An unexpected film is screened outside of competition at the Cannes Film Festival this Wednesday, May 13th. Called L’Abandon (The Abandonment), it recounts the days leading up to the death of Samuel Paty, the history teacher who was beheaded on October 16, 2020, for showing his pupils cartoons of Muhammad as part of a lesson on freedom of expression.
The organizers behind Toronto’s annual Al-Quds Day rally are suing Premier Doug Ford for defamation.
Al Quds Outreach Committee Toronto filed a lawsuit against Ford, prepared at the end of April, alleging commentary he made about the rally was motivated by “malice” and displays racism.
The lawsuit refers to comments Ford made in a video released on YouTube in March.
“This demonstration is nothing more than a breeding ground for hate and antisemitism. It glorifies violence, it celebrates terrorism. It has no place in Ontario, it has no place in Canada,” he said in the video.
The mess that was the Ontario Liberal nomination race in Scarborough Southwest can’t simply be swept under the rug. The party is facing serious allegations of wrongdoing in the vote that happened over the weekend, and those must be answered, not ignored.
Nate Erskine-Smith, who lost by 19 votes to Ahsanul Hafiz, has claimed that there were 34 more ballots counted than there were recorded voters. He also said there were “repeated and serious inconsistencies with respect to proof of identification” and said there were “problematic actions in the voting area.”
Nothing will be done, the Liberals are as corrupt as the Muslims.
Besides Mohammed Erskine-Smith is only upset because he lost.
All 11 teachers who were suspended in 2024 after being accused of fostering a toxic climate at a Montreal elementary school have had their licences revoked, according to the office of Quebec’s education minister.
Confirmation of the 11 licences being revoked came on the same day the Education Ministry made public a final report into the situation at Bedford elementary school.
The revocation of the licences is the latest development in a saga that reignited the debate around secularism in the province and raised concerns about religious indoctrination in Quebec schools.
Nowhere in the Gaslighting CBC article is it noted that the 11 suspended teachers were Muslims.
OTTAWA — Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he believes there is “religious infiltration” and “Islamist infiltration” in Quebec schools in the wake of a sprawling controversy about a Montreal school where teachers were accused of creating a climate of terror.
A leading figure in the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) who defended Hamas’s hostage-taking in its Oct 7 attack on Israel has been refused entry to Canada.
Dr Anas Altikriti, who is listed as a director of the association, had planned to attend and speak at a Muslim Association of Canada convention in Toronto on May 16-18.
However, he was held and questioned for 11 hours on arrival in Montreal before being escorted back on to a plane to London.
Among the mutilated and butchered bodies of young women slaughtered on October 7, it was their colourful, polished nails that many of the morgue staff remember.
Bright, beautiful, shiny, pink manicures glistening amid the pervasive ‘grey and green’ of death were often the only reminder of who these girls had been just hours earlier.
Because Hamas-led terrorists had not just executed these women. They had ‘deliberately and systematically’ defiled them, as the most comprehensive account of the atrocity released by The Civil Commission today shows.

The Ontario Liberal Party is standing by the results of its nomination contest in Scarborough Southwest as losing candidate Nate Erskine-Smith met with his team to discuss next steps after raising concerns about the race.
On Saturday, Liberal members in the east Toronto riding chose businessman Ahsanul Hafiz as their next provincial candidate in a yet-to-be-announced by-election, beating Mr. Erskine-Smith in a close contest. The nomination was seen as a critical step in Mr. Erskine-Smith’s plan to run for leader of the Ontario Liberal party. He is currently a federal MP for the neighbouring riding of Beaches-East York.
I am lovin it. The pandering pol got what he deserved.
Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world, and yet the greatest threat to the faith is arguably not external but internal: the woke infiltration of Christian churches by subversive clergy in sheep’s clothing.
Examples abound. Most recently, at Georgia’s Vinings Lake Church, which describes itself as a “progressive, fully inclusive, diverse,” “ever-evolving spiritual collective,” pastor Cody Deese declared in a sermon that he doesn’t believe Christ died for our sins, which is the central claim of the faith. He says people in the first century AD might have believed that, but we don’t live in that culture anymore. He casually dismissed accusations that he is a heretic.
European intelligence agencies are investigating a growing wave of attacks on Jewish and Israeli-linked sites believed to be connected to a shadowy organisation known as Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), which security officials suspect may operate as a proxy for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The group, which emerged shortly after the start of the Iran war in late February, has claimed responsibility for a series of low-level attacks across at least seven European countries, including Britain, Belgium, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
The incidents have largely involved arson, vandalism, and small improvised explosive devices targeting synagogues, Jewish charities, and Iranian opposition organisations.
On May 31, 2001, a former Pakistan army captain named Tahawwur Hussain Rana swore the oath of citizenship in front of an Ottawa judge, who anointed him a Canadian.
But he is a fraudulent Canadian, according to hundreds of pages of government documents obtained by Global News that allege he obtained his citizenship through “deception.”
The documents show that an RCMP investigation uncovered considerable evidence that Rana lied on his citizen application form by claiming he resided in Canada, when he did not.
… The DWP has confirmed in its benefits uprating list that “additional spouses” in “polygamous marriages” are being given a 4.8% boost to their benefits from April, which would most likely be for husbands with multiple wives.
Those who are classed as an “additional spouse” in a polygamous marriage and are above state pension age were in 2025–26 able to claim an additional £119.50 per week of Pension Credit or Housing Benefit, with no given limit on the number of separate additional spouses who can claim in one household, other than the overall benefits cap per household per year.
Israel’s kinetic war against Hamas has been successful. Although still defiant, Hamas is a shadow of its pre-October 7 self. The possibility of an October 7 reprisal is forever nil. But Hamas and their supporters are winning the equally important battle for hearts and minds in demonizing Israel and Jews.
Their toxic flow of accusations — settler colonialism, apartheid and, above all, genocide in Gaza — have never been interrogated in a court of actual law. But they will be. As alpha Israeli journalist Amit Segal recently reported in his daily newsletter, It’s Noon in Israel, “Oct 7 launched the propaganda war, but the trial of the perpetrators will put the propagandists on trial.”
Two weeks ago, Freedom Center Investigates ran a blockbuster story exposing the troubling background of Adam Hamawy. a New Jersey congressional candidate, who had testified at the Blind Sheikh’s trial.
The phenomenal rise of Reform UK in the local elections has triggered predictable howls of outrage from Left-wing quarters. “Fascist!”, “far Right!”, all the usual slurs. After a campaign spent depicting Nigel Farage as Britain’s next Hitler, the snowflakes are now in full meltdown at the terrifying prospect that the electorate might actually elect a “Nazi” as prime minister.
The hysteria reveals far more about the critics than it does about Reform. Those with a rational grasp of UK politics understand the truth: Farage’s party, now replete with former Conservatives and careful to distinguish itself from a harder-Right outfit in Rupert Lowe’s Restore, represents the least of Britain’s problems. While the Left obsesses over phantom threats on the Right, genuine extremism is flourishing elsewhere, cloaked not in Union flags but in the sanctimonious green of virtue-signalling radicalism.
Church of Montenach, France. Built between 1884 and 1886, it survived two world wars and was devastated by a fire on Sunday.
The numbers, cold as gravestones, speak clearly: dozens of churches are destroyed by fire every year, while other places of worship enjoy an inexplicable immunity. These are not meteorological accidents or random electrical faults. It is a pattern that challenges our ability to name reality without euphemisms.
The elites in Paris and Brussels, barricaded in their intellectual salons, prefer not to see, but the citizen smells the acrid odor of a planned dissolution.
