SYDNEY (AP) — Australian police arrested seven teenagers accused of following a violent extremist ideology in raids across Sydney on Wednesday, as a judge extended a ban on social media platform X sharing video of a knife attack on a bishop that started the criminal investigation.
The seven, aged 15 to 17, were part of a network that included a 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing a bishop in a Sydney church on April 15, police said.
Clips of the stabbing were taken from the church service’s livestream and subsequently made the rounds on X. An Australian regulator on Monday ordered the platform to take down the videos, an action the platform is fighting.
Canada used to be a nation of peace, order, and good government. Not anymore. You’d be hard pressed to find any of the three on the streets of Ottawa last weekend, at a Palestinian protest which glorified Hamas and its violent assault on Oct. 7.
“Our resistance attacks are proof that we are almost free,” one marcher said, to the cheers of the crowd. “Oct. 7 is proof that we are almost free. Long live Oct. 7, long live the resistance, long live the intefadeh, long live every form of resistance.”

TORONTO – A few Ontario government members have voted again today to uphold a ban on keffiyehs in the legislature, prompting some people watching question period from the public galleries to put on the scarves.
Legislative security ejected the protesters, who were shouting, “free free Palestine.”
The Speaker of the legislature has ruled that people in the chamber as well as in the building cannot wear keffiyehs, which he says are being worn to make a political statement.

The dominant issue in the Milton byelection doesn’t seem to be expanded Go-Train service or building Hwy. 13 — it’s Gaza. That’s based on what is being said and what is not being said by candidates and leaders.
While antisemitic slogans shouted during a weekend anti-Israel protest triggered a rare, online-only rebuke from the prime minister, Canadian Jewish groups blame the deafening silence from Canada’s political leaders for emboldening protesters, resulting in a conspicuous increase in hateful rhetoric.
A judge has dismissed an application to throw out the case of a Calgary man accused of going to Syria to fight with ISIS, for what the defence said were unreasonable delays in the court process.
