Anyone hoping for a break on sky-high grocery bills should brace themselves for a shock in 2023, as the typical family’s food bill for the year is predicted to go up by more than $1,000.
That’s one of the main takeaways of the 2023 Food Price Report, an annual publication by Canadian researchers that looks at factors across the supply chain to attempt to predict what the cost of putting food on the table will be.
Louisiana authorities’ use of facial recognition technology led to the mistaken arrest of a Georgia man on a fugitive warrant, an attorney said in a case that renews attention to racial disparities in the use of the digital tool.
Randall Reid, 28, was jailed on November 25 in DeKalb County, Georgia, after authorities misidentified him as a purse theft in Jefferson Parish and Baton Rouge.
One witness said he heard an “inhuman” cry from inside the house. When police arrived, they discovered why.
A 26-year-old man had been stabbed to death, the victim of what the medical examiner later deemed to be a homicide.
But police announced Monday that no charges are being considered in the incident three days ago in Halifax, saying the dead man was one of two attempting to invade the blue clapboard house.
You break-in to my home I will kill you. That should be all the law needed.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is set to be officially declared a terrorist group after 10 plots to kidnap or murder people in the UK last year, The Telegraph can reveal.
Tom Tugendhat, the security minister, and Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, both support the move, which is expected to be announced within weeks.
Officials have been building the case against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with the security services understood to have shared intelligence.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in internal polling considered whether to make publicly available a blacklist of individuals who cheat on their taxes, according to a report.
“More than 1 in 3 Canadians, 35 percent, strongly agree the Canada Revenue Agency should publish a list of people found guilty of tax offences,” said a report titled “2022 CRA Annual Corporate Research Quantitative Phase” and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
The report did not detail why the agency polled the question.
The Church of England’s first non-binary priest has said that God “guided” their epiphany regarding gender identity.
Rev Bingo Allison, 36, who is gender-queer, grew up in a “strongly religious” Christian household in West Yorkshire and was raised to believe that being gay was “sinful”.
It get’s worse… ‘It was difficult for my wife… she married what she thought was a straight guy’
One of Canada’s leading experts on drug addiction says British Columbia’s provincial government asked him to delete a crucial database in an attempt to censor criticism of the province’s homeless policies. The incident appears to fit within a larger, nationwide campaign to silence experts who believe that, when it comes to homelessness and drugs, Canadian policy-makers are on the wrong track.
Ukraine’s president says Russia is planning a protracted campaign of drone attacks in a bid to demoralise Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky said he had received intelligence reports suggesting that Moscow would launch the attacks using Iranian-made Shahed drones.
It comes after Ukraine carried out a strike that it said killed hundreds of Russian troops in the Donbas region.
In a rare admission of battlefield losses, Russia said the attack killed 63 of its troops.

Red River porridge, first concocted in Winnipeg in 1924, left a huge hole when it was discontinued
It’s been more than a year since Juanita Metzger cooked the perfect bowl of Red River hot cereal, a blend of cracked wheat, rye and flax that commands a cult-like following across Canada.
“It’s got to be thick enough but not gluey. It’s got to be crunchy enough but not undercooked,” she said of the porridge. And when she finally got her hands on a bag after weeks of waiting, she realised how quickly the skill can atrophy.
Hot porridge with milk and brown sugar, toast on the side. The breakfast of school mornings throughout the winter. I have few childhood memories of me Sainted Irish Mother ever sitting down at a meal, she was all hustle and pots and occasional swats.
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” the philosopher Laozi wrote in Tao Te Ching. Yet, when it comes to travel in our modern society, it seems like there’s a thousand steps before we journey a single mile.
The state of transportation in Canada can certainly be described as one of constant frustration, aggravation, and consternation. There’s a steady stream of hurdles to bypass, hoops to jump through, and rivers to cross. And that’s before you even get on the plane!
Earth is headed for a sixth extinction, warned biologist Paul Ehrlich on “60 Minutes” this Sunday. And since Ehrlich has predicted about 20 extinctions over the past 60 years, he’s a leading expert on the issue.
Kirk Cameron, the former teen idol who became a devout Evangelical Christian and the father of six children, wrote a children’s book grounded in traditional values tied to the Bible (kindness, responsibility, honesty, pro-life, etc.). When he approached libraries to do a reading (the same libraries that have hosted drag queen readings about “transing” kids), he got over 50 refusals. However, Cameron was able to read in Scarsdale, New York, when he rented a meeting room (something the library was helpless to prevent).* One leftist’s response to the enthusiastic turnout for Cameron’s reading perfectly exemplifies leftists’ concern that free speech applies to their ideological opponents.
“Female-only” app Giggle uses AI to screen out men of all sorts from its platform, trans-identified or otherwise. Somehow, probably due to hormone therapy, a biological man who calls himself Roxanne Tickle (so you know he’s a serious person) slipped through the dragnet, was found out, and removed.
ANYONE who reflects on 20th century European history will ponder the perennial question: do exceptional individuals make history or does change come about through impersonal events? Historian Ian Kershaw, biographer of Hitler, examines 11 men and one woman who left a significant mark on their times against the backdrop and context of their rise to power. They are Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, de Gaulle, Adenauer, Franco, Tito, Margaret Thatcher, Gorbachev and Helmut Kohl: six dictators, five democrats and Gorbachev, who fits neither category. Each chapter follows a similar formula: the background of the particular personality; their achievements or otherwise; and their legacy. The result is stimulating, provocative, absorbing.
Alas, its terrible descendants still survive in Asia.
Acentury ago, on December 30, 1922, Russia signed treaties with Ukraine, Byelorussia (now Belarus), and Transcaucasia (combining Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia) to form the Soviet Union. The latter continued to expand, reaching its apogee after swallowing Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as part of Moscow’s booty from the Hitler-Stalin pact.
Of course, the 1922 treaty was not really the start of the USSR, but rather, the end of the beginning.
