Polling shows a drop in the couple’s popularity since the release of Spare
Last weekend, 25 of the entertainment industry’s most influential women gathered at a highly-publicised beauty event in Los Angeles that also served as Oprah Winfrey’s 69th birthday party. Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford and Sharon Stone were among the guests. As various American publications were quick to point out, however, the Duchess of Sussex was not.
She’s gonna dump him.
The first time we heard the phrase, it was simply a great sound bite: “Canada is broken.” Months later, the hashtag count keeps climbing, and the phrase has become something of a battle cry.
With all the noise, our team at Leger asked Canadians if the assertion resonates with them. We were somewhat taken aback to learn that 67 per cent of Canadians agree with the statement: “It feels like everything is broken in this country right now.” It’s one thing when a sentiment is a catchy sparring point between party leaders and pundits, but quite another when two-thirds of Canadians agree.
China is threatening to respond with ‘resolute action’ which American defense experts say could result in ‘further provocations’ after the U.S. finally shot down their spy balloon.
Beijing’s Foreign Ministry last night slammed the move as a ‘clear overreaction and a serious violation of international practice.’
An F-22 Raptor fighter jet took down the balloon with a single AIM-9X sidewinder missile at 2.38pm on Saturday, off the coast of South Carolina.
A Legal Process Reduced to Controlled Theatre…
Ottawa Police refuse to provide journalists with the written legal motions filed in the trial of Detective Helen Grus.
Detective Grus faces an internal Police Services Act charge of ‘Discreditable Conduct’ for allegedly conducting “unauthorized” investigations into nine Sudden Infant Deaths – where she sought to know the vaccine status of the mothers.
Ottawa Police (‘OPS’) launched an internal investigation and suspended Detective Grus in early February 2022. Grus was formally charged on July 26, 2022, and the case has been before the internal Trials Officer on several dates since then.
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Swedish government again sought Friday to discredit claims that Swedish social service agencies kidnap Muslim children, saying Sweden was again seeing a “systematized” and “extensive” disinformation campaign.
“This campaign has now gained momentum again,” said Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
“This is false. This is not true. Sweden does not kidnap children. The social services do not kidnap children,” Kristersson told a press conference. ”Neither Muslim nor other children.”
He said that social workers and other employees are being “exposed on social media and are being threatened.”
Seriously they’d be doing the poor kids a favour.
The country used to be known for being boring. That was before Justin Trudeau took over
My natural reaction to Canada, as someone who grew up in its more famous and influential neighbour, used to be a blink or two and a lazy stir of recollection that the country does, in fact, exist.
But Canada, perhaps aware of its peripheral status, has since the election of its liberal-Left leader Justin Trudeau, left us no choice but to pay attention – for all the wrong reasons. Trudeau, an opportunistic wokester, has turned the country from a dull but relatively sensible-seeming place into a case study in why identity politics – and contemporary progressive ideology – is disastrous if allowed to reach the top. And reach the top it has in Canada, with the judiciary, schools, universities and public debate demented by it in myriad troubling ways.
There are breaches of etiquette – drenching your rice in soy sauce, for one – and then there are heinous acts of “sushi terrorism”.
Japan’s signature cuisine is at the centre of a police investigation after customers at revolving sushi restaurants posted video clips of themselves interfering with food and playing pranks on other customers.
The incidents have sent shares plummeting in a leading kaitenzushi chain and prompted operators to rethink how they serve their dishes.
At about 6:30 p.m. one recent evening a man rushed through the door of Convenience Plus, a cluttered downtown corner store. “Have you got Narcan?” he asked. The cashier handed him a rectangular red-and-white kit. The man dashed out the door again.
Narcan is a brand name for naloxone, a drug that reverses overdoses by blocking the effects of opioid drugs on the brain. A squirt in the nostril from a plastic dispenser can bring victims back from the brink of death in minutes.
An Iranian government-backed hacking team allegedly stole and leaked private customer data belonging to French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, security researchers at Microsoft said on Friday.
The magazine was hacked in early January after it published a series of cartoons that negatively depicted Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The caricatures were part of a media campaign that Charlie Hebdo said was intended to support anti-government protests in the Islamic nation.
By standing up to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Quebeckers have exposed a striking truth: modern race politics in Canada is mostly elitist performance art.
This week, in an effort to quell the uproar caused by his appointment of Amira Elghawaby as the government’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, the Prime Minister declared that “Quebecers are not racists.” He went on to explain, “Quebecers are among the people who are the strongest defenders of individual rights and freedoms, along with a lot of other Canadians.”
Bristol Students’ Union chiefs back down in row after being sued for disciplining its own female-only group over single-sex policy
Feminist student societies can exclude transgender women, university students’ union chiefs have admitted after “landmark” legal action.
Bristol Students’ Union (SU) caused anger by disciplining Women Talk Back (WTB), its own feminist group, for excluding male-born trans women from talks on rape and sexual assault.
The society had hosted women-only meetings at the University of Bristol to discuss male violence and argued that the presence of trans women could make attendees fearful of speaking out. However, a student later complained.
Contrary to what was widely predicted, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s selective shunning of what he describes as the anti-Conservative media that dominate the Parliamentary Press Gallery hasn’t hurt him in the polls.
That raises the question of whether he can win the next election without them.
Seriously?
The CBC suggested today Trudeau was showing “good faith” by pausing his hunting rifle ban.
Good faith? This was a deliberate attack on rural & Indigenous people.
He only backtracked because my team forced him to.

I thought he did great but will I vote for the CPC? Unlikely.
East Hastings Street in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside has long been the epicenter of Canada’s deadly opioid crisis. For years, lines of tents, discarded needles and open drug use have been common sights.
Residents of the neighbourhood have repeatedly called for a radical change to the government’s approach to illegal drugs, particularly since a recent spate of overdose deaths.
This week, they got their wish. An exemption came into effect on Wednesday, allowing any resident of the province of British Columbia to possess 2.5 grams of ecstasy, crack, cocaine or heroin – and even the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl – without fear of criminal charge.
The Downtown Eastside is an open wound.
There is nothing positive to be said about it beyond having the good fortune to escape that little hell.
I recall walking along East Hastings early one Saturday morning.
From about a block away I kept my eye on the very pretty young aboriginal girl approaching me.
Pretty and pretty fucked up. Open sores, needle tracks ran up both her arms.
I declined her offer to “Party.”
Recent reports from major U.S. outlets have presented a startling departure from the customary narrative surrounding the war in Ukraine.
It is becoming clear that the only war the U.S. has been winning has been the information war surrounding the conflict. With the report from the RAND Corporation last month, who have been advising the Pentagon since 1948, comes the news that the ground war is lost and that no return of Ukrainian lands is likely.
The report, titled “Avoiding a Long War,” glosses over the complicated history of Ukraine and makes no mention of the many interventions and diplomatic failures directed by the US and its NATO allies, which I detailed in a long four part series here.
Instead, it focuses on the need to avoid a protracted conflict – chiefly to free up the U.S. military to concentrate on the next big war with China.
We’ll see. The war on corruption likely indicates Z was read the riot act.
As the culture hurtles towards the precipice, Diaspora Jews are like rabbits caught in the headlights.
In Britain’s House of Commons this week, MP Kim Johnson launched an attack on the “fascist Israeli government” and its “apartheid” policies.
Johnson is a Labour Party MP. You know, the same Labour Party whose current moderate leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has reputedly cleansed it of the Jew-hatred that exploded under its previous hard-left leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Following Johnson’s remarks, the Labour leadership leapt into immediate action. Within hours, Johnson was ordered to make a groveling apology.
