B.C.’s new law banning use of illicit drugs close to public areas — including playgrounds, beaches, bus stops, businesses and residences — infringes on drug users’ constitutional rights, according to a new lawsuit.
Earlier this year, the province began a three-year pilot decriminalizing possession of small quantities of illicit drugs. Last month, it introduced an amendment banning drug use near various public and recreational spaces to encourage people to use overdose prevention sites.
One-time Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who was accused of attacking five women in the private bedroom suite of his downtown Toronto office building, was found guilty by a Toronto jury on Sunday of four counts of sexual assault.
He was acquitted of one of five counts of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.
Nygard, 82, who wore a black parka in court, didn’t appear to show any emotion as the verdict was handed down on the jurors’ fifth day of deliberations.
Maybe stay away from the guy with the Stripper pole in his jet.
The coverage in the United States of the war between Israel and Hamas is comically lopsided in the Palestinians’ favor. That much is not in question. But the reasons for the disparity are worth teasing out.
When Hamas attacked Israel in a genocidal pogrom targeting men, women, and children, it was not the start of a war with the traditional goals of strategic victory or conquest, but a war to annihilate the Jewish People.
Let’s tell it like it is: The Arab/Israeli conflict has never been about self-determination for Palestinian-Arabs, who have no historical footprint or ancient pedigree in the land, but about the destruction of Israel and extermination of the Jews, whose ancestral connection to their homeland is, unlike Palestinian Arab claims, incontrovertible.
The root of the conflict – the true basis that nobody wants to acknowledge – is the doctrinal hatred of Jews.
A typical song by Peso Pluma, one of Mexico’s most popular singers, might start with a guitar and a trumpet, sounding like something for the older crowd – but then come the lyrics telling of drug shipments, stacks of cash and diamond-encrusted pistols.
Peso Pluma has produced some of the most notorious recent examples of narcocorridos – ballads celebrating the exploits of the Mexican underworld that are hugely popular not just at home but across Latin America and the US.
One of them – a paean to a foot soldier of the Sinaloa cartel – probably led to recent death threats he received in the border city of Tijuana, forcing him to cancel concerts.
My God but Mexico is messed up.
I like MMA, having trained in it (in a mostly risk-free, exercise way) for many years. I also really like MMA fighters, who have proven to be people who are brave, not only in the ring but also outside of the ring, when it comes to standing against woke leftism. The most recent example is Joel “King Bau” Bauman, who walked into the fight arena wearing a shirt that asks just the right question about Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book.
I have avoided a thorough reading or viewing of the Hamas atrocities on Oct 7. I know enough of what evil is and what can be done to the human body, especially that of vulnerable children and girls, that I don’t need all the graphic detail.
‘Daddy, Daddy, God, why am I alive?’ – A harrowing report from a journalist who watched raw footage of the Hamas Pogrom of 7 October
On Monday 23 October, at the IDF Glilot military base in Herzliya, alongside at least 100 journalists, I was invited to a screening, exclusive to international media. We were warned in advance that the materials we were going to see would be raw and unedited footage, including documentation of murder and other visually gruesome materials. We were also informed that we would not be allowed to bring phones or any other recording devices into the screening auditorium. However, we were allowed to write about what we saw.
A few days ago, Julien Bensimhon, a Parisian lawyer, fell into conversation with a Jewish neighbour in the staircase of the building where his practice is located: she wanted to know whether it was safe to continue to display a mezuzah, a traditional decorative case, on the front door of her flat. “She is really worried that people will come and attack her,” he said.
Bensimhon understood: he, too, is Jewish, and members of his own family were among the 70,000 French Jews deported from the country during the Second World War and murdered by the Nazis.
The BBC has become embroiled in a trans row after a training course created to increase the number of female production staff was opened up to anyone identifying as a woman.
The six-day course, called BBC: Female Self-Shooters, was designed to teach women how to become camera operators – a role that has long been male-dominated in companies across the industry.
An advert shared around the Corporation says of the course: ‘Aimed at female (and those identifying as female) TV producers or those at producer level, who will be in a position to use the acquired skills after the training, e.g. as 2nd camera operators, shooting taster tapes or directing your own self-shot film. If self-shooting camera skills are a barrier to your progress, this is the course for you!’
Protesters dressed as Hamas terrorists, praising Hitler and carrying antisemitic placards who “would not have looked out of place in Nazi Germany” are being hunted by police amid anger at the failure to intervene during the pro-Palestinian march on Armistice Day.
A woman marched through central London carrying a placard featuring the Jewish Star of David intertwined with a swastika above the slogan, “No British politician should be a ‘friend of Israel’”.
A group of scientists is proposing government-mandated cigarette-style caution labels on meat packages that could read, “Warning: Eating meat contributes to climate change.” The anti-meat scientists, who falsely claim meat consumption is detrimental to health and the environment, began pushing for the labels after conducting a study at the UK’s Durham University.
The researchers took a group of 1,000 meat-eating adults and split them into four groups. Depending on what group a participant was in, they were shown photos of hot meals assigned climate, health, or pandemic warning labels or no warning label at all.
This elite ideology has cultivated and inflamed ethnic tensions.
Speaking in Washington, DC, in September, British home secretary Suella Braverman declared that multiculturalism has ‘failed in Europe’. To illustrate her point, she highlighted the numerous violent clashes, involving distinct ethnic groups, that have erupted ‘on the streets’ of Malmo, Paris, Brussels and Leicester. Had Braverman delivered the speech a few weeks later, she would no doubt have also drawn attention to the Islamist-dominated anti-Israel protests that have taken over European capitals on a weekly basis, following Hamas’s pogrom in southern Israel on 7 October.

I bet there will be a federal election by the end of 2024, well before the Liberal and NDP supply-and-confidence agreement runs out in 2025.
Think of the House of Commons as a prison ship adrift on the high seas, on which each deck of inmates has become stir crazy and begun gazing at one another the way coyotes contemplate hares.
Trudeau will run the clock, he’s a narcissist.
… Gould says the situation has left her and others feeling that the nature of antisemitism in Canada has changed and threats to the Jewish community have increased.
Yea sure, it changed overnight, what a mystery. That translates as “Oh Crap we can’t blame anti-semitism on white men anymore.”
Never liked her. Deceitful Liberal.
For all those who pushed Multiculturalism, Diversity and DEI and called those who disapproved of Muslim immigration “Racists” enjoy the “Changed Antisemitism”.
