RCMP- 25-year-old man arrested following sexual assault
When police arrived at the scene, they learned that a man had been walking around the premises, and was groping people. There were at least twelve victims, some of whom were under the age of 16.
Police located the individual who was still on the premises, and arrested him without incident. He was later released from custody.
…if you think criticizing Hamas is criticizing your Muslim neighbour, you just might be the bigoted one.
I have a better idea: Why not shut this thing down entirely? There’s no way to make an institution premised on the idea of collective rights somehow less bad than it actually is.
The Opposition Conservatives vowed Friday that a future Pierre Poilievre-led government would remove the man the Liberals just appointed to lead the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
[Lantsman] said Dattani has a “long track record of anti-Israel statements,” including a “justification of terrorism,” and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should demand Dattani stand down or “fire him.”
If it’s not shut down, then travesties like this one will just become commonplace.
This extortion call in Punjabi is chilling. The extortionist demands money from an Abbotsford trucking company and doesn’t flinch in threatening the man’s family, and encourages him to record the call. These people are not afraid of the law.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced that he might start buying up hotels to house the surge of refugee claimants.
Miller said the move would reduce costs associated with long-term hotel bookings, which is one of the government’s current strategies.
Currently, Ottawa is funding approximately 4,000 hotel rooms for 7,300 asylum seekers, many transferred from provincial shelters and churches, as reported in the Globe and Mail.
“Despite efforts to stabilize the number of asylum claimants, these numbers aren’t going down drastically anytime soon,” Miller said.
The Immigration Minister further said the Liberals’ latest strategy to buy up hotels could include federal and provincial officials to provide services on-site.
From February 2023 to February 2024, over $100 million was spent putting up refugee claimants in Niagara Falls hotels alone.
Do not fear. He has a way to pay for it.

Who knew that an inequitable distribution of bicycle infrastructure was indicative of racism? It’s anyone’s guess as to what an equitable distribution might be or how one could even determine that. If you have an opportunity to build bridges, why not just burn them instead by making prospective allies feel like chumps?
But until white allies in the biking community recognize diversity in cycling and see it as more than just a sport but a way of life, Williams says, those disparities will persist.
But the biggest and most important thing an ally can do is shut up, listen, and amplify the voices of Black and brown folks, who are often silenced, Williams says.
By 1 p.m., the predominantly Black and brown mechanics she’d hired had already tuned up more than 50 [bikes].
One supposes that any white mechanics were instructed to fix the damned bikes in silence.
You go, girl. (sorry, link fixed)
Marine Le Pen’s National Rally was on track to dominate the first round of France’s legislative election, dealing a major blow to President Emmanuel Macron and setting the stage for a far-right party to control the country’s government for the first time in its modern history.
The National Rally was projected to get between 33% and 34.2% of the vote, according to initial projections from four polling companies on Sunday. The left-wing New Popular Front coalition was set to get between 28.5% and 29.6% and Macron’s centrist alliance between 21.5% and 22.4%.
Even though Macron’s presidency isn’t formally at stake – and he’s said he has no plans to resign – Sunday’s result indicates he’ll likely have to share governing responsibilities with Le Pen’s group, which opposes most of his priorities, from migration and pension reform to strengthening the European Union.
Le Pen said her party “practically wiped out the Macron bloc” when speaking to supporters in her constituencey in Northern France Sunday evening. “The French have shown in a vote without ambiguity their will to turn the page on seven years of corrosive power.”
Well, we are a post-national country.
Trudeau’s former defence minister Harjit Sajjan redirected resources away from saving Canadians and Afghan collaborators during the disastrous 2021 pullout from Afghanistan, instructing special forces to rescue 225 Sikhs instead.

Fallout: Party unity in shambles.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the federal government will not yet be pursuing a potential federal program that would give immigrants in Canada illegally the right to stay amid backlash within its own party.
Miller presented the proposed program to cabinet last week, which was met with strong opposition from some MPs, the minister said in an interview with the Globe and Mail.

