The Church of England has been criticised for advertising a “head of racial justice priority” vacancy on double the salary earned by vicars.
The role will be responsible for spearheading the creation of a “racially just church” in the Diocese of London and comes with an annual wage of £66,646.
The salary is more than double the £31,644 stipend received by parish priests in the diocese.
Douglas Todd: Not a word was directed at Ottawa to lower its migration targets, even while mayors are not normally shy about asking senior governments to come to their aid
Hundreds of mayors, councillors and planners from across B.C. showed up this week at the annual conference of the Union of B.C. Municipalities for a keynote session on the housing crisis.
After being informed housing prices in Kamloops are now higher than in Calgary, they heard experts, advocates and development-industry officials talk about the “sacrifices” and “uncomfortable” truths B.C. residents, specifically taxpayers, must face to address unaffordability.
Rufo said what motivates politicians to act is a sense of urgency often emanating from media rooted in facts. To get politicians to act, he said he has generated media narratives.
By doing his investigations, he said he has been able to work news cycles. There is an adage in local television newsrooms that if it bleeds, it leads.
The press chooses victim-blaming and apathy.
Something weird has happened.
This summer, America experienced what should be the type of generationally defining moments that leave a man remembering, even decades later, precisely where he was when he heard the news.
When the Washington Post set out to map 485 million years of global temperatures, they uncovered an inconvenient truth in the climate change story: Earth’s been on a 50-million-year cool-down.

The IDF stated on Sunday that they can neither confirm nor deny reports on the possible death of Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar.
Among sources consulted by The Jerusalem Post, a top source poured cold water on the notion, another source – who would be expected to have information – said they had no real information on it, while others noted disagreements within the defense establishment.
Wild Mother – the online alias of a woman called Desirée – lives in the mountains of Colorado, where she posts videos to 80,000 followers about holistic wellness and bringing up her little girl.
She wants Donald Trump to win the presidential election.
About 70 miles north in the suburbs of Denver is Camille, a passionate supporter of racial and gender equality who lives with a gaggle of rescue dogs and has voted Democrat for the past 15 years.
The two women are poles apart politically – but they both believe assassination attempts against Mr Trump were staged.
Recently, while addressing an inter-religious meeting of young people in Singapore, Pope Francis stated that “every religion is a way to arrive at God.”
Francis, who apparently deviated from his prepared speech and spoke extemporaneously, said that no religion should be given priority and that individuals should instead focus on parity between beliefs.
Traumatised America doesn’t care anymore
Barely 24 hours after an armed man was found within several hundred yards of Donald Trump on his golf course in Florida, my local newspaper ran a piece with the following headline: “Would-be assassin soured on Trump: Who did he want as presidential and VP candidates?”
Great question. What, for that matter, did the wannabe killer, Ryan Routh think of the impending match-up on Monday Night Football? What were his thoughts on electric vehicles, school choice, weight loss drugs and parenting?
Police believe the mass shooting that killed four people in Alabama overnight was a targeted hit gone wrong – as the continue to search for the culprits.
Gunfire erupted in the Five Points South entertainment district outside Hush hookah and cigar lounge in Birmingham just after 11pm on Saturday night – injuring at least 18 others.
Two men and a woman were killed at the scene in the 2000 block of Magnolia Avenue, near the University of Alabama, while a fourth male victim died in hospital.
Oh oh!
"These mass shootings have more to do with culture than they do criminality."

Each of the pagers that exploded on their Hezbollah owners across Lebanon on Tuesday, injuring thousands of the terror group’s operatives, was individually detonated, with the attackers knowing who was being targeted, where he was, and whether others were in close proximity, Channel 12 claims.
In a lengthy report quoting Israeli and foreign sources, the TV channel says those behind the attack were determined to ensure that only the person carrying the pager would be hurt by the blast.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expects Canadians to hand him a fourth term because the Liberal gang has more work to do.
These recent examples expose how some Liberal MPs, above being bothered with pesky things like accountability and ethics, have ‘served’ Canadians.
As the first anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 pogrom in southern Israel approaches, Jewish communities feel mounting dread, imagining the nefarious ways in which our enemies may choose to “commemorate” it.
Earlier this month, a Pakistani man in Canada on a student visa was intercepted near the U.S. border, allegedly en route to New York with a “stated goal of slaughtering, in the name of ISIS, as many Jewish people as possible,” according to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.
This was not a Palestinian, or someone affiliated with Hamas — just some random antisemitic Islamist eagerly answering the call to “globalize the intefadeh” on what jihadists consider a glorious anniversary. How many others are out there who aren’t under RCMP surveillance? It’s rational to wonder.
Faint hope is better than none.
‘Alarming trend’ of more international students claiming asylum: minister
A “growing number” of international students are claiming asylum in order to stay in Canada after being allowed in on student visas, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says, calling it an “alarming trend.”
Speaking to Mercedes Stephenson in an interview that aired Sunday on The West Block, Miller said those claimants are using the international student program as a “backdoor entry into Canada,” often to lower their tuition fees, and that universities and colleges must improve their screening and monitoring practices to weed out bad actors.
He said his department is studying the issue and suggested further reforms to the program were being explored.
They want a new Canada, one that doesn’t include Canadians. Someone has to vote for them after all.
The two principal foreign and strategic crises of this year, Ukraine and Israel, the federal government has a defensible record on the first but not on the second. In both cases it appears to be motivated entirely by domestic political equations without a glance at strategic requirements, let alone the course of national honour. For a country where Prime Ministers Chrétien, Harper, and Justin Trudeau have allowed our military capabilities to atrophy so badly that the chief assurance of our national security is to keep the telephone number of the Pentagon constantly at hand when we need the Americans to protect us, this government’s policy toward the Gaza war, in addition to being completely mistaken, is also extremely pompous. (Paul Martin wanted to explore the possibilities of Canada taking responsibility for its own defense, but his government was defeated before he could get to grips with this issue; the fact that he even thought of it should not be forgotten.)
