Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has condemned far-right Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson for saying mosques should be demolished, calling the statement “disrespectful.”
“In Sweden, we don’t tear down places of worship,” Kristersson said on Monday, Swedish outlet SVT reported.
Åkesson came under fire on Saturday for saying that Sweden should ban the establishment of new mosques, while suggesting it should also demolish existing ones in the country.
Pierre Poilievre has already dubbed the next trek to the polls as “the carbon tax election.” In reality, though, it is more likely to be “the Pierre Poilievre election” — a referendum on the Canadian public’s comfort level with the leader of the official Opposition.

A Metropolitan Police officer used a Taser on a ten-year-old girl twice inside her home as she was running away from him, a disciplinary hearing was told.
PC Jonathan Broadhead fired the device within seconds of arriving at the flat in southwest London where the girl had threatened her mother with garden shears and hit her with a hammer.
The girl, referred to as Child A, was hospitalised as a result of the incident which the officer claimed was a necessary use of force.
This is the same police force that won’t lay a hand on Hamas Supporters.
Riots are dangerous, undemocratic, and corrosive of trust and order. So when they become a significant form of political action, they warn that your system is falling apart. If you’re willing to listen.
Consider recent riots in Ireland. They seem surprising despite Ireland’s long troubled history because, outside Ulster, the Emerald Isle has over the last century been more dormant than explosive. But what isn’t surprising is the complacency of the political elite.
The liberal orthodoxy on mass immigration must change. Even when it was thought that net migration had hit a historic 600,000 last year, it seemed to tip the country into precarious and uncharted territory. But the revision of that figure upwards to 750,000 has plunged politics into the realm of parody. In a country where the refusal to deliver Brexit fully has left millions feeling duped and ignored, that is dangerous. We may be on the cusp of the country’s second major political upset in seven years. The Reform Party is surging, even without the starpower of Nigel Farage, and the Tories face electoral annihilation over their abject failure to bring down the migration numbers.
OTTAWA – A new report from Statistics Canada says life expectancy for the average Canadian at birth has fallen for three straight years, from 82.3 years in 2019 to 81.3 in 2022.
The report on deaths shows New Brunswick saw the biggest decline in life expectancy in 2022, dropping to 79.8 years from 80.9 in 2021.
A working group under the auspices of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada believes training future doctors should concentrate more on social justice and anti-racism than “medical expertise.”
The idea was proposed by an anti-racism expert working group as a potential addition to CanMEDS, the framework for physician training slated for renewal in 2025. If implemented, it would elevate what is increasingly a destructive, divisive Marxist ideology over the Enlightenment ideals of science and reason.
As he sentenced an Indigenous man — who has been in and out of custody most of his life — to yet another prison term last week, a Toronto judge couldn’t help but ask: “To what end?”
Ontario Court Justice André Chamberlain called into question the usefulness of the correctional system and the lack of community supports as he sentenced Jayson Pothier to three years for breaking and entering and robbery in a ruling that experts say demonstrates a growing judicial frustration with the inability of prisons to actually rehabilitate people.
“Significant jail sentences have been imposed on you in the past,” Chamberlain said in his decision addressed directly to Pothier, who represented himself in court and pleaded guilty to his latest charges.
The guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG-87), one of the many American naval assets tasked with maintaining free navigation of maritime shipping routes, came under attack over the weekend.
FOLLOWING the acquittal by a jury of nine Extinction Rebellion supporters who caused £500,000 damage to the HSBC headquarters in Canary Wharf, a linked group called Money Rebellion superglued the locks of 50 Barclays branches overnight.
A press release from XR said: ‘At dead of night and armed only with tubes of superglue, activists held the number one funder of fossil fuels in Europe to account for its continued climate-wrecking criminal damage which endangers the future of all life on the planet.
While the release of the first groups of hostages held by Hamas has inevitably raised hopes about the fate of the remaining Israeli hostages, it also exposes the Biden administration’s worrying lack of commitment to supporting Israel’s declared aim of destroying the Islamist terror group.
In the immediate aftermath of Hamas terrorists committing the worst terrorist atrocity in Israel’s history on October 7, US President Joe Biden was quick to reassure Jerusalem that Washington fully supported Israel’s right to defend itself.
The UN’s COP28 climate conference has always been more political than scientific. But now more than ever, the green agenda looks to be in jeopardy.
Whatever you may read in the establishment press, the world is turning away from draconian climate policies. Already developing countries are increasingly open about expanding the use of fossil fuels. Indeed, the two rising world powers, China and India, as well as wannabes like Iran and Russia, all plan to burn more fossil fuels, including coal in the coming years.
An Algerian immigrant stabs a bunch of kids outside a Catholic school in Dublin and the response is that only bigots jump to conclusions.
A landlord-tenant dispute in Chicago spins into violence and somehow, even though the landlord isn’t Jewish, this is blamed on Israel’s campaign against Hamas.
