Lydia Mugambe, a Ugandan lawyer who served as a High Court Judge in Uganda beginning in 2013 and as a Judge of the UN International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT), the successor body to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, since May 2023, was convicted on 13 March 2025 at Oxford Crown Court on four counts: conspiracy to facilitate a breach of UK immigration law, arranging travel with a view to exploitation, requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labor, and conspiracy to intimidate a witness.
She was also a fellow at Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights in 2017. She was studying for a doctorate in law at Oxford University at the time of the offences.
Mugambe had met the victim in Uganda when the victim was 19 years old and employed her there as a nanny and maid.
He, Too, Admires Their Basic Dictatorship
A legal challenge to Quebec’s secularism law, known as Bill 21, will be heard at the Supreme Court of Canada beginning Monday, and legal experts say whatever the eventual ruling, it will have a profound effect on constitutional law in Canada.
The highly anticipated high court challenge to Bill 21 has been years in the making, but legal debate is likely to focus primarily on Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the provision known as the “notwithstanding clause,” which shields legislation from most court challenges over violations of fundamental rights.
François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec government pre-emptively invoked the provision into the law passed in June 2019.
The Quebec law, known as Act respecting the laicity of the state, sets out the principles of secularism in the province. Among its most controversial measures is the prohibition of civil servants who are considered in positions of power — such as police officers, teachers and judges — from wearing religious symbols at work.
“What lies at the heart of the challenge before the Supreme Court is far less the act on state secularism than the criteria for suspending the application of human rights and freedoms,” said Louis-Philippe Lampron, a professor at the Université Laval’s School of Law.
“That’s why the upcoming Supreme Court decision will be a true earthquake in constitutional law, no matter which way the Supreme Court rules.”

Just How Far Can Iranian Missiles Fly?
The following may be propaganda, so view it with healthy skepticism:
If it really is true that Iran has fired missiles at Diego Garcia, one of the key assumptions about Iran’s missile program has collapsed.
For years, Iran's accepted maximum range hovered around 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles). A missile that can reach Diego Garcia implies a… pic.twitter.com/ehhScVZFeI

If the Iranians really do have such long range capabilities, shouldn’t they be stopped? Asking for my European friends.

Is Our Diversities Learing?
Immigration fraud has overwhelmed Canada’s international student program, the Auditor General found Monday, with 153,000 students flagged as potentially non-compliant, funding to investigate only 2,000 potential fraud cases per year, and nearly all of 800 individuals who fraudulently entered Canada later approved for permanent status or immigration extensions.
One number above all others defines the scale of the failure: of 153,000 international students flagged as potentially non-compliant with Canadian study permit conditions, the federal government investigated fewer than 4,100 — laying bare an enforcement system so overwhelmed it cannot meaningfully police the program it is mandated to protect.

Take yourself back to Limbaugh at his prime. It’s the Dittohead Decade, and Rush is blistering the Clinton Administration hour by hour.
Then Rush does something remarkable. He tells you that the communist Chinese are someone we should partner with. That the men who hijacked TWA 847 were in fact the good guys. That the Russia of Yanayev represented a missed opportunity; a solid alternative to the post-Cold War corruption of the American elite.
He says it all with a completely straight face.

Can you imagine the trouble we’d be in had the Liberals kept the not-smart Governor?
November 17, 2025: Algoma Steel Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTL; TSX: ASTL) (“Algoma” or “the Company”), a leading Canadian producer of hot and cold rolled steel sheet and plate products, today announced that it has completed its $500 million financing transaction with the Governments of Canada and Ontario, consistent with the binding term sheets announced on September 29, 2025.

“Stop Truck 1, stop!”
An Air Canada jet travelling from Montreal to New York City’s LaGuardia Airport Sunday night crashed into a fire truck after landing on a runway, killing the flight’s two pilots and injuring dozens of passengers.
U.S. authorities say all 72 passengers and four crew members present on the flight have been accounted for, and 41 people were taken to two hospitals in Queens after the crash, with nine still in care as of Monday morning, some in serious condition.
Airport officials said the fire truck was responding to a separate incident related to an aborted takeoff of a United Airlines flight.
Four firefighters in critical.
This seems fairly clear case of human error, as the ATC was focused on a flight emergency and sent the truck across the runway in error.
Update: Video of the crash.
