Why Canada needs to recognize the crime of femicide — on Dec. 6 and beyond

More than 1,100 Canadian women and girls have been killed by men since 2018. So why is the federal government dragging its heels in adding femicide to the Criminal Code?

I see these hideously ugly vehicles at times here in Vancouver 🇨🇦; ea. time I question the morality/mental competency of the owner. Apropos that in billionaire-run Trump2 USA these would be platformed.

Tech billionaire's donation brings Tesla Cybertrucks to Las Vegas police

The nation’s largest police fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks is set to begin patrolling the streets of Las Vegas in November. The fleet of 10 Cybertrucks was a gift from a billionaire venture capitalist for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill sees the addition of the trucks as part of a larger effort to enhance the department's technology. The donation has raised concerns from government oversight experts about private donors’ influence on public departments and the boost to the Tesla brand. The department is the latest U.S. city to turn to Tesla models even as Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company has face blowback because of his work earlier in the year to advance the president’s political agenda and downsize the federal government.

Trump Was Asked to Define a Woman. It Went as Well as You’d Expect

Donald Trump stumbled over the popular right-wing question.

Who is Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop who upset Trump during an inaugural prayer service?

The Right Rev. Mariann Budde, Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of Washington, made headlines this week after she angered President Donald Trump with her sermon during an inaugural prayer service. It was not the first time the cleric has publicly disagreed with Trump, but it became a striking moment in what is usually a staid and scripted event. Budde made a direct appeal to Trump in her sermon, asking him to have mercy on members of the LGBTQ+ community and migrants who are in the country illegally. Trump later claimed Budde is a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater” on his Truth Social site.
