The vote comes as prosecutions under the statute surge and critics warn the law is being used to shield those in power from public scrutiny.
The German parliament has rejected a proposal by the right-wing AfD to abolish Section 188 of the Criminal Code, a provision that gives public officials special protection from criminal insults, defamation, and slander.
The vote took place on Thursday evening, with all parliamentary groups except the AfD opposing the motion.
But the AfD are the fascists.
Arctic sovereignty: Gov. Gen. Mary Simon heading to Norway, Denmark and Greenland
OTTAWA – Gov. Gen. Mary Simon is set to visit Greenland, Denmark and Norway next week.
On Monday, Simon will travel to Norway, where she will take part in the Arctic Frontiers Conference in Tromso and later meet with Norway’s King Harald in Oslo.

Activists sprint to the nearest microphone.
Repeated snowfall and freezing rain have coated the open-air insane asylum known as Berlin in a thin sheet of slippery ice since the beginning of January. To spare plants, city environmental laws have long forbidden using salt on pedestrian paths and stairways, and so residents have been falling and injuring themselves at such high rates that emergency rooms have had trouble keeping up…
IF YOU are an Amazon Prime subscriber and are flicking through their meagre offerings on February 6, be sure to avoid Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision.
This documentary features our monarch wittering on about ‘harmony’ with nature.
The financial year ending 2025 was most harmonious for the Crown Estate. It made a profit of £1.1billion on offshore wind turbines licences and contracts, its biggest source of income. I imagine that His Majesty has rarely viewed the monstrosities that have desecrated our seascapes as they shred sea birds.
OTTAWA — A trespassing investigation that began at Western University and led to the discovery of what court documents describe as “numerous precursor substances and finished high explosives” has now broadened to include warrant executions in Ottawa and Gatineau, Quebec, London Police Service announced Friday.
They confirmed in an update today that additional warrants have been executed in the National Capital Region as part of the ongoing investigation, with assistance from the Ottawa Police Service, Gatineau Police Service, and the Sûreté du Québec.
Diversity Gang War?
It has been a longstanding gripe of the Welsh that they exist on the political as well as geographic fringe of the UK. A debate on BBC Radio Wales at the start of the year seemed to offer proof of this complaint: here were the senior figures from the major Welsh political parties (except Reform UK), having it out in the first formal, official debate before May’s Senedd election – theoretically one of the most significant domestic political events of the year. And not a soul in Westminster appeared to notice.
Hillary Clinton took to social media to express support for the rioters in Minneapolis even as the disgraced former candidate and her husband were dodging a congressional subpoena looking into their relationship with family friend and Clinton Foundation co-founder Jeffrey Epstein.
After condemning the Trump administration’s push to deport illegal alien criminals from Minneapolis, despite the obstruction of violent leftist rioters who had tried to murder federal law enforcement agents and bit off an agent’s finger, Clinton urged directing funding to the rioters.
Boy did America ever dodge a bullet.
A popular book in my youth was Hugh MacLennan’s Two Solitudes, in which the issue of the French and English identity of Canada was explored in the fictional character of Paul Tallard. The identity crisis of mid-twentieth-century Canada was cultural. The identity crisis of Canada in the early twenty-first century remains the story of two solitudes, but the solitudes are ideological. The “peace, order, and good government” of the United Empire Loyalists in southern Ontario, destroyed by the globalist corruption of Laurentia, is now at odds with the “of the people, by the people, for the people” worldview of Alberta. To preserve unity, Westerners accepted peace, order, and good government, but can that broken Humpty Dumpty be put back together again? I don’t think it can.
Bill Gates has issued a furious response after new Epstein files alleged that he slept with Russian girls, got a sexually-transmitted disease and asked for antibiotics to give to his then-wife Melinda.
In a rare statement that clearly conveys the depths of his anger over the latest release of files, a spokesperson for the Microsoft billionaire told the Daily Mail: ‘These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.
‘The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.’
Canada’s main opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, a populist inspired by President Trump, was retained as head of the Conservative Party on Friday, despite having led it to defeat last year in an election it had once been expected to win overwhelmingly.
In a speech before the vote at a party convention in Calgary, Alberta, Mr. Poilievre repeated many of the themes from his 2025 campaign, which ended in a loss to the Liberals, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s party, in April. Eighty-seven percent of the more than 2,500 Conservatives at the convention voted to keep Mr. Poilievre as their leader, according to results released early Saturday.
The NYTimes is fishwrap.
As mass migration, demographic and cultural anxiety, and cultural fragmentation intensify across Europe, the idea of remigration—once a fringe idea—has moved into the mainstream of the European Right and is beginning to enter the wider political conversation. Besides the problems of integration, crime, and social cohesion, remigration forces Europe to confront a deeper and long-avoided question. Namely, what is a nation, and who can truly belong to that nation? This is an important question for Europe, as most European states—setting aside long-standing indigenous and borderland minorities—could until recently treat this question as largely theoretical. Europe has never had to confront this question at today’s demographic scale or civilisational pluralism.
With one press of a button on a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through Canada’s aerospace industry and raised questions about its very future.
It caught many by surprise – but not Unifor National President Lana Payne, who has warned Canadian workers are in the “fight” of their lives.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — “‘Tariffs’ is the most beautiful word to me in the dictionary,” President Donald Trump liked to say early last year, calling it his favourite word and promising they would help usher in a new “golden age” for America.

In Ottawa, various cabinet ministers are praying that TACO – the “Trump always chickens out” theory – is still valid. Or largely so, or at least somewhat so, for they are on the verge of gambling big on the U.S. President’s rage factor.
TACO is high on their minds because Prime Minister Mark Carney and several of his cabinet ministers, including Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, are thought to be embracing the idea of Canada building the Saab Gripen fighter jet and Saab GlobalEye military surveillance plane. They are both Swedish creations whose construction in Canada would create 12,600 jobs, Saab has said.
