‘An Empty World Is a Sad World:‘ Internal Facebook Documents Show the Metaverse Is Failing to Take Off
Facebook’s “Horizon Worlds” metaverse, which allows users to interact in virtual worlds with an avatar, is falling far short of performance expectations according to internal documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal. Data shows most users of the metaverse don’t return after the first month, and the userbase has been in continuous decline since the spring.
It looks ridiculous.
Renfrew County boards squelch bizarre stories about kids using litter boxes at school
Parents in Renfrew County are digesting a bizarre message from school authorities about what’s not going on at schools these days.
Two school boards in Renfrew posted messages on social media this past week seeking to reassure the public that litter boxes had not been placed in schools for use by the children.
Canadian armoured vehicles land in Port-au-Prince, here’s a look at Haiti’s latest security crisis
Foreign military aid requested by Haiti’s beleaguered government has arrived in the Caribbean country— including armoured vehicles from Canada, a source with knowledge of the operation confirmed to CBC News — as a security crisis intensifies.
Armed gangs have been blockading Haiti’s main port since last month following a move by Ariel Henry, Haiti’s unelected prime minister, to cut fuel subsidies.
Kidnappings and other crimes are rife; hospitals and banks are often closed as they are unable to access fuel and basic supplies.
As gang violence consumes Haiti, donor nations — Canada included — seem reluctant to get involved
Haiti has been lurching from crisis to crisis for a long time. But at no point in the recent past — perhaps not since the immediate aftermath of the 2010 earthquake — has the country’s plight seemed so hopeless to so many of its people as it does today.
Caribbean leaders, traditionally opposed to outside interventions, are facing an influx of Haitian boat people fleeing what Bahamian PM Philip Davis calls “a failed state.”
The Dominican Republic has deployed its army to the border with Haiti to prevent spillover from what its president Luis Abinader calls a “low-intensity civil war.”
‘Leave the kids alone!’ Outrage when Colorado school recruits drag queen for crossing guard duty
The hyper-sexualization of America’s youth has shown no signs of slowing down even as determined parents have continued to challenge the content that children have been exposed to by activists.
While progressives have often downplayed or denied such stories, no such plausible deniability could be had at a Colorado elementary school that hosted a “celebrity drag queen” alongside a U.S. senator.

Defence chief calls on Canadians to rally behind military during personnel crisis
The commander of the Canadian Armed Forces is calling on the country to rally behind its military as it faces an unprecedented personnel crisis that he says is threatening its ability to protect and defend Canada.
“We’re here to defend our way of life, now and into the future,” Gen. Wayne Eyre, chief of the defence staff, said.
“So we need a whole-of-society effort to help us bring the Armed Forces back to where it needs to be for the dangerous world ahead.”
“Woke” is not our way of life.

FIRST READING: Yet another prominent Indigenous Canadian who may not actually be Indigenous
It’s happened yet again: Compelling evidence has emerged that a prominent Indigenous scholar may not actually be Indigenous at all.
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond was often counted among the handful of Indigenous people who have received judicial appointments in Canada — and was reportedly a candidate to become the first Indigenous justice of the Supreme Court. She served as B.C.’s first Representative for Children and Youth and is now director of the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre at the University of British Columbia.
Gonna be a packed field this year. Below is CBC’s response to the counter-claims that the fake Indian is real.
Indigenous groups rally around Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond amid calls for proof of her Cree ancestry
Indigenous organizations in Saskatchewan and British Columbia are expressing support for Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond in the wake of a CBC News investigation into her claims to Indigenous ancestry.
But some Indigenous scholars are calling on the prominent academic and former judge — she is a professor at UBC and was on the bench in Saskatchewan — to answer the questions it raised.
For decades, Turpel-Lafond has claimed to be a treaty Indian of Cree descent. However, when challenged, she has refused to provide evidence of her claims.
