Justin Trudeau has been mocked online for using the latest sexual identities acronym, which includes a number, nine letters and the plus sign.
The Canadian Prime Minister, 49, tweeted this week in honor of the lives of ‘Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people’ who have gone missing or been murdered.
But the use of the acronym sparked controversy on Twitter with people joking that it looked like a typo as one wrote: ‘Headbutting a keyboard is now a sexuality’.
A Saskatoon-based citizens action group, Saskatchewanians for Sidewalk Sustenance, (SSS) is launching a province-wide public information campaign to demand the imposition of an annual fee for sidewalk use across the province.
Americans’ trust in the media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly has edged down four percentage points since last year to 36%, making this year’s reading the second lowest in Gallup’s trend.

A British mother and former Pizza Hut worker who left to join Islamic State has urged the UK to let her return from Syria with her daughters aged seven, nine and 12.
Nicole Jack, of Shepherd’s Bush, West London, and her children are being detained at Camp Roj where relatives of people suspected of belonging to Isis are held.
Ms Jack, 34, is being held at the same camp as Isis bride Shamima Begum – a fellow Londoner who had her UK citizenship cancelled by Sajid Javid on security grounds in 2019 and will not be allowed back – but insisted she is not a security threat to Britain.

Germany says it has repatriated eight women, who had joined the so-called Islamic State (IS), and 23 children from a camp in northern Syria.
They were brought back in a joint operation with Denmark, which repatriated three women and 14 children, German officials said.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the women were in custody and faced a criminal investigation.
Government policy on testing is worryingly misleading
There’s been a bit of a Covid outbreak in our neighbourhood, including our eldest child (he’s fine). All the cases were first detected with rapid, at-home “lateral flow” tests, or LFTs.
It is currently government policy that if you get a positive LFT, but then you do the traditional, more accurate PCR and it’s negative, you don’t have to self-isolate any more: you can go back to school or work or whatever. If our child’s LFT had been followed up by a negative PCR, he would be back in school.
To Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, what happens between consenting adults is a completely private matter.
In fact, she is challenging the limits of libertarian ideology.
For example, when five gangsters were arrested for holding a public gunfight in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood last week, shooting more than 70 rounds at each other in all, she decided to let them go without charges.
After all, as her office explained to police, it was a quarrel between “mutual combatants !”
Even Chicago’s leftist mayor, Lori Lightfoot, is a bit uncomfortable with this decision.
Torontonians can expect to pay a premium on their energy bills this winter as prices for North American fuel, natural gas and coal reach heights not seen in years.
Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, projects that gasoline prices at Greater Toronto Area pumps will hit $1.50 per litre in the coming weeks, up 44 per cent from a year ago.
That would be the highest price point for auto fuel anywhere in Ontario since the summer of 2014, when a litre sold for $1.43.
I’m just so grateful to be keeping the Saudi’s afloat.
No one in the federal government is saying who made the final decision to relieve the Catholic Church of its financial responsibilities to residential school survivors.
But a source with direct knowledge of the controversial 2015 case told CBC News that then-minister of justice Jody Wilson-Raybould wasn’t consulted, even though a lawyer in her department signed the final release.
“This is stunning. It’s just unbelievable that the first Indigenous minister of justice was frozen out of a decision like this,” said Tom McMahon, a former general legal counsel for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission who also spent 17 years as a lawyer in the Department of Justice.
According to new data put out by the CDC on Wednesday, 2020 saw the largest spike in homicide rates in over one hundred years. Between 2019 and 2020, homicide rates jumped by about 30%, which experts say is one of the largest recorded increases in American history.
In 2020, the homicide rate was about 7.8 homicides per 100,000 people, an increase from roughly 6.0 homicides per 100,000 in 2019.
How many times has Justin Trudeau begged forgiveness for transgressions that would probably have seen him fired in the private sector?
Justin Trudeau’s recognition that he was “in error” when he chose to travel to a beach holiday on the first National Truth and Reconciliation Day rekindles doubts about the prime minister’s judgment that have dogged him his entire political career.
Face it. Justin’s string-pullers remain satisfied. That means they will keep the pinhead in power.
Lebanese-Canadian businessman Chadi Chaarani says he is a respected entrepreneur with an “impeccable” reputation forged through ventures in Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Over the past year, three banks cancelled his accounts and refused to do business with him amid published allegations that he was involved in an arms deal in which Serbian mortar shells fell into the hands of terrorists.
New details about his alleged role in the deal, buried in the Pandora Papers leak of millions of offshore tax haven documents, show Chaarani was the director of a British Virgin Islands-based shell company alongside a Saudi military official and a U.S. defence contractor.

Get in line, Canada, the U.S. has bigger problems than its closed border
… Throughout the pandemic, COVID-19 deaths per capita in Mexico have been three times higher than in Canada, and Mexico has at points relied on vaccines from Russia and China that are not approved in the U.S. Aside from that, the politics of the U.S. southern land border are always a lightning rod because of immigration and refugee fights that dominate American partisan politics when they flare up, as they have this year.
For reasons of both public health and political optics, reopening the land border to Mexicans now is a potentially explosive issue.
Frances Haugen, the Facebook “whistleblower” who came forward with complaints that the Big Tech giant allowed the Jan. 6 riot to occur, has been exposed as a radical Democrat operative.
Canada is facing a potential wave of terminations tied to mandatory workplace vaccine policies as a growing number of employers require workers to be fully inoculated against COVID-19 — or risk losing their jobs, legal experts say.
