The far-right is clearly antisemitic and Islamophobic.
The Heritage committee was suppose to study the rise of the far-right, but Conservatives refused to bring the study to a vote.
If Conservatives really cared about antisemitism or Islamophobia they'd vote for the study. pic.twitter.com/rDQLO1omux

The city of Oakland recently removed traffic lights from one busy intersection and replaced them with stop signs after the electrical boxes that controlled the traffic lights were repeatedly tampered with and copper from them was stolen.
Local residents and those who own businesses in the area say the issue with the traffic lights stems from the nearby homeless encampment, which has grown over the years.
Ohio sex worker had more than 200 clients while knowing she was HIV-positive: ‘Risky business’
A wealthy Austin neighborhood has ‘given the finger’ to the state’s capital and voted en masse to leave the city amid a spiraling crime crisis.
Lost Creek, a rich enclave in the west side of Austin, saw an overwhelming majority of 91 percent of residents vote to break away from the city during a May 4 election.
Many never wanted to be part of City of Austin to begin with when it was annexed nine years ago in 2015.
The Spanish government has been accused of violating basic religious rights after a group of peaceful protesters were fined for praying the rosary outside a church near the headquarters of the governing Socialist Party.
Spain’s Observatory for Religious Freedom and Conscience is petitioning for the UN to intervene, saying the government’s actions are part of a trend against public religious practice “which may soon reach levels of repression typical of dictatorial regimes.”.
Out with a bang: The long weekend tradition of fireworks could be coming to an end
Fireworks may be coming to an end in Canada – not with a bang, but a whimper.
Cherry bombs, sparklers and Roman candles used to be a fun DIY thrill enjoyed by friends and neighbours on holidays such as Canada Day, Diwali and Lunar New Year. Grand pyrotechnic spectacles brought whole communities together.
But in recent years, fireworks have become anything but simple.

Provinces and territories should not stop pushing for drug decriminalization despite the federal government’s rejection of Toronto’s request, one expert says.
Guy Felicella, a harm reduction and recovery expert in British Columbia, says all regions in Canada need to persevere with treating substance addictions as a health issue.
“I think everybody should be making those requests still, regardless of what the federal government is going to do… because the current model of criminalizing people doesn’t work,” Felicella told Global News on Saturday.
Earlier this month, the Biden administration floated a trial balloon, suggesting “senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.”
Justin is no doubt enthralled.
English courts are in talks to abandon compulsory wigs for barristers amid claims that they are “culturally insensitive”.
The Telegraph understands that the judiciary is poised to update its court dress code following complaints by some barristers that the traditional headpieces discriminate against those with Afro-Caribbean hair.
Judges are currently reviewing proposals made by the Bar Council, which represents barristers in England and Wales, with changes expected to be made this autumn at the earliest. No decisions have been made.
Can’t they come up with a Bro’ Wig?
