Beer sales in the US are expected to plunge to their lowest level since 1999 — largely due to Bud Light’s massive falloff after its disastrous tie-up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, industry experts said.
Sales declined by more than 5% in the first nine months of the year, dragged down not only by the backlash and boycotts against Anheuser-Busch-owned Bud Light but the changing habits of younger drinkers, according to Beer Marketer’s Insights.
During a 2015 visit to China, MP Han Dong was photographed wearing a red scarf, which is a symbol of the Young Pioneers, a youth organization under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The photo, released by the Chinese Consulate in Toronto, also featured former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. Both were photographed wearing the scarves alongside children at a Shanghai public school as part of an Ontario business delegation. At the time, Mr. Dong was a member of provincial parliament in Ms. Wynne’s Liberal government.
It was a year of change for late night comedy. The Late Late show was cancelled by CBS after 5,300 episodes since 1995 after James Corden decided to return to England, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show used a series of temp hosts after Trevor Noah walked away at the end of 2022, CBS host of The Late Show Stephen Colbert finally stopped giving Donald Trump the He Who Must Not Be Named treatment, and then, of course, there was the strike that forced them off the air for five months. One thing that did not change, however, was the heavy amounts of leftism, so in the spirit of David Letterman, here are the bottom ten moments from late night 2023.
A new study on Canadian social class and political identity defies familiar stereotypes about the ideological alignment of rich people versus poor people.
It also offers a new perspective on that most popular of all social classes, to which all decent people think they belong, sometimes despite strong evidence to the contrary, and to whom all politicians most fervently pitch — the middle class.
There are some DAs who are very tough on crime and there are others who are soft on crime. It doesn’t matter what city, county, or state you’re in. What matters is the DA in charge of prosecuting crimes in your neck of the woods.
In Ohio, though, there are a few mixed signals being sent by a prosecutor.
Members of the Palestinian community in Ottawa say they are being unfairly targeted by the city’s bylaw department after being issued nearly $1,500 in fines during a downtown demonstration.
Three tickets worth $490 each were issued to participants of a Saturday march organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement in support of Palestinians in Gaza during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
The afternoon march made its way from the Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street to Rideau Street.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responded to a question on an uptick in most violent crime categories in the city in 2023 by stating that homicides and shootings have fallen and money “for restoration and reparations” will help address the “cycle of violence” in the city.
It would be wrong to expect a Canadian prime minister to lace their year-end interview with uncertainty and self-doubt. But these interviews were particularly devoid of any acknowledgement that Trudeau has ever misjudged an issue, altered course due to changing circumstances or failed to prevent a crisis.
When interviewers asked him whether he’d been late to the issue of housing affordability, Trudeau said he’d actually been ahead of the curve with his 2017 National Housing Strategy.
Earlier this month, Hunter Biden defied a congressional subpoena, choosing instead to give a press conference on Capitol Hill. While this act in itself means he has some new legal troubles, it now also means that House Republicans have something new to add to the list of Biden’s impeachable offenses.
Slightly more Canadians say the media cannot be trusted to make decisions in the public interest as say they have trust in the media to act in the public interest, according to internal federal government polls obtained by Global News.
But the same polling shows high levels of distrust among many other institutions: provincial and territorial governments, Canadian financial institutions, the federal government and social media platforms.
Media, government and institutions lie? Imagine that … TDS, Russiagate, Trudeau, Mass Immigration, Islam, DEI, Multicultuaralism, Diversity, Climate change, “Far Right”, Covid, China, racism, mass graves … and the beat goes on.
Judih Weinstein, a Canadian Israeli woman whose fate had been unknown since the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, died during the initial attack, her kibbutz said in a statement on Thursday.
”With great sorrow Kibbutz Nir Oz announces the murder” of Weinstein, a news release from a kibbutz spokesperson said.
I have to be one of the last people Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would accept year-end advice from, ahead of only his almost-certain successor, Pierre Poilievre. And I’m not really interested in helping the Liberals recover from their death spiral. But in the spirit of “country over party,” here goes.
A 21-year-old Israeli-French tattoo artist who was abducted by Hamas has recalled the horrors that she faced in Gaza in her first interview, saying she “went through a holocaust” during her 54 days in captivity.
Mia Schem was asked in a preview clip of an interview with Channel 13 why she decided to open up about her experience at the hands of the terrorists.
A top U.S. military officer has warned that the delivery of F-35 aircraft ordered by Canada and other allies could be delayed because of ongoing technical problems.
If that happens, depending on the length of the delay, Canadian taxpayers could have to spend between $400 million and $700 million extra for the stealth fighters.
