That’s what customers, restaurants and delivery workers want to know after a surprise promotion by the food delivery platform Grubhub went badly awry – and proved there’s really no such thing as a free lunch.
Grubhub’s plan was ambitious: to feed everyone in New York City and the surrounding Tri-State area for free, during lunch hours on Tuesday. The platform cited a survey it had conducted that found that 69% of working New Yorkers said they had skipped lunch.
Montreal’s top public health official is urging people not to panic as her department investigates 17 cases of suspected monkeypox in the greater Montreal region.
At a news conference Thursday morning, Dr. Mylène Drouin said there are 15 suspected cases on the island of Montreal, one on the South Shore and another north of Laval.
What is monkeypox?
At a former paintball park in west Ukraine, Canadian, British and American military instructors were putting two dozen recruits through a warm-up drill.
“Breathe!” a U.S. army veteran told the trainees, who lay prone in the ankle-high grass, aiming their AK-47 rifles at the treeline.
“Keep your fingers on those triggers!”
The instructors were members of the Wolverines, a group started by international veterans who have been quietly operating in Ukraine.
Measures akin to a COVID lockdown are needed in order to curb the EU’s reliance on Russian oil, one member state has said.
Lockdown-like measures should be implemented across the European Union to curb the bloc’s reliance on Russian oil, Luxembourg’s energy minister has said.
The demand comes as the transnational bloc prepares to publish a plan aimed at weaning the EU off of fossil fuels supplied from Russia, with some nation-states such as Germany being badly addicted to the likes of natural gas provided by the state.
Luxembourg? Isn’t that next to the Grand Duchy of Fenwick? I bet it’s a wet dream to Justin though.
SCOOP: Students at an Oregon high school speak out over school’s bathroom policy which allows males to use the girl’s bathroom.
They voiced concerns of being sexually assaulted and a parent tells me the staff was completely dismissive.

In an effort to become more inclusive and welcoming to LGBT people, the French city of Marseille is moving to scrap mother and father from civil documents and replace the terms with “parent 1” and “parent 2”.
The U.S. Army has come a long, long way from “Be All That You Can Be” — an odd and unsettling new recruitment video touts Army psyops, proclaims “All the world’s a stage,” and asks, “Who’s pulling the strings?” Apparently, if this video is to be believed, shadowy forces in the Army are. But it’s not at all clear what exactly the video is intended to accomplish, or what point it is trying to make.
Prince Charles says Canada must confront ‘darker’ aspects of its past
… In an address at the Confederation Building in St. John’s, the seat of Newfoundland and Labrador’s government where they were greeted by a military salute and cheering school children waving miniature Canadian and Newfoundland flags, Prince Charles acknowledged he’s arrived in Canada at a time of historic reckoning with its Indigenous people.
“We must find new ways to come to terms with the darker and more difficult aspects of the past, acknowledging, reconciling and striving to do better,” he told a crowd of dignitaries, in a speech in both French and English. “It is a process that starts with listening. My wife and I look forward to listening to you, and learning.”
Trudeau says inviting Iran to Vancouver soccer friendly is not ‘a very good idea’
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a soccer friendly between Canada and Iran next month in Vancouver is ill-advised.
“This was a choice by Soccer Canada,” Trudeau said Tuesday in St. John’s, when asked about the match. “I think it wasn’t a very good idea to invite the Iranian soccer team here to Canada. But that’s something that the organizers are going to have to explain.”
Whole lotta of stupid goin on.

Buffalo suspect allegedly calls himself ‘eco-fascist’ and blames migration for harm to the environment in document posted online
The suspected perpetrator of the deadly shooting in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday may have been the latest mass killer to be motivated by a growing fixation of rightwingers – environmental degradation and the impact of overpopulation.
Funny how the left’s preferred radicals get a pass on their plans for mass murder… Extinction Rebellion is way more radical than you think – By any reasonable measure, the group’s platform would kill untold millions if implemented
So how does that square with unfettered “migration.”
The Guardianista’s are playing every angle to paint the Buffalo shooter as right wing when in fact he declared himself to be of the “mild-moderate authoritarian left” in his silly manifesto. Sorry boys he’s one of yours.
This is very normal and sane behavior pic.twitter.com/OsQtvd1qSa

OTTAWA – Pierre Poilievre is denouncing the “white replacement theory” believed to be a motive for a mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., as “ugly and disgusting hate-mongering.”
In a statement provided to The Canadian Press, the high-profile contender for the Conservative party leadership condemned the attack, in which police say a white gunman shot up a supermarket in a majority black neighbourhood, killing 10 people and wounding three others.
I don’t recall that he ever endorsed it. Hope they ask Junior to do the same.
