For Canadians, and millions the world over, the infamous black and white flag flown by ISIS is a symbol of terrorism, death and persecution.
When an image of that very flag was sent in an email to parents in October by the principal of a downtown Toronto elementary school, it left some like May Woo “shocked” and “in disbelief.”
Darlene is rumoured to be a very stupid woman.
The quest to cure death is a rich person’s game. And that doesn’t seem likely to change any time soon, which worries some experts in case humans ever figure out how to achieve immortality.
As science continues to push the possibilities of living longer—and living better longer—that science is often driven by funded research. And who better to provide a blank check than mega-billionaires like Jeff Bezos? Indeed, last year, the founder and former CEO of Amazon made a hefty investment in Altos Labs, a biotech startup focused on “cellular rejuvenation programming to restore cell health and resilience, with the goal of reversing disease to transform medicine.”
Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers have hailed the unveiling of the country’s first ‘supercar’.
A sleek, black sports car took to the snowy streets of the capital after a five-year building project by engineers at a Kabul technical and vocational training institute.
Video clips showed former insurgents gathered around the vehicle as it purred through potholed streets more often graced by pick-up trucks full of armed men.
Nope not April Fools.
A shipment of uranium has been seized at Heathrow airport – sparking an investigation by counter terrorism police who fear there could have been plans to use it to make a dirty bomb.

Poilievre mum on Tory MP’s ‘illegal refugees’ comment, calls for Roxham Road closure
OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for the closure of the Roxham Road irregular border crossing but side-stepping questions about a Tory MP denying help to a family who used it to enter the country.
Poilievre told reporters today he is in favour of legal immigration but can understand the desperation that leads migrants to cross into Canada through the unofficial entry point south of Montreal.

Locals left baffled by ‘Balamory from hell’ road layout
Bemused locals have slammed the use of “wiggly lines” in a controversial road scheme in Somerset, claiming the new layout has turned the town into “Balamory from hell”.
North Somerset Council started work on the new road layout along The Beach in Clevedon last autumn, with many local residents and businesses objecting to the changes.
The road scheme has seen a 400-metre segregated cycle lane installed along the seafront and the parking reconfigured. The road has also been made one way.
Privileged, humorless affirmative action recipient and infamous woketard Kumail Nanjiani is always cry-babying about something. Now he’s mad because Hollywood’s understandably terrified that members of the Woke Gestapo — like Kumail Nanjiani — will get upset if someone other than a white guy is cast as a villain.
The timing here is genuinely ridiculous. It’s as if the federal government, specifically the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, led by… Richard Trumka Jr (yes, that guy’s son)… doesn’t think or care that we can see the real issue is to change energy uses.
Now that Russia has been isolated from natural gas sales, the European Union needs the supply of all other natural gas markets in order to keep itself from freezing to death. Simultaneously, natural gas as an energy resource is now bad, terrible like oil and coal, amid the climate change cult.
With only three weeks to go before British Columbia’s decriminalization of hard drugs, a Vancouver man says he is already planning to open Canada’s first store selling crack, meth and heroin.
Known as The Drugs Store, it would be a retail location selling hard drugs in quantities of 2.5 grams per customer. Staff would wear bulletproof vests and face masks – not for COVID safety, but to shroud their identities.
The RCMP says many tips from Canada’s financial intelligence agency about possible crimes “may not get investigated” due to a lack of policing resources and conflicting priorities.
The Mounties make the candid admission in a briefing note prepared for Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino on the working relationship between the national police force and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, known as Fintrac.
Goodbye quidditch, hello quadball: Why Canadian teams are closing the book on Harry Potter
Quidditch Canada will formally launch its rebranding of “quidditch” to “quadball” at the governing body’s annual general meeting in February, aligning with international counterparts who began the name-change process last year in the wake of controversial comments about the transgender community by author J.K. Rowling.
The federal agency charged with spearheading Canada’s response to COVID-19 approved a $120,000 initiative to purchase specially designed coins for its employees as an “everlasting expression of gratitude” for their work during the pandemic.
The coins were to be distributed to all employees of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) as a token of thanks for their work at the agency over the last three years, according to documents obtained by Global News through access-to-information law.
Horses with giant cysts from repeated pharmaceutical injections were illegally butchered and turned into meat for humans by a criminal gang in southern France, a court has heard.
Some 25 people, including wholesalers, vets, dealers and butchers, stood trial in Marseille on Monday over the alleged scam that saw fake documentation given to horses previously used to produce serums by French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Pasteur at a laboratory farm in southern France.
They had reportedly received jabs against rabies, tetanus and venoms.
