Sask. woman says boyfriend removed surgical screw poking out of her head after doctor didn’t believe her

Stephanie Faure knew something was wrong when she woke up feeling pressure in her head.

Surgeons had opened up her skull 14 months earlier to remove brain tumours. They performed a craniotomy that left her with a metal plate, screws and a scar.

So when she looked more closely at her head on Sunday and saw what looked like a screw pushing out through her skin, she decided to go to the hospital.

Two plasma donors die at private Canadian clinics under federal investigation

Two people have died in Canada after donating plasma at a chain of clinics that has been under scrutiny by federal inspectors for failing to keep accurate records, screen donors or maintain its machines.

While experts say the deaths are exceedingly rare, critics say Canada’s embrace of private companies to handle blood products reflects a “slow collapse of a system that has been the envy of the world”.


Everything in Canada is turning to shit.

Germany won’t return to nuclear power, chancellor says

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is in favor of a proposal to build new nuclear power plants in the EU. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says it’s impossible.

At a nuclear summit near Paris earlier this week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described the transition from nuclear energy undertaken by some EU countries as a “strategic mistake.” Nuclear power, she said, is a “reliable, affordable source of low-emission electricity.” She announced new EU financial assistance for nuclear power plants.

Von der Leyen’s words reverberated in Germany, which switched off its last nuclear reactor in 2023.

CHARLEBOIS: The rise of the pyjamas economy and what that means

If you spend enough time in a grocery store these days, you will notice something that would have been unusual not long ago: Shoppers pushing carts in pyjama pants.

What once felt like a social faux pas is quietly becoming normal. Pyjama bottoms, flannel lounge pants and slippers have become part of what could be called the new “errand uniform.” And while it may seem trivial, consumer behaviour — even clothing choices — often reveals deeper economic shifts.

Bob Gale resigns as chair of Niagara Region amid allegations over copy of Hitler’s book

Bob Gale has resigned as chair of the Regional Municipality of Niagara amid calls for an apology from local anti-racism groups that claim he owns a copy of Adolf Hitler’s book.

Gale submitted on Wednesday a letter to Rob Flock, the Ontario minister of municipal affairs and housing, stating that his resignation was effective immediately.

“Today, a member of the communist party circulated a dated document that listed my name as the owner of a historical book found in many libraries,” Gale wrote in his letter to Flack.

Earlier Wednesday, the Niagara Region Anti-Racism Association and the Justice 4 Black Lives Niagara issued a joint release alleging that Gale purchased and owned a copy of “Mein Kampf,” Hitler’s political manifesto, signed by the Nazi leader.

It’s an historic document. The latter day Nazi Karens would burn all of us at the stake on the flimsiest of pretexts.

Germany: After girl gang raped, Berlin youth center accused of cover-up because they did not want suspects to be labeled as ‘typical Muslims’

A Turkish-Kurdish schoolgirl is said to have been groped by nine boys of Arab descent in the back room of a Berlin youth center in Gropiusstadt, Neukölln. It then came out that she was raped in November, in the youth center garden. A scandal has erupted after it was reported that the youth center staff did not file a police report, reportedly out of fear that the suspects would be labeled as the “typical Muslims.”

Larry Maher: Canadian Jews are angry. It’s a start

We have been painted as ‘white oppressors’ with our own history of persecution erased

” …The need to constantly define and negotiate with others about racism, religious hatred, and cultural intolerance demonstrates how lost society has become. The Jewish community believed that if we spoke in the language of progressives and their ideology of DEI, we would be accepted as a minority that deserves a spot at the table. Instead, we have been painted as “white oppressors” with our own history of persecution erased.”


He doesn’t condemn the racist foundation of DEI and call for it to be dismantled. Instead he expresses disappointment that Jews were painted as White oppressors under DEI despite efforts to be accepted as official members of the racist club that claims the right to perpetually condemn White people as evil just for the colour of their skin.

Doesn’t that imply he’s fine with DEI’s ongoing hatred of White people and would be doubly so had only his team won a seat at the table?

That’s some blind spot … at the table.
