Harvey Nahirniak walks toward his paddock of cattle, his tall rubber boots caked with rich, black soil.
Cows, dusted with mud, huff in the afternoon heat. His beloved workhorses stand in the sun like statues while the farm’s fat, white guardian dog, Marvin, pants in the shade.
Nahirniak’s expertise lies in crops and cattle. His family has farmed the same stretch of land in the sleepy hamlet of Round Hill, Alta., for generations.
The CBC wants you to believe Poilievre is in trouble.
Filmmakers, educators, and other entertainment industry professionals are reacting in alarm at a new Amazon-backed tool that will allow viewers to create their own TV shows using an artificial intelligence system called Showrunner.
Fable, a company backed by Amazon, is touting Showrunner as the “Netflix of AI,” and allows users to create their own animated series by using text prompts.
Shame. There used to be more of it and that was a good thing. Nowadays, a lack of shame runs rampant as people gaslight the world in the hopes no one will check up on them. In British Columbia, our current gaslighter-in-chief is Randene Neill, the minister of water, land and resource stewardship.
In a lengthy Aug. 1 Facebook post, Neill addressed recent changes to land use planning in B.C., which she claimed had been “misunderstood.”
Colombian senator and presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe has died two months after being shot in the head in a targeted attack which shocked the South American nation.
The 39-year-old was hit by three bullets – two of them in the head and one in the leg – at a campaign rally on 7 June in the capital, Bogotá.
His wife confirmed his death on social media, paying tribute to “the love of my life”.
Tweet translation – “Miguel Uribe Turbay, leader of the Colombian right, passed away after two months of hospitalization.
This is how he was shot by an infiltrator at his last campaign rally”

More than a year after announcing a new immigration stream that would have granted permanent residency to low-wage workers already in Canada, the federal government has yet to move ahead on formally launching the program – suggesting that Ottawa could be backing away from the plan altogether.
The plan targeting low-wage workers was informally announced in April 2024, through the Canada Gazette. Consultations were set to begin last year on amending immigration laws to admit a “new permanent economic class of workers in TEER 4 and TEER 5 jobs.”
Mass immigration from incompatible cultures is a feature not a bug. Yes they are out to get you.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg and other anti-Israel activists will reattempt to break the Israel Defense Forces blockade of the Hamas-held Gaza Strip, Thunberg and flotilla organizers announced on Sunday, with dozens of vessels scheduled to set sail on August 31.
Post-sex regret is not a bad thing in itself. It is a normal, and even potentially constructive, emotion. While the feeling of a regretted sexual act or entire encounter is experienced negatively, it also creates an opportunity to reflect and change our behaviours to avoid future regret. It becomes a problem when an individual, without having voiced any objection during an act or encounter, takes that feeling of post-sex regret and hurls it as an accusation toward an unsuspecting sexual partner.
Commuters who took the law into their own hands when a Tube passenger dropped his trousers in a packed London Underground carriage could face arrest, the Daily Mail can reveal today.
British Transport Police (BTP) believe the naked man, who has since been detained under the mental health act, was assaulted on the District line in east London.
Up to four men stepped in when he repeatedly refused to pull up his pants at 3.30pm last Thursday. He was pinned to the floor and carried off the train before being arrested by an off duty police officer.

Despite adding long-term care beds, retirement homes and student dormitories to its housing statistics, the Ford government fell tens of thousands of units short of its goal last year.
New data released by the province this month confirms that even with its modified definitions of new housing, Ontario achieved less than 80 per cent of its self-imposed 125,000-unit target for 2024.
Why is that idiot at Queen’s Park still wanting to import the 3rd world? Oh right his cronies love their slaves.

Trump demands homeless people ‘immediately’ move out of Washington DC
US President Donald Trump has said homeless people must “move out” of Washington DC as he vowed to tackle crime in the city, but the mayor pushed back against the White House likening the American capital to Baghdad in Iraq.
The Republican president has also trailed a news conference for Monday about his plan to make the city “safer and more beautiful than it ever was before”.
Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, said: “We are not experiencing a crime spike.”
Trump signed an order last month making it easier to arrest homeless people, and he last week ordered federal law enforcement into the streets of Washington DC.

Organizers of the African Descent Festival say they feel let down by Vancouver officials who hit them with hefty policing fees — charges they claim were meant to block their event.
But city officials insist the festival failed to meet safety and planning requirements.
The vibrant celebration of Black culture, held annually since 2015, was abruptly shut down Friday morning as police moved in to disperse attendees. Barricades remain at English Bay Beach, where the weekend festival was scheduled for Aug. 9 to 10.

Doesn’t look very inclusive…

The new boss of one of Britain’s largest environmental groups has agreed that membership has become too white and middle class, as he vowed to build a more diverse movement.
Asad Rehman, who this week has become the first person of colour to lead Friends of the Earth in its 54-year history, said anti-fracking battles had seen the organisation stand alongside working-class people in “left-behind, deprived” communities. But the self-described “reluctant environmentalist” said more needed to be done.
An analysis last year by the Race Report campaign found environmental and conservation groups were among the least diverse in the UK, with 4.5 per cent of their staff being non-white compared with 16 per cent in the working population overall.
Nice work if you can get it. @fancypants_s https://t.co/AP9UDRA8rv
