With the sudden announcement that the 18-year marriage of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has ended and the couple is separating immediately, it remains to be seen what impact the split will have on Mr. Trudeau’s image as a political leader.
Mr. Trudeau has carefully cultivated an image of a family man, with photos of the couple on holidays, trick-or-treating on Halloween, taking horseback rides with their children, and decorating the tree at Christmas.
The world’s largest brewer said Thursday that sales to US retailers plunged 14 percent, adding that they had been ‘underperforming the industry.’ This was a direct result of the tie-in with Mulvaney.
For the second quarter of 2022, Anheuser Busch sold $2.73 billion worth of beer to retailers. But for the second quarter of 2023, sales dropped to $2.35 billion – a slump of $390 million in a year.
Bud Light popularity has been dropping since brewer Anheuser-Busch teamed up with Mulvaney, 26, and gave her a personalized can.
Mayor Olivia Chow is standing by a plan to rename Dundas Street, even as one councillor who voted in favour of the project claims there’s no money for it.
Chow’s office confirmed last week she supports council’s 2021 decision to find a new designation for the major thoroughfare, which was named after an 18th-century Scottish politician who some historians blame for delaying the abolition of the slave trade.
Critics counter there’s no clear evidence Henry Dundas was responsible for prolonging the slave trade, and that the resources required to remove his name from the 23-kilometre street would be better spent on other priorities. The city’s most recent estimate for the project is $8.6 million.
Chow is just a race baiting commie.
China’s all-powerful Ministry of State Security has urged the country’s citizens to take up spying to protect the country’s national security.
In its first official post on the social media platform WeChat, the ministry said it was necessary to establish a system which normalised the public’s participation in counter-espionage activities. Anyone taking part in spying efforts should be praised and rewarded by the government, it added.
The Trudeaus’ publicly announced marriage separation is not a private matter as many are claiming.
Nothing about this should be off limits, even as some of my colleagues have written. They have always been a public couple featured amongst world leaders and on magazine covers and what made them news then does not change now. This is the reality of public life.
Finally a member of the media tells it as it is.
Residents in the Stockholm suburb of Husby have started taking the law into their own hands after law enforcement, despite pleas from locals, has done little to alleviate problems with migrant crime.
Husby, northwest of Stockholm, is one of many areas across Sweden that are considered “vulnerable” due to high unemployment and high rates of crime, with a 2017 report claiming there were as many as 61 “no-go areas”, with 23 of them considered “particularly vulnerable.”
Anti-racism, diversity training under threat, say Black community leaders at Queen’s Park rally
Black community leaders rallied at Queen’s Park on Wednesday to fight against what they see as threats to anti-racism, diversity, and equity training in Ontario schools.
Advocates feel that work is under attack after the death by suicide of a former Toronto District School Board principal last month.
A woman who stabbed a lover during sex in a Vegas hotel room to avenge a US drone strike that killed a top Iranian general has avoided jail – blaming a previous rape for her violent behavior.
Nika Nikoubin, 22, appeared at the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, on Wednesday and told the court that she is ‘aware of the gravity of my actions and the consequences they carry.’
Despite her crime – which saw the wannabe singer knife her victim in the neck – she walked free after being sentenced to no more than 36 months probation.
When Doug Ford became the Progressive Conservative premier of Ontario in 2018, it was hard to imagine he’d ever have a civil word to say about Justin Trudeau, and that the feeling was mutual for the prime minister and the federal Liberals.
Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King and his left-wing super PAC quietly settled a defamation lawsuit with former Philadelphia district attorney candidate Carlos Vega, who King falsely accused of framing a black man for murder.
The way the media has circled the wagon's demanding we respect rights abusing Trudeau's privacy leads me to smell a rat. Are they covering up unpleasant facts as they did for Jack Layton when he was a found-in at a whore house? https://t.co/SnmFSLJDz4

Some are not impressed with Canada’s new justice minister appearing to downplay concerns about crime rates.
On July 31, Arif Virani, MP for Toronto’s Parkdale-High Park riding who was appointed justice minister in last week’s cabinet shuffle, was quoted in a story by Reuters saying it is unlikely Canadians are more at risk from crime.
“I think that empirically it’s unlikely, … but I think there’s a sense coming out of the pandemic that people’s safety is more in jeopardy,” he said, while acknowledging that people are feeling more at risk.
The British government on Tuesday recognized as genocide those crimes committed against the Yazidi minority by Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq in 2014.
The decision comes days before the ninth anniversary of the crimes that were perpetrated by the terror group also known as ISIS or Daesh.
“The Yazidi population suffered immensely at the hands of Daesh nine years ago, and the repercussions are still felt to this day,” Britain’s minister of state for the Middle East, Tariq Ahmad, said in a statement. “Justice and accountability are key for those whose lives have been devastated.”
There’s been a movement in recent years to infuse social politics into all aspects of our lives, from the food we eat to the cars we drive, from our workplaces to our public institutions. This movement has its merits but at some point, we stopped settling for argument and persuasion. We started to move to demonizing, banning, cancelling and forcing our own various agendas on others.
They should have done the Muslical Ride trampling old ladies.
Recently on Twitter, Alberta MP Shannon Stubbs, Tory shadow minister for energy and natural resources, put forth a series of tweets on Ontario’s Ring of Fire region, heretofore a promised land of metals and minerals invoked as an enabling resource for the Trudeau government’s electric vehicle (EV) dreams.
