The Guardian ‘forced Afghan into hiding after wrongly stating he was gay’

A man suing for libel claims he was forced to go into hiding from the Taliban after a Guardian article created the “perception he is a gay man”, the High Court has been told.

Safiullah Ahmadi is claiming more than £100,000 in damages over an article published on The Guardian’s website in October 2022, headlined: “Gay Afghan student ‘murdered by Taliban’ as anti-LGBTQ+ violence rises”.

The article concerned the killing of Hamed Sabouri, a gay medical student, in Kabul, Afghanistan, in August 2022, but Mr Ahmadi claims the image originally posted with the story was of him.

Anthony Koch: The U.K. is ending open-borders immigration. Canada should do the same

In Canada, Liberal reaction has been too piecemeal, too little and too late to undo the damage caused by uncontrolled population growth

“We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.”

These are not the words of a populist firebrand or a conservative hardliner. They were spoken by Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Britain’s Labour Party and, since July 2024, prime minister of the United Kingdom.

Election campaign has made crime ‘top of mind’ for Carney government

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is placing a heavy emphasis on cracking down on crime after some Liberals say the issue cost them GTA seats to the Conservatives in last month’s election.

Carney has named tackling crime as a top priority, as his Liberal government is expected to continue pushing a strict gun-control agenda while increasing investments in border security.

God forbid.

Document Against AfD Leaked: Intelligence Services Lied

Keeping the report secret was not intended to protect the domestic spy agency from external threats, but to conceal the investigation’s weak foundation from public scrutiny.

First, the German government pushed out an unvetted report to brand the largest opposition party as ‘right-wing extremist.’ Then, they claimed it had to stay secret to protect sensitive sources. Now it turns out they lied: The entire report is based on public information.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, BfV), Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, placed the political party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) at the center of national political debate after it, on May 2nd, officially classified the party as a “proven right-wing extremist organization” (gesichert rechtsextrem). This designation, announced with the backing of outgoing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD), is based on a report exceeding 1,100 pages, which was initially kept classified. The institutional rationale was clear: to protect sensitive sources and preserve the agency’s operational methods. However, the official narrative began to unravel when media outlets accessed the full content of the document and published it. Their conclusions are unequivocal: the report contains no classified sources, nor does it include any information that would compromise state security. Rather, the document is an extensive compilation of public statements, social media posts, policy papers, and speeches by party representatives.

The Cybertruck was supposed to be apocalypse-proof. Can it even survive a trip to the grocery store?

The Cybertruck answers a question no one in the auto industry even thought to ask: what if there was a truck that a Chechen warlord couldn’t possibly pass up – a bulletproof, bioweapons-resistant, road rage-inducing street tank that’s illegal to drive in most of the world?

Few had seen anything quite like the Cybertruck when it was unveiled in 2019. Wrapped in an “ultra-hard, 30X, cold-rolled stainless steel exoskeleton”, the Cybertruck was touted as the ultimate doomsday chariot – a virtually indestructible, obtuse-angled, electrically powered behemoth that can repel handgun fire and outrun a Porsche while towing a Porsche, with enough juice leftover to power your house in the event of a blackout. At the launch, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the truck could tackle any terrain on Earth and possibly also on Mars – and all for the low, low base price of $40,000. “Sometimes you get these late-civilization vibes [that the] apocalypse could come along at any moment,” Musk said. “Here at Tesla, we have the best in apocalypse technology.”

The Guardian. They hate everything.

Carney’s cabinet meets for the first time as it stares down a pile of problems

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s newly constituted cabinet met for the first time Wednesday on Parliament Hill as the government grapples with a whole host of challenges it will be charged with fixing.

The new ministry has three distinct challenges, among others, bubbling up on its watch: a U.S. trade war that’s already having an impact on Canada’s sluggish economy, persistent consumer affordability challenges and restlessness in Western Canada over the future of natural resources development.

Given Liberal Party policy has created or at the least made these challenges worse should make for some interesting double-speak.

Britain is heading the way of France

The backlash against Keir Starmer has begun. Some senior figures within the Labour party have criticised the Prime Minister’s warning on Monday that Britain is in danger of becoming an ‘island of strangers’.

Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, and Eluned Morgan, the first minister of Wales, are among those who believe the PM is being alarmist. Morgan said one should not use ‘divisive language when it comes to immigration.’ She added that reducing immigration, in the manner Starmer outlined on Monday, would damage Wales’s care sector.

And also presumably the country’s hairdressing industry. Yesterday it was reported that the town of Porth in south Wales (population 5,970) will soon have its 14th barber shop, this one run by a Kurdish businessman.

Canada’s boutique military: ‘Should we not be able to defend ourselves?’

The CAF is in the forefront of recruiting weirdos.

The Alaskan Air Identification Zone extends 150 miles from U.S. territorial airspace and into Canada’s airspace in the North. It begins where sovereign airspace ends but is a defined stretch of international airspace that requires the ready identification of all aircraft in the interest of security.

On two consecutive days in February, two Russian Tupolev bombers accompanied by two Sukhoi Su-35 fighters flew into the zone. On both days, Feb. 18 and Feb. 19, they were intercepted by F-35 fighters, a Boeing E-3 Sentry early warning and control aircraft, and a KC-135 Stratotanker for aerial refuelling. All American aircraft.
