- Premier Stefanson's former chief of staff incurred thousands of dollars in traffic fines while behind the wheel of a government vehicle. Although, to be fair, at least that's one way to get the province to provide funding to municipalities.
- A 73-year-old man has been charged with aggravated assault and other offenses after allegedly attacking another man with bear spray and a small chainsaw. No word yet on the motive.
- Kenneth Law has now been hit with 12 more charges following further investigations in the UK over suicides that allegedly occurred with his assistance.
- Global Affairs Canada has issued a travel advisory for the US, warning LGBTQ travellers that they could face persecution in some states. Perhaps they should also be issuing similar warnings for black people.
- The US military wants to equip robot dogs with rifles. Can't see anything going wrong there...
- COVID-19 seems to be on a bit of a resurgence, and nobody seems to know what measures to take.
- The Trump-stacked Supreme Court of the US has forced the government to withdraw some protections for wetlands.
- The wildfire in Greece, which has killed at least 20 people so far, is now the largest wildfire recorded in the EU.
- An Algerian journalist and a Canadian-Algerian researcher have been jailed for "publishing sensitive state information" and "receiving funds from foreign powers for the purposes of undermining state security".
- A shire (equivalent to an RM in Manitoba or a township in Ontario) in Western Australia is considering banning motor vehicles from their beaches, because the kind of arseholes who drive motor vehicles can't seem to stick to the part of the beach where they're allowed. Add them to the list of people giving freedom a bad name.
