Cyprus: Mass Migration Leads to Demographic Replacement

The Republic of Cyprus, whose population is approximately 1.2 million, is struggling with a significant mass migration crisis that is gradually leading to the demographic replacement of the island’s native population. Since at least 2016, illegal Muslim migrants have flooded Cyprus via the north, which has been occupied illegally by the Turkish military since 1974.

Cyprus now hosts the most refugees per capita within the European Union. The Republic receives the highest number of asylum seekers relative to its population anywhere in the EU.

Support for Conservatives, Pierre Poilievre is growing, Leger poll suggests … as young people devastated by generational economic harm caused by Trudeau Liberals shift right

OTTAWA — A new poll suggests support for Pierre Poilievre is growing, and most Canadians are optimistic about their household finances.

Support for the Tories was up one point to 41 per cent in the latest Leger tracking poll, which asks respondents for their voting intentions each month.

Fed up with economic issues, many young voters are moving to the right

… At a visceral level, such people simply can’t grasp the sense of futility that so many young Canadians feel at being unable to afford a home. Or perhaps a young couple was able to put down a down payment, but now confront skyrocketing mortgage payments, even as inflation eats away at their wages.

Tarion facing ‘largest claim event’ in its history as builders walk away from projects — and home buyers lose deposits

Ontario’s real estate consumer watchdog says it is facing the “largest claim event” in its history, with the organization expecting to owe more than $90 million to home buyers this year as builders walk away from home and condo projects.

In its 2024 business plan, Tarion said the claims are expected for deposits from homebuyers who purchased homes or condos from builders that either cancelled projects or were operating illegally, and didn’t comply with warranty legislation.

Toronto’s new takeout item bylaw comes into effect Friday. Here’s how it’ll impact your food orders

Your next fast food order could look different starting this week.

A new Toronto bylaw coming into effect this Friday will require businesses to ask customers if they want single-use food accessory items with their order. It’s part of a broader program by the city to reduce the unnecessary waste of single-use items, and a nation-wide shift away from single-use items.

I’m going to ask for cutlery made of depleted uranium.

Hamas Joins US Leftists in Hailing Airman Who Self-Immolated: ‘Immortal’ in Palestinian Memory

Hamas, along with some prominent left-wingers in the United States, this week valorized an airman who lit himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., in protest of the Jewish state’s war in Gaza—with the terror group saying he would live “immortal” in Palestinian memory.

“The heroic pilot Aaron Bushnell will remain immortal in the memory of our Palestinian people and the free people of the world, and a symbol of the spirit of global human solidarity with our people and their just cause,” Hamas said in a statement Tuesday, according to Al Jazeera’s Arabic news platform.

Peter Menzies: New Online Harms Act Gives Appointed Commissioners Too Much Power

Canada has launched legislation reining in social media and reducing its citizens’ freedom to express themselves online.

And while supporters of the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) believe tighter control of speech and images by government is necessary to make platforms such as X and Facebook “safer,” it’s unclear if that will be the case.

This is totalitarian.

Net Zero is a war on the working class

It’s official. Net Zero will make us poorer. A new report finds that the British government’s climate-change policies are likely to ‘make the poor poorer, and push struggling communities further into deprivation and exclusion’.

Our Journey to Net Zero, by the Institute for Community Studies (ICS), shows that the transition to Net Zero will cause a rise in unemployment, as carbon-intensive industries are forcibly restructured. Food will become more expensive. And the eco-friendly changes we’ll all be forced to make, such as insulating our homes or switching to electric cars, will be extremely difficult ’for low-income households’. The ICS concludes that the poorest 40 per cent of households are at risk of falling into ‘transition poverty’.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives say they support Ukraine — but won’t commit to keeping Justin Trudeau’s latest agreement with Kyiv

OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives are condemning Justin Trudeau for “letting down” Ukraine after the prime minister signed a new $3.02 billion aid deal with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but are vague on whether a Poilievre government would abide by the 10-year agreement.

Asked if the Conservatives would commit to honouring the bilateral security agreement sealed last weekend in Ukraine, the office of Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre sidestepped a direct answer, saying only that Conservatives would “continue to support Ukraine in its defence against Russia’s illegal invasion.”

Oh c’mon Star, much of what Trudeau has promised Ukraine is still “in the mail.”

Chicago cop sues city for right to change his race after department allows officers to change genders

A Chicago police officer is suing the city to change his race on his official records after the department said it would allow officers to freely change their gender to match their identity.

Mohammad Yusuf, 43, said in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed last week that he is looking to change from “Caucasian” as he “currently identifies as Egyptian and African American.” However, the Chicago Police Department is not allowing him to change his race.

Hamas Is More Popular With Gen Z Than Hunter Biden

The militant group Hamas, which killed thousands in Israel and took hundreds of others hostage, are viewed in a better light by Generation Z than Hunter Biden, according to a new poll.

The war between Israel and Hamas, a militant group designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization, has resulted in approximately 30,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, including some 12,300 children, the Associated Press reported, citing the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel declared war after Hamas attacked and killed about 1,200 people and took 240 people as hostages.

Online harms act won’t ban ‘awful but lawful’ content online, says justice minister

Justice Minister Arif Virani says the Online Harms Act won’t give the federal government the power to determine what is and isn’t appropriate content.

The bill, tabled by the Liberal government Monday, includes an amendment to define “hatred” in Canada’s Criminal Code. That definition, Virani said, does not include insulting or offensive content, but rather recognized hate speech like calling for genocide.

“People insult groups or people or races or religions all of the time. That’s going to continue to be awful but lawful,” Virani told The Current’s Matt Galloway.

“But when you call for the extermination of a people, you’re hitting a hate standard that’s already been entrenched by the courts.”

From the river to the sea Virani will invent the crime that fits me.