Shortly after Dattani was appointed to lead the [Canadian Human Rights Commission] in mid-June, National Post learned that in 2015 he had shared the stage with a member of an Islamic fundamentalist group and repeatedly lectured during “Israel Apartheid Week” at British universities about the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. According to a Government of Canada factsheet, attempts to boycott and sanction Israel are one of its six core examples of antisemitism.
Shimon Fogel, the long-standing president of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), told the Post that the organization is “deeply concerned” about Dattani’s appointment given that he “has directly associated with individuals and groups affiliated with listed terror entities and has a history of making highly troubling antisemitic statements.” Fogel saw Dattani’s ascension to head the CHRC as underscoring “a crisis of confidence” with the body that “undermines our confidence in the Commission’s ability to adjudicate issues of hate and discrimination.”
Fogel said the controversy calls into question the justice ministry’s vetting process.
No, it doesn’t. He was exactly the kind of diversity hire they were looking for.
We’d be much better off if such people would choose to lead by example, but then it’s hard to be part of a mass movement when you’re dead. Considering that this screed was written in 2015, it’s frightening to note that we have now regressed to the point where hate speech crime is an actual offense in several jurisidictions.
White people are like a cancer and oppression is a symptom of the cancer. Cut out the cancer altogether – with the cancer being white people – and you get rid of all of the oppression which white people cause.
Finally, laws against hate speech will serve to prevent whites from complaining about this, as any white person who complains will be arrested, given a long prison sentence, and made an example of for the rest of the remaining white population.
Brought to justice: Laval police arrest three suspects in Desjardins data theft
Three men, including a West Island resident, were arrested Wednesday by Laval police as suspects in the theft of a massive amount of client data from Mouvement Desjardins five years ago.
Laval police also said they are looking for a fourth suspect in the leak of information used to commit $8.9 million worth of fraud. Wednesday’s operation involved several Laval police officers and investigators and was the result of what the police force said was “one of the most complex investigations that the service has experienced in its history.” […]
Two of the men arrested on Wednesday, Ayoub Kourdal, 36, of Pierrefonds, and Imad Jbara, 33, of St-Hubert, are scheduled to appear before a judge at the Laval courthouse Thursday morning. A third man, Nassim Alikacem, 30, of St-Augustin-de-Desmaures, was released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Telegraph- Germany is descending into chaos – and it will take the rest of the eurozone down with it
It is now little more than a “developing country”. Its stock market is a “junk shop” selling old tat. And its reputation as a place to do business has “never been so bad’. In the middle of the UK’s dismal election campaign, it would be easy to imagine that Britain was the country under discussion.
But Theodor Weimer, the head of the once mighty Deutsche Börse, was describing his native Germany. And he was absolutely right. After a series of catastrophic policy mistakes by centrist leaders, there is no way back for Germany – and its decline is only going to accelerate from here.

Macron calls snap elections.
France’s finance minister said on Monday that the snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron after a bruising loss to the far right in European Parliament elections would be the most consequential legislative vote in the republic’s history.
Macron’s shock decision amounts to a roll of the dice on his political future. It could hand a great deal of power to Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) after years on the sidelines, and neuter his presidency three years before it is due to end.
The legislative vote will take place on June 30, less than a month before the start of the Paris Olympics, with a second round on July 7.

It was the height of audacity and hypocrisy for Mayor Plante to tweet yesterday that the images from Rafah were, “extremely troubling and shocking” and that, “Montreal, a metropolis of peace, joins its voice to those who are calling for a ceasefire and respect for international law.” […]
Why Mayor Plante have you never expressed shock at Hamas’ treatment of its own people? Why Mayor Plante have you never condemned the Hamas leaders for the slaughter of Israelis on Oct.7th?
Why Mayor Plante have you never demanded that Hamas release the hostages? Why Mayor Plante have you never demanded that Hamas – a recognized terrorist organization in this country – themselves cease fire and lay down its arms? And why Mayor Plante are you complicit in condemning Israel which is engaged in a war of self defense against an organization that was the official government of a political jurisdiction that breached international law by invading Israel while you have been silent on Syria’s President Al-Assad who has slaughtered over 300,000 of his own people?
The answer to these whys is that Montreal’s Mayor is pandering for radical Islamist votes. Radical Islamists who by their own creed would replace her with an Imam rather than be governed by a woman. She is jeopardizing the safety and security of all Montrealers by giving license to the mobs that clog our streets, assault our citizens, disrupt commerce and movement and practice intimidation with blood-curdling screams calling for the extinction of Israel and the eradication of Jews.
Demographics is destiny.
