Residents to vote on bylaw that would force Alberta town to remove its Pride crosswalk

Residents of Westlock, Alta., will vote in a plebiscite in February on a proposed bylaw that would force the town to remove its only Pride crosswalk, painted last summer.

Town council voted unanimously Nov. 27 to hold a municipal plebiscite on a proposed “crosswalk and flagpole” bylaw which would ban crosswalks or flags that support “political, social, or religious movements or commercial entities.”

The proposal aims to keep public spaces politically neutral in the town 90 kilometres north of Edmonton.

German government begins razing the forest that acted as a backdrop for many a Grimm’s fairy tale, to make way for wind turbines

Say “verabschiedung” to the magical woodlands that inspired the backdrop for many a Grimm’s fairy tale—or I suppose more appropriately given the shift in demographics, “مع السلامة”—as the German government has officially commenced a controversial deforestation initiative.

My colleague Monica Showalter wrote an excellent and in-depth analysis almost two years ago on the government’s proposal to axe large swathes of Germany’s most famous, and “1,000-year-old”  forest to make way for wind turbines—which you can read here—and the project has finally commenced.

Fergie Chambers – spoiled rich kid with no boundaries

Nestled into the mountains of the Upper Valley in New Hampshire, up a semi-paved road in a house next to a tiny cemetery lined with white picket fencing, Fergie Chambers, 38, leans over his kitchen island, worrying over his commune.

“It feels like we’re throwing the same half-assed solutions at this over and over again and hoping it will yield something different,” he groans into his iPhone, which is on speaker. Fergie’s slight, but buff, on account of his multiple times a day martial arts training and competitions. His hair is cut short. A silver boxing glove dangles from one of his ears. He is covered in tattoos, including a double portrait of Stalin and Mao inked onto his thigh. He looks as if the phrase “Fuck you, Mom and Dad” were a person.

North Koreans ‘sealed off and starved to death in pandemic’

North Koreans starved to death during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a recent defector from the country, who also described the execution of a man for listening to South Korean music.

The man, identified only as Kim, escaped last May with eight other members of his family, including young children, and made the dangerous escape to South Korea by boat. His account is impossible to verify independently but, if accurate, it suggests that food shortages in parts of North Korea have been worse than many outside observers have assumed.

Justin is salivating.
