Climate activists in Vancouver said they threw maple syrup on a painting by one of Canada’s most iconic artists at the Vancouver Art Gallery Saturday to bring attention to the global climate emergency.
Emily Kelsall, who identified herself as one of the people who covered Emily Carr’s 1934 painting Stumps and Sky with maple syrup, said she was with a group called Stop Fracking Around.
No charges? Given Carr’s oeuvre was cultural appropriation the gallery probably wants to ditch her work anyway.
Democrats are projected to hold onto their narrow Senate majority after Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto eked out a win in Nevada Saturday night, beating back a furious challenge from Republicans who sought to seize on voters’ growing economic and political angst in an effort to upend unified Democratic control of Washington.
Eight years after Ayad Alhussein was abducted by the terror group ISIS, he has been reunited with his family in Winnipeg.
On Thursday at the Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, Amal and Leila Alhussein hugged their little brother Ayad for the first time in eight years.
“We’re just so excited to welcome him to our new home here in Winnipeg,” Amal said.
They were last together at their home in Iraq when in 2014, ISIS arrived in the Yazidi family’s community. Amid the carnage, the family of 20 was reduced to just four. Ayad, who was only six years old at the time, was abducted by the terror group.
I can’t help but wonder why this story has received so little media attention relative to the coverage given to the ISIS whores Canada allows back.
Large groups of frustrated migrants have clashed with police near Dunkirk, after French authorities prevented them from crossing the Channel.
The group, who were still wearing life jackets, hurled stones at tear gas-carrying officers after they were forced back from the beachfront on Saturday morning.
While Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault leads a Canadian delegation of more than 300 people at an ongoing UN climate conference in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt — a seaside vacation resort — Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise again, contrary to claims by the last environment minister.
Six people are feared dead after a historic World War II-era B-17 Flying Fortress slammed into a P-63 Kingcobra plane in midair outside of Dallas, Texas on Saturday.
The two World War II-era planes collided in mid-air at the Wings Over Dallas event, sending debris flying and igniting a fire nearby.
Jason Evans, a Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman, told the Dallas Morning News that the crash occurred at around 1.30pm above the Dallas Executive Airport.

Text messages entered into evidence at the Emergencies Act inquiry describe a testy exchange between feuding Alberta and federal ministers around the time the act was invoked.
At the time, the province was struggling with a blockade near a southern Alberta village. People protesting COVID-19 restrictions used large trucks and other vehicles to block commercial traffic to and from the U.S. at Coutts between Jan. 29 and Feb. 14.
About a week into the blockade, Alberta turned to Ottawa to ask about the possibility of using Canadian Armed Forces tow trucks to remove the blockade vehicles after local tow operators rejected RCMP requests.
In recent years, there have been a series of high-profile media exposés of people who are falsely taking on an Indigenous identity. They are being called “pretendians.” The word blends “pretend” with “Indians.” It’s a cute word, too cute. The use of the word pretend makes it sound like a game, like something fun, like action with no consequences. People don’t cause harm when they pretend, and pretending has an air of innocence about it because that’s what children do.
WASHINGTON — The serious drought in much of the United States over the past several months is having an impact on the Mississippi River, the second-longest river in the country after the Missouri River.
The Mississippi’s water levels fell so low in some places that they surpassed records set more than 30 years ago.
A new national poll gives Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a 7-point edge over former President Donald Trump in a potential presidential primary battle, the first survey of the 2024 cycle to do so — and the first poll since February 2016 to point to a weakening of Trump’s GOP dominance.
The YouGov poll, released Friday, found that 42% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents prefer DeSantis over Trump as the party’s 2024 standard-bearer, while 35% of those surveyed remain in the 45th president’s corner.
This is the emotional moment wives of mobilised Russian men – who ‘hid under corpses to survive’ – travelled close to the frontline to find their retreating husbands and demand commanders return them home from Putin’s war hell.
Up to 70 women had set off on foot from Belgorod to occupied Luhansk region in search of their spouses following a ‘massacre’ blamed on inept senior officers.
Some of the wives reached the men – who have pulled back from the frontline – and confronted commanders who have so far refused to permit them to leave the war zone.

Maintaining the illusion that there is “systemic racism” in the United States, where racial discrimination has been against the law for six decades, requires constant propagandizing, but never fear: CNN is up to the job. On Wednesday, it ran a lengthy, weepy piece entitled “‘Stacked against you’: Critics say the lottery system is preying on poor communities.” Yes, that’s right: Powerball is racist now.
THE excess deaths crisis continues, with 1,232 – 12.3 per cent above the five-year average – registered in England and Wales in the week ending October 28, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Of these, 804 were attributed to an underlying cause other than Covid-19, bringing the total excess non-Covid deaths since the wave began in April to 23,287.
Environmentalism has been hijacked by the technocrats
By now, you have probably heard about the rising threat of “eco-fascism”. If you haven’t, you soon will, because the number of people warning about this new danger to civilisation seems to be growing exponentially. In publications Right and Left and neither, you’ll be able to read long expositions of the origins and intentions of this frightening movement, which seems to be taking root all over the world.
We would ‘respect their privacy at this difficult time’ — if only they’d let us
Bella Hadid ate burritos today, in case anyone was wondering. Kourtney Kardashian had a smoothie and Paris Hilton had a facial. These snippets of celebrity lives have become so accessible through social media that many of us see these characters more than our family members. But lately, along with recipes and promotions of their new album, fans are increasingly seeing too much.
