World’s ‘worst’ McDonald’s will shut down after nearly 40 years

The infamous McDonald’s based in Ottawa, Canada, which saw more than 900 fights in recent years, will shut down after nearly 40 years of service.

Peter Crosthwaite, who owns the building on Rideau Street, told CTV that the franchise owner decided not to renew the lease, with the restaurant set to shut down in April.

The McDonald’s, which a former manager dubbed ‘the worst,’ is mostly known for a viral video of a large 2013 brawl inside its doors that saw customers trading blows while one man pulled out a raccoon from his jacket.

WARMINGTON: ‘Unprovoked’ attack claims another innocent life in ‘Zombieland’ Toronto

It will be up to a coroner to determine how an elderly woman died before Toronto Police decide whether to turn this case over to Homicide detectives.

In the meantime, police have a man in custody being investigated for aggravated assault — but any pending charge could potentially be upgraded as the investigation unfolds and cause of death is determined.

Family of Toronto man allegedly killed by teen girls criticizes law keeping identities secret

The family of the Toronto man allegedly killed by teen girls in a “swarming” attack have denounced “flaws” in the criminal justice system, criticizing the opacity surrounding youth cases involving serious crimes.

Eight teenage girls have been charged with murder over the death of Ken Lee, who was repeatedly stabbed at a plaza near the main rail station in Canada’s largest city in the early hours of 18 December. Three of the girls are 13, three are 14 and two are 16.

Because of their age, none of the suspects can be identified under Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act and few details can be printed by media outlets because of publication bans.

BMO CEO was just being a helpful weasel

BMO CEO Addresses Suggestion to Designate Convoy Protesters as ‘Terrorists’ to Freeze Accounts

The CEO of Canadian bank BMO addressed on Jan. 19 the revelation that he had recommended to the finance minister that Freedom Convoy protesters be designated as “terrorists” to facilitate the freezing of their financial accounts last year.

“I would never call the convoy protesters terrorists. What was said is that in order for the banks to be helpful, there are certain protocols,” Darryl White told True North’s Andrew Lawton reporting from Davos, Switzerland.

“Those protocols include sanction where we can in fact, help in that case, otherwise, it’s not our business to interfere in the affairs of anyone’s finances, truckers or otherwise.”

Minor league hockey player rips LGBT ‘mafia’ after being released for anti-woke tweet

A minor league hockey player is refusing to be silent about the LGBT agenda after getting dismissed from his team for pointing out another club’s embrace of wokeism.

“It’s a full-on mafia. They have organizations under their grasp,” 28-year-old Louie Rowe told LifeSite yesterday. “If it had any grounds in morality, you would not need power to force acceptance.”

CHARLEBOIS: Will alcohol be the next tobacco?

Looks like we all need to drink less alcohol.

Last fall, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA), a national organization that provides information and advice on substance use and addiction, shared recommendations that we should all drink no more than one or two drinks a week. We just learned that these are now Canada’s official guidelines.

One last con! Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes tried to FLEE to Mexico on one-way ticket after being convicted

Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes made an ‘attempt to flee the country’ by purchasing a one-way ticket to Mexico departing soon after her conviction last year, federal prosecutors have alleged.

Corporate Canada has been protected from competition for too long. It’s time to put consumers first

Maybe you saw that report by the CBC’s Marketplace the other day on the cost of wireless telephone service in Canada. If so, maybe your fists have not yet unclenched from the little balls of rage that formed as you watched.

Quoting a recent study by the Finnish research firm Rewheel, the report found the cost per gigabyte of wireless data transmission in Canada is “seven times more expensive than Australia, 25 times more than Ireland and France, and 1,000 times more than Finland.”

Hollywood Armorer Reacts to ‘Rust’ Manslaughter Charges: ‘There Is So Much Fault to Go Around’

The death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” in 2021 has special significance for Hollywood’s small community of film armorers. Like a lot of entertainment industry jobs, armorers occupy a highly specialized niche. It’s not the kind of thing you can go to school for, and there are no state certifications or license exams to pass. Getting into the profession tends to involve a combination of apprenticeship and old fashioned, right-place-right-time industry luck.

‘Extreme Green’ Movement Wants to Use Just Transition to Shut Down Alberta’s Oil and Gas Industry, Smith Says

Danielle Smith says the “extreme green environmental movement” wants to use the federal government’s proposed “just transition” legislation to shut down the province’s oil and gas industry, which the Alberta premier has repeatedly said she wants to maintain and grow.

“Just Transition: I would just ask you to look at how the extreme green environmental movement uses that language. They use it as language to talk about completely phasing out the oil & natural gas industry,” Smith said in a video posted on Twitter on Jan. 19.

US planes grounded because worker ‘accidentally deleted computer files’

Human error behind glitch that caused 11,000 flights to be delayed across the country’s airports, say investigators

US planes were grounded nationwide last week because a contractor “unintentionally deleted files” on a crucial computer server used by pilots, investigators found.

The glitch led to travel chaos with more than 11,000 flights delayed and at least 1,300 cancelled on Jan 11.

The blunder marked the first time since the 9/11 attacks that flights across the US were grounded.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the national intelligence service, said it had detained seven suspects who were allegedly recruited by a former resident of Dnipro who fled to Russia and began working for its GRU military intelligence service.

The costly stupidity of the recycling religion

For decades, we’ve been told: Recycle!

“If we’re not using recycled paper, we’re cutting down more trees!” says Lynn Hoffman, co-president of Eureka Recycling.

Recycling paper (or cardboard) does save trees. Recycling aluminum does save energy. But that’s about it.

The ugly truth is that many “recyclables” sent to recycling plants are never recycled. The worst is plastic. Even Greenpeace now says, “Plastic recycling is a dead-end street.”

Hoffman often trucks it to a landfill.
