Finance Minister Fayval Williams says Jamaica is seeing a “deluge” of duty-free packages, as some shoppers split orders or undervalue items to remain under the US$100 threshold. Responding to concerns raised by the Opposition spokesman on finance, Julian Robinson, who questioned whether the increase in the de minimis threshold was a policy contradiction, Williams said her reference to local retailers during her opening budget presentation was to highlight the unintended impact of the policy. She explained that the practice of “order splitting” is depriving the Government of revenue and placing added pressure on local businesses competing with untaxed imports. “The unforeseen consequence is that no revenue flows to the Treasury… that was simply not the intent of the policy.” (📷: Joseph Wellington, 🎥: Public Broadcasting Corporation of Jamaica) #BudgetDebate #JamaicaObserver #AlwaysAhead #FayvalWilliams #Budget2026

Bezalel Smotrich: "Paid a lot of money for this war, so we need to divide how we make a percentage on the land marketing later in Gaza. We've done the demolition phase, which is always the first phase of urban renewal, now we need to build." 😬

Shivpal Yadav has announced that Azam Khan could become Home Minister if the Samajwadi Party forms the government in 2027. Given Azam Khan’s controversial past statements, including his remarks involving Jaya Prada and the Bulandshahr case, the prospect has understandably raised serious concerns about the SP’s approach to women’s safety and law and order. The Home Minister is responsible for overseeing the police and maintaining public safety. Such a position requires credibility, sensitivity and a strong commitment to the dignity of victims. #सपाई_गृहमंत्री

A Sikh personal trainer and TikTok creator is alleging discrimination after he was asked to leave a Windsor, Ontario GoodLife Fitness location for wearing a kirpan, a ceremonial dagger considered one of the Five Ks of Sikh faith. Gurpartap Singh Khalsa shared video of the July 15 incident online, in which a staff member cited safety concerns after another member raised concerns about the kirpan. Khalsa argues the kirpan is protected under Canadian law as a religious article of faith, pointing to the 2006 Supreme Court of Canada ruling in Multani v Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys, which found that a total ban on kirpans violates religious freedom under the Charter unless a genuine, non-trivial safety concern exists. GoodLife Fitness has confirmed it is investigating the incident, stating the interaction did not reflect its established practices, and separately confirmed the employee involved has not been fired despite online claims suggesting otherwise. Khalsa says he has filed a police complaint alleging racial profiling.
