Interesting post by TZ yesterday on the halal laksa debate or more precisely, the politicisation of halal status for political gain. Will the right-wing now accuse TZ of being anti-Islam? When Nons raised the same issue, they immediately branded it as anti-Islam and Islamophobic. Like I said, the labels...

What you are about to watch is the **final round** of the most prestigious national high school debate tournament. Team A proceeds to tell Team B that they **will not** be debating the assigned topic (benefits/costs of the IMF) because trans people are being genocided by MAGA Republicans and that is way more important than debating the IMF. Team A starts off by playing an audio clip from a 1980s AIDs protest and says that “28 states want to kill” trans people like her. They tell the judges that this round "does nothing to the IMF itself" and as such they have decided that "this round is going to be a debate about debate" and the judges' "choice instead is whether to affirm our performance." They proudly declare that they will "occupy the debate space until trans debaters can participate safely." Team B then immediately concedes the round because they don’t want to dispute that trans genocide is real and be labelled transphobic. The rest of the round is a struggle session where Team A states that misgendering is “violent” and that if you do it, you should automatically lose. This is the *final round* of the *most prestigious high school debate tournament* of the school year, and they made a mockery of it with their selfish, unintelligible performative rant. The worse part? The judges praised Team A for their bravery and courage and crowned them the national champions. This is sick. It’s anti-merit, anti-debate, and anti-American. No wonder droves of kids are quitting high school debate. The National Speech and Debate Association cannot be reformed. It’s time for viable high school debate alternatives to stand up and welcome young Americans who actually want to debate. I believe my non-profit Incubate Debate will be one of those alternatives.

Quebecers rally in Montreal against 'halalization' of Canada's food market 🇨🇦 The Montreal Halal Food Festival was postponed, but the protest against it went ahead. Outside Place Vertu, demonstrators told Rebel News their concern is bigger than meat: they fear religious standards are gaining influence over Canadian businesses, public spending and everyday choices. Rebel News reporter Alexandra Lavoie spoke with protesters who questioned why shoppers may not know whether meat was produced according to halal requirements. In Canada, products marketed as halal must meet labelling rules, but there is no general requirement to identify every halal product as such. Mandana Javan, an Iranian activist, called that lack of information “catastrophic” and “scandalous.” Another said, “I have trouble finding chicken and meat that isn’t halal when I go to the grocery store.” The debate extended beyond the grocery aisle. Javan, who is Muslim herself, argued that halal branding now reaches cosmetics, dating sites, taxis and clothing. She alleged that Islamist movements seek to use the market to expand their influence, while stressing that “not all Muslims subscribe to it, either.” Lavoie also raised Ottawa’s support for halal and kosher production in the meat industry. One protester questioned that spending when people cannot afford enough food: “Couldn’t that money have been used to help people who can’t afford to eat, instead of putting it into a market that is already very, very established?” Two Muslim men who were passing by were not in agreement that halal is being imposed. One rejected that premise: “I don’t think institutions are imposing halal eating on the population.” For the demonstrators, the issue now reaches Quebec’s election campaign. One urged party leaders to defend secularism: “Secularism must be preserved, strengthened, and we must not back down.” Their demand is for political leaders to examine where accommodation ends and a broader change in the marketplace begins.
