To celebrate the start of 🌈 Pride month, pro-Israeli agitators came down to @UofT & @occupyuoft today to harass & verbally assault queer people & women. C word after C word. These are some seriously vile & unhinged people.

In 1996, a Canadian inventor named Troy Hurtubise created this metal suit of armour to enable him to take on and fight off a grizzly bear.
He also created several inventions, including ray generators, firepaste (an ablative heatproofing material), the Ursus personal armor suit,… pic.twitter.com/AEYk0t0CG1

Miss Rachel is an educator who makes content for toddlers. Lately she’s been under fire for inviting Dylan Mulvaney to come on her show and sing. People also don’t like this Pride video.

A dance evening, the ‘farmers’ ball”, was held on Saturday evening in the Murinais ballroom organised by young farmers from Saint-Marcellin and Pont-en-Royans.
An initial brawl broke out outside the hall between two men who had just come from the party and half a dozen others who were outside, all of them young people from Saint-Marcellin. As other people came out of the hall to aid their two friends, their opponents were pushed back and they fled.

“Goodfellas” actor Frank Sivero isn’t a household name, but this week he shamed his famous peers.
The veteran actor came to the defense of the 1990 mob classic starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and the late Ray Liotta. Director Martin Scorsese’s film is considered one of his film canon’s highlights, on par with the greatest mobster stories ever told.
An attempt by the Liberals to avoid holding the 2025 federal election on a date that conflicts with a religious festival appears set to be overruled by the Opposition, following claims that the new date sets up a financial conflict of interest for MPs first elected in 2019.
The current election law says that unless Parliament is dissolved early, the next federal election “must be held on the third Monday of October in the fourth calendar year following polling day for the last general election” — Monday, October 20, 2025.
It’s all about the pensions.

An early morning shooting in Ohio kills 1 and injures 24 others
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An early morning shooting on a street in Ohio killed one person and injured 24 others, some critically, police said.
Police said shots were reported early Sunday just after midnight in the city of Akron, where multiple victims struck by gunfire were reported. Local hospitals told emergency dispatchers soon afterward that people were arriving in their emergency departments with gunshot wounds.
Also fun fact. Look at the name of the store. We all know what this was and the media will sweep this one up cause of it. pic.twitter.com/1EkKDDvvCA

On Israel, Justin Trudeau has found himself
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has found himself.
For a while, he was lost. But the Gaza war has given him an issue he can get his teeth into.
For much of the last year, Gaza and the Hamas war were seen in Liberal party circles as problems the prime minister would do well to ignore. That’s because they highlighted the fundamental split over Israel that bedevils the party.
If the government criticized Israel, it was called antisemitic. If it didn’t it was called anti-Islamic.
What this unidentified woman was holding in her hand at the Little Gaza encampment on the University of Toronto’s downtown campus is unknown at this time.
However, Toronto Police say they are “aware” of a strange video from Friday showing a woman pulling down posters from the fence of the encampment and then appearing to display what onlookers described as a knife.
Knife wielder identified.

After sending hundreds of balloons loaded with trash and excrement across the border into South Korea, North Korean officials said on Sunday the effort would be halted.
“We will temporarily suspend the action of scattering waste paper beyond the border,” said the official Korean Central News Agency. “This is because our action is a thorough countermeasure.”
They warned that the balloons would fly south again if Seoul sent any anti-North Korean leaflets northwards.
Black scholars criticize white writer’s ‘dehumanizing’ use of blackface to write book on U.S. race relations
A Canadian journalist is defending his decision to travel the U.S. in blackface and write a book about racism, after facing a storm of criticism online.
“Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society,” Sam Forster, who is white, posted Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter. “Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.”
The reaction was swift and brutal, with X users expressing anger, amusement and confusion, and telling Forster he should have simply spoken to Black people to understand their experiences.
