I can’t get past one part of this law. How are people supposed to know what’s legal if the answer depends so much on context? Canada’s Bill C-9 creates new offences for blocking access to places of worship, schools, and community centers. It also criminalizes displaying certain hate symbols to promote hatred and increases penalties …

Europe’s welfare state has reached a point where cutting it has become politically much harder than expanding it. Look at the numbers.

This whole thing never seemed right from day 1. If Mrs. Giuffre went through everything she persevered in life with Epstein, why would she take her own life just when justice was finally being delivered? Also the fact that it wasn’t bigger news smacked of a coverup. She was probably threatened in the run-up to …
