Indian taxi driver gets confronted for pooing on the sidewalk in Toronto. Since the Indian/Punjabi population in my area exploded, I have come across human feces 5x in places that only someone comfortable with dumping in public would do it. pic.twitter.com/mRDoKWwDLn
Increasingly, automobiles, once tools to facilitate individual independence, have been repurposed into systems of monitoring and control.
There was a time — not very long ago — when the automobile represented one of the clearest expressions of individual choice in a free society. Limited only by fuel, roads, and imagination, a person could choose where to go, when to go, and how to get there. The car was not merely a machine. It was mobility made personal — an extension of autonomy and freedom.
An Egyptian asylum seeker accused of gang-raping a lone, drunk woman on Brighton beach claimed he filmed the assault to gather evidence for police, a court has heard.
Karin Al-Danasurt, 20, who arrived in the UK on a small boat, said he was shocked when he saw two of his friends raping the woman behind a beach hut.
The 33-year-old woman has claimed she was dragged onto the beach and raped after a night out with friends in the seaside city on October 4 last year.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada might join efforts to ensure freedom of navigation in the Middle East if there is a ceasefire.
Reporters asked Carney on Thursday how Ottawa might get involved in efforts to reopen shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has blockaded in response to the U.S. and Israel launching a war on Iran a month ago.
Carney says Canada is talking to allies about how it could help restore the movement of vessels in the strait, offering the clearest scenario yet of how it might get involved.
The prime minister said there should be a public apology for a spying operation targeting hundreds of Indigenous people that had the support of the federal government.
“Yes, there should be an apology,” Mark Carney said during a news conference in Halifax on Thursday. “It’s a reprehensible practice. Never should’ve happened.”
Carney was responding to reporting from CBC Indigenous, which revealed extensive RCMP surveillance activities dating back to the late 1960s against Indigenous leaders and organizations.
That’s like asking whether adultery is a sin, or taking God’s name in vain. The Bible is quite clear on the matter, and for over two millennia, it was uncontroversial to believe that the sexual binary and method of human procreation made clear that God made men and women to be complementary.
Get ready Canada …
Anti-hate bill that provoked bitter debate over religious freedom passes the Commons
Jewish groups welcomed the government’s anti-hate bill passing through the Commons Wednesday evening after months of filibustering and fractious debate about whether it threatens religious freedom.
Bill C-9, as it’s known, would make it a crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to obstruct someone from accessing a place of worship or other sites where Jews, Muslims and other identifiable groups gather.

The United Nations General Assembly has voted to recognise the enslavement of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity”, a move advocates hope will pave the way for healing and justice.
The resolution – proposed by Ghana – called for this designation, while also urging UN member states to consider apologising for the slave trade and contributing to a reparations fund. It does not mention a specific amount of money.
British Army soldiers have been reprimanded for lampooning the low morale among troops amid warnings from the top brass that they would likely be wiped out if a major war broke out.
A British Army Major was “summoned for a telling off” after it was revealed that he created a satirical song reflecting on the official position of senior officers that, should a big war come, they in the “first echelon” would have to be quickly replaced with new recruits if the country had a hope of winning the conflict.
Have you ever wondered why Joe Biden and the Democrats were so insistent that Congress send endless billions to Ukraine? Well, new declassified intel drops a bombshell that raises some troubling questions about it, and it stinks to high heaven.
In 2022, U.S. spy agencies discovered Ukrainian officials were plotting to divert hundreds of millions in American taxpayer cash meant for clean energy projects to Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
