- The BC port strike has been settled. It's a different story at Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, where the staff have gone on strike provincewide. Expect a lot of pink elephant sightings in Manitoba this summer.
- Media outlets in Canada have asked the Competition Bureau to investigate Meta's blocking of news. The effectiveness of this remains to be seen.
- The Republican governor of New Hampshire is trying to get anti-Trump Republicans to settle on a single candidate in the primaries. Whether this has any chance of succeeding or not is another question.
- Ukrainian police report having foiled a plot to kill Zelensky.
- In England, COVID-19 and flu vaccines are being limited to those over 65 or with other health risks. It seems hard to justify this; people who aren't at high risk of serious illness themselves can still give the diseases to people who are. Maybe they think this will win more approval from the "freedumb" crowd. The fact that they're actually denying much of the population the freedom to get vaccinated probably doesn't matter to their target audience.
- Another potential flashpoint for superpower conflict. Just what we need...
- Trump seems to be daring judges to lock him up. Which makes one wonder; he's not the brightest guy around, but he's smarter than he appears. Is he trying to set up a situation where his sheeple will rise up en masse against the government? And if so, could such an uprising go further than the Jan. 6 one? How far? Stay tuned.
- The Kremlin says it's "theoretically possible" to cancel the next presidential election. Now why would they bring that up?
