Team Canada’s Olympics look sparks strong reaction online

Team Canada’s look at the opening ceremonies of the Milano-Cortina Olympics is sparking a strong reaction online—with one TikToker’s bewildered take racking up nearly one million views over the weekend.

As has been the case since 2021, this year’s Team Canada’s kits were designed by Vancouver-based Lululemon.

A memorably stupid statement.

‘Get their act together’: Freeland on U.S. relationship with others on world stage

Former cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland says when it comes to the U.S. and its relationships with other countries on the world stage, it needs to “get their act together.”

Since his 2025 inauguration, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened several countries, including Canada, with annexation and tariffs on goods, creating an ongoing trade war.

Freeland, fresh off her January resignation as a member of Parliament, appeared Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Freeland resigned after being appointed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as an adviser on economic development for Ukraine.

Did she ever work for Canada?

Outrage as South Korean official suggests ‘importing’ foreign women to boost birth rate

South Korea Abandoned School

A South Korean official who suggested the country “import young women” from “Vietnam or Sri Lanka” to boost its birth-rate has been expelled from his party.

Kim Hee-soo, the head of the southern Jindo County, said the woman could be married off to “young men in rural areas” during a town hall last week.

The suggestion comes as South Korea continues to grapple with the lowest birth-rates in the world, which could see the country’s 50 million-strong population drop by half in 60 years.

Russia has made £239bn from oil tankers in the Channel. Now to stop it

A morning dog walker looking out on the Channel from Dungeness beach on Thursday January 22 would have been able to make out a familiar silhouette: the long hull of an oil tanker.

The vessel passing just a few miles of Britain’s coast was the Hyperion, part of Russia’s notorious “shadow fleet”, hastily retreating across the Atlantic from Venezuela.

Like the Marinera, a tanker seized by US forces in early January, the Hyperion is one of hundreds of sanctioned ships used by Moscow to transfer oil to and from South America.

It’s ‘Dead Wrong’ for Canada to call residential schools genocidal

In his widely-praised Davos speech, Mark Carney paid homage to a renowned 1978 essay by Czech dissident Václav Havel, “The Power of the Powerless.” In it, Havel tells the parable of a greengrocer who refuses to place a “Workers of the World unite!” poster in his window, symbolizing his personal dissent from a totalitarian regime’s extortion of rote public mantras nobody believes as a tool for mind control.

Andrew shared confidential information with Epstein as trade envoy, files suggest

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein from his official work as trade envoy in 2010 and 2011, according to material in the latest release of files in the US seen by the BBC.

Emails from the recently-released batch of Epstein files show the former prince passing on reports of visits to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam and confidential details of investment opportunities.

Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information about their official visits.

Charles will have no choice but to behead him soon.

Ottawa May Be Delaying Taiwan Trade Deal to Avoid Upsetting China, Taipei’s Envoy Says

Taiwan’s ambassador to Canada says Ottawa may be delaying the signing of a trade agreement with the island nation as it’s seeking closer ties with Beijing.

Harry Tseng, head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada, said in an interview with CBC’s French arm Radio-Canada that Taiwan has been left with the impression that Canada is seeking to improve its relations with China at the expense of its relationship with Taiwan.

Trump official: British free speech victims should seek asylum in US

Thousands of miles from Westminster fuelled by gargantuan cans of energy drinks and a vim for free speech, Sarah Rogers is fast becoming a thorn in Sir Keir Starmer’s side.

As Donald Trump’s firebrand undersecretary for public diplomacy, she relishes admonishing Britain over its unfiltered mass migration and failures to safeguard free speech.

From her Washington office, a sprawling suite inside the Harry S Truman Building, the New York lawyer leads the administration’s charge to rescue what it believes are Western civil liberties in terminal decline.
