Criticism of Islamic cult is a protected belief, judge rules
Criticism of Islam is a protected belief under equalities law, a judge has ruled.
Patrick Lee, 61, was found guilty of misconduct by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) last April over posts on X. After a four-year disciplinary process, he was banned from the professional body and ordered to pay nearly £23,000 in costs.
The trade body ruled that 42 of his posts that criticised Islam, including calling the Prophet Mohammed a “monster”, were “either offensive or inflammatory or both”, adding that 29 were “designed to demean or insult Muslims”.
WTF?
Forget Netflix shows and movies – THIS is what the city of Paris actually is like now.

Adam Pankratz: Land rights confusion a mess of David Eby’s making
In the never-ending saga that is now land title in British Columbia, another bomb has been set off. It has come to light that the Secwépemc First Nation is seeking a declaration of Aboriginal Title to the entire City of Kamloops, a city in British Columbia’s interior of over 100,000 people, along with the surrounding area, including the ski resort of Sun Peaks, an area with an assessed value of at least $43 billion. While no decision has been made on this claim, the Cowichan ruling from August, which declared fee simple titles and interests in the City of Richmond “defective and invalid” in the title area, has sparked a flurry of interest and panic.
WTF?

Syrian killers who treated victims like dogs get away with murder
After militias called for the so-called remnants of the Assad regime to be ‘crushed’, massacres were turned into memes. Families fear they’ll never get justice
The widows saw their men forced to bark like dogs before they were killed. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians saw their final degradation, too, as well as the faces of the killers, as the deaths were broadcast on social media.
When Hadeel Nakher saw her husband Qais, 50, and son Ahmed, 30, for the last time on the screen of her phone, they were kneeling by a verge with two other captives, her brother-in-law and a neighbour, being beaten with belts and kicks by a group of armed men. “Bark, bark, bark, you bastards!” a jeering Sunni fighter yelled into their faces as the blows rained down. “I don’t hear you barking.”
WTF?

Drug User Liberation Front founders convicted of drug trafficking
The two founders of a Vancouver “compassion club,” that sold heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine to drug users in the Downtown Eastside, have been convicted of drug trafficking charges.
Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx founded the Drug User Liberation Front (DULF) in 2022 to provide uncontaminated drugs to people who would otherwise be at the mercy of an illicit supply tainted with potentially deadly fentanyl and benzodiazepines.
‘Vienna a security risk for all of Europe’ – Austrian police discover weapons cache tied to alleged Hamas terror plot
Austrian authorities, investigating suspected Hamas connections since early October, say they have dismantled a terror plot after uncovering a weapons storage depot in Vienna. In response to the weapons cache being discovered, the anti-immigration Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) stated it was once again an example of multiculturalism failing in the country.
Mark Carney’s budget is presented like an answer, but lands like a question
Mark Carney’s first budget has landed in a House of Commons deeply divided. Now, one of the first wave of post-budget polls shows that Canadians are similarly torn about the fiscal blueprint put before the country this week.
Abacus Data went out in the field the day after the budget was unveiled and came back with what it is calling “a muddled first impression.”
While awareness of the budget is reasonably high, it is eliciting two starkly different political reactions. Just over half of those aware of the budget, 52 per cent, said it was a step in the right direction, but 48 per cent said it set Canada in the wrong direction.
Just no pleasing the Star.
In this English city, memories of Canadian soldiers and nurses loom large
I didn’t expect, while on a recent trip to Buxton, England, to find myself crouching before 29 shining white tombstones of Canadian soldiers, clustered under a row of holly trees bearing bright red fruit. Rain fell onto the precisely trimmed grass and a grey October wind blew the red roses growing between the graves.
On Nov. 11, locals will gather for the annual ceremony here, to light candles and lay wreaths to honour these men, casualties of the First World War who now rest far from where they lived and died.
Comey’s Own Notes Prove He Knew The Russia Hoax Was A Clinton Plot
On Monday, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan filed an extraordinary batch of documents in the public docket of her case against former FBI Director James Comey. The exhibits range from Comey’s communications with his handpicked FBI leaker, Daniel Richman, a Columbia law professor the bureau employed specifically to funnel Comey’s preferred narratives to the press, to text messages between Richman and New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt. But the most significant document by far is Comey’s own handwritten notes proving, beyond any doubt, that he knew early on the entire Russia collusion story was a Clinton campaign fabrication.
German Government Promotes Antifa With Publicly-Funded Guides to Political Violence
While some European countries have hastened to follow US President Donald Trump’s example in designating Antifa as a terrorist organisation, Germany is not one of them. In fact, the German Government actively promotes Antifa.
Thus, as first disclosed by German journalist Stefan Frank on the Achse des Guten (‘Axis of Good’) blog, last year the German Government funded a full-fledged “guide for Antifa thugs”, as the title of Frank’s piece puts it. The description alludes to the Antifa movement’s well-known proclivity for violence. The brochure itself is titled Nazis Hate These Tricks: 20 Reflections on How to Combat Right-Wing Extremism. It was funded, believe it or not, by the German Ministry of Family Affairs – or, per its full title at the time, the Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth – as well as one other German public agency.
Jamie Sarkonak: The poppy is above politics. Banning it from courtrooms is shameful
The poppy is a symbol of remembrance that’s supposed to transcend political tiffs, honouring those who sacrificed their lives to ensure Canada’s continued existence. And yet, to some judges in the country, it’s now considered so political that it must be banned from the courtroom.
Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan are the prime offenders. In Nova Scotia, “all judges and staff are expected not to wear any symbols of support in the courtroom” as a matter of neutrality, according to spokesperson Andrew Preeper. The Nova Scotia courts consider the poppy to violate that rule.
Why Britain’s Jews no longer feel at home
We are now forced to hide our identities and look over our shoulders.
There is a scene in Annie Hall where Alvy Singer, played by Woody Allen, recounts to his friend instances of supposed anti-Semitism against him: ‘You know, I was having lunch with some guys from NBC… So I said, “uh, did you eat or what?”, and Tom Christie said, “No, didchoo?”. Not did you – didchoo eat. No, not did you eat, but Jew eat. Jew. You get it? Jew eat?’ Among other examples, Singer also claims that a music-shop assistant is being anti-Semitic by telling him there’s a sale on Wagner records. His friend, Rob, dismisses his concerns as paranoia.
