ICE’s murder of Renee Good has been a clarifying moment — and not only for Americans.
It also exposed some Canadians.
Notably, the Toronto Sun’s Ottawa bureau chief — who called the ICE bullets fired at Good “well-deserved.”

After an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, social media users shared an image appearing to show Good's car aimed toward and about to hit the officer. But the image is fake. ❌

Image claiming to show Renee Nicole Good's car aimed at ICE officer isn't what it seems
Credible videos of the shooting showed the wheels of Good's car were turned away from the agent when she moved forward and he shot her.

My Canadian medical school class in the early 1980’s admitted 60%women one year. A faculty member told me they were reviewing the admissions program to see what had gone wrong that year.

An index of sexism. As a general rule, the more misogynistic a society, the lower the female labour income share. As you can see, misogyny is everywhere.

Don't fall for the rumor that the 14th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated Biden's "autopen pardon" of Anthony Fauci. It's satire.

Was Fauci's 'autopen pardon' vacated by 14th District Court of Appeals?
The rumor claimed Fauci would face "a multitude of charges, starting with lying to Congress and the FBI."

Did you know that when people are released from prison in the winter, it is often with only the clothes on their backs? They accept donations of coats and boots at the courthouse at 161 Elgin. Just ask for the cellblock to drop them off.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US seizure of Nicolas Maduro - 5 January
This video claims to show Venezuelans toppling and dragging a statue of former president Hugo Chavez.
But the video was filmed during anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 and the statue is Indio Coromoto.
