Left-wing councils are under fire for sending staff on courses where they pretend to be trees, bats, fish and other “non-human living things” to understand the “connection between species”.
Those on the right are incredulous, arguing that taxpayers’ money is being wasted teaching functionaries to speak to plants. But the courses have been defended by environmentalists who say that officials need to learn empathy and inclusivity, especially in light of climate change.

RICHMOND, B.C. — Vancouver-based birth tourism operator Liga Lin says her phone has been buzzing with inquiries from expectant mothers since U.S. President Donald Trump moved to end American birthright citizenship.
Lin’s business, New Joy Postpartum Care, arranges accommodation and services for non-resident women — mostly from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong — who want to give birth in Canada, granting their children automatic citizenship rights.
The industry also exists in the U.S., but Trump’s executive order seeking to end the right to citizenship at birth on American soil has thrown it into disarray, even as the measure was blocked by a U.S. district court judge who called it “blatantly unconstitutional.”
We are a doormat nation thanks to Trudeau.
Anheuser-Busch InBev, for $16 million worth of airtime in Super Bowl LIX, is pandering hard to men who were once their core consumers. The 60-second commercial is shameless, all but begging “bros” to forget Bud’s partnering with a trans influencer in 2023 and Make Bud Light Great Again.
“Big Men on Cul-de-Sac know how to get the party started,” Bud Light wrote with a post of their commercial on X, “and that’s exactly what they’re doing.” The accompanying video has been viewed more than 825,000 times and has people talking. What they’re saying, however, doesn’t speak of success.

Why are Canadian tax dollars given to a racist “middle income” country?
South Africa is an upper middle income country. In 2022-2023, Canada provided $88.6 million in international assistance to South Africa, with approximately $5.0 million of this amount channelled to Canada’s dedicated bilateral assistance program focused on two Feminist International Assistance Policy action areas: inclusive governance and empowerment of women and girls.

CBS News plans to provide the Federal Communications Commission with the transcript of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris that is at the heart of a lawsuit against the network filed by President Donald Trump — the latest development in a battle that critics say is being used to target press freedom.
When did “press freedom” become 1984 like historical revisionism?
Whenever I had to assemble furniture Kath would always warn anyone within earshot that “There will be cursing”.
And there usually was. Tonight only a few crossed my lips as I worked on an Ikea cabinet kit. The Great Sort dictated the addition of sensible storage.
Xavier was a danger to us both being simultaneously curious and fearful of the “new stuff” while getting underfoot in hazardous fashion.
Funny thing. My knee has been acting up for the past week or so and I thought I might be pushing it to assemble the cabinet tonight. Oddly all pain disappeared once immersed and only a minor ache persists.
Thank you all for listening to my gibbering and yes assembling Ikea cabinets late on a Sunday evening is a bit odd I suppose.

I’m sorry, am I the only person who didn’t know that white people ate black people until the 1970s?

Now that Trump is in office and the charade is over, Zelensky admits he did not receive over $100 billion of our tax dollars.
He says he “does not know where all the money is”.
Meaning Ukraine was a massive money laundering operation, and the Biden regime never actually cared… pic.twitter.com/V57yeyegiq

Air traffic control staffing was “not normal” at the time of a mid-air collision between a military helicopter and passenger plane in Washington, DC that killed 67 people, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has acknowledged.
US media reported that Reagan National Airport tower was understaffed during Wednesday’s crash, according to a government report.
One air traffic control worker was managing helicopters and some planes from the airport, a job normally done by two people, two sources told CBS News, the BBC’s US news partner.
Gun control activist and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg was elected on Saturday to serve as the vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Hogg, who received 214.5 votes, was elected to serve as the vice chair of the DNC the same day that Minnesota state party chairman Ken Martin was selected to serve as the chairman of the DNC.
Young people do not recognise golliwogs as racist symbols and are more likely to associate their exaggerated features with cosmetic surgery, new research has claimed.
Dr Todd Gray claimed the controversial doll “has lost its relevancy and potency among the younger generation” because they have “little cultural awareness of the Victorian minstrel attire” it was based on.
A pole-dancing troop that aims to boost the number of ethnic minority, trans and non-binary “polers” and “decolonise” the industry has benefited from close to £100,000 in taxpayer funding.
Blackstage Pole campaigns for more diversity and runs events for performers who are “black people and people of colour of all bodies and abilities, especially those who are queer, trans, non-binary and/or sex workers”.
It claims the pole-dancing industry is too “white and non-sex worker allied” and excludes trans, plus-size and LGBTQ+ dancers.
