Paulina Brandberg, Minister for Gender Equality, told journalists that the government would review Swedish legislation to determine if there are specific grounds for revoking residence permits. However, she listed potential examples of “lifestyle deficiencies,” including welfare fraud, debts, dishonest lifestyles, drug abuse, as well as connections with criminal networks or violent and extremist groups that “threaten fundamental Swedish values.”

h/t Everyone!
First responders were still struggling to identify the charred remains of Israeli civilians butchered on Oct. 7 when Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario president Fred Hahn boasted of the atrocities committed by Hamas as the “power of resistance.” Hahn’s comments came as Zaka, an Israeli volunteer emergency rescue group, sometimes only found the teeth of terror victims; at other points, MRI imaging revealed a parent and child in a death embrace, their spines inseparably twisted like barbed wire as they were ignited in flames.
… CAA also dropped Saira Rao and Regina Jackson — who co-wrote the 2022 book “White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better” — over their social media posts. Rao had written on X, “Zionists are starting to panic that more and more of the world sees them for the bloodthirsty genocidal ghouls they are.”
Rao tells Variety that Hollywood is “punishing people of color for speaking out.” She adds, “It’s disgusting. The genocide is indisputable. You can watch it on live TV. CAA will be on the wrong side of history. And shame on CAA for doing that to Maha.” A CAA spokesperson says Rao was not dropped for supporting Palestinians but for posts deemed antisemitic.
I just don’t understand Sarandon’s comments at all, they make no sense.

On Thursday, November 9, an aging Right Honourable Brian Mulroney stood before the World Jewish Congress in New York to accept the organization’s highest honour, the Theodor Herzl Award, in recognition of his efforts to combat antisemitism and his unwavering support for Israel and the Jewish people. A shadow of his former prime ministerial self, he spoke with humility and wisdom but also the conviction of experience when he said, “The prime minister sets both the agenda and the tone in Ottawa.”
An official on Maryland’s Commission on Hate Crime Response compared Israel to Nazi Germany in a series of social-media posts. It claimed that reports of Hamas murdering Jewish babies were “fake.”
For several decades now, some economists have supported the idea of carbon taxes. An ideal carbon tax, they argue, is uniform across the economy, fuel/technology neutral, in lieu of — not atop of — additional regulations and subsidies, and revenue neutral.
On Tuesday, X/Twitter filed a lawsuit against Media Matters for America (MMfA), the media arm of political smear artist David Brock.
Brock made his living in the nineties attacking Democrats, pushing the Paula Jones story and writing The Seduction of Hillary Rodham, until announcing a religious conversion via his 1997 Esquire piece “Confessions of a Right-Wing Hitman” and moving to team blue to head up orgs like Media Matters and Correct the Record. Brock is a unique figure in our history, as perhaps no American has ever turned his face so completely inside out in public.
Should be an interesting trial.
When Justin Trudeau spoke at the NATO summit in Lithuania in July, he trumpeted Canada’s future defence investments, from the $38.6 billion earmarked to upgrade NORAD to the $19-billion purchase of 88 F35 fighter jets.
“Canada is safeguarding freedom and security around the world,” he said.
But it is always better to judge politicians by their results, rather than their intentions.
TikToker Mizzy has been told his pranks “are not funny” by a judge as he was jailed for the first time.
The social media star, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, was found guilty of two counts of breaching a court order prohibiting him from sharing videos of people without their consent at his trial last month.
In one of the offending videos, passersby were visible in the background as Mizzy said to the camera: “The UK law is a joke.”

Turkish Islamists are planning to sail toward Gaza, possibly repeating a 2010 incident that triggered an international crisis. Will American naval assets, sent to the Mediterranean to avert a widened war, prevent the looming clash?
Up to 1,000 boats and ships will reportedly gather in Turkey tomorrow and start toward Gaza on Thursday. The flotilla will be manned by 4,500 people from 40 countries, “including anti-Zionist Jews,” the Turkish website Haber 7 reports, and 313 Russian and 104 Spanish vessels. Only 12 Turkish boats will join the flotilla.
As the need for food banks skyrockets across Canada, several in Ontario are reporting an increase in international students seeking help, with some appearing to be exploiting the services or unaware of how they work. Two Ontario food banks have even decided to close their doors to international students.
“Due to the increased visitation to the food bank in the last couple of years, we helped students in September but noticed that there was tremendous abuse and manipulation of our services. We have now stopped the practice of serving them so we can concentrate on our regular clients and refugees,” the head of a food bank in Oshawa told The Epoch Times.
The European Commission is set to announce continued payments of development aid to the Palestinian territories, despite acknowledging the “risk” of funding Hamas.
In the wake of the October 7th terror attacks against Israel, Enlargement Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi announced a freeze of aid to Palestine. His announcement had clearly not been signed off on, with senior officials quickly scrambling to contradict the comments. But they still appear to have prompted an official internal audit on funding.
