More than 50,000 pupils expected to strike over German rearmament policy

Tens of thousands of pupils across Germany are expected to boycott the classroom and take to the streets in a nationwide protest organisers say is to stop the government’s rearmament policy turning young people into “cannon fodder”.

Despite threats from teachers’ associations and education ministries, which have said anyone who demonstrates during school hours could risk penalties and even expulsion, organisers say they expect the number of participants at Friday’s school strike to be at least as high as the estimated 50,000 who attended each of the first two.

Scott Stinson: Ontario’s crackdown on drugs on public transit has been a long time coming

After the Progressive Conservative government announced plans this week to grant new powers to public-transit special constables so that they can arrest drug users, there was nary a word of protest from the opposition parties at Queen’s Park.

This was significant. It’s not as though Doug Ford’s counterparts are in a particularly conciliatory mood.

GUNTER: Overturned ruling a blow to human rights commission’s credibility

It’s rare to see a judge call out a human rights commission as completely as Court of King’s Bench Justice John Little chastised the Alberta Human Rights Commission on Monday. Little so completely overturned the commission’s 2024 ruling of racism against the Edmonton Police Service that there will be no re-hearing of the complaint.

Meet Shada Islam – Exploring the mind of a Guardianista.

If you really want to understand how Britain went totally insane, it helps to check in regularly with the Guardian, because it’s required reading for the privileged leftist twits who flushed their kingdom down the loo, providing them with daily reminders of what their shared ideology requires them to profess. Ban critics of Islam like Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Valentina Gomez, and Eva Vlardingerbroek while letting unvetted Muslim men of military age flow into the country like hot lava pouring down from Vesuvius onto the helpless inhabitants of Pompeii? Check. Imprison Tommy Robinson for exposing Muslim rape gangs while protecting the rapists themselves from prosecution? Check. Allow aggressive Muslim men to pray loudly and en masse in the streets, blocking traffic in an obvious power move, while arresting one humble Christian woman for praying silently near an abortion clinic? Check. To your typical Guardian editor, writer, or reader, it all makes perfect sense.

Uyghur Forced Labor Imports From China To Canada Must Be Blocked

WASHINGTON — For nearly four decades, I have advocated for justice and human rights for the Uyghur people in the face of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) oppression. Its record of gross human rights violations is well documented, despite an extensive propaganda apparatus designed to obscure it. China’s use of economic leverage to expand its political influence is also widely recognized, with overt examples across the globe. What is often less visible is the breadth and depth of what the CCP is willing to do, and the lengths it will go, to sustain control and project power.

The Masks Are Off: How Europe Betrayed the Trump Administration

Europe has betrayed President Trump. For years, EU leaders and key national governments have undermined the White House’s agenda quietly, working to remove pro-Washington figures from power. We recently witnessed this in Romania, where Cătălin Georgescu — a clear frontrunner who favored closer ties with the U.S. — was effectively sidelined in the presidential race. In Hungary, there was a concerted effort to defeat Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party in April. Now, anti-Trump Europe has stepped out of the shadows and is openly distancing itself from the administration, leaving it to face its challenges in Iran alone.

Shark or sea monster? The Canadian marine mystery that still intrigues experts 90 years on

Its head resembled a dog’s, its downturned nose a camel’s, and at the end of its reptilian body was the tail of horse. Witnesses say it was covered in a thin white film. When the remains of a strange creature were pulled from the stomach of a sperm whale, most of those present agreed: it was a sea monster – or at least something unknown living in the depths off Canada’s west coast.

Crews at the whaling station in the archipelago of Haida Gwaii assembled a platform of wooden boxes and laid out the 3-metre (10ft) carcass, using a white sheet to display the curiosity that had baffled veteran whalers.

Islamic sectarianism is warping democracy

Even before a single ballot has been counted, Islamic sectarianism has already emerged as one of the defining stories of these English local elections. Significant proportions of Muslim voters are expected to swing towards Green or Muslim independent candidates, and away from a Labour Party that could once depend on their vote. A new report by spiked columnist Rakib Ehsan for the Policy Exchange think-tank explains why.

Geoff Russ: Democracy can’t exist in B.C. as long as DRIPA is around

British Columbia’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) is encroaching on the democratic rights of British Columbians.

DRIPA, as developed by the provincial NDP government and defended by the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC), has gone beyond the process of consultation required under Canadian law. Now, it has become a vessel for co-governance between First Nations and the provincial government.

ISIS Beatle Ringo who was part of terror beheading gang has bid to move from grim US supermax prison to comfortable British jail refused

An ISIS terrorist who was part of a beheading gang dubbed The Beatles has had his bid to move to a comfortable British jail refused.

El Shafee Elsheikh – known as Jihadi Ringo – is currently serving life in a high-security US prison after he was convicted of hostage-taking and conspiring to murder in 2022.

The 38-year-old had applied to move back to his ‘home country’ Britain so he could be closer to family and friends – despite his citizenship being revoked in 2018.

RCMP found no evidence of foreign interference in Alberta separatist movement, minister says

The RCMP has informed the Alberta government that there is no evidence the province’s separatist movement has been subject to foreign interference, according to the minister who oversees policing.

Mike Ellis, Alberta’s Minister for Public Safety and Emergency Services, on Wednesday attributed this information to the RCMP’s deputy commissioner, noting the update landed before the government learned about an alleged privacy breach involving the personal information of 2.9 million Albertans.

Calgary police defend Punjabi signs amid backlash over immigration concerns

CALGARY — The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is responding to criticism over temporary signs that were posted in northeast Calgary in the Punjabi language as part of an effort to combat extortion crimes targeting the South Asian community.

In a statement to the Western Standard, CPS said it had placed “ten temporary signs in select northeast Calgary locations for a two-week period, which began on Wednesday, April 22, 2026,” adding that the locations were chosen based on current intelligence about extortion activity in the city.
