Southport inquiry to consider curfews for ‘potential criminals’

The measures would allow judges to impose restrictions including electronic tags and a ban on internet use on anyone suspected of planning violent crimes

The Southport inquiry will examine whether courts should be allowed to impose sweeping restrictions on people suspected of planning serious violent offences, even if they have not committed any crime.

Opening proceedings on Tuesday at Liverpool town hall, Sir Adrian Fulford, the chair, said the inquiry will consider whether the state should have powers to impose curfews, electronic tags, internet bans and limits on social media use for individuals deemed to pose a risk of serious harm.

CHARLEBOIS: Who killed Jersey Milk? Blame Canada’s economy

It appears Jersey Milk chocolate is gone after all — despite weeks of corporate denials.

Mondelez has now confirmed the product is being discontinued. While the company claims no jobs will be lost — a credible assertion given that Jersey Milk was produced alongside other brands like Caramilk and Mr. Big at the Gladstone plant in Toronto — the move reflects a broader strategic shift. This is less about nostalgia and more about economics: Jersey Milk had become a low-volume product that consumed relatively high production resources. In short, it no longer made financial sense.

You can now apply for a ‘bubble zone’ in Toronto to limit protests. An unexpected group will be in charge of enforcing them

Toronto has unveiled its website for those seeking “bubble zones” limiting protests within 50 metres of schools, daycares and places of worship — but it’s the unexpected group of city employees tasked with enforcing the controversial new rules that’s raising some eyebrows on council.

The legislation was more than a year in the making and was the subject of recurring debate at city hall before being approved in May.

This is a bad joke.

Former CIA Officer On Epstein Whitewash: “I Just Don’t Buy It”

A former CIA officer has admitted that nothing about the latest Jeffrey Epstein developments adds up, and it seems like a massive cover up.

As we highlighted yesterday, everything was tied up neatly with a bow as the DOJ and FBI claimed that there is no evidence of any “client list” belonging to the convicted pedophile sex trafficker, or that he was ever involved in any plot to blackmail elite or important people.

Rearmament Without Warriors? A Pointless Exercise in Impression Management

Until the West overcomes its addiction to post-heroic values, NATO’s programme of rearmament will do little to provide its nations with genuine security

At international summits and in the media, all the talk is about increased defence spending and rearmament. At the recent Hague summit, the NATO allies agreed to increase their defence spending to 5% of their GDP. And yet, all the publicity about finally taking national defence and security seriously comes across as dishonest posturing. Why? Because the leaders of most NATO member states are fully aware that their military forces are not ready for a serious fight. Worse still, the population of Western societies has embraced a post-heroic culture that regards the defence of their nation as not their concern. Young people have been turned off from embracing the values of patriotism, courage, and duty, and, consequently, many of them feel little responsibility for defending their nation.

‘You can’t buy a wife’ class

Finland’s former PM

Who knew that bringing people from other cultures might create problems? Yes, problems such as “you can’t buy a wife here,” or women don’t like to be touched in public.

Yes, you can’t make this stuff up, but it is reality in a place called Finland. Remember that quiet country where Finnish blondes made the cover of certain popular magazines? This is not your father’s Finland, if you know what I mean.

Tasha Kheiriddin: A Carney pipeline means an angry Liberal base

For months, Prime Minister Mark Carney has spoken about making Canada an energy superpower. He said it on the campaign trail, mentioned it again in an interview with CTV news in May, and dropped it again last weekend at the Calgary Stampede. While he usually inserts the qualifier of “both clean and conventional energy,” in an interview Saturday he stated that it’s “highly, highly likely” that at least one oil pipeline will make the government’s list of national strategic infrastructure projects.

Vaginal Traps Instead of Migration Policy: Germany’s Latest Absurdity

Spiked devices instead of borders: Europe’s surreal response to sexual violence.

Germany is facing an alarming rise in rape cases. In just five years, the number of reported assaults has increased by 49.5%, surpassing 12,000 per year. And yet, the institutional and academic response does not point towards a serious analysis of the causes or reforms that would effectively protect women. Instead of addressing the factors driving this violence—such as massive and uncontrolled immigration—the reaction is a grotesque distraction: proposing “trap condoms” with internal spikes designed to injure the attacker’s penis.

Not Bombed Enough.

Democracy Experts Scorned by Trump Are Plotting to Sabotage Democracy

Based on the reporting by NOTUS, they don’t seem to see anything wrong with this.

I have just come across the most remarkable story in the news outlet NOTUS. Its headline is, “Trump Fired Them. Now They’re Plotting to Stop Him,” and yet, despite its explosive subject matter, it is written in the sort of dry, matter-of-fact tone that one would typically associate with a report on the most recent meeting of the county drainage board. In fairness, too little editorial comment is a lesser sin in this type of article than too much, but, given the astounding implications of the facts the author relates, I thought that it deserved a good deal more comment that it received, and so, having picked my jaw up from its new home atop my keyboard, I resolved to provide just that.

As usual Feds failed to screen Muslim terrorists now facing trial, briefing note reveals

The Department of Immigration in a briefing note admits it never sought “comprehensive security screening” of suspected Egyptian terrorists.

Two Egyptian nationals were arrested in 2024 for plotting an attack on Toronto, and are in custody until their 2026 trial. Then-Immigration Minister Marc Miller at the time defended his department’s handling of the case.
