An Ontario tribunal has initiated a new hearing for a Windsor police officer appealing his conviction and penalty for a donation to the Freedom Convoy in 2022. A defence lawyer said the prior conviction was “unduly harsh” and disregarded the officer’s freedom of expression.
A four-day pause and the release of 150 Palestinian prisoners. Seen from London or New York, this seems like a reasonable measure to secure the return of 50 Israeli hostages. Pause the fighting; allow humanitarian aid to reach Gaza; satisfy the Americans, who were reportedly pushing hard for the deal; get a good number of your citizens back. What’s not to like?
Now Bethnal Green schoolkids are chanting anti-Semitic slogans – and no one seems to care.
The London I love, cherish and grew up in feels like it is about to disappear.
On Thursday last week, 400 children skipped school to march through Bethnal Green to protest against Israel. The marchers demanded a ‘ceasefire’, but made no reference whatsoever to the act that started Israel’s assault on Gaza – Hamas’s murder of Israeli civilians and taking of hostages on 7 October.
Ever since Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, along with ordinary Arab Muslims from Gaza, invaded Israel, murdered, raped and kidnapped women and children, the debate has been about how innocent they are. And how easy Israel should be willing to go on them.
Calla Mairead Walsh had a meteoric rise in the realm of “progressive” politics as a young teenager, which included recognition in The New York Times and by NPR—she also self-identifies as a “communist” and, wouldn’t you know it, she was just arrested for allegedly trying to “firebomb” an Israeli business establishment in New Jersey…
Biden’s pro-Israel stance is more rhetoric than reality
Last Wednesday, several dozen pro-Palestinian activists, their faces obscured by keffiyehs and Covid masks, attempted to block the entrance to the Democratic National Committee Headquarters in Washington, DC. Reports of a riot may have been hyperbole, but footage showed a chaotic demonstration reminiscent of the racial justice protests of 2020. The organisers later accused the police of attacking the “non-violent” protestors; Capitol Police claimed that six of its officers were assaulted.
So, Javier Milei is extremely scary.
That’s what the legacy media have decided: The newly elected libertarian conservative leader of Argentina is absolutely frightening. Axios calls him a “far-right libertarian who’s been compared to (former President Donald) Trump.” The New York Times writes, “Argentina Braces Itself for Its New ‘Anarcho-Capitalist’ President,” and called the election Argentina’s “Donald Trump moment.” “Who,” asks The Washington Post, “is Javier Milei, Argentina’s far-right president elect?”
A tragedy occurred a few days ago in the small town of Crépol, in the Drôme region of southern France. During a village ball, some individuals appeared, spreading panic and terror and causing the death of Thomas, a boy of 16. Today, journalists and politicians are engaged in a veritable battle of semantics. A mere news item or a major event? Ordinary violence or savagery? A brawl or an assault? Every word used to describe this episode has far-reaching consequences. Once again, the Left shines in its denial of reality concerning both the origin of the attackers and the nature of the victims.
In Crepol in SE France “Thomas” aged 16 was stabbed to death. A group of North Africans gatecrashed a party chanting “We are here to stab white people.” In all, 17 others were stabbed & two taken to hospital.
Many on the right have claimed the attack was anti-white… pic.twitter.com/jP3v1vmp9l

U.S. authorities thwarted a conspiracy to assassinate a Sikh separatist on American soil and issued a warning to India’s government over concerns it was involved in the plot, according to multiple people familiar with the case.
The target of the plot was Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, an American and Canadian citizen who is general counsel for Sikhs for Justice, a U.S.-based group that is part of a movement pushing for an independent Sikh state called “Khalistan”.

Justin Trudeau is in trouble. Canada’s Prime Minister, currently in his ninth year in power, can’t seem to do anything right lately. The Bank of Canada has blamed persistently high inflation on the Liberals’ fiscal policy, and the cost-of-living crisis across the country has Canadians turning to food banks at an all-time-record high.

Dutch politics got a blast from the past on Monday when a right-wing politician was assaulted. The country goes to the polls tomorrow and the hospitalisation of Thierry Baudet, attacked with a bottle in a bar in the northern city of Groningen, is a reminder of what happened to Pim Fortuyn in 2002.
After being assaulted in the weeks leading up to the Dutch elections, the flamboyant right-wing Fortuyn was then shot dead nine days before voters went to the polls. His assassin was an animal rights extremist who told a court he didn’t like the way Fortuyn talked about Muslims.
NEW: Conservative leader Thierry Baudet was sent to the hospital after being attacked with a beer bottle just two days before the Netherlands general election.
It’s always the violent liberals…
