Canada

Im from the states and for the last year I've changed to Labatt as my "protests purchase" because of the asshole is the Whitehouse. I probably could have done a better job of reaching things as it seems Labatt sold in the states is actually a US company and not Canadian. However, the product is branded very Canadian so at least is appears im purchasing Canadian. All that said, is there an actual Canadian brewed beer I can purchase in the states you'd recommend? (Looking for a simple lager or pilsner.)

Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank is cutting ties with one of its largest member agencies after the charity uncovered discrepancies with invoices Feed Scarborough provided to support grant funding and reported those and other financial management concerns to police.

Daily Bread’s board of directors decided not to renew Feed Scarborough’s membership agreement last week, so it will no longer receive food deliveries or funding from Daily Bread after its membership expires at the end of this month.

CBC News reviewed that report along with corresponding invoices, corporation records, property records and emails, which together raise a number of concerns about Feed Scarborough’s financial spending and management.

Those issues include $18,000 of invoices Feed Scarborough provided Daily Bread to support grant funding which the vendor has no record of, more than $100,000 of expense claims paid to then-board chair, now CEO, Suman Roy that were self-approved, and using grant money to buy $10,000 worth of food from Roy’s own company.

CBC News has confirmed the deceased is Trevor Dubois. Friends and family have posted about the death, although Saskatoon police and the Saskatchewan Health Authority have not released the name of the deceased.

In a news release, Saskatoon Police say officers were called to the hospital shortly after 7 a.m. CST, after receiving reports that a man had died.

Investigators have determined that hospital security entered a patient's room after it was reported a firearm was seen inside.

"When security attempted to restrain the male, a physical altercation took place. During the interaction, the male became unresponsive and was later pronounced deceased," the news release said.

After the incident, police found an imitation firearm, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

At the time of his death, Dubois was in hospital undergoing chemo treatment for brain cancer.

oh no!

According to Noovo Info, both drivers were sleeping in their trucks when they were violently struck at 1:30 a.m.

According to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), the truck drivers had parked too close to the railroad tracks.

Toronto police say they arrested eight people and 29 charges were laid at a demonstration downtown Saturday.

In a news release Sunday, the Toronto Police Service said its officers attended a demonstration at Nathan Phillips Square, located in the area of Queen Street W. and Bay Street, at around 2 p.m.

Dozens gathered at Nathan Phillips Square Saturday to protest mass immigration, prompting a counter-protest and a news conference with city councillors and opposing groups.

Ahead of the anti-immigration rally, Coun. Neethan Shan (Scarborough-Rouge Park) and Coun. Paula Fletcher (Toronto-Danforth) joined groups such as the National Council of Canadian Muslims and the Urban Alliance on Race Relations to denounce racism and xenophobia, the Toronto & York Region Labour Council said in a news release.

Until there is verifiable proof of the existence of god religion should have no place in society. It should not be taught in schools and should not form the basis of any laws. In fact even if you do show up with proof that god exists I still hold the right to ignore god and religion. I claim the right to live without god.

Good thing the Saskatchewan government allows parents to opt out their children in whole or in-part and bars third party organizations to present on Sexual Health (source) /s

Le gouvernement fédéral continue d’utiliser la plateforme X malgré le scandale.

The NDP leadership race could be turning into a nail-biter with no clear winner in sight. But it's unclear if Canadians are tuning in.

But according to party insiders, three are likely bets to become leader: Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis and Rob Ashton.

Carney’s own department, the Privy Council Office, has been one of the worst performers in the access to information system. In the span of about two years, the office was peppered with an extraordinary 87 legal orders to release documents after initially refusing to provide them to requesters. That’s up from zero orders in the previous three years. Little surprise, then, that bureaucrats have been quietly recommending curbs on the information commissioner’s ability to issue such orders.

I couldn't find an archive link that works. I tried signing in and archiving myself but it still asks for an e-mail.

If you enter a throwaway e-mail it'll let you in without having to confirm.

The federal government is sending the military to help Pimicikamak Cree Nation after a days-long power outage led to damage to hundreds of homes and the evacuation of thousands of people.

In a letter posted to the social media site X on Friday afternoon, Eleanor Olszewski, Canada's emergency management minister, said a "specialized team" from the Canadian Armed Forces will be deployed to the northern Manitoba First Nation.

Military personnel will provide "targeted assessment and advisory support focused on water treatment and sewage systems, power generation, project management and logistics," Olszewski said.

The decision to send military personnel follows a request from Pimicikamak Cree Nation nine days ago.
