Speed-eating cats and skateboarding dogs replace children in overworked Asia
The countdown is on: within 90 seconds, the cats must race through as much of the agility course as they can, clearing perspex holes and scaling scratching posts to claim their spots on the podium.
Only a few of the felines seem fazed. As their owners desperately try every encouraging tactic in the book – feathers, treats, clapping – most of the cats remain blissfully uncooperative.

More Than 120,000 People Left Canada Last Year, Marking an Emigration Peak
More than 120,000 Canadians and permanent residents moved out of the country between September of last year and September of this year, according to data from Statistics Canada.
Similar peaks in the departure of citizens and permanent residents have only been seen twice in Canadian history, during extended real estate peaks in 1968 and 2017.
Blast at Syrian mosque during Friday prayers leaves at least eight dead
An explosion has killed at least eight people and injured 18 others during Friday prayers inside a mosque in the Syrian city of Homs, the health ministry has said.
Pictures from Syria’s state-run news agency, Sana, show the inside of the Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib Mosque with black, scorched walls, smashed windows and blood on the carpet.
Officials believe that an explosive was detonated inside the building, Sana reports, citing a security source. While authorities are still searching for the perpetrators, jihadist group Saraya Ansar al-Sunnah said it was behind the explosion
Amy Hamm: U.K. puberty blocker trial asks children to consider freezing eggs, sperm
Imagine asking a child as young as 10 to consider whether they want to freeze their sperm or eggs in order to one day have babies, should they become infertile. It sounds patently insane.
However, that’s what researchers with the U.K.’s NHS will do to children who identify as transgender and who are approved to participate in a new puberty-blocking drug trial — the only legal way for minors to take these drugs in the U.K.
Government satisfaction drops sharply as Canadians struggle with cost-of-living pressures
Canadians’ satisfaction with their governments has fallen sharply in 2025, according to new data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute, as residents grapple with rising costs and ongoing economic uncertainty.
The Government Performance Index, which measures satisfaction across 16 key issues, shows scores have dropped by roughly one-quarter since March.
The Best Classic Movies And T.V. To Watch With Your Family This Post-Christmas Week
Binge-watching is a habit that’s usually good to avoid, especially when watching on your own. However, during the week after Christmas and before New Year’s — in which so many families find themselves sandwiched between big gatherings or parties and maybe even forgetting what day it is — spending a little extra time together in front of the silver screen with popcorn and in pajamas is to be expected, and can even prove restful.
Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan wears hijab in solidarity with Somalis as feds probe multibillion-dollar fraud scandal
WASHINGTON — Minnesota’s lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan donned a hijab to express solidarity with Somalis in a local TV appearance amid federal and congressional investigations into fraudsters in their refugee community who bilked taxpayers out of as much as $9 billion.
“I am incredibly clear that the Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota,” Flanagan said at Karmel Mall in Minneapolis alongside local officials in a video released by Somali TV of Minnesota on Thursday.

Trump claims he’s the ‘president of peace’ — so why is he bombing so many overseas hotspots?
U.S. President Donald Trump earned plaudits from war-weary Americans when he promised during his first campaign to stop dragging the country into conflicts overseas he framed as a waste of money and personnel.
But his latest foray into hotspots on other continents, including launching strikes in Africa on Christmas Day, has some supporters questioning whether he really meant it when he said he’s “not going to start wars.”
In his second inaugural address in January, Trump said his presidency’s success would be measured “not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”
If he didn’t the CBC would be blaming Trump for humanitarian inaction.
Muslim migration to Japan ‘doesn’t exist’
An article posted at a well known “conservative” website evoked an interesting comment. The article was about Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi’s proposals to raise the bar to Japanese citizenship for foreigners. Proposed requirements include increasing the length of residency in Japan and language proficiency.
With respect to language proficiency, the U.S. has had English language and civics test requirements for citizenship since the 1930s. If the prime minister’s proposal is approved by the legislature (the Diet), then Japan will have finally caught up with the U.S. and other European countries. Whether language tests and so on effectively screen out undesirable candidates is not known. How have they worked out in the U.S.?
How to destroy a country, part 3
PROMOTE Conformity in the Guise of Individualism. Has there ever been such conformity among the youth of a democratic nation before? Most young people are politically correct. They have been reared to believe in themselves as individuals, and to hold their own self-esteem (their very high and totally unearned self-esteem) as an intrinsic part of said individuality. But in reality they have been socially engineered into individuals who all believe the same thing.
‘The year that the shoe dropped’: How the Canada-U.S. relationship changed in 2025
WASHINGTON – The people anxiously sipping hot chocolate in the Canadian Embassy in Washington on a cold night in January almost a year ago couldn’t have predicted the roller-coaster of trade provocations and bilateral blow-ups the next 12 months would bring.
In hindsight, that unusually chilly Washington evening foreshadowed how the Canada-U.S. relationship would soon freeze over.
Trump’s tariff threats and his talk of annexing Canada had already rattled Canadian politics over the preceding weeks. A rushed trip to Mar-a-Lago in early November 2024 failed to mend former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s already rocky relationship with the incoming U.S. president.
Christmas in a migrant hotel – A shameless drug dealer. Illegal car wash and building site workers. And countless young men free to vanish into the underworld
Standing in spacious grounds among pine trees, the Brasserie restaurant at the Copthorne Hotel was once a much-loved venue where local families enjoyed a meal out at weekends.
The hotel website still chirps that the Brasserie, overlooking a Japanese-style lake and courtyard, offers ‘British cuisine’, including a traditional Sunday roast.
‘Your little ones will love the play area and children’s menu too,’ it burbles.
The Gulag Beckons
The knife descends in the dark—not the theatrical blade of some cinematic villain but the cold, ideological steel wielded by the new totalitarians: leftist zealots, Islamo-fascists, trans activists, and the corporate-state hydra that shields them. In England, writing (and then deleting) a furious tweet after little girls were murdered earns a woman a prison sentence. In Canada, a pastor is dragged from his pulpit for reading Leviticus aloud. In France, a conservative philosopher is de-platformed before he can utter a syllable; in Poland, a journalist is fired for citing demographic data. The pattern is global, relentless, and accelerating.
