New hate speech bill reflects Canada’s widening sectarian divisions

Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, is another piece of legislation with an Orwellian name that the Canadian political class periodically rolls out. Under current Canadian law, anyone convicted of “the wilful promotion of hate” can face imprisonment, but exemptions exist for statements made in “good faith” or based on belief in a religious text. Bill C-9 seeks to eliminate these exemptions and is likely to pass through Parliament. Beyond creating tension between the state and civil liberties groups, the bill exposes deeper fissures that threaten Canada’s already fragile national unity.

Nearly seven in every 10 Canadians are identifying the cost of living in their area as a major issue, according to a newly released survey.

Another 21 percent say the cost of living is bad where they live, although they can recall periods when it was even more challenging.

Only 11 percent say the cost of living is not bad, the survey said.

Another Magdeburg Market Muslim Terror Plot Proves Need for “Decisive Action”

A man, described in the German national press only as a 21-year-old Central Asian, was arrested in Magdeburg on Friday to prevent him from carrying out attacks against large crowds.

The timing and location are significant. Just a year ago, a Saudi psychiatrist and refugee who was known to German police drove a car into a crowded Magdeburg Christmas market during the city’s festivities, killing six people. It is for this reason that this year’s market quietly opened under tight security.

The sleepless, meth-fuelled unravelling of Rob Reiner’s son

Military head: Britons must be ready to fight as Russian threat grows

Russia could launch a significant direct attack on the UK and more British citizens need to be ready to fight, the head of the armed forces has said.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton said that although the chance of such an attack was remote, that “does not mean the chances are zero”. Russia’s arsenal of weapons was “something to fear” and the threat posed by President Putin was growing.

In a lecture at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) on Monday, he said the UK faced the same threat as Germany, which was reintroducing a form of national service.

Has the BBC met its nemesis in Trump’s formidable $5billion suit?

MAKE no mistake, Donald Trump’s $5billion (£3.7billion) defamation lawsuit against the BBC, filed yesterday, is a formidable document: it is a tightly constructed, meticulously argued claim that accuses the Corporation not merely of error but of intentional deception on a scale that, if proven, could be the most damaging legal defeat in its history.

Filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the complaint names the BBC, BBC Studios Distribution, and BBC Studios Productions as defendants. It seeks $5billion in damages for defamation and for alleged violations of Florida’s consumer protection laws.
