Why does this keep happening? Yes, sexual molestation happens all over. But we see Muslim migrants involved in this kind of story is seen on a not infrequent basis. Why? One reason may be because such treatment of infidel women is sanctioned in the Qur’an.

The system is failing to meet demand, depending on foreign product, and driving up costs at the grocery store
Canada’s supply management system — once heralded as a pillar of food security and agricultural self-sufficiency — is failing at its most basic function: Ensuring reliable domestic supply.
According to the latest figures from the Canadian Association of Regulated Importers (CARI), Canada imported more than 66.9 million kilograms of chicken as of June 14 — a 54.6% increase from the same period last year. To put that in perspective, this volume could feed 3.4 million Canadians for an entire year, based on per capita poultry consumption. That’s roughly 446 million individual meals — meals that, under a tightly managed quota system, were meant to be produced domestically.
Perhaps Mark Carney has no desire to be re-elected as prime minister and doesn’t care if the federal Liberals fail to win another mandate.
Why else would he bring in legislation that runs roughshod over democratic norms in this country, sidelines experts testimony, opens the door to corruption and to lawsuits that could stymie projects, never mind hand the Grits’ political opponents an issue with which to hit them over the head, and upon which they can fundraise?
Why else would he send his cabinet ministers out to misrepresent controversial legislation to the public that could easily affect their rights to their land, to a clean and healthy environment?
The Israeli hope is for ordinary Iranians to rise up against a regime in disarray and free the Iranian people once and for all
The clue is in the name of Israel’s operation. “Operation Rising Lion” is a direct reference to the Pahlavi flag which shows a lion standing proud against the backdrop of a glowing orb, the sun. In Persian this is called the “Shir-e Khorshid.” For many years now, Netanyahu has sought to speak directly to Iranians, attempting to transcend the Islamic Republic, and to present himself as the savior of the Iranian people. These ongoing strikes are simply a continuation of this policy, and Israel’s determination to avoid civilian casualties (something we’ve not seen in Gaza) feeds into its desire for an anti-regime uprising caused by elite splits and popular rage.
Wishful thinking? Iranians are likely gun-shy. Obama turned a blind eye to previous anti-regime efforts.

The commercialization of cannabis and higher potency of THC is driving increases in cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, research suggests
Emergency departments are seeing a spike in visits owing to a once unusual, highly unpleasant and, in rare cases, potentially life-threatening side effect of chronic cannabis use: severe bouts of vomiting lasting hours, even days.
As pot becomes more potent and more convenient to purchase, emergency doctors are reporting more cases of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS, a gastrointestinal condition that can affect people who use cannabis frequently (several times a week, if not daily) over months or years.
The Trump administration has begun sending warning flares to Iran that might equal some in Tehran’s skyline these days about their future if they do not give up their nuclear ambitions. First, Donald Trump himself took a cease-fire off the table while Iran refuses to concede. Now J.D. Vance has followed that up with a stark warning of American intervention.
JUST IN: President Trump calls for “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” from Iran, tells the Supreme Leader “we know exactly where you’re hiding.”
The threats are ramping up.

On a Friday night in March 2019, Leon-Jamal Daniel Barrett concluded that humanity was corrupt and his only means to save it was by having “sexual congress” with a woman chosen by God.
Social media and video networks have become the main source of news in the US, overtaking traditional TV channels and news websites, research suggests.
More than half (54%) of people get news from networks like Facebook, X and YouTube – overtaking TV (50%) and news sites and apps (48%), according to the Reuters Institute.
“The rise of social media and personality-based news is not unique to the United States, but changes seem to be happening faster – and with more impact – than in other countries,” a report found.
Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out’
She finds the whole idea absurd. To Prof Marci Shore, the notion that the Guardian, or anyone else, should want to interview her about the future of the US is ridiculous. She’s an academic specialising in the history and culture of eastern Europe and describes herself as a “Slavicist”, yet here she is, suddenly besieged by international journalists keen to ask about the country in which she insists she has no expertise: her own. “It’s kind of baffling,” she says.
In fact, the explanation is simple enough. Last month, Shore, together with her husband and fellow scholar of European history, Timothy Snyder, and the academic Jason Stanley, made news around the world when they announced that they were moving from Yale University in the US to the University of Toronto in Canada. It was not the move itself so much as their motive that garnered attention. As the headline of a short video op-ed the trio made for the New York Times put it, “We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the US”.
As if U of T’s reputation hasn’t suffered enough being a prime training ground for latter day Storm Troopers.
FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden.

But with a pursuit on the Don Valley Parkway and an alleged car robber jumping from the Gardiner Expressway to try to get away, it sure looked like it.

To help shift the country away from its dependence on the United States, Canada’s prime minister plans to spend billions to revitalize its military and meet a NATO spending goal.
At the end of World War II, Canada boasted one of the world’s largest navies, with 95,000 uniformed members and 434 ships.
The current Royal Canadian Navy is far less impressive — about 11,500 members and 40 vessels.
Only one of its four diesel submarines, which were bought secondhand from Britain in the 1990s, is operational. And Canada’s armed forces as a whole are about 16,000 people short of an approved head count of 101,500, including reserves.
Nope.
The film of Michael Lewis’s book The Big Short is a magnificent piece of storytelling that made the 2008 financial crash comprehensible.
In the movie, a renegade hedge fund boss discovers that the financial system contains an unexploded bomb. Huge amounts of poorly secured credit are floating around that are far riskier than the holders realise, or want to admit.
It’s a collective hallucination of trust, and he bets that it must eventually collapse.
