The chief operating officer of the vegan food company Beyond Meat has been arrested for “terroristic threatening” after allegedly biting a man’s nose during an argument.
Douglas Ramsey, 53, got in to a dispute with a driver on Saturday evening as he left a car park in Fayetteville, Arkansas after a football game.
He was at the car park when a Subaru inched in front of his Bronco, coming into contact with the front tyre on the passenger’s side, according to a report by local station KNWA/KFTA.
OTTAWA – A new poll suggests a plurality of Canadians still believe Justin Trudeau is still the best man for the job of prime minister, but he has only a slight lead over new Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Leger has released the findings of an online survey conducted over the weekend with around 1,500 respondents.
The results suggest the Liberals’ popularity has declined since one year ago, when Trudeau was re-elected for a second time to form a minority government.
It must have been an awful dozen days for the woke folk who run the CBC Newsroom. In the first hours, the Queen’s death was very sad so, given most people’s quite human reaction, there was little opportunity for the ideological instruction, especially on matters of race, indigenousness and gender flux, that increasingly dominates what comes out of the corporation. And then, strangely, it turned into a good-news story, as the focus shifted to the Queen’s having hardly ever turned a foot wrong or spoken a hurtful or unwise word during 70 — seventy! — years of what only an ignoramus would deny had been dedicated service.
Within hours of the Queen’s death on Sept. 8, officials in Ottawa promised that Canada – as Queen Elizabeth II’s largest overseas realm – would be playing a key role in her funeral and interment.
Instead, the world may come to remember Canada’s participation in the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II primarily for two things: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau belting out Bohemian Rhapsody in a London hotel lobby only days before the funeral, and Ottawa’s weird decision to send actress Sandra Oh in its official delegation.
Junior’s government is just a High School for pampered dullards.
Pierre Poilievre and his team will be gratified by the first public opinion poll since he was elected Conservative leader, which gives his party a healthy five-point lead over Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.
While there was no sign of a surge in support from voters — Abacus Data has the Conservatives at 35 per cent support, up one point from its last survey — neither was there a drop in approval from Canadians queasy at some of the new leader’s more controversial rhetorical flourishes.
A lawsuit has been filed against Pfizer alleging the company has illegally excluded white and Asian-American applicants from its minority fellowship program.
Do No Harm, an organization comprised of medical professionals advocating against ‘radical, divisive and discriminatory ideology’ in healthcare, says Pfizer’s ‘Breakthrough Fellowship Program’ violates federal law.
‘Pfizer’s open exclusion of white and Asian-American applicants is illegal,’ court documents read.
When it comes to nailing down Pierre Poilievre’s economic policy, it can be hard separating the real from the surreal.
There’s the love of cryptocurrency. There’s the too-clever-by-half “Justinflation” slogan. There’s the threat to make central bankers walk the plank.
When he launches into a 500-year-old history lesson on Henry VIII and “Old Coppernose,” you start to wonder how many cannabis shops are in Mr. Poilievre’s neighbourhood.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did it again.
On one of the most solemn days in the United Kingdom in living memory, as Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest, Trudeau was making headlines in the U.K.
At least he didn’t perform in Blackface.
By all accounts except the Kremlin’s, Russia is struggling with military manpower shortages as its invasion of Ukraine continues in its seventh month. Western estimates say Russia may have suffered 25,000 combat fatalities and as many as 80,000 total casualties so far in fighting that has achieved none of the Kremlin’s stated objectives.
Moscow, though, has shied away from declaring war and mobilizing its full military reserves, most likely out of fear of the domestic political consequences that could arise from sending men from urban areas or the professional classes into combat. Instead, Russia has relied largely on contract soldiers recruited from remote and impoverished regions.

David Attenborough should stick to educating us about animals rather than bashing human beings.
It’s that high-pitched, cranky and creaky voice again. It’s the most fabulous footage of wildlife, taken by intrepid photographers on very cold ships. We see emperor penguins waddling, sliding on their bellies, tobogganing and mountaineering through acres of Antarctic snow. A young male hooded seal, out to mate in the spring, sees off an older and bigger rival. Then he tries to pull a female – first with an inflatable black nose, then with an inflatable, balloon-like red sack in his left nostril.
Officials in Germany have announced plans to rebuild a bridge over the Rhine that collapsed days after its capture by US soldiers in the final weeks of the second world war.
The bridge at Remagen, which featured in a 1969 film of the same name starring George Segal, Ben Gazzara and Robert Vaughn, focusing on the heroism of the allies’ final advance into Germany, could be standing again within a decade, town planners have said.
Kurdish forces in northeast Syria on Saturday announced the end of a three-week operation against ISIS supporters inside the overcrowded and increasingly lawless camp of al-Hol.
They arrested more than 200 people, including dozens of women, discovered tunnels used by extremists and seized an arsenal of weapons.
We are now a revolutionary society in decline using the courts, prosecutors, the administrative state, and the law itself to punish enemies, help friends, and declare such asymmetry “social justice.”
What once distinguished the United States from illiberal regimes following the Orwellian mantra “some are more equal than others” was the hallowed American idea of “equal justice under the law.”
The phrase is engraved above the entrance to the United States Supreme Court—an ideal that took centuries to achieve. Yet it is an ancient concept—what the Greeks called isonomia that distinguished classical democratic Athens from its anti-democratic rivals. Isonomia later became enshrined as the central criterion of all Western consensual governments.
Does it still exist in Joe Biden’s America?
Now that even the Biden administration has been forced to admit defeat in its ill-considered attempts to revive the Iran nuclear deal, it is vital that the West does not let its guard slip on Iran’s malign activities across the globe.
Throughout the year-long negotiating process in Vienna over Iran’s nuclear ambitions, which the Biden administration now concedes have ended in stalemate, Tehran has sought to give the impression that it is interested in negotiating a deal, while at the same time ramping up its aggressive military activities in the Middle East and beyond.
“History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme rather nicely.”
That quip has often been attributed to Mark Twain. I’ve never been able to verify the attribution, but it does sound like him. I’m inclined to pair it with Santayana’s observation: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” A gloss on that observation: “Those who know the past are condemned to watch others unwittingly repeat the avoidable errors of the past.”
