‘Never imagined this’: Indian village grapples with interfaith couple’s killing

The murder of an interfaith couple and the arrest of the woman’s brothers by the police for the alleged crime has shocked a small village in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh state where residents have lived in harmony for years.

The bodies of 19-year-old Kajal, a Hindu, and 27-year-old Mohammad Arman, a Muslim, were found buried near a riverbank on the outskirts of Umri village on 21 January.

Police said they were beaten to death with a spade two days earlier, allegedly by Kajal’s three brothers, who have been arrested. They are in custody and have not commented on the killings.

Why a Growing Number of Canadians Are Leaving the Country for Good—and What’s Driving Them Away

Lauren Chervinski left Canada two years ago and says she has no regrets. The 34-year-old Winnipeg native, who lived in Vancouver for her last seven years in Canada, moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, with her husband in August 2024. She says her new home offers increased financial opportunity, cheaper real estate prices, and safer streets.

Running a small yacht repair company with her husband, Chervinski said they saw their revenue grow by 50 percent in the first year.

“The most common theme I hear among people who want to leave Canada is that they’re not confident in the direction that the country is headed,” she said in an interview, noting that she’s heard this feedback from Canadians she’s helped move as part of her consulting business, as well as the expats she’s met in Florida.

Canada to Claim Stellantis, GM Owe Hundreds of Millions to Government

The move could escalate tension between Ottawa and the automakers, who have scaled back production in the country

OTTAWA—Canada estimates that officials will aim to recover “hundreds of millions of dollars” from Stellantis and General Motors after the companies scaled back production in the country, Industry Minister Melanie Joly said Tuesday.

Joly told reporters she would provide more details in the coming days. Seeking compensation of that scale is likely to escalate tension between Ottawa and North American automakers, whose share of automobile production in Canada has declined steadily in the past decade.

Canadian officials and representatives from Stellantis have been in talks since at least November after the automaker said it would shift production of the Jeep Compass from a factory in Brampton, Ontario, to Illinois. Earlier this decade, Canada provided the equivalent of just over one billion Canadian dollars, or about US$731 million, to the automaker to reconfigure the Brampton plant and maintain production in Canada.

A Quebec tourist was raped after getting off a night bus; she bit Ahmed’s genitals to survive.

Ahmed biter

A Quebec tourist, named Xuan (name changed), gave a detailed account on Monday before the Nanterre criminal court of the sexual assault she says she suffered on August 28, 2022, in La Défense, in the early morning, as she got off a Noctilien night bus. Two men, Ahmed K. and Oussama R., are on trial for rape.

According to her statement, Xuan had taken the Noctilien night bus from the Marais district to get to her hotel. On board, she noticed Ahmed K.’s persistent behavior towards another passenger and intervened. “He was undressing her with his eyes, and she was clearly saying no,” she recounted. Confronted, the man insulted her. Thinking the situation had calmed down, Xuan sat back down, but the man continued to stare at her.

As she got off the bus, Oussama R. pressed himself against her and made advances. Xuan told him she wasn’t interested and revealed that she was undergoing gender transition. “I showed him my Adam’s apple to explain that I was a man,” she explained. Despite this, the two men followed her. A third man briefly intervened to try and separate them, before Ahmed K. and Oussama R. caught up with the young woman a few minutes later.

Third world foreigner calls the Birmingham Cathedral ‘s–t’ (but a good place to ‘smoke weed’) in explosive new documentary

“Come see how diversity destroyed ‘England’s Second City’” with the Jolly Heretic.

There’s a brand new documentary being released by Edward Dutton, also known as the Jolly Heretic, titled “The Yookay,” and it’s an exploration of how catastrophic “diversity” has been for Europe (in this case England), and the white, Christian West as a whole. And, the entire documentary could no doubt be summed up by one exchange, between Dutton and some random third world heritage “Brit” walking through the grounds of Birmingham Cathedral…

Oxford, the flagship 15-minute city where citizen rights are crushed by Council zealots

LOW Carbon Oxford (LCO) describes itself as ‘a network of organisations with a shared vision of Oxford as a low carbon city. Over 40 diverse organisations working together to achieve the city’s very ambitious target of reducing emissions in Oxford by 40 per cent by 2020’.

The LCO website has clearly not updated its calendar, but you get the picture. At the heart of this endeavour, Oxford city council has been one of the leading local authorities (LAs) in the UK’s green agenda for the best part of three decades.
