And they're throwing them at a picture of him.

Nigel Farage's fear of being the next target is a stark reminder of the dangers of political violence. The 'toss a milkshake at Nigel Farage' game at a Pride Festival is not just disrespectful, it’s a dangerous precedent.

Seriously? They were throwing milkshakes at a cardboard cutout of him. Seems pretty mild. You'd have to slide a fair way down the not-so-slippery slope to even get to throwing a milkshake at the real frog-faced twat, let alone trying to actually harm him.

An “egregious” refusal by successive Canadian governments to honor a key treaty signed with Indigenous nations made a “mockery” of the deal and deprived generations of fair compensation for their resources, Canada’s top court has ruled.

But while the closely watched decision will likely yield billions in payouts, First Nation chiefs say the ruling adds yet another hurdle in the multi-decade battle for justice.

In a scathing and unanimous decision released on Friday, Canada’s supreme court sharply criticized both the federal and Ontario governments for their “dishonourable” conduct around a 174-year-old agreement, which left First Nations people to struggle in poverty while surrounding communities, industry and government exploited the abundant natural resources in order to enrich themselves.

“For almost a century and a half, the Anishinaabe have been left with an empty shell of a treaty promise,” the court wrote in the landmark ruling.

Will still be working on the same problem a century from now.

Intel has not halted sales or clawed back any inventory. It will not do a recall, period.

Buy AMD. Got it!

LGBTQ+ people have a higher rate of living singly or in a relationship without children. No doubt also a tendency to vote Democrat. Conservative, anti-abortion Christians have some of the largest families, so get more votes. It's pretty clear what he's up to.

"Let me just say one thing first," Trump began. "So, I had a meeting with them. First, I had a meeting with Congress, Republican Congress. It was like a lovefest. Then, I met with them and the US Senate, which was all Republicans, 49. And it was also a lovefest, but my best meeting of the three (sic) was with the executives. And Biden’s misinformation — people put out a thing: Oh, he went on, he rambled. There was no rambling. This, you could say, this is rambling, but in order to get to the point, you have to, you know, this is a very complex subject, that a lot of people, most people don’t understand. But I just wanted to say, that that was the best meeting. They loved it. They were happy with."

How can anyone can listen to him and not think, "This is just a torrent of nonsense"?

Maybe they're not really trying to protect children.

We have people in Canada who demand their first amendment rights and put Trump stickers on their trucks. These people are not the smartest.

When Justin Trudeau was elected in 2015, he touted his government’s climate credentials on the world stage. “Canada is back, my friends,” he told delegates at the Paris climate summit. “We’re here to help.” His government rolled out a nationwide carbon tax (or as the then environment minister Catherine McKenna called it, a “price on pollution”).

But in the years since, Canada remains the only G7 nation to emit greenhouse gases far above its 1990 levels – while now also planning to extract and export record volumes of oil.

We'll fix the contradiction by electing a government that doesn't even promise to help.

Speaking for nearly an hour to frequent applause from U.S. lawmakers, as well as stony silence from many leading Democrats

It's really not a good look to be applauding this corrupt, mass-murdering, genocidal egotist.

You could see it as bad timing just when they could be cashing in on Intel's troubles, but it does highlight how AMD is being careful about quality control when Intel wasn't, so perhaps it will pay off for them overall.
