Jamie Sarkonak: Progressive judge spares violent loan shark criminal record to avoid deportation

Jamie Sarkonak: Progressive judge spares violent loan shark criminal record to avoid deportation

Last month, it wasn’t just a judge who excused a Ghanaian work permit holder for beating a woman in the street over an unpaid loan. It was also the Crown prosecutor.

The 34-year-old, known only as E.A. due to a publication ban, admitted to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that he lured a woman who owed him money into a basement to demand repayment. The victim’s account was that, at this point, he put her in a choke hold, tried to rape her and took her phone as collateral, but in court only the phone theft was established to have occurred. (E.A. had countered that there was no attempted raping or choking, that the woman had a motive to fabricate such a story, and that the woman chased him out).

They bought identical cars and have flawless driving records. So why is his insurance $649 more?

They bought identical cars and have flawless driving records. So why is his insurance $649 more?

Bernie Wasserman and his wife recently gave themselves the ultimate gift for their golden years: matching cars.

When their insurance provider finalized the policies on their new Infiniti QX50 sport SUVs, which were identical apart from colour, the paperwork didn’t add up.

The Vaughan couple requested exactly the same coverage.


Why even ask? The costs associated with migrant crime and their poor driving records are passed on to the consumer. Unfortunately all men are tarred by the same brush and deemed to be a higher risk.

‘Numerous failure controls’ and ‘non-compliance’ — what the audit of Conestoga College found that prompted the province to take it over

‘Numerous failure controls’ and ‘non-compliance’ — what the audit of Conestoga College found that prompted the province to take it over

Conestoga College handed out pay raises with no justification, awarded contracts to higher bidders without explanation, allowed an executive to take part in recruiting their daughter into a management position, and had such poor oversight of procurements and purchase orders that one for $11,000 was recorded at $126 billion — and no one noticed.

These are among the damning details contained in a recent, confidential two-part audit of the Kitchener-area college that rates the school as “high” risk, according to executive summaries obtained by the Star.


The foreign student program was pure gangsterism made for Conestoga.

Many Americans think Trump assassination attempts were fake, survey finds

Many Americans think Trump assassination attempts were fake, survey finds

About 1 in 4 Americans think the April shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner was staged, with a marked partisan divide, according to a survey published Monday.

Roughly 1 in 3 Democratic respondents said they believed the event was staged, compared with about 1 in 8 Republicans, according to a survey published Monday by NewsGuard, a company that rates the reliability of online news outlets. Respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 were also more likely than older people to think the incident was staged, according to the report.


Looks like the Dinner Shooter doesn’t believe it was real either!

‘Nobody Comes for Welfare’: German Minister Faces Reality Check

‘Nobody Comes for Welfare’: German Minister Faces Reality Check

Germany’s labour minister has been accused of denying reality after insisting “nobody immigrates into our social welfare system” despite government data showing foreigners are heavily overrepresented among welfare claimants.

The controversy erupted during a government question session on Wednesday, May 6th, when right-wing AfD MP René Springer asked why the government was not cutting spending “where it is obvious: immigration into our social systems” as Germany struggles with rising welfare costs and mounting budget pressure.

Labour Minister Bärbel Bas dismissed the claim outright, arguing instead that immigration was helping to address labour shortages.

Canada Fines an 85-Year-Old Hockey Scout for Being Old-Fashioned

Terry Bonner, the Vancouver Giants’ 85-year-old scout, stepped onto the Western Hockey League’s Prospects Draft stream and did what older men sometimes do. He wandered a little, praised Vancouver’s selection of Eli Vickers with the third overall pick, then thanked Cami Kepke, the WHL’s community engagement and content manager, and told her something that’s become something of a lost art.

Sweden Presses UN To Allow Deportation of Rapists with Refugee Status

Sweden Presses UN To Allow Deportation of Rapists with Refugee Status

Sweden’s government is stepping up efforts at the United Nations to change the rules for deporting convicted rapists with refugee status.

Migration Minister Johan Forssell is in New York seeking international backing for a Swedish initiative to reinterpret the UN Refugee Convention. The government argues that current rules make it too difficult to expel individuals convicted of rape, as the threshold for what qualifies as a particularly serious crime remains too high. Forssell said it was “terribly unjust” that convicted rapists can avoid deportation by invoking refugee protections.
