Migrants caught in freezing bog near Manitoba border are from Mexico, officials say
United States officials say at least seven of the nine men caught crossing the border this week from southeast Manitoba are Mexican citizens.
RCMP were first alerted to the group when one of them called 911 early Tuesday suffering from the cold weather.
BuzzFeed News is has published its last listicle.
The parent company of the site that took the news business by storm in the early 2010s and also published the now-debunked Steele Dossier is being shut down, according to a memo from BuzzFeed Inc. CEO Jonah Peretti on Thursday
If striking bureaucrats get their pay raises, inflation might never end
When 155,000 federal government workers walked off the job this week, they tested more than the resolve of the government and the patience of Canadian taxpayers. They also tested Newton’s third law, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
There is no question that the cost of living has been rising and that people need relief. But that does not come from simply giving everyone more money.
Very shortly the Trudeau government and Canada’s public service unions, a critical component of the Liberal Party’s electoral success, will rub shit in your face and tell you to like it.
They will get virtually all they ask for. Trudeau is in need of their support and like the CBC the unions were never non-partisan.

Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh all crave the labour vote. Here’s why the federal strike complicates that
OTTAWA—When NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh turned up in front of Parliament Hill Wednesday to join thousands of striking federal workers, the picket line all but turned into a party line.
After all, Singh has noted repeatedly in recent days, his party has always stood on the side of unions.
The Public Service is not the “labour vote”. Labour in Canada is mostly non-unionized.
The unionization rate for private sector employees fell from 19.0% in 1997 to 13.8% in 2021. In contrast, 74.1% of public sector employees were union members in 2021, 4.3 percentage points higher than in 1997.
A Netflix docudrama series that depicts Queen Cleopatra VII as a black African has sparked controversy in Egypt.
A lawyer has filed a complaint that accuses African Queens: Queen Cleopatra of violating media laws and aiming to “erase the Egyptian identity”.
A top archaeologist insisted Cleopatra was “light-skinned, not black”.
I hope Cleo is a Dwarf who hooks up with a racialized Gay Elf and goes on a Ring quest, that would be a great show.

Kitty Noah sits barefoot on her son Noah Noah’s couch in Iqaluit, sipping a hot cup of coffee.
Occasionally, the 62-year-old blurts out “aakuluk” to her family, who repeat the Inuktitut term of endearment back to her.
“I love her a lot,” says her son, Samuel Hughes, Kitty’s caregiver.
When Hughes heard that his mother was the victim of an alleged lie to gain Inuit identity for a pair of Ontario twins they had never met, he said he was surprised and upset.
I hope we can deport them.
Someone, somewhere thought it was a smashing idea to house Desiree Anderson in a Windsor women’s shelter.
Of course, there was no consideration for the wishes, feelings or fears of other residents. That would be … regressive and wildly off-message in 2023.

A Russia-based outreach organization that has cultivated relationships with rising American, European and Canadian policy professionals and academics has secretly received financing and direction from Moscow’s spy service, U.S. prosecutors allege.
In court documents filed in Washington, U.S. authorities say that an organization known as Public Initiative Creative Diplomacy, or PICREADI, was being used by Russian intelligence to glean information about influential foreigners.
‘Ghost’ vessels map wind farms and communication cables in preparation for full-scale conflict with West
Russian spy ships are mapping wind farms and communication cables in the North Sea as part of plans to sabotage Europe’s energy infrastructure, an investigation has found.
A number of European intelligence agencies are closely monitoring the threat posed by the fleet of Russian boats, which are often disguised as fishing trawlers or research vessels, operating in the area.

A search for unmarked graves at the former Blue Quills Residential School in eastern Alberta found 19 sites that contained anomalies consistent with burial plots.
The property, located about 150 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, was once a Roman Catholic-run institution. It now operates as University nuhelot’įne thaiyots’į nistameyimâkanak Blue Quills, which is governed by the seven First Nations communities that surround it.
An investigation using ground-penetrating radar uncovered “reflections” in the soil that are indicative of human burials or graves.

Eco-zealots who tried to storm the Grand National have complained that police were rough with them as they were arrested for attempting to cause massive disruption at the world-famous racecourse.
In a video set to emotional piano music posted on Twitter last night, activists from XR offshoot Animal Rising – formerly Animal Rebellion – claimed Merseyside Police officers and security guards from G4S broke their bones, unleashed dogs and used pepper-spray on them.
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is governed by a board of up to 18 directors, and Canada’s industry minister has the power to appoint two of those directors, something charity expert Kate Bahen says she has never seen before.
It’s “highly unusual” for the government to have this influence on a charity, even when the government gives an endowment, Bahen told The Epoch Times.
That’s a very blurred line.
Two teenagers have been arrested in connection to Saturday’s mass shooting at a Sweet 16 celebration in Dadeville, Alabama, that left four people dead and 32 injured.
Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, both of Tuskeegee, were both arrested Tuesday.
Each teen was charged with four counts of reckless murder, Sgt. Jeremy Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Wednesday during the first police news conference about the shooting since Sunday.
