How a joke ended up before Canada’s top court

A decade ago, as part of his stand-up act, a Canadian comedian began telling a joke about a disabled young singer. This is how that joke ended up in front of the country’s top court.

Jeremy Gabriel was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome, a genetic disorder that can affect facial bone structure and, in his case, caused severe deafness.

Despite this, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a singer, performing for public figures from songstress Celine Dion to Pope Benedict XVI – all before he reached his teens – and achieving minor celebrity status in his home province of Quebec.

Sweden Democrats Spark Debate With Demand to Stop All Immigration ‘That is a Burden’

According to the Sweden Democrats, who advocate severely limiting the intake of immigrants, the “deeply irresponsible migration policy” of the last thirty years has resulted in social, economic, and cultural problems.

The national-conservative Sweden Democrats have unleashed another round of debate about Sweden’s immigration policy by demanding a total stop to asylum and family immigration.

“Sweden needs a total stop, for all immigration that constitutes a social, cultural, or economic burden and a moratorium on the reception of quota refugees”, their leader Jimmie Åkesson tweeted.

Japanese website maps neighbourhoods that have noisy children

Chatty neighbours and children letting off steam on the street have become the target of a controversial website in Japan that identifies neighbourhoods where noise levels may be too much for those in search of a quieter life.

The Dorozoku (street tribe) map is ablaze with colourful circles indicating places to avoid because, it says, they reverberate to the sound of children at play and adults gossiping within earshot of their neighbours.

Biden Cannot Allow the Taliban to Destroy Trump’s Peace Legacy

With former US President Donald J. Trump no longer able to dictate US policy on Afghanistan, the Taliban are exploiting the opportunity to increase their efforts to seize control of the country in spite of the peace accord they signed with the Trump administration last year.

Under the terms of that agreement with the US, the Taliban agreed to negotiate a peaceful resolution of this benighted country’s long-running civil war in return for Washington agreeing to withdraw all its remaining forces. In addition, they agreed to cut their ties with Islamist terrorist organisations such as Al-Qaeda.

Yet, to judge by recent events in Afghanistan, the Taliban are showing little inclination to abide by the terms of the deal.

ISIS Brides Sue Sweden For Violating Human Rights

A number of former Daesh* brides currently stuck in internment camps in Syria are now suing Sweden in the European Court of Justice for “failure” to bring them “home”, which they consider a “serious violation” of their human rights.

“We believe that Sweden’s failure to bring Swedish women and children from the camps in northeastern Syria violates their human rights. As representatives of a number of women and children in the Roj camp, we therefore complain to the European Court of Justice and claim that Sweden has a human rights obligation to bring them home to Sweden”, the head of their legal team, Percy Bratt, wrote in an opinion piece in the legal newspaper Dagens Juridik, calling their situation “life-threatening”.

John Ivison: Maverick Party stands alone in push for Western independence — for now

Jay Hill is an unlikely separatist. The 68-year-old former cabinet minister was a committed federalist in the Harper government.

But he said he has become so disillusioned with the political status quo under Liberal and Conservative governments that he has reluctantly come around to the idea of Western independence.

‘I make no apologies for that’: London, Ont. bar owner stands by signs some have called racist

LONDON, ONT. — The owner of a bar in downtown London, Ont. is standing by a sign that has caused outrage as some have deemed its messages racist.

“Mr. Ford History will show lockdowns caused more damage 2 the public then the China virus,” is what the sign outside the Ale House on Dundas Street read earlier this week.

Backlash began to spread online and the sign was changed, but for many the change was no better.

Brought to you by the same “anti-racists” who claim having white skin makes you a racist I bet.
