left a warmer impression than his usual too-hot-for-TV, aggressive style.
Transgender Canadian singer Bells Larsen canceled U.S. tour dates over visa rules stipulating travelers need to have their actual sex listed on their documentation.
Wait till he/she/it/whatever finds out about Britain’s Supreme Court Ruling on transgender nonsense.
Doug Ford and Pierre Poilievre agreed on one subject this week: change is needed.
The federal Conservative leader is saying that Canada needs change. The Ontario premier is saying that Poilievre needs to change his campaign team.
It is a remarkable feature in an already remarkable Canadian election campaign, this public airing of differences between Poilievre and Ford. Two conservatives, who would normally be allies against the federal Liberals, are openly at odds over who is best placed to win the April 28 election.
This *with us or against us* attitude is going to cost PP and the CPC the election.
*My way or the highway* combined with *I will burn down your village* may even cost him his seat.
I am quite surprised you took the time to think thru, write down and post such a ridiculous &… https://t.co/kbk4bXeXmO

Prisons across France have been targeted with gunfire and arson in co-ordinated attacks that ministers have said were a response to a crackdown on drug dealers.
At least nine jails were targeted along with a training centre for prison officers in a carefully planned operation designed to strike fear into staff without causing injury, prompting an investigation by antiterrorism officials.
MONTREAL — There is an air of resignation, if not acceptance, about Jagmeet Singh these days.
He seems to know that his time in federal politics is coming to an end.
As he came down the steps of his campaign plane for the cameras, after landing in Montreal on Monday, he cut a dejected figure. I said to him that Justin Trudeau would have waved at the non-existent crowd. He laughed it off.
The quest for diversity for diversity’s sake enfeebles the NHS, the police and the Armed Forces – which makes it a matter of life and death
A friend who is a hospital consultant has been warning me for a while about NHS “diversity” hiring, which means doctors and nurses trained here in the UK are often rejected in favour of less well-qualified medics from overseas. It gets worse. Twenty-five years ago, when Amir did his training, it was extremely competitive to get into medicine in India. Indian doctors were the best of the best, my friend says, even recalling with pride the high ranking he had among thousands of applicants. Today, rich parents can just buy a medical school place for their kids, some of them none too bright. “Everything has a price tag,” Amir says. “Not just undergraduate degrees; postgraduate degrees as well.”
Liberal Leader Mark Carney made absolutely clear Monday morning: dirty tricks will not be tolerated in his campaign. Sorry, wait, that should be: they will not just be tolerated – they will also be minimized and excused.
The Liberal Party apparatus first signalled as much when, after a CBC News report that Liberal staffers planted phony buttons at a conservative event last week, it released a statement saying its staffers merely “got carried away.” Mr. Carney drove that point home when he announced that the guilty parties would be reassigned within his campaign. This is a slap on the wrist that, in practice, actually feels more like a hot oil massage and cuticle treatment.
The tussle between Starlink boss Elon Musk and South Africa over the company’s failure to launch in the country stems from the nation’s black empowerment laws, and could be one factor behind the diplomatic row between the US and Africa’s most industrialised nation.
To his more than 219 million followers on his social media platform X, Mr Musk made the racially charged claim that his satellite internet service provider was “not allowed to operate in South Africa simply because I’m not black“.
But the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) – a regulatory body in the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors – told the BBC that Starlink had never submitted an application for a licence.
The alleged wheelman in the 2023 heist at Toronto’s Pearson airport has agreed to plead guilty to arms-trafficking charges in the U.S., which prosecutors allege stemmed from an effort to spend some of $20 million worth of stolen gold on guns.
Durante King-McLean of Brampton, Ont., who has been in custody in Pennsylvania since state troopers pulled him over in September 2023, signed the deal earlier this month before it was filed on Friday — pleading guilty to conspiracy to traffic firearms, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison or a fine of $250,000.
