French Outrage at Tipping Point After Student’s Rape and Murder

The news of the rape and murder of 19-year-old Philippine on the outskirts of Paris, involving a Moroccan illegal immigrant who had already been convicted by the courts and was facing deportation, exacerbates the anger of French citizens who see the repeated and culpable failings of the justice system leading to bloody, yet avoidable, tragedies.

The chain of events that led to the death of Philippine, a 19-year-old Catholic student, highlights a dramatic chain of responsibility that has already been observed in similar cases.

The Fdesouche website recalls the main stages in the life of Taha O., the 22-year-old Moroccan arrested in Switzerland on suspicion of Philippine’s murder.

Snap Election Showdown: Crucial Next Few Weeks

While the Conservatives have been clear that they want an election today, a second federal party—the Bloc Québécois—this week left no ambiguity as to its position on forcing an early election, saying it wants passage of two key bills before November in order to retain its support of the Liberals.

The NDP’s position, meanwhile, still remains ambiguous, with the party saying it will be looking at confidence votes on a case-by-case basis.

I do not expect Trudeau to reject Blanchet’s Oct 29 deadline, both the rise in seniors pensions and the free trade exemption for the agricultural cartels are likely considered vote getters by a desperate LPC.

Lunatic NDP MP introduces bill to criminalize residential school denialism

OTTAWA – An NDP MP has introduced a bill that would criminalize residential school denialism, saying it would help stop harm caused toward survivors, their families and communities.

If the bill is passed, people could be charged under the Criminal Code for promoting hatred against Indigenous Peoples by condoning, justifying or downplaying the historical and lasting impact of residential schools.

Josh Dehaas: Japan convinced me Canadians don’t need to accept urban disorder

On Sunday morning, I had some time to kill in Calgary before a flight home to Toronto, so I grabbed a coffee and started looking for a park bench to sit and read my book. I soon realized that wasn’t going to happen. Every bench was occupied by one or more drug addicts. Over the course of an hour, I saw a man injecting drugs in between his toes, a guy smoking meth while glaring at me aggressively, and hordes of people doubled over from fentanyl. Of the couple hundred people I passed, about 75 were obviously on drugs. I decided to try to find brunch, but few businesses were open. Not surprising. Who’d want to do brunch in this post-apocalyptic environment?

Asylum claims at Canadian airports are skyrocketing: Here’s why it’s happening

Asylum seekers became the focus of a jurisdictional tug-of-war this month when federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller accused conservative premiers of trying to “weaponize” asylum arrivals for political gain.

The federal Liberal government is hoping to alleviate pressure on Quebec and Ontario, where the bulk of asylum seekers are entering through airports in Toronto and Montreal, by resettling asylum seekers more evenly in other provinces across the country.

Misjudging the Debate?

Polling suggests that voters viewed the September 10 Trump–Harris contest differently from the commentariat.

One thing that commentators of the Left and Right agreed upon after the September 10 presidential debate was that Kamala Harris had resoundingly beaten Donald Trump. Harris had been the aggressor, and Trump had gotten angry, routinely taking the bait and venturing into topics more beneficial to his opponent than to himself. But if Harris won the debate so handily, why haven’t voters clearly moved her way since?

What if our housing crisis can’t be fixed?

It’s a puzzle. Whatever its answer, its consequences are likely to foment an upheaval in Canada that the coming defeat of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and the election of a Conservative government should not be expected to forestall.

The puzzle, by the reckoning of urban planner, landscape architect, author and University of British Columbia professor Patrick Condon, can be put this way.

Statistics Canada data shows immigration remains out of control

More than 250,000 people were added to Canada’s population between April 1 and July 1 of this year. It’s another massive increase at a time when the country simply can’t handle this kind of rapid growth.

The latest Statistics Canada report on population showed that between July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2024, we recorded a 3% increase in population – more than 1.2 million.

STUDY: ABC, CNN Keep Reminding Viewers About the ‘Bounty’ on Trump’s Head

Over the last 48 hours, ABC and CNN have repeatedly hyped a supposed six-figure bounty placed on President Trump’s head. While even the vehemently anti-Trump MSNBC avoided sharing specifics about the bounty so as not “to encourage any sort of potential violence,” ABC and CNN apparently held no such reservations, eagerly mentioning it a combined 21 times in just two days.
