A years-long investigation into Durham police found that the service’s top brass oversaw a “poisoned” workplace culture that was rife with favouritism and harassment.
The Star has obtained a redacted copy of the report that officials have previously refused to release, and, for the first time, is able to reveal some of its findings.
Al-Qaeda-linked Jihadists in Mali have kidnapped and executed a female TikTok star in front of her family after accusing her of filming them and collaborating with the army.
Mariam Cisse, who posted videos about the city of Tonka in the northern Timbuktu region to her 90,000 followers, was shot dead by suspected members of the notorious Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) terror group in a public square on November 7.
News of her death has shocked the country, which is ruled by a military junta that is struggling to contain the jihadist insurgency that has gripped the country since 2012.
Data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) shows that the number of international student permits issued to Indian applicants has fallen by more than 93 per cent in the last two years.
According to data received by National Post, there were a total of 9,955 permits approved for applicants from India between January and the end of August this year. That compares to 149,875 in the same period in 2023, and 76,930 in that period last year.
We have an unwanted surplus making the correct number of permits issued ZERO.
A 27-year-old woman was stabbed by a lunatic at a Chicago train station Saturday night — nearly three months after Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was murdered by a pocketknife-wielding madman on Charlotte’s light rail system.
The victim was sitting on a bench at the UIC-Halsted Blue Line platform near the University of Illinois Chicago around 11:14 p.m. when the alleged attacker plunged a knife into her chest, according to the Chicago Police Department.
While former mayor John Tory may still be mulling a bid to get his old job back in next year’s municipal election, his successor at Toronto city hall is already bracing for a fight. Over the last few months, Mayor Olivia Chow and her allies on Toronto council have taken every opportunity to poke holes in Tory’s record.
The strategy seems designed as a pre-emptive counter to the notion that Tory was a popular and effective mayor brought down only by a personal scandal, after the Star reported about an inappropriate relationship with a mayoral staffer. Chow’s team is suggesting there’s a lot more to the Tory story.
Nothing will save Chow, well the stupidity of Toronto voters might.
Apple has agreed to block two popular gay dating apps in China as part of a fresh wave of censorship by Beijing.
The iPhone maker confirmed it had complied with demands to remove two apps, Blued and Finka, from the Chinese version of its App Store. The services are used by tens of millions of people.
Blued is a gay social network launched in China in 2012, while Beijing-based Finka is a dating app.
A violent mob attack on Jewish students at Toronto Metropolitan University was not a protest. It was, in my view, an attempted pogrom, conducted in broad daylight, in the heart of Canada’s largest city.
The event, “Triggered: From Combat to Campus,” was part of a peaceful speaking tour featuring Israel Defence Forces reservists sharing firsthand stories from October 7 and beyond. The name turned out to be ironic, as the people who reacted to the event were “triggered,” not by the truth of October 7 and Hamas’s terror, but by Israel defending itself.
Not sure I see the point of asking the people who gave the mob license to make things right.
I can’t breathe!

Three young Islamist women have been arrested in France on suspicion of plotting terror attacks in Paris to pay “homage to Bin Laden” and to mark the 2015 Bataclan theatre attack.
France’s National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has charged three women, aged 18, 19, and 21, with a “criminal terrorist conspiracy” following a months-long investigation involving wiretaps and other surveillance, which uncovered plans for a potential suicide attack in Paris.

The LCBO made some remarkable news last week: 2025 will be the first year in a decade that Ontario’s government liquor stores will turn over less than $2 billion to provincial coffers.
Most of the analysis so far is that this is due to expanding the sale of beer, wine and ready-to-drink beverages to convenience, grocery and big-box stores.
England flags are creating “no-go zones” for NHS staff around the country, health leaders have said.
Nurses and doctors report feeling intimidated by the proliferation of St George’s flags in communities, including when they are visiting patients at home.
Several NHS trust chief executives said there were examples of staff being abused and threatened, including when they have tried to take down flags outside their homes.
Good.

Nabeel Sheiban cross-examined retired child protection worker Lisa Potts on Friday, asking about various notes recorded by adoption workers and their correspondence with Becky Hamber, his client, and Brandy Cooney.
In one message read by Sheiban, Hamber said the older boy was “unhealthy” and had an eating disorder.

The country’s first openly trans lawmaker directed his partner on how to abuse children as young as 3 at a Massachusetts daycare, before asking her if the evil pair would still go to heaven.
Twisted New Hampshire ex-pol Stacie-Marie Laughton, born Barry Laughton, 41, pleaded guilty in the heinous case last week and faces up to 30 years in prison on federal child pornography convictions after exchanging despicable images with his partner, 40-year-old Lindsay Groves.
Turning Point USA, the influential rightwing college group founded by Charlie Kirk, has brought Kirk’s message to a campus with a long history of leftwing activism two months after his death.
An event at the University of California, Berkeley, on Monday evening marked the chaotic last stop of the American Comeback tour, which Kirk had just begun at the time of his death at Utah Valley University. In the aftermath of Kirk’s fatal shooting, the events have come to serve as memorials, with prominent conservative speakers, including JD Vance, highlighting the staggering impact the controversial rightwing influencer’s death has had on American politics.
