Royal Bank’s ex-CFO sues for $36million for wrongful dismissal and ‘public humiliation’ after she was fired over affair she denies having

Royal Bank of Canada’s ex chief financial officer is suing the bank for $36 million, claiming that she suffered ‘public humiliation’ after she was fired over an undisclosed personal relationship with a colleague, which she denies.

Nadine Ahn, 52, filed a lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, saying was humiliated and suffered ‘palpable reputational harm’.

Ahn’s employment was terminated by RBC on April 5 after the bank said she had violated its code of conduct for being involved in an ‘undisclosed close personal relationship with another employee’.

Islamist propagandist writing at the Star is upset at Anthony Furey for speaking the truth about “the religion of peace”

Anthony Furey is running for council. He owes some explanations to the Muslims he seeks to represent

… Just to cite a few examples: in a 2013 column, he warned against letting thousands of Muslim immigrants into Canada, given how their beliefs “conflict with Western standards.” In 2019, he complained about how “people are sheepish” to discuss how the growing Muslim vote might force “a running theme” of anti-Semitism into Canadian politics. 

And?


Oh. Steven Zhou is a Writer for the National Council of Canadian Muslims. (Columns by the NCCM, the former CAIR Canada, should be designated paid political content not “opinion.”)

Girl, 11, and woman, 34, stabbed in central London

An 11-year-old girl and 34-year-old woman have been stabbed in London’s Leicester Square, the Metropolitan Police has said.

In a post on X the Met said a man has been arrested and is in custody, adding the force does not believe there are “any outstanding suspects”.

The two victims were taken to hospital and their condition is currently unknown, the post continued.

They’ve arrested the Perp but are not disclosing their identity which sounds a bit like how Southport rose to ignominy.

Update at BBC – The Met said the girl would require hospital treatment but her injuries were not life threatening, while the woman’s injuries were “more minor”. The force said there was no suggestion the incident was terror-related “at this stage”.

Wokeness and the “Sick Animal”

Nietzsche can help us understand the phenomenon of self-abasement.

My X feed has recently been flooded with parodies of the “White Women for Kamala” Zoom call, where a kindergarten teacher turned social media influencer “gentle parented” a group of white women, explaining that “our BIPOC sisters have tapped us in as white women to step up, listen, and get involved this election season.” Among many ridiculous and troubling elements of the call—Democrats now support separate but equal political gatherings?—one particularly glaring aspect was the kind of self-flagellation on racial grounds that has gained widespread adoption since at least the publication of Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility.

It’s time to bring John A. Macdonald out of his confinement

What kind of country keeps its founder in a box?

At Queen’s Park, the seat of Ontario’s government in Toronto, a statue of Sir John A. Macdonald, a father of Confederation and Canada’s first prime minister, stands boarded up on all sides, hidden from the public.

The boards went up after protesters vandalized the statue, blaming Macdonald for the establishment of the residential school system for Indigenous children. They have remained there for the past four years – so long that rodents began using the box as a home.

Law Allowing Phone, Laptop Search at Borders Unconstitutional, Ontario Court Rules

A law that allows border agents to search electric devices, including computers and phones, violates Canadians’ charter rights, Ontario’s top court has ruled, telling Parliament it needs to rewrite the law in six months.

In an Aug. 9 court decision, justices Michael Tulloch, Jonathon George, and Patrick Monahan said that the Canadian Charter “guarantees everyone the right to be secure against unreasonable searches.”
