Jordan Mullins doesn’t know exactly what hit him – he only remembers the pain he felt when shrapnel punctured his left calf.
Mr. Mullins, a 26-year-old from Oshawa, Ont., was fighting in Ukraine when his unit encountered a Russian armoured personnel carrier during a recent battle for a “coastal city” that Mr. Mullins prefers not to name. He said he and his unit – a volunteer formation known as the Georgian Legion, made up primarily of fighters from the country of Georgia – were “bounding across a street” when the Russians opened fire.
Protesters filled the streets of London as thousands marched against the rise in the cost of living in Great Britain.
Inflation is no worse in Great Britain than it is here, but prices for food and fuel are rising faster because of the war in Ukraine. Imports of oil and grain from Russia and Ukraine have dropped precipitously, driving up the cost of the basics.
A cut in planned government spending could help tame rampant inflation and reduce pressure on the Bank of Canada to hike interest rates, according to a report from Scotiabank.
The report from the bank’s chief economist Jean-Francois Perrault and modelling director René Lalonde claims that Canadian fiscal policymakers are “doing nothing of any significance to slow inflation at the moment.”

Please, they say, forget the past. We didn’t really mean all those nasty comments against the Jewish State.
The joke used to be…why did the Almighty give the Jews a Land flowing with milk and honey? Why not gas and oil?
To the astonishment of nearly everyone over a period of some 2,000 years, turns out He did! Let there be gas, He said, and there was gas.
But not so fast. First, people had to believe that this Good Earth could deliver petroleum. There was no history of this for a Land thought to be fuel dry since Creation.
If one is concerned about ideological excesses on the left and right in our mainstream culture and politics, there are nascent signs that something of an ideological correction may be slowly gaining momentum. Developments in recent weeks point to institutional leaders and the general public starting to push back against the radicals and reactionaries that have come to disproportionately influence our popular discourse in Canada, the United States and elsewhere across the West.
Health Canada confirms reviews into trials following complaint of ‘alleged investigator misconduct’
… In one 2015 incident, a video obtained and shared by Meaghan Buisson, a patient suffering from PTSD, shows two therapists guiding her through an MDMA session in Vancouver while spooning and restraining her in a professed attempt to help her relive her sexual assaults as a way to heal.
One of the therapists, Richard Yensen, whose psychology license had lapsed years earlier, said he had consensual sex with Buisson after the experimental therapy sessions had ended but while she was still part of the trial. Buisson accused him of sexual assault constituting battery. Canadian police passed the file to prosecutors, who chose not to take the case forward.
