While Victoria Day may have been celebrated by most in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Gov. Gen. Mary Simon were not among the celebrants.
Simon dedicated her energies to planting trees to help fight climate change, while Trudeau used the day to promise Canadians they’ll get free contraceptives.
McDonald’s has a big sale coming up in June to woo back customers driven away by high prices but there’s one little catch. Or 22 of them, if we used Joseph Heller’s math. With the price of the popular Quarter Pounder meal pushing $10 in some locations — and hitting it easily if you’d like it with two sad, thin little strips of bacon — the new $5 value meal would be a welcome relief for consumers.
Joy Behar told her co-host Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that people who wear MAGA hats should “put a swastika” on it while discussing a since-removed video re-posted to Donald Trump’s Truth Social account that briefly showed an image calling for a “unified Reich.”
The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) was apparently caught entirely off-guard last fall by public and parliamentary reaction to a paper it released claiming the Christmas holiday was inherently racist and the result of Canada’s colonial past.
I am all for deporting these garbage humans to Mauritania or Sudan or some other suitable nation.

Laser technology is advancing rapidly within the military industry. Armed forces in countries including the US, China, the UK and Israel have reported significant developments in laser weapons that can heat, disrupt, or burn aerial targets such as drones and cruise missiles from tens of kilometers away. Meanwhile, the internet is inundated with dubious claims about the latest advanced laser weapons stationed in space, including claims related to the helicopter accident involving the Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi.
NEW: Bill Maher gets fact checked twice by Megyn Kelly after he claimed J6ers killed cops and that Hillary Clinton never called Trump ‘illegitimate.’
Maher: Hillary never said Trump was illegitimate.
Kelly: Yes she did. She said those exact words.
Hillary: I believe he knows… pic.twitter.com/WtWSSgoTZx

Police are being told to make fewer arrests because of the lack of space in prisons, The Times can reveal.
Chief constables are being advised to consider pausing “non-priority arrests”, and also to suspend operations that may trigger “large numbers of arrests”, until there is enough capacity in prisons across England and Wales.
On brand.
You probably don’t recognize the name Kehinde Wiley, but you might recognize his ridiculous official portrait of Obama in which one of the worst men to ever squat in the White House appears to be sitting in a chair inside a bush or some hedgerows.
Canada ‘very closely’ monitoring top court’s push to prosecute Gaza war crimes: Joly
OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is “very closely” following a push from the International Criminal Court to prosecute the Israeli prime minister and Hamas leaders over the war in the Gaza Strip.
The court’s chief prosecutor requested arrest warrants Monday for Benjamin Netanyahu, his defence minister and senior Hamas leaders.
Ottawa has so far avoided supporting or denouncing the idea of charges, and ministers are only weighing in a day after peer countries took clearer stances.
Ditto for Trudeau
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is refusing to support or condemn a push from the International Criminal Court to prosecute the Israeli prime minister and Hamas leaders over the war in the Gaza Strip.
OTTAWA—Last week, there was seemingly some good news for Canada’s beleaguered Armed Forces. A May 7 Toronto Star news headline noted that “The number of applicants to join Canada’s military is soaring.”
Unfortunately the text continued with: “Why hasn’t that resulted in more of them in uniform?” The answer, it turns out, is that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are unable to process the applications they receive in a timely fashion. As a result, the gap between recruiting and those serving personnel who are releasing from the CAF continues to widen.
