KFC has apologised after sending a promotional message to customers in Germany, urging them to commemorate Kristallnacht with cheesy chicken.
The message, heavily criticised for its insensitivity, was later blamed on “an error in our system”.
The system was just following orders!
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the ongoing public inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act has not withered his support for the “peaceful and law-abiding protesters.”
Poilievre made the comments Wednesday during a rare media availability in a supermarket in Vancouver, B.C., where he was asked about a range of subjects from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s Sovereignty Act to the testimony heard at the inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act to shut down the Freedom Convoy last winter.
Congratulations to Stacey Abrams on her second term in office as president of space after her latest effort to claim victory in Georgia fell apart.
For Democrats this ought to count as a win because the midterms have likely freed them from the giant money sponges of Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams in one fell swoop.
Always a silver lining.
Emergencies Act should be ‘once-in-a-generation’ kind of tool: Freeland
Canada’s invocation of the Emergencies Act should be a “once-in-a-generation” move, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters on Wednesday.
… “What Canada faced at just the beginning of this year, actually, was a very serious challenge and threat to our national security and our economic security,” Freeland said.
What horseshit. The Convoy was never a “National Security Threat” and the border blockades had a marginal effect on commerce.

The economic nightmare that wasn’t? Border blockades had little effect on trade, data reveals
How many private jets went to Sharm el-Sheikh?
Data from FlightRadar24 shows 36 private jets landed at Sharm el-Sheikh between 4 and 6 November, the start of the summit.
A further 64 flew into Cairo, 24 of which had come from Sharm el-Sheikh.
Legal Memo Advised Ottawa Police to Be Aware of Indigenous Protesters During Convoy
They warned that the protest “raises issues related to freedom of expression and lawful assembly, and therefore may have Charter implications.”
“In addition,” stated the memo, “there may be demonstrators who are Indigenous, there may be heightened concerns surrounding any active enforcement measures and recognizing the uniqueness of Indigenous occupations.”
Just make sure no one is a Christian.
The Chinese delegation to the COP27 climate change conference in Egypt demanded a leadership role on Tuesday, despite China being far and away the worst polluter in the world, and its most voracious consumer of carbon-spewing coal power.
The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) has mandated that all sailors stationed at sea must receive up-to-date COVID-19 vaccinations, which includes at least one booster shot “within the last six months.”
“My direction remains that only sailors with up to date vaccinations, defined as the primary vaccination series plus either a booster within the last 6 months or a confirmed recovery from a COVID-19 infection within the last 6 months, be employed or undergo training as a member of crew aboard HMC ships and submarines,” wrote RCN Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee in a Nov. 4 unclassified memo obtained by The Epoch Times.
“China is an increasingly disruptive, global power,” Joly told a Toronto audience. “It seeks to shape the global environment into one that is more permissive for interests and values that increasingly depart from ours.
Actually China’s values are much admired by PM Arsehole and he loves the money they dump in his foundation, not to mention their very “Liberal” campaign donations.
A person who knew Mushegian very well for years until they had a falling-out two years ago said that the developer was “very very smart” but also suffered from extreme bouts of paranoia.
“He had mental problems,” said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “He saw a psychiatrist at times. He smoked a lot of pot. A tremendous amount.”
All large car parks in France will be covered by solar panels under new legislation approved as part of president Emmanuel Macron’s renewable energy drive.
Legislation approved by the French Senate this week requires existing and new car parks with space for at least 80 vehicles to be covered by solar panels.
The owners of car parks with between 80 and 400 spaces have five years to comply with the measures, while operators of those with more than 400 will have just three years. At least half of the area of the larger sites must be covered by solar panels.
Iryna Rybakova’s photographs have been published throughout the world’s media, yet using her camera is only one part of her job as a junior lieutenant and press officer with the Ukrainian military.
If you watched some of the videos on YouTube featuring young Uighur influencers, then you would have no idea that a growing number of human rights organisations and the United Nations have documented China’s severe repression of this Muslim ethnic minority. In a study published mid-October, an Australian research centre has dissected more than 1,700 videos to show how they are in fact part of the complex Chinese propaganda network under President Xi Jinping.
THE lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures and care home disasters triggered by Covid are increasingly being acknowledged as ghastly and costly mistakes, but the vaccines we were pressed so hard to take are still being promoted as a ‘safe and effective’ triumph of modern medicine.
As TCW readers were reminded last week, the data do not support that picture. The immune response to the jabs can sometimes enhance risk of illness, and there have been many warnings as to why that should be the case.
A progressive bloodbath has merely been delayed
For all their cautious optimism yesterday, a mild Midterms victory may prove the last thing the Democrats need. If they had performed as predicted, the Democrats and their media adjuncts would now be busily dissecting their defeat. But what has to be considered a lost Republican opportunity — gaining little in a country where lifespans are now dropping — also means that the Democrats will be slower to address their weaknesses, and may be forced to accept the unpopular Joe Biden as their leader in 2024.
