Last week, a Texas high school English teacher was fired after telling her class “don’t judge people for wanting to have sex with five-year-olds.” She urged students to swap the ugly word “pedophile” for “minor attracted person” (MAP.) Parents protested, but anyone following campus debates knew the script.
Afghan Deportees Say They’ll Return to Germany
Some of the Afghan nationals deported from Germany to Kabul on Friday have already said they plan to return, according to media reports. The flight, from the city of Leipzig, carried 81 Afghan men, all either convicted criminals or considered security threats.
Upon arrival in Kabul, several deportees told Afghan journalists they would soon try to return to Germany, underscoring the difficulty Berlin faces in enforcing long-term expulsions.
Ryan Cardwell: Supply management isn’t free
Supply management (SM) is a complex set of government policies that restricts production, marketing, and trade of dairy and poultry in Canada. At its core, SM is a textbook cartel in which producers collude to fix production at the national level, and set prices charged to processors who make the consumer food products sold in restaurants and grocery stores. Such collusion is illegal in other industries — food and elsewhere — but is mandated in SM through government policies.

UK asylum seekers caught entering Ireland for double benefits
Zafar thought he had done the hard bit. He had travelled from Afghanistan across mainland Europe to France, then survived a perilous Channel crossing on a small boat. But it was the final leg to Ireland that proved his undoing and ended with him in the back of a prison van.
Irish police officers believe that after applying for refugee status in the UK he was on his way to do so again in Dublin, a move that could enable him to claim a further set of more generous benefits.
Yet thanks to a police operation at the Irish border, Zafar did not reach the International Protection Office (IPO) in Dublin to lodge his application.
Mark Carney’s ‘build, baby, build’ aspirations face a challenge from Indigenous leaders
The Grand Hall of the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que., can make you feel small.
It’s a soaring, glass-walled space that stretches across the belly of the museum, facing the Ottawa River and Parliament Hill on the opposite shore.
The Grand Hall is set up like a Pacific Northwest coastal village from the 19th century, with the undulating shape of the massive space emulating a shoreline. A boardwalk runs along the “waterfront,” before the facades of houses from six different First Nations along the coast of British Columbia, from the Coast Salish in the south to the Haida and North Coast communities further up.
We lose.
Albanian who cannot be deported taunts Home Office with personalised number plate
An Albanian convicted burglar who cannot be deported taunted the Home Office with a personalised number plate on his £80,000 Mercedes.
Dorian Puka, 28, who has been jailed and deported twice from the UK for burglaries, filmed himself peeling the cover off his new registration plate: DO24 AMG, reflecting his name and high-end marque of the Mercedes.
He then posted a video of himself on Tik Tok driving through London onto the M25 towards the intersection with the M40 to Oxford.

Ontario School Board Reinstates Council Member Suspended Over Land Acknowledgement Objection
An Ontario school board has reversed its decision to suspend a parent serving on a local high school council because of remarks she made about land acknowledgments.
Catherine Kronas was suspended from her position on the Ancaster High Secondary School council after she requested her “respectful objection” to land acknowledgements be recorded at an April 9 school council meeting, according to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).

Ottawa notes rising youth joblessness but ignores foreign student competition
A federal labour department memo acknowledged growing joblessness among young Canadians but failed to mention the government’s own decision to allow over 1 million foreign students into the workforce.
“Youth unemployment is on the rise,” said a June 12 briefing note to Labour Minister Patty Hajdu titled Employment And Skills Support For Canada’s Youth.
The World Economic Forum and the ‘Volk’ movement
JUST recently, TCW published an excellent essay by Niall McCrae (‘Politicians’ contempt for the common man goes back to the Sixties’) It started:
‘The first half of the Sixties was just before my time, and it is fascinating to see that, while the country has changed dramatically since, the attitude of our ruling class is fundamentally the same. I would summarise it as deceitful paternalism: pretending that policies were for the benefit of the people, when they were merely window-dressing for ulterior motives.’
Syria’s new dawn is already a nightmare
Fighting has engulfed the Druze-majority city of Sweida in southern Syria, leaving over 200 people dead. This week, Druze villages have been overrun by Syrian regime forces and allied Islamist militias under the guise of ‘restoring order’, only for those forces to unleash executions, looting and arson upon Druze neighbourhoods. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 92 Druze were killed (including 21 civilians executed by government troops) in the space of a few days. In one incident, an 80-year-old Druze sheikh had his moustache, a symbol of honour, forcibly shaved by invading fighters. He was reportedly killed shortly afterwards. This is, it appears, the dark reality of ‘national unity’ under Syria’s new rulers.
Syrian extremists shave off the mustaches of captured Druze men and film it to humiliate them.
It comes as Syrian militias have been carrying out massacres against the Druze community, with hundreds killed in the city of Sweida.

Islamic forces are pushing forward against the Druze in Sweida after capturing the northern and western neighborhoods.
The number of Islamist men who went/are heading south is estimated to be equivalent to 50% of the entire Druze population in the province. The numbers are… pic.twitter.com/G66xam8aum

John Ivison: Canada’s letting Americans hack apart our crypto industry. We may soon regret it
The shareholders of leading Canadian crypto trading platform WonderFi approved the sale of the company to American financial services giant Robinhood Markets on Thursday.
The shareholders of WonderFi, which owns the Coinsquare and Bitbuy crypto exchanges, are happy, not least the company’s chairman, who stands to earn nearly $2 million for brokering the $250-million deal.
But not everyone thinks this deal should be allowed to stand, particularly when it has been reported there are interested Canadian bidders.
A Spectre is Haunting the Democrats: The Spectre of Communism
This time it’s real, and undeniable. The Democrats have for years denied, with varying degrees of scorn or anger, that they are Communists, despite hating both free enterprise and borders, which are just the sorts of things you’d expect socialist internationalists to hate. Now, however, the deniability is no longer even close to plausible. As the Democrat candidates move ever farther to the left, it’s clear: A spectre is haunting the Democrats. The spectre of Communism.
Now a German court finds 10 migrants raped a 15-year-old girl out of migration ‘frustration’
Eleven men were initially charged with the September 2020 gang-rape of a 15-year-old German girl.
Four of the men dragged the girl into a bush and raped her.
One of the rapists then stole her phone and wallet. Two other men then joined in, also raping the victim.
