Germany: 17-year-old Muslim arrested over alleged terror plot
Prosecutors in the northern German city of Flensburg said on Tuesday that a youth arrested last week was planning an Islamist terror attack.
He had “sufficiently concrete plans for an attack” to warrant an arrest, they added, saying there was also evidence of his radicalization.

National chief says ICC should probe disappearances of children from residential schools
The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations says the International Criminal Court should investigate the disappearance of Indigenous children from Canadian residential schools.
Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak said she supports the call by Kimberly Murray — the federally-appointed Independent Special Interlocutor on Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and burial sites — for the ICC to reconsider its decision not to investigate.
“A lot of the people that did create these harms were never prosecuted,” Woodhouse Nepinak told CBC News. “It’s still hurtful to so many survivors.”

As Taylor Swift prepares for her string of concerts, we were blasted with a reminder that it’s not really always safe in Toronto, a city plagued by more than one shooting each and every day.

Doug Ford calls Mexico ‘backdoor’ for Chinese goods, proposes Canada-U.S. free trade deal
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Mexico to match trade tariffs on Chinese imports and says Canada and the United States should consider striking their own bilateral free trade deal if that doesn’t happen.
The Premier’s missive at Mexico comes after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency with a promise to reopen the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement when it is up for review in 2026. The USMCA replaced the North America free-trade agreement and came into effect in 2020.

As Toronto enters its Taylor Swift era, experts say crowd safety depends on planning
As Toronto readies for Taylor Swift’s arrival this week, some crowd management and planning experts say additional safety precautions should be taken when tens of thousands of fans fill the city’s downtown core on show nights.

Archbishop of Canterbury resigns over child sex abuse scandal
The Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned over his “untenable” handling of one of the church’s most serious abuse scandals.
Justin Welby’s decision to stand down comes after a petition by some members of the General Synod, the church’s parliament, collected more than 5,000 signatures urging him to leave over his alleged failures to alert the authorities about a barrister’s “abhorrent” abuse of children and young men.
Good. He was way too woke.
Most criminal cases in Ontario now ending before charges are tested at trial
Emily Quint says she would never have pursued the prosecution of the man she alleges sexually assaulted her nearly three years ago if she’d known what she’d go through.
“The whole process was horrific,” said Quint. “The way that it ended, my whole world went up in flames.”
A year ago, the sexual assault charge was stayed for an unreasonable delay after the trial failed to wrap before the time limit set in the 2016 Supreme Court decision R. v. Jordan.
Why feminists in the US are shunning marriage, sex and children after Trump’s win
A radical feminist movement in which women shun marriage, dating and sex with men is taking hold among young liberal Americans in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory.
Originating in South Korea and known as 4B, which means “four nos” in Korean, its tenets are: no dating, no sex with men, no marriage and no children.
Other principles include ditching beauty products and avoiding social interactions with men altogether.
Don’t interrupt them.

Trudeau Lickspittle says ‘not everyone is welcome’ in response to concerns about Trump deportation plan … Bullshlit
Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the federal government is ready to work with the United States as it implements president-elect Donald Trump’s promises to crack down on immigration, but he wants anyone hoping to come to Canada to do so legally.
Ottawa has been under increasing pressure from opposition MPs, the Quebec Premier and immigration lawyers since last week’s U.S. election to respond to concerns that Mr. Trump’s plans to deport millions of people will lead to an influx of asylum seekers coming into Canada. Mr. Miller told The Globe and Mail that any claims that the incoming president’s plans could affect Canada are “speculation.”
Hired Judge delays Trump immunity decision in NY hush money case
A New York judge delayed a Tuesday decision on whether President-elect Trump’s conviction can withstand the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, following his election victory last week.
Judge Juan Merchan agreed to freeze the case until Nov. 19, newly public court records show, enabling prosecutors to respond to Trump’s demand the case be dismissed entirely now that he is president-elect.
