France threatens to block Shein over ‘childlike’ sex dolls

French authorities have threatened to block Chinese online store Shein if it does not remove sex dolls with “childlike” features from its website.

The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) said descriptions for the products on the Shein website “make it difficult to doubt the child pornographic nature of the content.”

The French daily newspaper Le Parisien said the product in question — an 80 centimeter (30 inch) tall doll holding a teddy bear — was accompanied by an explicitly sexual description on the Shein website.


No wonder the LPC is hot for China.

Within weeks of Shabana Mahmood becoming home secretary, her team realised that there was a serious loophole in the immigration system. A 25-year-old Eritrean man who entered the UK in a small boat and was due to be the first migrant sent back to France under the government’s flagship “one in, one out” scheme, had managed to halt his deportation flight by invoking an unexpected piece of legislation.

Abacus Data Poll: Tight Race Continues as Trump’s Trade Talk Cancellation Adds Tension Ahead of Budget

Between October 24 and 29, 2025, Abacus Data surveyed 2,922 Canadian adults about the current political climate. The findings suggest a political environment that remains remarkably stable despite several flashpoints, including Donald Trump’s abrupt withdrawal from trade talks with Canada and Pierre Poilievre’s controversial remarks about the RCMP’s handling of Liberal-linked investigations.

With the federal budget set to be tabled on November 4, and the U.S.–Canada relationship under deeper strain, Canadians appear attentive, divided, and bracing for uncertainty, but not yet shifting decisively in any political direction.

Berlin police arrest man for planning ‘jihadi’ attack

German authorities said a 22-year-old Syrian man was arrested in Berlin on Saturday on suspicion of preparing a “jihadi” attack.

The suspect was planning “a jihadi-motivated attack,” according to a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors. A unit of the police Special Task Force (SEK) had been deployed to take the man into custody.

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the arrest showed “the terrorist threat in Germany, though often abstract, remains heightened.”

Off the track

Meddling politicians, a massive contract, multimillion-dollar lawsuits and a pandemic have turned the Eglinton Crosstown LRT into a 14-year project

For months, they have glided along the middle of Toronto’s Eglinton Avenue: Sleek, empty streetcars on test runs, stopping at platforms blocked off to the public. No one gets on or off. And before the two-car vehicle pulls away, its electronic chimes sound their pointless warnings as the doors close.

Here in Scarborough, on a strip lined with mall parking lots, cars and buses full of people – relegated to the road’s remaining traffic lanes – just roll on by as though the weed-choked rail line occupying the median isn’t there.


I think they should shoot for 20 years.

Ahead of budget, Canadians want cost of living help, not deficits: poll

As the federal government prepares to release a budget expected to see major new investments and spending along with a higher deficit, Canadians say they’re most concerned about measures to reduce their cost of living, according to a new poll.

The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found 42 per cent of respondents want the budget, set to be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, to prioritize helping with the increasing cost of everyday expenses.


We can reliably count on the latter not the former.
