JK Rowling: Emma Watson poured petrol on trans attacks against me
JK Rowling has accused Emma Watson of “pouring petrol on the flames” when she was suffering death threats over trans rights.
The author rounded on Watson and the other former child stars of the Harry Potter films who disagreed with her criticism of trans ideology, claiming that they were “ignorant” and adding that, unlike them, she “wasn’t a multimillionaire at 14”.
I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.
I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should… https://t.co/c0pz19P7jc

Worth a revisit just to highlight that the ingrates are ungrateful little shits.
Doug Ford Worried He May Have To Do Something Conservative
‘I don’t know who these yahoos are’: Doug Ford dismisses new conservative group Project Ontario
A defensive Premier Doug Ford has dismissed the conservative activist organization Project Ontario as “yahoos” and a “radical right group.”
In the wake of a Star article on the nascent think tank being launched Tuesday at Toronto’s Gardiner Museum, Ford was asked if he were open to any of its right-wing ideas.
“I don’t even know who these guys are. They sound like a bunch of radical rights. You know, folks, I’m not in favour of the radical left and the radical right,” he told reporters Monday in Hamilton.
YouTube to pay $24.5m to settle Trump lawsuit over Capitol riot
YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5m (£18.6m) to settle a lawsuit brought by Donald Trump, filed after the video platform suspended his account in the wake of the 6 January attack on US Capitol.
The settlement from the video streaming giant’s parent company Alphabet – which also owns Google – comes after social media sites X/Twitter and Facebook also agreed to pay Trump for suspending his accounts.
Trump had accused YouTube and other tech companies of political bias, claiming they had unfairly censored conservative voices after the Capitol riot in 2021.
Poilievre claims Christians ‘may be the number 1’ victims of hate-based violence
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Monday that Christians and their places of worship are being targeted and, if elected, he will crack down on religion-based hate through tougher sanctions for crimes like arson.
Speaking to reporters at an announcement on food inflation, Poilievre said he has watched with alarm at the “terrible” spate of church burnings, incidents he described as “terrorist attacks” directed at Christians.
They certainly are world wide thanks primarily to Muslims. And I have seen in the press that Church desecrations are treated as mere vandalism by local authorities.
Blogger arrested for sharing anti-Hamas meme — and claims officer didn’t know about terror group’s crimes
A British blogger has been arrested at his home for sharing a meme saying “F–k Hamas.”
Pete North, 47, shared a video of police arriving at his home in Yorkshire late last Thursday and telling him he was being arrested because he “posted something on the internet” which someone from their hate crime team “didn’t appreciate.”
Even though his meme also said “f–k Palestine” and “f–k Islam,” the cops seemed most focused on him offending the terror group behind the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, North told the Telegraph.
Canada Is Falling for China’s Climate Promises the Same Way the West Fell for Beijing’s WTO Myths
Ottawa is once again easing closer to Beijing, this time under the banner of climate policy. The suggestion is that Canada should welcome China’s pledges on carbon neutrality and treat them as an opportunity for common ground on net-zero emissions. On the surface, it looks pragmatic. In practice, it is naive. Canada risks mistaking performance for progress, applauding promises while ignoring the record of the world’s largest polluter, while granting Beijing the leverage it seeks through climate diplomacy.

Elephants flip and trample British tourists’ canoes in Botswana
A canoe carrying British tourists was capsized and trampled by an elephant in a crocodile-filled river in Botswana.
The bull elephant charged at several canoes which were on a wildlife safari in the Okavango Delta on Saturday. It was believed to have been protecting its young after the guides steering the canoes misjudged how close they could get.
British & US tourists cheat death in miraculous escape from elephant reminding them whose turf it is

McTEAGUE: To end the trade war, scrap the EV mandate
To anyone who thought that the Liberals’ decision to postpone enforcement of their Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate by one year was part of a well-thought-out plan to get that disastrous program back on track, well, every day brings with it news that you were wrong. In fact, the whole project seems to be coming apart at the seams.

The man behind the digital ID push is Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle, CBS, CNN, and, soon, TikTok. He wants data centralization and total surveillance.

U.S. Deports Planeload of Iranians After Deal With Tehran, Officials Say
The deportation flight to Iran is the most stark push yet by the Trump administration to deport migrants even to places with harsh human rights conditions.
The Trump administration is deporting a planeload of around 100 Iranians back to Iran from the United States, according to two senior Iranian officials involved in the negotiations and a U.S. official with knowledge of the plans.
Iranian officials said that the plane, a U.S.-chartered flight, took off from Louisiana on Monday night and was scheduled to arrive in Iran by way of Qatar sometime on Tuesday. And the U.S. official confirmed that plans for the flight were in the final stages. All the officials spoke to The New York Times on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details publicly.
Meanwhile in Canada …

Eric Ham: Border issues a potential derailment to CUSMA extension
Recent testimony by FBI Director Kash Patel before the House Oversight Committee offers a window into what could be the central issue to potentially see the United States withdraw from Canada-U.S.-Mexico Free Trade agreement (CUSMA).
Responding to a question about the risk of terrorism posed by illegal border crossings from the north, Patel said that while there has been a drop in suspected terrorist crossings from the southern border, there has been an increase in crossings from the north.
The MAGA firebrand stated, “we need more focus on the northern border” suggesting terrorists are originating from China, Russia, the Middle East, and Africa.
