Just a reminder to readers: The Falafel King is very litigious. You’ll find lots of words to accurately and safely describe him after listening to this frankly incredible interview without risking a libel suit.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada “believes in the work” of the International Court of Justice, but declined to say how his government would react if the court finds Israel is committing genocide.
South Africa has put a case before the ICJ accusing Israel’s military actions in Gaza of being a genocide. Israel launched an invasion in the territory following the Oct. 7 attacks where Hamas fighters invaded Israel killing 1,200 people and taking another nearly 250 hostages.
Did you miss the Emmy Awards on Monday? You’re not alone.
The Emmy Awards was a ratings catastrophe, drawing a record low of 4.3 million viewers for Monday’s live broadcast on Fox, according to preliminary figures. While the final tally could rise slightly, the evening represents an unqualified disaster for Emmy producers, who were hoping for a comeback following the pandemic.
Who wants to watch an industry that hates them celebrate itself?
As a teenager in Beijing, I attended an international high school for students who wanted to go to university in Canada. My parents thought I’d have a better education in Canada, which they’d heard was a safe country with more affordable tuition than the U.S. In Grade 12, I did a half-year exchange to Bathurst, New Brunswick. I fell in love with the small-city vibe there—the population was only 15,000, compared to 21.7 million in Beijing. The experience made me realize that I didn’t like bigger cities. Everyone was so friendly, and there were lots of French speakers, which I thought was charming.
Pretty bad when they start preferring Smog City.
The overwhelming majority of Americans said on Tuesday they are unlikely to consider buying an electric vehicle (EV). The poll comes as EVs strand drivers at their homes and off the sides of roads amid a winter freeze sweeping the United States.
Rasmussen Reports released the poll, finding that 65 percent of American adults said they are not likely to consider buying an EV when purchasing their next car — including 37 percent who said they are “not at all likely” to buy an EV. Fewer than 3-in-10 Americans said they would consider buying an EV.
Canadian harm reduction activists believe that “safer supply” can reduce overdoses and deaths by providing addicts with easy access to “safe” pharmaceutical opioids—but we already tried this experiment 20 years ago. It was called the OxyContin crisis and it had nightmarish results. So why are we making the same mistakes all over again?
Hunter Biden was loaded in more ways than one in October 2018, federal prosecutors alleged Tuesday in a scathing response to the first son’s attempt to dismiss weapons charges against him.
Five years after the now-53-year-old’s sister-in-law-turned-lover Hallie Biden dumped Hunter’s firearm in a trash can behind a grocery store in Delaware, FBI officials re-examined the pistol.
Canada’s economy has been making headlines for leading the G7, but many aren’t feeling the effects. That’s because gross domestic product (GDP) per capita has barely moved. Rather than growing the economy through economic improvements, Canada has only added more consumers through immigration. Adjusting for population, US households have seen their economic picture grow 10x faster over the past decade. The OECD previously warned Canada was heading into dangerous territory with their reliance on a debt-driven housing bubble.
Those charged with protecting our children from being raped allowed them to be raped, regularly and consequence free, for decades.
Those very same people trained the police who walk the streets today.

AI-powered lies and manipulation constitute the gravest threat to humanity. At least this is the dystopian scenario espoused by the collective wisdom of 1,500 experts surveyed in the World Economic Forum’s 2024 Global Risks Report last week.
Unfortunately, such outbreaks of “elite panic” are a recurring phenomenon. Whenever the public sphere is expanded through new communications technology, the traditional gatekeepers fret about the dangers of allowing the general public — too fickle and unlearned — unmediated access to information.
OTTAWA — Canada will ban federal funding for research in “sensitive areas” done in affiliation with more than 100 entities the government deems pose a risk to national security, including foreign universities and institutions.
Canadian researchers will no longer be eligible to receive federal funding for technological research that is done in affiliation with, or with funding from, any of the newly listed entities.
I feel Justin will allow the China class to strip mine Canadian research.

Despite having been acquitted of hate speech twice, Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen may still have to face another day in court on the same charges.
The Finnish public prosecutor has appealed the case to the country’s supreme court.
Räsänen, who has been a member of parliament since 1995 and also served as minister of the interior from 2011 to 2015, was formally charged with “agitation against a minority group” in 2021 under a section of the Finnish criminal code titled “war crimes and crimes against humanity”.
Too many Ukrainians have died in the year since Canada announced the “high-priority donation” of an advanced air-defence system to Ukraine that has yet to be delivered, the secretary of country’s National Security and Defence Council said Tuesday.
Oleksiy Danilov told The Globe and Mail that his own nephew, killed near the front line on Jan. 8, was among those who had died in the 53 weeks since Canada promised to purchase a US$406-million National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, or NASAMS, on Ukraine’s behalf. While the reasons for the delay may make sense in Ottawa, the wait for the U.S.-made equipment is harder to understand for those facing daily Russian missile attacks.
A Mexican bride appeared for a police mugshot in her wedding dress after being arrested for alleged extortion of chicken farmers in along with her new husband.
Pictures of the bride, named as Nancy N, showed her handcuffed and flanked by machine gun-toting officers, having been detained during her nuptials amid a major police operation late last month.
