A human rights law professor who was cleared of Islamophobia has accused Bristol University of putting his life in danger to avoid being seen as anti-Muslim.
Steven Greer, 66, who was at the university until his retirement last year, said that he has been forced to wear a disguise and carry a weapon for his own protection after undergraduates at Bristol University Law School complained that elements of his course were racist and discriminatory.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser told the House of Commons government operations committee on Feb. 15 that the involvement of consulting firm McKinsey & Company in his department had no influence on how he determined immigration targets for the country.
“I don’t have a relationship with representatives of McKinsey or Dominic Barton, if anybody had been curious,” Fraser said.
“The company had not advised me directly or influenced the decision-making about our immigration levels plan.”
He’s a Liberal which is the same as saying he’s a compulsive liar.
The best friend of one of the murdered University of Idaho students found his pal stabbed to death in bed then called 911, rather than one of the surviving two roommates in the house, according to a report.
NewsNation reported Wednesday that Ethan Chapin was found dead in bed with his girlfriend Xana Kernodle by a longtime buddy, who went as far to check his pulse before calling 911, according to their sources.
Chapin and Kernodle, both 20, were killed on Nov. 13 in a knife attack along with friends Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, at their off-campus home is Moscow, Idaho.
Odd, not sure it means anything that this was not corrected by anyone in the know.
OTTAWA — Onerous taxes and regulatory fees have made Canada’s legal cannabis sector unsustainable, industry representatives said Wednesday as they urged the Liberal government to make changes in the upcoming federal budget.
“Most of our most of our top line goes right to the government and it’s making it uneconomic for businesses to continue,” said Margaret Brodie, acting CEO of Rubicon Organics, at a press conference on Parliament Hill organized by the Cannabis Council of Canada, which represents licensed producers and processors.
More Americans are expressing their unhappiness with the level of immigration into the U.S., with less than 30 percent saying they are satisfied with the influx of new residents.
New data compiled by a Gallup poll found that the satisfaction rate has fallen six percent in a year, going from 34 percent in 2022 to 28 percent in 2023.
The data represents the lowest number for the U.S. in over a decade.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government is working “very closely with American partners” and the Iranian diaspora in Canada to target people with ties to Iran’s regime.
The PM was responding to a CBC News report about three businessmen active in Canada who are facing felony charges in the U.S. They’re accused of conspiring to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran.
A U.S. indictment in April 2021 accused Salim Henareh, Khalil Henareh and Saeed Torab Abtahi of playing a role in a scheme with at least seven other people to conceal more than $750 million US worth of transactions on Iran’s behalf to slip past American sanctions.
A federal judge slapped a new bail restriction on Sam Bankman-Fried Tuesday, after finding out the disgraced FTX founder has been using a virtual private network (VPN) to watch football in recent weeks.
Prosecutors filed a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan Monday night, alerting him that they discovered Bankman-Fried used a VPN to access the internet on Jan. 29 and Feb. 12, raising concerns that his use of a private network prevents them from monitoring his behavior online.
An Ontario school trustee has been barred from attending board meetings in part because she publicly questioned the district’s stated policy of accommodating a student’s decision to switch genders while keeping it a secret from their parents.

Two Canadian authors have expanded their book challenging the legitimacy of political and medical COVID-19 narratives and responses.
Marco Navarro-Genie, founder of the Haultain Research Institute, and University of Calgary political scientist Barry Cooper released their expanded edition of “Canada’s COVID: The Story of a Pandemic Moral Panic.”
During their online book launch, Cooper said “concern for the truth” motivated him to write.
“The narrative that is being portrayed by referencing this letter is patently false. James has not been removed from Project Veritas. Nowhere in that letter was there ever a suggestion to remove James from the organization,” Stack wrote.
Clarity but no clearer.
Russia’s army is estimated to have lost nearly 40% of its prewar fleet of tanks after nine months of fighting in Ukraine, according to a count by the specialist thinktank the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS).
That rises to as much as 50% for some of the key tanks used in combat, forcing Russia to reach into its still sizeable cold war-era stocks. Ukraine’s tank numbers are estimated to have increased because of the number it has captured and supplies of Soviet-era tanks from its western allies.
John Chipman, the thinktank’s chair, said the war had been “a political and military failure for Russia” highlighting shortcomings in leadership and deficiencies in its munitions, despite Kremlin modernisation efforts.

Swept under the rug for more than a year, one of the Biden administration’s “sins of omission” are making headlines again.
On November 17, 2021, the State Department inexplicably removed Nigeria from its list of Countries of Particular Concern (CPC list). These are nations that either engage in, or tolerate, violations of religious freedom. The Biden State Department removed Nigeria from the list despite strong objections from several human rights organizations, many of which insist that Christians are even undergoing a genocide in Nigeria.
The concept of 15-minute cities is advancing in Canada, as is a backlash from those who regard it as a threat to freedom.
The framework, pioneered in 2015 at the Paris COP21 climate summit by the French-Colombian professor Carlos Moreno, calls for areas where a 15-minute bike ride or walk would connect residents to everything they would need. Urbanist Dan Luscher promotes the idea on 15minutecity.com but acknowledges its inherent curtailment of free travel and free markets.
Western analysts are spreading a false narrative
If you were a Russian mother, would you rather believe that your son gave his life heroically fighting Ukrainian Nazis, or that he died butchering innocent civilians? The former, most likely. It is not easy to admit — to oneself or to others — that you live in a country that has murdered tens of thousands of Ukrainians, or that has pointlessly sacrificed the lives of its own people.
Yet it is one thing to turn a blind eye to the truth, and quite another to be “brainwashed”. The West is fixated on the idea that “Putin’s war” is not Russia’s, and that the Russian people only support it because they have been “zombified” by a totalitarian regime. But this is missing the wood for the trees.
Batya Ungar-Sargon on how the working classes are being sacrificed to elite virtue-signalling.
The modern left hasn’t just abandoned its former working-class supporters – it has actively turned against them, too. More often than not, in elite leftist circles, ordinary working people are looked down upon with disdain, as having the wrong political views and the wrong cultural tastes. Worse still, many of the left’s preferences are clearly harmful to workers. The green agenda, in particular, shows little regard for the lives and livelihoods of vast swathes of the population. So how did we get here?
