It will take three years and cost up to C$184m ($135m; £109m) to search a Canadian landfill for the remains of two indigenous women.
Indigenous leaders in the province of Manitoba released the results of a feasibility study on Friday and called for the search to take place.
The women’s families have put pressure on officials to find their remains.
Both women are believed to be victims of an alleged serial killer.
Plans to dig up the grave of a black Labrador which served as a mascot for the Dambusters has caused a stir amongst councillors, residents and the wider public. The dog, which belonged to Wing Commander Guy Gibson of the 617 Squadron, is currently buried at RAF Scampton.
It is believed that the dog died on the same day of the famous Dambusters raid on May 16, 1943. The application to dig up its grave and move it to RAF Marham in Norfolk was submitted to West Lindsey District Council on Wednesday, May 10.
Canada’s spy agency is drawing up a list of parliamentarians for briefings on Chinese political interference and has already reached out to two opposition MPs, more than a week after Conservative MP Michael Chong was informed that he and family members in Hong Kong were targets of Beijing state intimidation.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service has contacted former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole, who was a candidate for prime minister in the 2021 election, and Jenny Kwan, an NDP MP who has been an outspoken critic of China.
‘No one said sir what’s wrong, how can I help you?’ Jordan Neely’s family attorney tells New Yorkers to offer HELP to violent and threatening subway passengers – as they call for Marine Daniel Penny to be charged with his murder
Jordan Neely’s family attorneys today told New Yorkers they should not shy away from erratic, homeless people on the subway even if they’re behaving threateningly, and instead say: ‘Sir, let me help you.’
Neely was homeless, schizophrenic and had a record of 40 arrests that included punching a 67-year-old woman in the face.
On May 1, he was screaming that he wanted to ‘kill a motherf****r’ to get a ticket to jail where he’d receive meals.
Every crazy now gets a shot at George Floyd like stardom.
The federal government will move forward with the creation of a registry of foreign agents to help prevent China and other countries from meddling in Canada’s affairs, Radio-Canada has confirmed.
As first reported in La Presse, Canada will table a bill either this summer, or if the Justice Department is not able to draft the legislation in time, in the fall, according to a government source.
The federal government launched public consultations on the concept in March. That outreach effort closed May 9 and a government source said it showed Canadians broadly support the initiative.
On Thursday, the “LGBTQIA+” community in Belgium suffered a violent attack by teenage Muslim students from The Atlas College in Genk. The Islamic attack occurred at an International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) event held at the school.
Tweet Translation: I can’t feel sorry for these people anymore, the same people standing there with their rainbow flag voted (extreme) left and will vote extreme left again. They got what they voted for. They wanted this, now they have it.
Ik kan geen medelijden meer hebben met deze mensen, dezelfde mensen die daar staan met hun regenboogvlag hebben (extreem) links gestemd en zullen weer extreem links stemmen. Zij kregen waar ze op stemden. Zij wilden dit, nu hebben zij het.

Homophobic behavior of Atlas College students during diversity campaign: “They spat on rainbow hearts”
A former officer with Canada’s spy agency says that individuals involved in the political process should have to declare they will not cooperate with a foreign power, adding that they should serve jail time if caught doing so.
“Because we’re close to treason here, literally,” said Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former chief of the Asia-Pacific Unit within the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
The Irish tourism industry is on the verge of collapse after government figures suggested that up to 10,000 jobs may be lost due to using hotels to house refugees. Potentially billions have been lost as regional towns are set to miss out on lucrative summer trading.
The Republic of Ireland has struggled with an influx of refugees the past year, with 83,000 claiming asylum in 2022, compounding the country’s already pre-existing housing shortages.
OTTAWA – Maxime Bernier says he’s ready to “fight” to become the first member of Parliament for the People’s Party of Canada, and has already thrown some punches by accusing the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre of steering “to the left” to please voters.
The Ukrainian Army is advancing in attacks near the eastern city of Bakhmut, Ukrainian commanders said on Friday, in fighting that has shifted the front line only slightly but is exposing fissures, confusion and alarm among Russia’s forces in the war.
Russia’s pro-war bloggers were quick to claim that Ukraine’s long-anticipated counteroffensive had begun, but Ukrainian officials downplayed the advances and described them in more local terms. Ukrainian soldiers broke through Russian lines south of Bakhmut on Wednesday, they said, and then exploited that breach, assaulting Russian forces near the city and threatening Russian flanks to the north and south.

Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford must boost subsidies for Stellantis amid fears auto giant will pull out of Windsor EV battery plant: sources
Ottawa is being forced to renegotiate with Stellantis amid fears the automaker will scrap a new battery plant unless the federal and provincial governments match hefty subsidies given to Volkswagen, the Star has learned.
Industry sources warn that Stellantis — the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep and Fiat — could pull the plug on its 2022 agreement to build a massive electric-vehicle battery factory in Windsor if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford don’t sweeten the deal to the level VW received in St. Thomas.
Good work Frankie Champagne!
White British children could be in a minority in schools in 40 years, an Oxford academic has claimed.
Dr Paul Morland, a demographer and academic visitor at St Anthony’s College, said previous research had suggested that around 50 per cent to 60 per cent of the overall British population would define themselves as white British by the year 2060.
Britain is becoming an outlier on immigration
Other European countries are taking a far more hardline stance
Like much British political discourse, the ongoing small boats crisis in the Channel is utterly divorced from developments in the rest of Europe. Opponents of the Government’s scheme to deport irregular arrivals, as the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby demonstrated yesterday, cite Britain’s humanitarian obligations under the European Court of Human Rights as an immovable obstacle. Yet in the EU itself, national governments facing similar migration flows remove unwanted migrants through the simple expedient of ignoring their legal obligations, to their voters’ approval.

As the Liberals’ controversial gun control bill saw itself forced out of committee early Friday morning, observers say the government’s attempt to hurry the nearly year-old bill to completion leaves behind too many concerning issues.
Firearms policy expert Tim Thurley expressed concern over the government’s application of time allocation rules that curtailed debate in favour of moving passage along.
“The federal government said they would ‘take the time to get it right,’ and took weeks to present a huge, brand-new amendment package that dramatically changes aspects of the bill,” he told the National Post.

Not using someone’s preferred pronouns. Posting a Bible verse online critical of homosexuality.
These are all examples of alleged hate that could soon be compiled by the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and logged in a new database or registry of bias under a proposal that has already been approved by the state’s Democrat-controlled house and senate.
