Iran blocks capital’s internet access as Amini protests grow

Iran has shut off the internet in parts of Tehran and Kurdistan, and blocked access to platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp, in an attempt to curb a growing protest movement that has relied on social media to document dissent.

The protests, which were sparked on 16 September after the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman in police custody, show no sign of subsiding. On Thursday, protesters torched police stations and vehicles in several cities.

Jamie Sarkonak: Laith Marouf’s delusional screed against Trudeau and ‘Zionist’ conspirators

… Laith Marouf — the antisemitic, anti-racist, pro-decolonization activist who received federal funding to make a socially just broadcasting strategy for the country — isn’t exercising it. Instead, in a statement released Monday, he doubled down on his antisemitic talking points that caused his funding to be revoked. Perhaps he should have stayed silent, because he isn’t a very sympathetic character.

There’s no future for Jews in an Islamized Europe

Essayist Sandelin writes: “I doubt those who lived here a generation ago would believe me when I tell them what is happening today.”

“I live outside Malmö, a city with 50,000 Muslims, most of them with roots in the Middle East. We cannot ignore the situation in which the Jews find themselves here, because the synagogue has to be guarded, because the seat of the community looks like a fortress, because the Jews don’t dare go out with a kippa, because people spit on the rabbi in the street, because the Jewish teachers are harassed at school, because Malmö Jews emigrate. Since getting my head bloodied by the Communist police in February 1948, I have not suffered as much violence as in Malmö, when in a demonstration for peace in the Middle East we were pelted with stones and bottles by a roaring crowd with Palestinian flags. It is natural that Malmö’s Social Democratic majority did not stop anti-Semitism in the city. Between 80 to 90 percent of voters in areas with high immigrant density vote for Social Democrats. This is what the situation of Jews in Sweden looks like today ”.

Canada must loosen Taliban sanctions amid multiple Afghanistan crises: aid groups

via GIPHY

Major humanitarian groups are urging the Trudeau government to loosen its restrictions on working with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The Canadian Red Cross, Oxfam Canada and Amnesty International are among 18 groups arguing that Ottawa has fallen behind its peers in finding loopholes for humanitarian aid while isolating the Taliban regime.

They say the Canadian sanctions are blocking their response to a humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan.

Sweden Votes Right: ‘All I Want Is for My Kid Not to Get Kidnapped and Peed on’

Two Bombings in One Night? That’s Normal Now in Sweden.

My country just voted in a right-wing government. The almost 500 bombings since 2018 may have something to do with it.

Yesterday morning, Swedes woke up to news of a kind that has become all-too familiar: During the night, powerful bombs exploded at apartment buildings in two different towns in southern Sweden.

… Among shooting suspects, 85 percent are first- or second-generation immigrants, according to the newspaper Dagens Nyheter, as immigrant neighborhoods have become hotbeds for gang crime. National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg has described the violence as “an entirely different kind of brutality than we’ve seen before” and his deputy, Mats Löfving, says that 40 criminal clans now operate throughout the country. Spreading fear are “humiliation robberies,” targeting children and youth, in which victims are subjected to degrading treatment by assailants, such as being urinated upon. Just this week, four men were sentenced for robbing, beating and urinating on an 18-year-old, who was also filmed by his tormentors.

Constitution stops Charles becoming Britain’s ‘green’ king

LONDON (AP) — On a blustery November day last year Britain’s future king stood before world leaders to deliver a rallying cry that they should “act with all despatch, and decisively” to confront a common enemy.

The clarion call — in the vast, windowless hall of a Glasgow convention center at the opening of the U.N. climate conference — concerned an issue long dear to the heart of the then-Prince Charles.

Climate change and loss of biodiversity were no different from the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the globe, he said. “In fact, they pose an even greater existential threat, to the extent that we have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing.”

I don’t think Charlie will handle this well.

2 Windsor Police Officers Who Allegedly Donated to Freedom Convoy Face Misconduct Charges

Two officers with the Windsor Police Service (WPS) are facing misconduct charges for allegedly donating money to the Freedom Convoy, a large-scale protest against federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates in Ottawa earlier this year.

The charges against constables Jason Michael Brisco and Brooke Fazekas fall under the Ontario Police Services Act, the WPS said on Sept. 20. A third civilian employee has been suspended without pay for a day, also over allegations of donating to the convoy.

Doesn’t anybody here know how to run a genocide?

Indigenous population hits 1.8M, growing at twice rate of non-Indigenous Canadians: 2021 census

The number of people identifying as Indigenous in Canada grew almost twice as fast as the non-Indigenous population and now stands at 1.8 million — about five per cent of the population — according to newly released census data.

From 2016 to 2021, the number of people in Canada identifying as Indigenous grew by 9.4 per cent. The non-Indigenous population grew by just 5.3 per cent over the same period.

While that growth rate is high, it’s almost half the growth rate for the population that identified as Indigenous between 2011 and 2016, which was 18.9 per cent.

Rex Murphy: A classroom is no place for wearing massive prosthetic breasts

The appearance of a transgender teacher from Oakville, Ont., who went viral on social media and has since received international attention, is, to be very kind, perplexing in the extreme. Regardless of one’s psychological or political disposition (identity is very political these days), it cannot be consistent with simple notions of appropriateness and professional dignity to take to a classroom of high school students wearing mammoth prosthetic breasts and a tight-fitting shirt.

Woke is the new mass hysteria.

RBC Says Canada May Soon Face Energy Shortages …

Canada’s biggest commercial bank says the country will struggle to meet soaring electricity demand in coming years unless governments make tough decisions.

Energy consumption is expected to surge 50 per cent in the next decade but the country’s ability to meet that demand is constrained by its commitment to a net zero grid by 2035, Royal Bank of Canada said in a report Tuesday. Ontario, the country’s economic engine, could face power shortages as early as 2026, the bank warned.
