Colombian president: I’m no narco, I just like Gucci and strip clubs

If the window to a man’s character is his credit card statement then Colombia’s president has some explaining to do.

Gustavo Petro, the left-wing leader and a fiery critic of the excesses of consumerism, appears to have a penchant for Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Prada, and the occasional strip club.

This startling revelation emerged earlier this week, after the president decided to fight back against claims made by President Trump that he is a drug trafficker. To quash the story, Petro ordered that all his bank and credit card statements be released.

Nothing ever changes in South America.

Canadian Museum for Human Rights has become ‘tool’ of one side of the Arab-Israeli story: David Asper

A newly announced permanent exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg is being met with heightened concern from Jewish groups.

“The Museum has allowed itself to become the tool, or dupe, of only one side of the story and thereby betrays its duty as a national institution to provide a common and inclusive meeting and educational space on the matter of human rights,” Winnipeg lawyer, businessman and trustee at the Asper Foundation, David Asper, told National Post in an email. His family led the museum’s founding in 2014.

CHARLEBOIS: Feds want to keep beef prices high — deliberately. Here’s how

We recently received information from a reliable industry source about how the federal government is administering beef import permits. If accurate, it raises serious concerns about whether the federal government is knowingly sustaining an outdated and opaque system that keeps beef prices unnecessarily high.

At a time when many families are struggling with food costs, this is more than a bureaucratic issue — it directly affects affordability.

As is so often the case in Liberal Canada someone is stealing the food off your plate.

Zelensky ready to work with US on ‘their vision’ for ending Ukraine war

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready to work with the US on “their vision” for ending the war with Russia.

Under the widely leaked plan, Kyiv would cede significant areas of the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine that it still controls, cut the size of its army, and pledge not to join Nato – proposals it has previously ruled out.

The White House has pushed back on claims that Ukraine was not involved in the drafting of the plan, which emerged following meetings between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and and Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev.

Hmmmm … Live – US tells Ukraine: Sign deal by Thursday or have weapons cut off

Langley woman had alerted RCMP about threats from blog linked to Colombian murder

When Brittani Russell contacted Langley RCMP last year about a crime blogger posting veiled threats against her, she expected it would get taken seriously.

Instead, the officer who came to her home last December suggested she just ignore the posts on the Dirty Newz’s website and social media accounts, Russell said Thursday.

Since learning this week that the site’s founder allegedly conspired with an international crime group to get a witness killed in Colombia, she realizes how at risk she was.

The seized blog is The Dirty Newz portions of which are still available via the Wayback Machine.

Ukrainian teen saboteurs recruited on Telegram to attack their own country

In July this year a 17-year-old travelled 500 miles from his home in eastern Ukraine to collect a bomb and a phone hidden in a park in the western city of Rivne.

He says he was promised $2,000 (£1,520) to plant the bomb in a van used by Ukraine’s military conscription service.

“When I was connecting the wires, I thought it could explode then. I thought I might die,” he told the BBC.

Vlad is one of hundreds of children and older teenagers who the Ukrainian government alleges have been recruited online by Russia, and offered payment to carry out sabotage and other attacks against their own country. His name has been changed to protect his anonymity.
