Bud Light’s sales slump deepened mid-August amid ongoing fallout from the brand’s engagement with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who recently hinted at the controversy during an awards show.
Sales volumes of Bud Light at off-premise locations like grocery stores fell by 20.1 percent so far this year through Aug. 19 compared to the same period last year, according to Nielsen IQ sales data via Bump Williams Consulting.
For an administration that’s solely focused on “optics,” it’s pretty wretched stuff that the first words that came to mind when “Joe Biden” was said to a group of polling respondents were “outdated,” “senile,” and “dementia.”
That’s what the Associated Press found in its August survey, meaning the public has seen a bit more of Joe Biden than maybe his handlers would like.
A note from Pakistan: never allow the state to legislate against insult. Hurt feelings must never be outlawed.
Two young Christians in the small town of Jaranwala, outside Faisalabad in Pakistan, know the consequences of this all too well. They have been accused of causing ‘insult’ by ripping pages out of the Koran and scrawling ‘blasphemous content’ on them in red ink. Perhaps the pair did do this. Perhaps they didn’t. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. In places like Pakistan where blasphemy is criminalised, even the hint of an allegation is enough to unleash a deadly mob.
Education has become the new focal point for the country’s culture wars
Conservative and civil libertarian voices have long been stymied by Canada’s indifferent public and politicians. This provided cover for elites to run wild in schools and institutions. But now that era is coming to an end.
The prevailing message from the corporate state media since the 2020 farce and subsequent Jan. 6 election integrity protest — which they’ve billed as an “insurrection” by “domestic terrorists” — has been that questioning elections is tantamount to treason.
Federal healing lodges account for a considerable number of prison escapes, according to new data from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC).
Over a span of four years, there were 56 recorded prison escapes, 43 percent of those having happened at healing lodges, according to a CSC report obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter. Among these incidents, one-fifth were at two Prairie locations: Willow Cree Healing Centre near Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, and Buffalo Sage Wellness House in Edmonton.
Meta’s decision to ban news links in Canada after the country’s parliament enacted a law to bail out left-leaning legacy media companies by imposing a “link tax” on tech platforms like Facebook has not damaged the company’s user numbers.

‘Not the final numbers’: 93 possible unmarked graves discovered at former Beauval residential school
Schools should come with playgrounds, “not graveyards,” the chief of a Saskatchewan First Nation said of the discovery of what are believed to be nearly 100 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school.
English River First Nation on Tuesday announced the discovery at the site where Beauval Indian Residential School stood for nearly nine decades.
OTTAWA – Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said that a new travel advisory warning Canadians who are LGBTQ to be careful travelling in some parts of the United States is in no way politically motivated, and is meant to focus on Canadians’ safety.
Why an Ontario city is now permitting homeless encampments and tiny homes in parks
Canada’s homelessness crisis went from bad to worse during the pandemic years, as encampments popped up in municipalities across the country. In the past, these tent cities were forcibly removed by local law enforcement. (For example: the now infamous operation to remove encampments in various Toronto parks.) But this month the city of Hamilton approved a fresh approach—one that acknowledges encampments as an interim reality of the housing crisis and attempts to balance the needs of all community members.
Suncor’s revised focus on oil production proof of need for emissions cap: Guilbeault
OTTAWA – Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says he is more convinced than ever of the need to regulate emissions in the oil and gas industry, following a prominent CEO’s comments about refocusing his company on oil production.
Suncor CEO Rich Kruger told investors in a conference call on Aug. 15 that the company had a “disproportionate” focus on the longer-term energy transition to low-emitting and renewable fuels.
Everything the Trudeau government does is a threat to our physical and economic security.
Under Justin Trudeau, Canada has sought to position itself as the global bastion of progressive politics. In my latest Telegraph documentary, seen above, I went to the former British colony to find out how Canadians are dealing with Trudeau’s radical reforms; from the promotion of gender ideology in schools and the mass legalisation of drugs, to his extreme new suicide laws and clamp downs on freedom of speech.
I began my investigation in one of the country’s most liberal cities, Vancouver. Possession of up to 2.5 grams of hard drugs, including heroin, cocaine and fentanyl, has been legalised in the city as part of a three year experiment which began in January of this year. If the aim was to combat the opioid crisis that already beset the city then it appears there is still much to be done as vast tent sites line the streets, patrolled by roaming zombie-like drug addicts.
Testimony, or Evidence?
One might think the fact that the medical establishment is endorsing and performing experimental, irreversible, and often sterilizing medical procedures on children would be an immense journalistic discovery. But a recent New York Times article—investigating allegations made by Jamie Reed, a former case manager at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital who blew the whistle on medical malpractice at the clinic traveling under the guise of “gender-affirming care”—downplays the results of that discovery in a way that privileges personal testimony over evidence.
Facebook parent Meta said on Tuesday it had shut down a so-called “Spamouflage” campaign to covertly boost China’s image on its platforms.
Meta said it removed some 7,700 Facebook accounts plus hundreds of other pages, groups and Instagram accounts that pushed pro-China narratives online.
The accounts typically praised China and its policies in Xinjiang, and criticized the United States, Western foreign policy, and individuals critical of Beijing, including journalists.
