An Algerian refugee sex offender has been allowed to stay in France after claiming to be “transgender,” despite being sentenced to four years in prison in 2019.
In the midst of the debate on lax immigration policy following the rape and murder of 19-year-old Philippine by a Moroccan illegal immigrant, the recent decision by the Council of State concerning the Algerian refugee sex offender has caused controversy.

The city council of Pickering, Ont., has voted to sanction one of its members for the third time in just over a year.
Coun. Lisa Robinson was given a 90-day pay penalty last month, which comes after she was given a 60-day penalty in October 2023, following a previous 30-day suspension in September 2023. It is the most severe penalty the council can impose.
The US supreme court said on Friday it will decide whether to block a $10bn lawsuit Mexico filed against US gun manufacturers and distributors that argues that their negligent and illegal commercial practices have unleashed bloodshed in the country.
The lawsuit, filed in Boston in August, names Smith & Wesson, Barrett Firearms, Beretta, Colt and Glock, as well as Boston-area wholesaler Interstate Arms.
The Mexican government says it wants to “put an end to the massive damage that the Defendants cause by actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels and other criminals in Mexico”.
With the demise of the NDP-Liberal partnership agreement in Ottawa, avoiding an early election may mean Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government will have to rely on support from the Bloc Québécois, who are making certain demands.
I don’t believe the Trudeau-Singh pact is ended.
Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne has urged Canadians to buy electric vehicles (EVs), emphasizing the need for greater uptake as part of the government’s climate goals.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Champagne made the remarks during a Commons industry committee meeting, where he acknowledged that more work is needed to boost adoption of EVs despite existing federal incentives.
Today’s pleasant surprise for the Trump campaign and everyone who’s not a fan of Tim Walz: A bit more than a month before Election Day, CNN does a long, detailed, and damning report about the scandals in Minnesota’s state government while Tim Walz has been governor
The devastation wrought across the American Southeast by Category 4 Hurricane Helene last week has naturally drawn comparisons to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina response. As a veteran of military logistics, I can confirm that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ response to this round of mass suffering has been orders of magnitude worse than federal actions taken after Katrina.
The wall of silence surrounding the harm to low-wage workers has begun to crack.
The United States is deep into a season of severe discontent. Our politics are polarized, our Congress is moribund, and our purchasing power has tumbled. A Gallup poll in early 2024 showed that only 20 percent of Americans are satisfied with the “way things are going.” Nearly 70 percent believe the country is on the “wrong track.”
In April of 2024, I posted You’re on you own: what to do about it. The point of that article was we really are on our own. Government is not able to protect us, and when government wrongs us, it’s going to move heaven and earth to avoid paying for that harm.
Yes, this means when we need them most, the police aren’t going to be there, and when we don’t want them at all, they just might, particularly if they’re the FBI. More about this shortly.
The leftist media has been abuzz about Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance “smearing” Haitians in America with comments about their cultural practice of pet-eating.
The fate of the country’s first taxpayer-funded reparations program is hanging in the air after the city in question, Evanston, Illinois, defended its program and asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit that argues the race-based payments are unconstitutional.
At issue is whether Evanston’s first-of-its-kind reparations effort — for which the city allocated $20 million for a program to provide $25,000 payments to Black people who lived at Evanston between 1919 and 1969 and their descendants — violates the Equal Protection Clause. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit earlier this year, claiming that its six plaintiffs would be eligible for the reparations payments except for the fact that they weren’t Black.
The male A-list celebrity who is the subject of an alleged sex tape with Sean “Diddy” Combs is “horrified” that the footage is being shopped around to media outlets, two members of the star’s inner circle told The Post.
“It’s triggering,” said one of the insiders. “It feels like a betrayal and a violation, and it’s causing a lot of issues. It brings up some really disturbing and bad memories.”
More than one person is hawking the incriminating footage, which shows a man who appears to be Combs having sex with a younger male, who appears to be the A-lister. Both of their faces are clearly visible in the footage.
Here is a crash course in all the players in this Diddy drama. He connects almost everything in a way everyone can understand. pic.twitter.com/dj8yFXUR9J

I’ve spent the last few evenings sorting through boxes of Kathy’s things.
Small treasures have been found like the little box pictured above containing all of her “Anti-War” pins along with some photos of No-Nuke marches she attended.
Older pics of she and I have turned up along with her “1st communion” journey complete with hand drawn pictures and captions.
Also a scrap book of a childhood Maritimes road trip.
It’s been good fun. Her Mom loved her very much and that explains the many many childhood photos.
And I mean many. My hope is to select the best and eventually post them on a dedicated web site along with as much of her writings as I can gather.
A few pieces new to me have turned up including one that in discussing her Mother’s battle with ovarian cancer portends her own.
This is the sort I have put off. It will be a big job and this first pass is just to decide what I do not need to keep as I inherited her Mom’s things as well as some of her grandparents.
I miss her.
It has now been a year since Hamas attacked Israel, took hostages, and murdered around 1200, not only Israelis, but also foreign nationals, including eight Canadians. The attack happened thousands of kilometres from where I was teaching, at McGill and Concordia universities, but the effects on campus were shocking and immediate. And I don’t see any sign that universities are prepared for its anniversary, unless you call prepared asking professors to move their classes online, and insisting it has nothing to do with safety.
