wtf
It might seem impossible to hurt the feelings of a 3,000-year-old corpse. But woke museum chiefs have stopped using the word ‘mummy’ to describe the remains of ancient Egyptians, all in the name of ‘respect’.
They say the term is dehumanising to those who died and – of course – an unwelcome throwback to Britain’s colonial past.
The phrase now deemed politically acceptable is ‘mummified person’ or ‘mummified remains’.
Muslim convert Jack Letts, who was stripped of UK citizenship, is one of 23 people who will return to Canada from Syria
Canada will repatriate the British-born Isil member known as “Jihadi Jack” along with 22 other citizens held in Islamic State prison camps in north-east Syria.
Muslim convert Jack Letts, 28, who had held dual British and Canadian citizenship, declared he was an “enemy of Britain” after travelling from Oxfordshire to Syria to join the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (Isil) terror group as a teenager.
He begged to be allowed to return to the UK, insisting he had “no intention” of killing Britons, after he was captured by Kurdish forces in 2017.
Justin Trudeau is very aware of just how much he’s become a lightning rod for anger in Canada.
It’s kind of hard to miss. As we sat together in a meeting room at the University of Windsor this week, a gaggle of protesters with the now-familiar “F— Trudeau” flags were gathered outside, cheered on by a mini-convoy of a dozen or so flag-waving, horn-honking trucks.
“It doesn’t affect me personally in the slightest,” the prime minister says.
But wait. Shouldn’t it?

The infamous McDonald’s based in Ottawa, Canada, which saw more than 900 fights in recent years, will shut down after nearly 40 years of service.
Peter Crosthwaite, who owns the building on Rideau Street, told CTV that the franchise owner decided not to renew the lease, with the restaurant set to shut down in April.
The McDonald’s, which a former manager dubbed ‘the worst,’ is mostly known for a viral video of a large 2013 brawl inside its doors that saw customers trading blows while one man pulled out a raccoon from his jacket.
BMO CEO Addresses Suggestion to Designate Convoy Protesters as ‘Terrorists’ to Freeze Accounts
The CEO of Canadian bank BMO addressed on Jan. 19 the revelation that he had recommended to the finance minister that Freedom Convoy protesters be designated as “terrorists” to facilitate the freezing of their financial accounts last year.
“I would never call the convoy protesters terrorists. What was said is that in order for the banks to be helpful, there are certain protocols,” Darryl White told True North’s Andrew Lawton reporting from Davos, Switzerland.
“Those protocols include sanction where we can in fact, help in that case, otherwise, it’s not our business to interfere in the affairs of anyone’s finances, truckers or otherwise.”
Looks like we all need to drink less alcohol.
Last fall, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA), a national organization that provides information and advice on substance use and addiction, shared recommendations that we should all drink no more than one or two drinks a week. We just learned that these are now Canada’s official guidelines.
Nanny Staters are just that stupid.
Human error behind glitch that caused 11,000 flights to be delayed across the country’s airports, say investigators
US planes were grounded nationwide last week because a contractor “unintentionally deleted files” on a crucial computer server used by pilots, investigators found.
The glitch led to travel chaos with more than 11,000 flights delayed and at least 1,300 cancelled on Jan 11.
The blunder marked the first time since the 9/11 attacks that flights across the US were grounded.
Remember when the Paul Pelosi story was big news for a while, then weird things started coming out, and then suddenly everyone stopped talking about it?
“This wasn’t about menswear to go about your daily life in – but an injection of preciousness for a particular demographic of men”
Well that’s a relief. I guess.

The ruling applies to four Canadian men who are being held in the camps.
One of those men is Jack Letts, a Canadian citizen who fled his home in England in 2014, when he was 17, to travel to Syria, resulting in the United Kingdom revoking his British citizenship.
His family says they have no evidence that he was a member of a terrorist group.
The jerk’s Dad was born here but Jihadi Jack spent only about 5 minutes in Canada his entire life. The Brits were smart and stripped the parasite of citizenship.
Jack’s parents were convicted of aiding a terrorist after being caught sending their little jerk money.
The evil little bastard knew exactly what he was doing – “I volunteered for a suicide bombing, Jihadi Jack admits”
Jack Letts has told how he wanted to be a suicide bomber for Islamic State as he admitted fighting with the terrorists.
“I know I was definitely an enemy of Britain,” he told the BBC in an interview recorded in October and released yesterday. “I did what I did. I made a big mistake and that’s what happened. I thought I was leaving something behind and going to something better.”
Oh but then he had a change of heart… When ISIS started to lose.
Businesses innovating anti-theft measures as shoplifting, organized crime surge
Retail thefts have ballooned in the last few years, creating a multi-billion problem for retailers and forcing companies to take drastic action to protect from lost profits.
Numerous pharmacies, grocery stores and other retailers have shortened store hours or been forced to close permanently as locked-up merchandise becomes commonplace to protect against shoplifters and smash-and-grab thieves.
As the annual World Economic Forum takes place in Davos, Switzerland – gathering the global elite, wealthy and a host of anti-life and anti-freedom advocates – the Vatican’s news outlet is promoting the event as “presenting solutions” to world “crises.”
In an interview published January 19 on Vatican News, the local Catholic priest in Davos spoke about the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting. It is taking place in its customary January spot, after having been held online in 2021 and then in May last year.
ODESA, Ukraine — A growing coalition of western states is poised to send tanks to Ukraine. Canada should join them; it would cost peanuts, support Canadian interests and be the moral thing to do.
However, there’s a problem: a significant portion of Canada’s tanks may have been neglected to the point of becoming inoperable — a revelation that until now has escaped much scrutiny from the press, apart from the Post’s John Ivison .
Western allies have been expanding their military aid to Ukraine since December in anticipation of a Russian springtime offensive .
Yea but our army knows proper pronoun deployment in battlefield conditions.
