British Man Arrested for Picture of Him Shooting Shotgun

There are some things that are so heinous that you can be arrested for in your home country, despite it happening in a different nation. Crimes against children, for example, are a prime example. Go to another country to do something like that, and I don’t care where it was, you deserve the wood chipper here in the United States.

But most of those things fall into the category of things that aren’t really legal much of anywhere in the first place.

Germany on high alert to protect Christmas markets from terrorism

Under a rainbow-lit dome, hundreds of people gathered to drink pink glühwein and watch Jacky-Oh Weinhaus, a celebrity drag queen, at the opening week of Berlin’s LGBT Christmas market.

“This is an adult market,” said one of the security guards at the entrance, solemnly. “I have a duty to tell you your children may see pictures of penises and things of that nature.”

Until three years ago, the Christmas Avenue festival was held out in the open on Nollendorfplatz, the heart of the gay district, immortalised nearly a century ago by the Berlin novels of Christopher Isherwood.

Eby says he’s open to new pipeline — so long as it doesn’t go anywhere

For months, BC Premier David Eby reacted to the mere mention of a pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia’s coast with a passionate tirade that inevitably ended with a declaration that such a project would never happen.

Those words fell on many a deaf ear in Alberta and Ottawa, where Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney were busy working out an agreement sans Eby. On Friday, their efforts culminated in the signing of a memorandum of understanding that outlined the conditions for a new pipeline.
