The Beeb Wants Britain to Know They’ve Got a Dog Problem

There seems to be a concerted effort from certain sectors of the more elite strata of British society to tweak what they see happening around them that offends their more refined, educated, and virtuous sensibilities.

Kelly: Quebec’s music and language was MIA at the Junos

The Juno Awards ceremony on Sunday completely ignored Quebec, with the francophone album trophy handed out at an earlier gala, almost no Quebec artists performing (the only one was former Montrealer Allison Russell during the Joni Mitchell tribute), and the only person to utter a word in French was our prime minister.

The Junos are billed as “Canada’s Music Awards.” But based on Sunday night’s gala, that’s false advertising. These Junos apparently don’t include Quebec.

I don’t consider the Juno’s to be “Canadian”. The only talent required is to be a left wing crank.

‘She didn’t know what she was doing’: Ontario senior with dementia charged by OPP after assault

The family of a 93-year-old Ontario woman with severe dementia who was arrested and charged after an altercation with her elderly husband is asking for police to use more discretion when it comes to dementia cases.

Evelyn Patton shouldn’t have been charged with assault in December despite the Ontario Provincial Police’s mandatory charging rules in cases of intimate partner violence because she was in a delirium and didn’t have the mental state to commit a crime, said her daughter Shelley Hodgkinson.

Sadistic lesbian foster moms made boy, 12, wear soaking wetsuit and joked ‘Shiver, shiver dumb f**k’ before his horrific death, murder trial hears

Two lesbian foster moms tortured a 12-year-old boy by forcing him to wear a soaking wetsuit as they mocked him in gut-wrenching messages before he was tragically found dead, prosecutors claim.

The disturbing claims about the death of the Canadian child, identified only as LL, have come to light during the murder trial of Becky Hamber, 44, and 46-year-old Brandy Cooney.

LL, who died on December 21, 2022, was found soaking wet, unresponsive, and emaciated in the basement of the couple’s Toronto-area home before being pronounced dead at the hospital, the court was told.

Distressing footage shows aftermath of Derby car-ramming as two victims leave hospital and police continue to question suspect

Distressing footage showing the aftermath of a car crash which left seven people injured has emerged as police continue to question the driver.

Two people can be seen lying in the street in the footage taken after a car reportedly mounted a pavement and mowed down revellers in Derby on Saturday night.

Another man who appears to be dazed can be seen sitting in the road as blue lights flash around.

“Man from India” may mean Muslim given that country is on track to have the world’s largest Islamist population of any nation on Earth.

Carney deflects from floor crossing MP’s China’s slave state comments … wonders if he’ll have to report gift from Xi

Carney defends Canada’s approach to forced labour amid fallout from floor-crossing MP’s comments

Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canada’s approach to forced labour as one of his newest MPs continues to face backlash for appearing to cast doubt on the practice in China.

Carney’s response to Michael Ma’s performance at committee last week comes during a sensitive moment in both Canada’s attempts to reset ties with Beijing and the ongoing trade war with the Trump administration — which is investigating whether its northern neighbour and dozens of other countries are failing to take action on forced labour.

Millions of Americans are now eligible for Canadian citizenship and many are applying ‘just in case’

When Donald Trump was first elected in 2016, New York State resident Ellen Robillard briefly looked into getting Canadian citizenship. Her mother, after all, was born in Nova Scotia.

As a Democrat, Robillard was despondent at the election results, but she abandoned the idea after realizing that her young son wouldn’t be eligible for citizenship under a law that barred Canadians born abroad from passing their citizenship to children if they were also born outside Canada.

News outlets falsely report Somaliland called for extradition of Ilhan Omar

Several news outlets have falsely reported that Somaliland’s government called for the extradition of Ilhan Omar, basing their stories on a post from an X account that does not represent the state despite its claims to the contrary.

Fox News, the New York Post, Sinclair Broadcast Group’s the National News Desk and the Independent ran stories on the US representative. The reports centred on a post by @RepOfSomaliland in reaction to claims by JD Vance that Omar had committed immigration fraud, which echoed prior allegations against the Somali-born Minnesota Democrat that she has vehemently denied.

“Deportation?” the post read. “Please you’re just sending the princess back to her kingdom. Extradition? Say the word …”

‘Equity cards’ arguments take over NDP Leadership Convention: ‘CANADA IS COOKED’

As you already know, the New Democrat Party over the weekend elected a new leader in Avi Lewis.

But prior to him stepping into Jagmeet Singh’s Gucci loafers, there were some other events that took place during the NDP Leadership Convention in Winnipeg.

My suspicion is the Juno’s and the NDP Convention are the same event rebranded.
