GOLDSTEIN: Criticizing flawed immigration and refugee policies is not racism

When Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government dismisses legitimate criticism of Canada’s immigration and refugee policies as racism, it is essentially calling most Canadians racist.

This is nothing new for the Liberals.

It was the same tactic the Justin Trudeau government employed.

Civilians pay the price after army kills Mexican cartel boss

El Mencho’s death has sparked mass violence in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco state, but it is residents who have been the victims of the war on gangs

Arturo García was just finishing breakfast with his girlfriend last Sunday when he heard the screams. Armed men, their faces covered, were running through the market, spraying the stalls with petrol. They stopped cars and poured petrol over the people inside. Then they set everything alight.

“I could see people on fire,” García told me, one morning in Guadalajara last week. “They were screaming for help.”

Canada’s Leader Heads to Asia and Australia to Build ‘Middle Power’ Bonds

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, in a high-profile speech last month, described the Trump era as a rupture for countries like his, and called on global “middle powers” to band together to survive in the tumult of a changing United States.

This week, he is building on his plan to construct a middle-power sphere of trade and deep bonds by visiting India, Australia and Japan.

Accompanied by several ministers and provincial leaders, Mr. Carney wants to seal agreements to sell more oil, gas, and other natural resources abundant in Canada, secure investments and finalize defense deals with key Indo-Pacific countries.

Vogue editor flees first class over ‘cabin full of white men’

A former editor at Vogue stormed out of a first-class cabin on an American Airlines flight because all of the other passengers were “white, middle-aged men”.

“I just downgraded myself from first class to business class on my flight to Milan. In a cabin of 6, 5 of the passengers were white middle-aged men,” she wrote on Threads, the social media site.

The eight-month plot that led to Trump’s attack on Iran

Not long ago, Donald Trump had little patience with the idea of full-scale wars with Iran.

The 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June last year, he said, could have “gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East”, had Mr Trump himself not bluntly told Benjamin Netanyahu it had to stop.

Eight months later, Mr Trump has ordered a full-scale bombing campaign aimed at nothing less than the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran itself. This time, he and Netanyahu seem to be working hand-in-hand on the same project.
