Sharon Osbourne has said she will be attending an anti-immigration march organised by far-Right commentator Tommy Robinson.
Next month’s ‘Unite The Kingdom’ march follows a similar rally in September at Trafalgar Square, which drew over 100,000 participants.
Robinson has been drumming up support for the march in social media posts and earlier this week shared an Instagram video on the Gauci Reports account galvanising followers to mark May 16 as the date ‘Britain rises and reunites’.
VANCOUVER — Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv, who was born Jonathan Yaniv and has also used the name Jessica Simpson, has filed at least one recent human rights complaint with the BC Human Rights Tribunal that explicitly claims membership in the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ community while alleging discrimination through “existential denialism” and discriminatory publication.
Germany’s declining establishment parties are again undermining the very institutions they pretend to defend in order to limit the capabilities of the rising Alternative for Germany (AfD).
In Rhineland-Palatinate, in the southwest of the country, where the populist party recently secured a record election result, the CDU/CSU, SPD and Greens are teaming up to alter the constitution. They want to change the rules for parliamentary inquiry committees so as to block the AfD from convening investigative committees of their own.
Mark Carney is swaggering about Canada with his new majority government, acting as if he’d just received a landslide mandate from the electorate. The truth is he acquired his precious majority not by climbing up on his soapbox and convincing voters, but by whispering sweet nothings to five MPs from other parties, upon which they mysteriously lost their political principles and crossed the floor. Does Carney believe in democracy? It’s hard to be sure.
Yes, his party did just win three special elections. But only one of those counted (the other two were held by Liberals already and in safe Liberal ridings, so made no difference to the number of seats the party held). Without the floor-crossings, Carney would be stuck with the minority he won last April.
The prognosis of the Iran War is now so couched in politics and so warped by the American Left that the public has grown tired and wants it all to go away. But in truth, the situation is so fluid that any accurate prediction is impossible. Yet there is good reason to believe in an eventual outcome quite favorable to the U.S. and one far better than the status quo ante bellum.
Ottawa boasts of nation-building while debt rises, jobs vanish, and contradictions multiply.
The Liberal Party of Canada is ecstatic. They’ve finally caught the golden ring on the merry-go-round. There were three byelections in Canada on April 13, and the Liberal Party won all three of them, which now gives them a majority government. To be clear, they have been inching their way in this direction for almost a year now, since they won a minority government in the last federal election. They have been doing this by persuading Conservative MPs to cross the floor. The last such crossing was just a few days ago on April 8, when Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu did the treacherous little dance. She was the fourth Conservative MP to do so since the general election. In the Liberal Party press release, she justified her move by calling it an “opportunity … [to] build the nation at speeds never seen before.” That’s a current Liberal talking point, but it don’t mean a thing.
Just spitballing here: he came from generational wealth, received a BMW when he turned 16, was in a fraternity and graduated college with a 2.0 GPA. Backpacked through Europe on his family’s dime.
His real name is Buckley Thurman Andrew III, but goes by Zoink.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced the first location for one of the five promised city-owned grocery stores. The 9,000 square-foot store will be built on a city-owned vacant site under the Metro-North railroad viaduct at La Marqueta, near Park Avenue and East 116th Street, in Manhattan’s East Harlem neighborhood.
The city will finance the store’s construction with $30 million from the capital budget. The store will have no debt service. Though privately operated, it will pay no rent or property tax.

The day after the Liberals secured their majority in the House of Commons there was a sense that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
In this case, it was the reminder that at 2:15 p.m. in the House, it is still “question period,” not “answer period.”
On Tuesday, Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong rose to ask the government why it had voted in favour of Iran’s membership to the United Nations Committee for Program and Coordination, which shapes UN policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament and terrorism prevention.
This morning, over breakfast, in the course of discussing the week’s news, I happened to say the word “Coachella” in front of my two scornful 11-year-olds, whose heads snapped up from their screens in unison. “How have you heard of Coachella?” said one in amazement. “How have you heard of Coachella?” I replied. They exchanged a look with which I’ve become increasingly familiar – namely, the “here we go” look reserved by the very young for the very middle-aged. “What is Coachella, then?” I said, to which they replied: “It’s where influencers go.”
I’m grateful the world has not forgot to despise Trudeau.
A Canadian woman says she has been banned for life from the University of Guelph in a violation of her Charter rights because she overheard a private conversation that her father had about the Iran war with some Muslims.
Sarah Dotzert, a young conservative activist, posted a YouTube video about her ordeal through her organization, Unify Action. She explains just how far the university went in political correctness by banning both her and her father.
This week, as the Lebanese government was preparing to participate in US-mediated talks with Israel in Washington, DC, Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist organization, delivered its verdict: No negotiations, no compromise. Only war.
The talks, which took place on April 14, aim to ensure “long-term security of Israel’s northern border” while supporting Lebanon’s efforts to “reclaim full sovereignty over its territory.”
How one Ontario mom is navigating fears for her Iranian family’s homeland — from schoolyard gossip to Trump’s taunts
It’s chaos.
At her home near Kawartha Lakes, Ont., Hollay Ghadery sits in her lounge with her laptop as her children rush over, dumping lunch bags and backpacks, kicking off shoes, and jostling to be first to tell her what happened at school.
“Let me speak first.” “No, you spoke first last time. It’s my turn!” “Mom, listen to me.”
Usually, it’s just gossip — who got in trouble, who bothered who. But lately, it’s been about remarks they’ve heard in school: that U.S. President Donald Trump is “freeing” their family’s homeland, Iran, by waging war; that Iranians should be happy about it. One of her children also heard a classmate claim that ISIS, falsely conflated with Iran, is planning an attack on the U.S. Moments like these can show how difficult it can be to parent through a war, even if it’s thousands of kilometres away.
The Star barely conceals the regime leanings of these Iranians one of whom is “Poet Laureate of Scugog Township.”
These are the officials of the Islamic Republic who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and took 52 American diplomats and staff hostage for 444 days.
I grew up in their system.

AI still needs us, but not for long
AI is set to take over all cognitive tasks in the next few years. Your hard-won career as a paralegal, data analyst, radiologist, coder or novelist is about to be hacked out from under you. So far, so apocalyptic. But what about the jobs that are primarily embodied? Sous-chef, rehabilitation nurse, plumber, dog-trainer? These are expected to lag behind, awaiting the next generation of robots. But there is an important further question. Who will train these robots? Answer: you will.
