In Poland, farmers pelted the European Union building with eggs.
In Belgium, hundreds of tractors blockaded one of the continent’s busiest ports.
“I’m a small farmer, I’m 18 years old, and I don’t know how life will turn out for me later on,” said Mattia Buzzone, a Sicilian farmer, at a protest in Rome, Italy.
Police say the thieves walked the horses from the stable where they lived near the 12400 block of Southwest 197th Avenue to a property next door. They cut a hole in a chain link fence, and led the animals to an open field, where officers found them “slaughtered for their meat,” Zabaleta said.

The Canadian Armed Forces has received more than 21,000 applications from permanent residents eager to join the chronically understaffed military full time — but CBC News has learned that less than 100 of them have made it into the regular force in the year since they were allowed to sign up.
In 2022, the federal government lifted a ban on permanent residents enlisting in the military after the country’s top commander warned of a critical shortfall in personnel.
Gen. Wayne Eyre, chief of the defence staff, said that given the “significant number of demands around the world, there’s just not enough Canadian Forces to do everything.”
A statue of Jewish singer Amy Winehouse wearing a Star of David pendant has been “defaced” with a pro-Palestine sticker.
The sculpture, which depicts the late star with a hand on her hip, was unveiled in Stables Market, Camden, close to where she lived in her last few years.
The B.C. Prosecution Service (BCPS) has revised its hate crimes policy to expand the definition of what constitutes hate-motivated offences in the province.
In a media statement released on Feb. 16, the prosecution service said the definition of hate crimes now includes, among other prohibited acts, “hate propaganda offences” such as “advocating or promoting genocide,” “public incitement of hatred,” and “wilful promotion of antisemitism.”
Unsettling Post footage and interviews with US residents along the Canadian border offer a rare glimpse into the thriving migrant smuggling operation that has taken hold up north in addition to the debacle to the south.
Residents of bucolic Swanton, Vt. — a town of about 6,500 people located just across Lake Champlain from New York and about a 10-minute drive from the Canadian border — have been getting a troubling firsthand look at the US’s northern illegal-migrant crisis for months.
B.C. mayors say they can’t keep up with densification, which means rebuilding sewers, water lines, roads and more
The statisticians describe the unprecedented number of people streaming into B.C., while the province’s mayors explain how difficult and costly it is to try to house everyone.
A special housing meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities heard this week that B.C.’s population has jumped like never before — and that more than 600,000 new dwellings are needed just to get back to supply and demand ratios similar to a couple of decades ago.
How we thought we’d turn out vs how we will turn out.

Everything the Liberal party says it is doing to “solve” the housing crisis they created through their society destroying mass immigration program is a damn lie.
The Liberals have us so far up the creek it will take years to fix the housing crisis and this assumes they are willing to cut back on immigration. A lost generation of Canadians will never be able to own a home or be able to find affordable rental accomodation.
This is what real progressive thought is, and brilliantly expressed here by Erica Le Bon. The newly created monster is moral narcissism, and its spirit animal is the chimera of 'empathy'@glukianoff @epkaufm @andrewdoyle_com @JaniceFiamengo @Fox_Claire https://t.co/lTR1yfkiUO

Russian medical workers discovered bruising on Navalny’s body consistent with him being restrained while suffering a seizure, a new report has said.
Novaya Gazeta, a highly regarded opposition newspaper, said that it had managed to contact an inmate at IK-3, who said that a “mysterious commotion” had erupted at the prison the night before news of Navalny’s death broke.
🚨The shooter who killed two officers and a paramedic in Burnsville, Minnesota has reportedly been identified as Shannon Cortez Gooden.
Gooden petitioned to have his gun rights restored after a 2008 felony assault conviction.

Optometry students at the University of Waterloo raised funds for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) amid allegations that some employees of the UN agency aided Hamas during the Oct. 7 atrocities.
Continuing a Valentine’s Day tradition of picking a charity to support, third-year students chose UNRWA and posted a group photo shared across the program’s social media channels. The image was later deleted, Stan Woo, the director of the School of Optometry and Vision Science, told the Post in a statement.
An NHS trust has said that breast milk produced by trans women who were assigned male at birth is as good for babies as that produced by a mother who has given birth.
In a letter to campaigners, the University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust (USHT), said that the milk produced by trans women after taking a combination of drugs is “comparable to that produced following the birth of a baby”.
The hospital trust, which runs Royal Sussex County Hospital, Worthing Hospital and Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital among others, was also the first in Britain to use the term “chestfeeding” in place of breastfeeding because it is considered by some to be more inclusive.

Donald Trump’s recent threats that NATO members who miss their spending targets — like Canada — won’t be protected by the United States show he’s “serious” about ultimately withdrawing the U.S. from the military alliance, Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton says.
That “simple view” of America’s relationships with its allies may likely inform Trump’s approach to U.S.-Canada relations and strategic partnerships between the two countries, Bolton says — including NORAD — if Trump returns to the White House.
I find it strange that it is assumed the US will always pick up the slack for its so called NATO partners.
A warehouse storing 900 tons of lithium batteries waiting to be recycled went up in flames this afternoon, amid growing fears over their dangers.
The fire in France occurred at a storehouse in the town in Viviez in Aveyron, and residents were told to stay indoors by authorities.
Locals were ordered to keep their doors and window closed as the thick smoke engulfed the town. No injuries or deaths were reported.
If Canadians feel angry reading the revelations last week about ArriveCan, they should
Auditor-General Karen Hogan’s report on the federal government’s app for travellers during COVID-19 comes on the heels of countless reviews and committee hearings, after The Globe’s reporting found that the app’s price tag had ballooned to at least $54-million.
