‘No whites’ graffiti in Birmingham investigated by police

Racist graffiti in Birmingham reading “No whites” and “No whites allowed” is being investigated by police, The Telegraph can reveal.

The graffiti appeared in three locations across the inner-city Alum Rock neighbourhood last week.

CCTV footage obtained by The Telegraph shows the moment a hooded figure approaches the first location, a wall outside a primary school, at around 1.20am on Thursday.

This is also Birmingham …

Not your father’s Britain.

It’s past time for all of us to heed Jack Layton and head to the Velvet Touch

Velvet Touch Refugee

Pierre Poilievre’s overheated insults. Canadians of all stripes being nasty to each other online. It’s past time for all of us to heed Jack Layton

Thirteen years ago this week, former NDP leader Jack Layton took his final breath on earth. Before leaving, he drafted a letter to Canadians with words we should revisit as we enter the end stage of this federal Parliament.

For those who don’t remember, Layton closed his letter with an appeal: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic.”

Why would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks remains an infuriating enigma weeks after shooting

Five weeks since the first attempted assassination of a current or former president in over 40 years, the public still has precious few answers about 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Since his identity became known, the FBI and members of Congress have been trying to piece together a motive, scrutinizing every aspect of his life both online and off.

Even in his hometown of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, a quiet suburb of Pittsburgh, neighbors say the Crooks family was always an enigma — and continues to be.

You could ask the Deep State but I think they’re busy with Kamala.

Government not planning major reset amid persistent headwinds for Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s inner circle is not planning a major reset in the face of persistent headwinds for the incumbent government and will instead focus on the issues they’ve already prioritized, with housing and cost of living topping the list, according to two government officials.

However, one of the officials did not rule out changes in the future, saying if they do happen it will be in the wake of the caucus retreat in B.C. next month.

US accuses software firm of driving rent hikes

The US has sued a leading software company that collects and sells rental data, accusing it of subverting competition between landlords and feeding the country’s housing crisis.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has claimed RealPage‘s software algorithm meant rival landlords were sharing what would otherwise be private information, allegedly allowing them to illegally co-ordinate and raise rents.

“Everybody knows the rent is too damn high and we allege this is one of the reasons why,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a press conference announcing the lawsuit.

U.S. wants Canada to hit military spending target ‘as rapidly as humanly possible’: Biden’s adviser

Canada and other countries that are laggards when it comes to military spending should hit the NATO-imposed target of spending two per cent of GDP “as rapidly as humanly possible,” U.S. President Joe Biden’s national security adviser told reporters on the sidelines of the Liberal cabinet retreat in Halifax on Sunday.

Asked by CBC News if he’s satisfied with Canada’s recently announced plan to hit that spending target in eight years’ time, Jake Sullivan said the Biden administration has pushed NATO countries to meet the spending threshold, and while some have complied, “there is still a set of countries that hasn’t — Canada is one of them.”

Liberals say they will rein in temporary foreign worker program now that their Great Replacement Scam has done its intended damage of altering Canada’s demographic

Housing Minister Sean Fraser said Sunday that the federal government will curb the number of temporary foreign workers (TFWs) coming into the country after a post-COVID surge that some researchers say has driven up youth and immigrant unemployment rates.

Speaking to reporters in Dartmouth, N.S., before the start of a Liberal cabinet retreat in neighbouring Halifax, Fraser justified the government’s past decision — made while he was immigration minister — to relax regulations around the TFW program as necessary at a time of pandemic-related staff shortages.

But he acknowledged that the dynamic is different now that there are signs of stress in the labour market.

Historic Influx? It was a Great Replacement scam to secure future votes and destroy the value of labour. Fraser is a despicable liar.
