More than 100 Russian national guardsmen have been fired for refusing to fight in Ukraine, court documents show, in what looks to be the clearest indication yet of dissent among some parts of security forces over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The cases of the 115 national guardsmen, a force also known as Rosgvardia, came to light on Wednesday, after a local Russian court rejected their collective lawsuit that challenged their earlier sacking.
Ninety children have been shot this year alone in Chicago. Over 25 of them have been killed. It’s tough for a lot of these mothers, especially the single mothers who are trying to do the best they can to raise their children in such a violent environment. The stress these families are experiencing is overwhelming.
“… At the WEF Davos conference this week, Australian eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant called for a “recalibration” of human rights, including free speech, online. Her fellow panelist and BusinessWorld contributing editor Pranjal Sharma stated that he thinks governments have the “right” to access certain sensitive private data, including detailed medical data.”
A former Virginia Tech football player was acquitted of beating his male Tinder date to death after claiming the hook-up had lied about being a woman then performed oral sex on him.
Isimemen Etute, 19, was found not guilty of a charge of second-degree murder in the 2021 death of Jerry Smith, 40, of Blacksburg, Virginia.
Etute says he visited the victim last year to engage in oral sex with a woman he believed to be named ‘Angie,’ but who was actually Smith.
We used to walk through our neighborhood to the “Woods” aka the Humber river with our pellet guns with no problems whatsoever.
A very vague early childhood memory concerns an unfortunate accident in which one brother of an area family shot the other in the head with a .22, he died.
Our parents would remind us of this as the situation warranted.
I should ask my brother when next I visit. He is the last living repository of such ancient family lore.
Assuming this is real (and it appears to be), there has been what’s being described as an unprecedented leak of a recording of a top-secret meeting of China’s People’s Liberation Army leadership. During the meeting, senior military and CCP officials are heard discussing detailed plans to “smash” the military forces of Taiwan. There are also detailed discussions of logistical support for the invasion involving various companies that will provide needed supplies.

Jagmeet Singh is run out of Brampton, Ontario

His sole accomplishment is propping up Trudeau. He is deservedly despised.

Canadian authorities are investigating an incident in which a Tesla caught fire in Vancouver, reportedly forcing the driver to smash his way out of the vehicle.
Transport Canada, the Canadian auto safety agency, said in a statement on Friday that it had learned of the incident in Vancouver on 23 May and that it had “notified Tesla … and is currently making arrangements for a joint inspection of the vehicle in an effort to determine the cause of the fire”.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told Reuters on Thursday it “is aware of the incident and has reached out to the manufacturer for information”.
Late last year, Michael McCain was on a webcast with Maple Leaf Foods Inc. MFI-T shareholders, delivering the previous quarter’s financial results. The news wasn’t great.
The company’s meat-protein business had performed well – revenue had grown by 13 per cent. But growth in the plant-protein division “had evaporated,” he said. Sales were down by 6 per cent, instead of projected growth of 30 per cent.
After several years of proselytizing about “meat” made from plants – doubling down on the business, then doubling down again – Mr. McCain now said Maple Leaf would “reassess” its investment.
It was a remarkable shift.
A Sudbury organizer of the Freedom Convoy, which took place earlier this year and shut down parts of downtown Ottawa, has been named in a $300-million class action lawsuit.
Jason LeFaci, who is running for the Ontario Party in the Sudbury riding under the name Jason LaFace, said this week he has little respect for the lawsuit and has no plans to compensate the plaintiffs.
Hate Ottawa with a righteous anger.
Just when it seemed like the horrific events at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, couldn’t get any worse, accounts available as of this writing paint an abominable portrait of the local police force, paralyzed with indecision and hesitation as elementary-school students bled to death.
OTTAWA – Federal Conservative leadership candidate Patrick Brown says calling social conservatives “dinosaurs” in a book he wrote about his time in Ontario politics was “the wrong terminology.”
“I guess a better way to articulate that would be to say: I don’t think the Conservative Party needs to revisit these issues,” Brown said in an interview Friday.
The mayor of Brampton, Ont., has attacked longtime MP Pierre Poilievre — once a colleague in the House of Commons back when Brown was an MP — over his position on abortion.
I hope he wins, it will absolutely kill the CPC.
With less than a week to go before election day, a new poll has found four in 10 Ontarians think Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford would make the best premier for the province.
The poll, conducted by Ipsos exclusively for Global News found that 40 per cent of respondents said Doug Ford is the best person for the job, marking a one point drop from earlier this month.
Officials aim to ‘change the face of curling’ by welcoming greater diversity, inclusion
Standing in front of a packed room of curling club managers, coaches, Curling Canada officials and industry leaders in a Niagara Falls hotel, Richard Norman delivered a keynote address years in the making on Thursday morning.
With his voice shaking at times, Norman articulated his desire to bring change to curling — specifically Norman highlighted his work from early 2020 which focused on the experiences of people of colour and their relationship with curling.
An LGBT organization that sends books about gender identity to 5-year-olds appeared to remove nine sponsors from its “supporters” page after State Farm publicly dumped the organization, according to screenshots obtained via the Wayback Machine.
