The sinister dating trend where women say men abandon them in the wilderness: ‘he left me alone to test me’

Angel’s Landing trail in Zion national park, Utah.

On a grueling 222-mile hike through California’s Sierra Nevada, Laurie Singer faced a terrifying ordeal — she was abandoned, miles from help, with no one to rely on but herself.

In 2016, the avid hiker and adrenaline junkie set out to tackle the John Muir Trail, one of America’s most famous backpacking routes, with her close friend and longtime training partner, John, with whom she had the utmost trust.

But what was supposed to be an empowering, life-changing experience for the friends turned into something straight out of an episode of “Dateline.”

Is this a thing? Really? This started with a Guardian article earlier this week …

Women are being abandoned by their partners on hiking trails. What’s behind ‘alpine divorce’?

Are the police using racist cameras?

Ever since the Macpherson Report of 1999, the police have been working extremely hard to reassure us that they’re not “institutionally racist”. Unfortunately, though, they’ve just hit an unexpected snag.

It seems that, quite unwittingly, they’ve been using racist cameras.

In recent years, police forces have taken to catching suspects using a technology known as LFR (live facial recognition). This week, however, police in Essex said they’d suspended its use after academics found that the LFR cameras were “statistically significantly more likely to correctly identify” people who are black than people who aren’t. The finding has given rise to fears that the technology is racially biased.

France: Jihadist Faces Life Over Yazidi Sex Slave Atrocities

A French jihadist is being tried in absentia in Paris over Islamic State (IS) crimes committed against the Yazidi minority in the Middle East, with prosecutors calling for a life sentence.

Sabri Essid, born in 1984, joined IS in Syria in 2014 and is presumed to have died in 2018. In the absence of confirmed proof of death, French courts have proceeded with the case. He faces charges of genocide, crimes against humanity, and complicity in crimes committed between 2014 and 2016.

Jamie Sarkonak: Bird conservation — the latest field to take up race-based hiring

DEI Bird

In Quebec, government-sponsored racial discrimination is totally OK — as long as it’s directed at white people.

That’s the conclusion of the province’s human rights tribunal last week, having examined the case of a bird conservation non-profit, QuébecOiseaux, which refused to consider applications from white people for a temporary position in 2021.

Zero Population Growth From Immigration Is a Welcome Breather for Canada

A new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer projects that Canada’s population growth will be flat this year due to immigration cutbacks and major outflows of temporary residents. For the average Canadian, this is good news.

The report analyzes the “demographic implications” of the Carney government’s first Immigration Levels Plan, released alongside the federal budget in November 2025, finding that Canada’s population growth “will remain flat in 2026” and only inch up to 0.3 percent in 2027.

A long-ago covert operation shows how special forces could reopen Hormuz

The world’s attention is now fixed on a narrow but strategically essential stretch of water: the Strait of Hormuz.

Following the US-Israeli decision to obliterate Iran’s leadership and its offensive and nuclear capabilities, Tehran has responded in its typical asymmetric fashion. With their air defences destroyed and missile reserves depleted, the mullahs of the theocracy have once again sought to weaponise the oil price by reducing the flow of oil through the Strait. Nothing weakens Western resolve like an economic crisis.

Adamson Barbeque owner loses COVID-19 Charter challenge. Shutting restaurant during lockdown not a ‘seizure,’ judge says

Pitmaster Adam Skelly has failed to convince a judge that the government violated his constitutional rights by shutting down his restaurant during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Superior Court Justice Janet Leiper dismissed Skelly’s case this week, writing in her decision that the city and province acted appropriately in order to protect the public from “serious risk of illness, hospitalization, and death.”
