Bad Immigration Policy At Work: UK Teachers to get free speech protection from blasphemy claims

France is more sophisticated than the UK. They let Muslims kill blasphemer teachers.

Teachers will be given protection from claims of blasphemy by religious groups under proposals set out in a government-commissioned report.

Legal guarantees upholding teachers’ rights to freedom of expression should be introduced, according to the recommendations. Schools would also be barred from automatically suspending staff or pupils in response to blasphemy complaints.

New guidance to all schools would also make clear that unlike sex education, schools have no obligation to consult parents on content that may insult certain religious groups nor do they have a duty to consult religious or community groups.

I can’t wait for the Gazan refugee influx.

Who let him in?

Former riding president alleges meddling in Conservative GTA nomination

A former Conservative is accusing party brass of blocking him from running to be nominated as a candidate in the next election.

Anthony Yacub, 24, said he believes the party made him ineligible for the nomination in order to run a “star” candidate in his riding, currently held by Liberal MP Jennifer O’Connell.

“it’s a real slap in the face to grassroots people,” he told CBC News. “What does it say to them? It basically says, ‘We don’t really care what you think.'”

Israel recovers bodies of three hostages, including Shani Louk

Israel has recovered the bodies of three hostages who were killed at the Nova music festival, including Shani Louk.

The bodies of the three were found by the IDF in Jabalia in northern Gaza, the army said.

Carson Jerema: The Freedom Convoy was bad. The Hamas camps are much worse

With apologies to the Headstones, in Canada everything is legal, even if you get caught. Especially trespassing if you have the right politics.

Three years ago, Freedom Convoy protesters entrenched themselves in downtown Ottawa, illegally blockading roads and disrupting the lives of thousands. The protest went on for three weeks in large part due to enormous policing failures that stemmed from sheer incompetence.

How Hamas became radical chic

Hamas supporters – Avenue Road

Palestinians are painted as the new proletariat

Any thinking Jew today hears the alarm resounding like a shofar blast in days of old, announcing rising floodwaters or marauding Cossacks. Confronted with a worldwide, increasingly violent explosion of antisemitism, the mind turns to dark mysteries. Why have radical groups of all stripes, including all the usual suspects, coalesced in support of a suicidal death cult that raped, tortured, and murdered 1,200 Israelis and has publicly pledged to eliminate the Jewish state?

Kielburger Mom’s Defamation Lawsuit Against Canadaland to Go to Trial

A defamation lawsuit filed by the mother of Marc and Craig Kielburger against the Canadaland podcast and its host will head to trial after an Ontario court rejected an application to have it thrown out, finding there is reason to believe the claim has “substantial merit.”

Canadaland, its host Jesse Brown and others involved in the podcast had sought to have the lawsuit—which centres on an August 2021 episode about the Kielburger-founded WE Organization—dismissed under legislation meant to protect people from litigation intended to silence critics or public debate.

Humanity has no strong protection against AI, experts warn

The world currently has no “strong” protections against the dangers of AI, a landmark scientific report has warned.

A panel of 75 experts from 30 countries has also concluded that developers building AI systems “understand little about how their systems operate” and scientific knowledge is “very limited”.

They are critical of AI companies for failing to provide enough access to safety inspectors.

Canadian euthanasia doctor gushes about how much she enjoys killing people

In the recently released BBC documentary Better Off Dead?, disability rights activist Liz Carr interviewed Dr. Ellen Wiebe, Canada’s most notorious euthanasia doctor. Wiebe is also an abortionist and an activist with Dying With Dignity, the euthanasia lobby group seeking to expand eligibility for assisted suicide in Canada even further. Wiebe’s attempted defence of Canada’s euthanasia regime backfired when throughout her interview, she laughed and smiled as she discussed ending the lives of patients.

Why Affordable Housing Policies Have Failed

Canada now plays host to 807,750 foreign students, 770,000 temporary workers, and 500,000 new immigrants being admitted annually. As a group, they represent mass immigration. Most of these people settle and are concentrated in a few parts of Canada, nowhere more so than southern Ontario and southern BC. Their numbers are rising annually and the 500,000 new immigrants drove our population over 40 million this year. We have the fastest growing population in the Group of Seven (G7). Since 2002, immigration, excluding students and temporary workers, has totalled 5.9 million.

The Carbon-Offset Game Is Up

A major environmentalist group has found that the carbon offsets beloved by far-left activists are ineffective at best.

Carbon offsetting is the global-warming equivalent of the ancient religious practice of buying indulgences. Carbon offsets offer a financial mechanism to compensate for an entity’s emission of greenhouse gases by paying someone else to reduce or remove their own emissions such as by planting trees, which absorb carbon dioxide. Theoretically, this enables emissions to be canceled out, but in reality carbon offsets are plagued by corruption and ineffectiveness.

‘Magic David called’: David Copperfield repeatedly contacted Jeffrey Epstein

The message pads appear a little faded, but the handwriting on the spiral-bound notebooks is clear enough.

Staff at Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion in Florida’s Palm Beach used the pads to jot down the names of the people who had called the financier, and between 2004 and 2005, one well-known person appeared to be calling persistently.

Not Prince Andrew or Bill Gates, or even Bill Clinton, the former US president, though all of them have come under a spotlight over their relationships with the disgraced billionaire.

The name on the pads is one that – until recently – has had far less scrutiny: David Copperfield.

3 Moments ‘Star Witness’ Michael Cohen Just Undermined Bragg’s ‘Get Trump’ Case

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s flimsy case against former President Donald Trump rests on the testimony of its star witness, convicted liar Michael Cohen. But unsurprisingly, Cohen — and his allegations against Trump — fell apart on the witness stand under cross-examination by Trump’s defense team on Thursday.

Even CNN couldn’t help but admit it.

A Landmark on the Road to Decline

The normalization of antisemitic terror we have witnessed among protestors since the October 7 attacks on Israel is a portentous landmark on the West’s road to civilizational degeneration. Every dimension of our socio-political order––all three branches of the federal government, and many blue-state governments; popular entertainment and high-brow culture; mainline churches; corporate boards and C-suites; national security and defense agencies, and education from K-12 to universities–– has been corrupted by illiberal, if not antihuman ideologies that undercut the foundations both of our political freedom and equality, and the morality and ethics that nourish both.

I spent years studying American communism. Here’s what I learned

I was struck by the mystery of why so many intelligent and admirable people remained so loyal for so long to a fundamentally flawed movement

I’ll leave it to future historians to puzzle out the reasons why, but in the second decade of the 21st century, in the unlikely setting of the most thoroughly capitalist country in world history, large numbers of Americans, mostly young, displayed a new interest in socialist ideas, values and policy proposals, and in turn in the often neglected history of socialism and communism in the United States.

Having written three books early in my scholarly career dealing with one or another aspect of the tangled history of American communism, the last appearing in 1990, I figured I’d said all I had to say on the subject, and turned to other topics. Enough time had passed by the time of the 2010s socialist revival that the several score ageing communists and ex-communists whom I’d interviewed for my early books were now long dead.
