So Sad: Bono Recites a Poem as Bush and Obama Mourn USAID Shutdown
The dewy-eyed trio of former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush alongside singer Bono all mourned the passing of USAID on Monday, with the U2 frontman embracing his inner Robert Frost and reciting a sad poem he wrote to lament the occasion.
Pixar’s ‘Elio’ Was Originally ‘Queer-Coded’
Let’s just state the obvious: Hollywood still hasn’t learned a thing. After years of box-office flops and massive public backlash, the geniuses at Pixar and Disney are still convinced that what American families really want is another kids’ movie packed with lectures about “inclusivity” and “queer” identity. Newsflash: They don’t.
Trump celebrates Canada Day
Today is Canada Day, which for 115 years was known as Dominion Day and soon will be known as Statehood Day. The American flag will have 50 stars surrounding a white maple leaf. It will be lovely—one Big Beautiful State.
On Friday, Donald Trump tweeted on Truth Social, “We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country.
There’s no one way to be a Canadian: Commie Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault
OTTAWA — Steven Guilbeault, federal minister of identity and culture, came to his new job just as the whole country was looking at itself in the mirror.
Guilbeault took on the new ministry — which replaces the old heritage ministry and takes up responsibility for Parks Canada — as U.S. President Donald Trump was ramping up a ruinous trade war and talking about annexing his country’s neighbour to the north.
Perhaps the very last person I want to hear from on Canada Day.

Albanian with 50 convictions can stay in UK as crimes ‘not extreme enough’
An Albanian burglar with almost 50 convictions has been allowed to stay in the UK after a judge found his crimes were not “extreme” enough.
Zenel Beshi’s “serious and prolific” offending saw him jailed for six years in Italy for robbery, theft and false imprisonment, an immigration tribunal was told.
He failed to disclose these convictions when he arrived in Britain, however, said the Home Office. It told the tribunal that he posed a “genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat” to the UK and should be deported.
Bonnie Henry, Theresa Tam to receive Order of Canada for role in COVID pandemic response
Drs. Bonnie Henry and Theresa Tam have been appointed to the Order of Canada in recognition of their role in the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
British Columbia’s chief health officer and her former national counterpart were among the 83 people on this year’s list.
Why Do 1,000 Refugees Get Free Wimbledon Tickets While Long Suffering Locals Get None?
Glancing upwards only to spot a drone hovering over their gardens last week was the last straw for residents of Welford Place SW19, whose homes overlook the much lauded All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). While the eye in the sky probably belongs to an accredited broadcaster scouting out local colour ahead of the annual championships, the intrusion felt all too typical of the approach that the Wimbledon high command itself takes to its near neighbours. The annual championships may charm a world audience with its cultivated celebration of grass court tennis, strawberries and a nostalgic evocation of English fair play, but for neighbours this image, as carefully manicured as its famous lawns, is virtually shredded. From a highly controversial planning application to a woke offer of 1,000 free tickets for refugees, local Wimbledonians feel excluded as never before from the international spectacle on their doorsteps.
Cerne Abbas Giant nearly lost his manhood to a grove of trees
The Home Office once suggested concealing the famously prominent genitals of the Cerne Abbas Giant by planting trees over them.
In 1932, an official wrote to the National Trust proposing ways of hiding the Giant’s 35ft penis after Walter Long, a Dorset resident, complained that the “obscenity offended Christian values”.
Why some Canadians are choosing Trump over their country … or… Ignore my TDS brainwashed daughter
His immigration rhetoric and nationalism are luring some “far-right” conservatives in Canada.
While getting my Ontario driver’s license in 2023, I was asked to write a description of the vehicle and then wait in my car for the examiner to find me. I had to use my mother’s car, so, red-faced, I wrote “Chevy SUV, ‘WWG1WGA’ bumper sticker.” The acronym stood for “Where We Go One, We Go All,” the far-right, QAnon-inspired slogan that became a battle cry of the Jan. 6, 2021, riots.
In mainstream Canada, these slogans were virtually unheard of, and the examiner didn’t seem to notice the sticker’s connotations. My mother and other conservative pro-Donald Trump Canadians, however, were parroting these slogans from online conspiracy-fueled echo chambers and what they saw as enviable nationalism. With a brewing trade war between the United States and Canada, pro-Trump Canadians, like my family, are now being forced to choose between the president or their country — and, disturbingly, some are choosing Trump. In his latest volley, the president on Friday abruptly ended trade talks with Canada, saying he would issue new tariffs soon.

Michael Higgins: Hamilton’s ban of a ‘Woman: An Adult Female’ billboard is irrational
We have clearly entered the realm of the ludicrous when a local government in Canada is banning what most reasonable people would regard as the dictionary definition of what is a woman.
The City of Hamilton, Ont., believes that “Woman: An Adult Female,” is too harmful, too toxic and too outrageous to be put on a bus shelter billboard.
Mexico police discover 381 bodies ‘thrown indiscriminately’ on crematorium floor
Police have found 381 corpses piled up in a private crematorium in northern Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez, the local prosecutor’s office has said , attributing the grisly find to negligence.
“Preliminarily, we have 381 bodies that were deposited irregularly in the crematorium, which were not cremated,” Eloy Garcia, spokesperson for the Chihuahua state prosecutor’s office, told AFP.
Garcia said the corpses were “stacked” in no apparent order in various rooms of the building where the crematorium operates.
They were “just thrown like that, indiscriminately, one on top of the other, on the floor,” he said.
