A bakery boss has been forced to defend himself following backlash for selling ‘non-binary gingerbread people’.

Foreign fugitives have high chances of dodging deportation from Canada each year, as records show that of thousands of foreigners ordered to leave the country over the past six years, just 48 percent were actually deported.
An Inquiry of Ministry, presented to the House of Commons by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), said of the 13,287 foreigners ordered out of the country since 2016, a total of 6,322 were deported, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
Conservative MPs accused her of shedding crocodile tears and offering a forced apology.
They reminded Mary Ng, the minister of international trade, export promotion, small business and economic development, that she’d broken the law and demanded she resign for giving “sweetheart contracts” to a close friend. Manitoba MP James Bezan called her “corrupt” and asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to fire her.
OTTAWA — Russia’s ambassador to Canada says Ottawa is at the vanguard of a social media effort he argues is meant to demoralize Russian soldiers.
In an interview with Russian state media, Oleg Stepanov chided Canada’s foreign affairs department for frequently posting unflattering information about the war in Ukraine, particularly recent tweets about Russian men fleeing a military draft.
We should take it as a kindness when trans or non-binary people demand we change our language and use specific pronouns for them.

Any cities out there entertaining the idea of seeking a Super Bowl might want to reconsider. Businesses in Phoenix are being forced to surrender free speech rights to the all-powerful National Football League. The next Super Bowl will be hosted by the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, along with the loss of free speech for area businesses.
Bowing to the NFL’s directive, the entire downtown area of Phoenix has been designated as a “Special Promotional and Civic Event Area,” through Feb. 19. No resident or business in the city-imposed “clean zone” will be permitted to display temporary signage without the approval of the city, the NFL and the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. The permission deadline for temporary messages was this past Thursday.
Knowing what we know now about how the U.S. intelligence community operates to control just about everything, I think our nation is more awake than ever before.

Veterans minister says he thinks all assisted dying talks now known, but isn’t certain
Canada’s minister of veterans affairs says he isn’t sure whether there will be more cases of veterans discussing medical assistance in dying (MAID) with a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) employee, but believes the four cases confirmed so far may be the extent of it.
Lawrence MacAulay is also acknowledging that his previous insistence that the first known case was an isolated incident was “not correct,” as more confirmed cases were later revealed and other veterans since have come forward with their own claims of similar discussions.
… The latest release by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland shows that Quebec will receive the most in absolute terms at $14.04 billion, while Manitoba will get $3.51 billion. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island (PEI) will be paid $2.8 billion, $2.63 billion, and $561 million, respectively.
Why is Quebec getting so much?

The FBI has refused to say how many social media companies it works with, defending their actions after it emerged that agents from the bureau regularly met with Twitter executives and handed over lists of accounts they found questionable.
Officials from the bureau even asked for Twitter to hand over the locations from where the Twitter accounts were being operated, in a disturbing move that many saw as an attack on the First Amendment.
One user targeted by the FBI, who goes by @Lexitollah, said: ‘Seems like prima facie 1A violation.’
I would not be surprised to find worse has gone on in Canada.
Polish prosecutors are investigating a “violent release of energy” at the national police headquarters amid media reports that the chief of police fired a grenade launcher in his office.
Poland’s interior ministry said on Thursday that Jarosław Szymczyk, the police commander in chief, was injured and taken to hospital when a present he received during a visit to Ukraine exploded at police headquarters in Warsaw.
Polish media reported that the present was a grenade launcher and that Szymczyk himself had accidentally fired it in his office, in what would be a serious breach of safety regulations.
