The Université du Québec à Montréal says it has informed pro-Palestinian protesters who erected an encampment on campus it will need to “take actions” if the protest continues to impede access to some of its buildings.
In a statement issued Saturday, the university said its priority is ensuring all of its students’ safety, including those taking part in the encampment, as well as maintaining free movement on campus and access to its pavilions.
Ohio sex worker had more than 200 clients while knowing she was HIV-positive: ‘Risky business’
The Court Challenges Program, under which people who claim to have a legitimate grievance against the operation of laws may be publicly subsidized to challenge the wording or implementation of those laws, is on its face an enlightened measure and a commendable recognition by the Canadian federal government that it and other governments in Canada could have inadvertently failed to see damage that could potentially result from ostensibly well-intended legislation and regulation. In principle, any admission by government of its potential fallibility is a good thing that would seem to moderate what Shakespeare called ”the insolence of office:” the blank authoritarian inhumanity with which governments frequently dictate people’s conduct and exact taxes and submission from them. Unfortunately, the appearance of a becoming humility helping to shape government conduct can be deceiving and in this case everything depends on the causes that the Court Challenges Program actually supports.
The International Criminal Court Chief is seeking arrest warrants for Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, and Mohammed Deif, its Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview on Monday.
“Today.. we’ve applied for warrants to the pre-trial chamber of the ICC in relation to three individuals that are Hamas members,” Khan said.
A 14-year-old New Brunswick Jewish girl was jumped from behind, slammed onto a parking lot pavement, and savagely pummelled by a 16-year-old Muslim female classmate.
Premier Blaine Higgs determined the “brutal attack” was an indisputable “example of blatant antisemitism.”
The hardline Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi, has died in a helicopter crash in foggy weather in the mountains near the border with Azerbaijan.
The charred wreckage of the aircraft, which crashed on Sunday carrying Raisi, as well as the foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and six other passengers and crew, was found early on Monday after an overnight search in blizzard conditions.
Fears had been growing for Raisi, a 63-year-old ultraconservative, after contact was lost with the helicopter on Sunday as it navigated fog-covered mountains in north-west Iran.
Justin Trudeau must have thought he had an easy win coming by raising the capital gains tax inclusion rate in his budget. The plan was to shift the conversation from the much-hated carbon tax to the capital gains levy, and paint all those opposed as on the side of the rich.
When Canada, the United States, and Mexico combined forces to bid on holding the 2026 version of the FIFA World Cup, many people were intrigued. When this united bid beat out Morocco by a vote of 134-65 at the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow on June 13, 2018, their intrigue quickly turned into euphoria.
The German government’s laissez-faire approach to Islamism has moved the problem into a taboo zone that has strengthened the Islamists.
More than a thousand Islamic extremists recently marched through the streets of Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city, demanding that the European Union’s most populous and powerful country be reconstituted as an Islamic state governed by sharia. The demonstration, organized by a fast-growing Islamist group called Muslim Interaktiv, was allowed to proceed after left-wing parties in Hamburg’s legislature rejected a petition by right-wing parties to prohibit the event.
Four years ago, U.S. state, local, and federal governments pushed “social-distancing” policies separating Americans six feet away from other people everywhere they went. Now former National Institute of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins has admitted no “science or evidence” ever backed these heavy-handed, comprehensive restrictions — another key proof the left’s war on so-called “disinformation” is so dangerous.
This is no country for old men. It’s no country for young men, either.
And that could be said about the greater Western world.
Men are under attack. Period. Especially straight white ones. Even more so if they happen to be Christians or Jews, as well. (Anyone who denies this is simply too ridiculous to acknowledge.)
Joe Biden only knows how to give one speech to black audiences and it’s all some variation on “they’re gonna put y’all back in chains.”
Speaking to the NAACP, a group which was last relevant around the same time as Joe Biden was making up lies about being a star athlete and talented lawyer, Biden claimed that Republicans are racists because they’re ending racial discrimination.
No company is quite so inseparable from the World Wide Web as Google, which made searching the internet an eponymous verb. The web made Google rich, too, but this week Google relegated it to a submenu. In a design of its next-generation home page that the company showed at its annual I/O developer conference this week, the demotion is quite clear.
Searching now returns a blancmange of content in special pull-out boxes, apps and features, some of it artificially generated. The days of lists of links are over — if you want to see web pages the tech giant now offers a “new ‘Web’ filter” that will refine your search to only see web pages. This may startle Generation Xers whose first taste of the online world was via a web browser, but the web has become a legacy format like the DVD.
A medium designed for the masses has been colonised by middle-class Tristrams.
Strike a light! New research published this week from the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre has exposed that in film, TV and radio, just over eight per cent of ‘creatives’ are from working-class backgrounds – the lowest percentage in a decade. This does not surprise me in the slightest, though it is always nice to have some juicy stats to confirm what one already suspected.
A wealthy Austin neighborhood has ‘given the finger’ to the state’s capital and voted en masse to leave the city amid a spiraling crime crisis.
Lost Creek, a rich enclave in the west side of Austin, saw an overwhelming majority of 91 percent of residents vote to break away from the city during a May 4 election.
Many never wanted to be part of City of Austin to begin with when it was annexed nine years ago in 2015.
