News that five players from Canada’s 2018 World Junior team are expected to face sexual assault charges is raising questions about next steps in the high-profile case.
This week, the Globe and Mail reported the players have been given until late next week to surrender to police in London, Ont., where a group sexual assault allegedly unfolded in 2018.
Probably career ending.
President Macron’s government has promised wide-ranging concessions to farmers as it seeks to curtail protests that have led to dozens of roadblocks across France.
Gabriel Attal, 34, the prime minister, was sent to a dairy farm in Montastruc-de-Salies, in the southwest, in an attempt to calm the anger that has blazed through the countryside.
Attal said the government “has got the message loud and clear”, adding that agriculture was its No 1 priority. “We are going to act on all fronts.”
INCREDIBLE SCENES
The farmers have lined up hundreds of tractors in protest on Le Touquet beach where French President Macron has a holiday house.

As progress on some measures in the Liberal-NDP confidence-and-supply agreement continue to play out publicly, the two parties have quietly been in talks to table electoral reform legislation before the next federal vote.
Leading these negotiations on the political front, are Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, and NDP MP and democratic reform critic Daniel Blaikie.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar remains at large but in the wasteland of Khan Younis, IDF commanders pledge ‘when we see him, we will kill him’
Less than a mile away from where we are standing, the constant rattle of gunfire is broken only by the occasional bone-shaking explosion. Here in an outer neighbourhood of Khan Younis, the Gazan city that has been gripped by the bloodiest street battles of this bloodiest of conflicts, the devastation of war is obvious.
The ground has been flattened, except for huge piles of rubble where grand villas, owned by the Palestinian elite, have been demolished. A combination of Israeli bulldozers and explosives has laid waste to Khan Younis’s fanciest suburb.
An Ontario teen who was suspended from school after supporting female students concerned over transgender students using the girls’ bathroom is asking the court to review the school board’s decision.
Josh Alexander was initially suspended from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, which is part of the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board (RCCDSB) in Ontario, in November 2022 after expressing his view that there are only two genders.
What Eisenhower as supreme allied commander did to ensure that the Holocaust would never happen again has relevance in our own day.
At the dawn of 2024, the United States is embroiled in a heated discussion over what constitutes antisemitism. In the wake of the October 7 terrorist attacks launched by Hamas against targets in Israel and the subsequent retaliatory military actions Israel has undertaken, protests in cities, on college campuses, and in the halls of Congress have ranged from peaceful to blatantly antisemitic, with chants, vandalism, and threats of violence.
A self-declared “abortion doula” spoke this week to Catholic University of America students about her experiences coaching women through delivering or aborting babies, as well as coaching “pregnant men” to deliver in what she called a “seahorse birth,” according to audio of the class lecture obtained by The Daily Signal.
We’ve all heard about the LA Times fighting for its life. The recent VP Harris interview with CNN drew 332,000 in total viewers and just 72,000 in the coveted 25-54 demographic. In other words, nobody watched.
About 70 people had gathered inside a small meeting hall in Atlanta on Jan. 23 to watch a movie none of them was looking forward to seeing.
Israel put together an official video of the atrocities committed by Hamas in its Oct. 7 terrorist attack. More than 900 Israeli civilians and 300 soldiers were killed that day, and 240 more were taken to the Gaza Strip as hostages.
The attack triggered the Israel-Hamas war in that 141 square miles of territory, now in its fourth month.
In early January, FrontPage Magazine’s story, ‘The Greatest Islamophobia Hoax in America Exposed’ about the “anti-Palestinian” hate crime in Burlington, VT that never was, went viral. It was picked up by Townhall, Newsbusters, Real Clear Investigations, Instapundit, HotAir, Legal Insurrection, as well as Larry Elder, and a twitter thread on it went viral.
The Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) organisation, once a pioneering platform for sharing revolutionary ideas during the late 2000s and early 2010s, has receded from public conversation in recent years. Yet the resignations this week of six TED fellows over the selection of billionaire Bill Ackman as a speaker at the upcoming TED conference in Vancouver signals a deeper malaise at the organisation.
Britain’s Socialist Workers Party (SWP) is not famed for its astuteness. These omnipresent public-school leftists, who rock up to every radical demo to holler facile chants in fake accents they learnt from EastEnders, are about as far from scholarly as you can get. Yet a few years ago they did something that was world-beatingly dumb, even by their famed low standards. They handed out a leaflet about the Holocaust that described it as an unspeakable tragedy in which ‘thousands of LGBT people, trade unionists and disabled people were slaughtered’. Spot the omission?
Consider this: A brothel opens, offering “sexual services,” including “experiences” with girls under 15 years old.
Typically, the police response to such a brothel would make the Normandy landing look like a small skirmish. But this brothel, Chub AI, is a virtual brothel, reportedly “staffed” by artificially intelligent bots.
Britain’s warships cannot attack Houthi targets on land because they lack the firepower, in a situation described by former defence chiefs as a “scandal”.
None of the Royal Navy’s destroyers or frigates have the ability to fire missiles at targets on land, leaving the US to carry out the majority of strikes on Houthi targets with support from RAF planes based 1,500 miles away.
A British defence source said HMS Diamond, the destroyer stationed in the Red Sea, had not joined retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets because it did not have “the capability to fire to land targets”. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it had instead been “directly involved in successfully destroying Houthi drones targeting shipping in the Red Sea”.
Border Patrol has “no plans” to remove razor wire placed by Texas along the southern border, a senior Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official told Fox News on Friday, stressing a “strong” relationship with Texas despite an ongoing legal battle between the state and the administration.
Texas is currently locked in a multi-pronged legal fight with the federal government over the security of the Texas-Mexico border. The federal government has threatened legal action over Texas’ recent seizure of Shelby Park near Eagle Pass, while lawsuits are ongoing over the administration’s cutting of razor wire set up by Texas and the establishment of buoys in the Rio Grande. Texas has declared that it has a right to “self-defense” against what it says is a migrant “invasion.”
