Buffy Sainte-Marie's awards should be rescinded, says Indigenous advocate
Others nominated for the awards she received are victims, as are her Indigenous fans, says Tim JohnsonTim Johnson feels strongly that “any and all” Juno awards given to Buffy Sainte-Marie intended to recognize Canadian and Indigenous musicians, should be rescinded. He has been a Juno awards judge for the Indigenous arts category. Sainte-Marie’s Power in the Blood won the award, which is intended to recognize Indigenous artists. She learned of her Indigenous ancestry through her mother, who was part Mi’kmaq, she said, and she was adopted by an Indigenous family as a young adult — a family who continues to support her. We still have over 600 Indigenous nations in Canada, with Indigenous populations.

Canadian women utilize new strategy to grab Team Pursuit silver at World Cup in Obihiro
It was our first time trying this new strategy where we don’t exchange, so we weren’t super sure what to expect. We were very nervous to go out and try something new, but we’re very happy with today’s result. We’ve often struggled off the start, myself especially because I’m a little slower, but we nailed that aspect of it today. We’re happy to get this first one done and are looking forward to improving for the next one. The Japanese have a great team, and we have a one-second gap to close on them, so a few weeks of training and perfecting the strategy will hopefully help us push for the top of the podium again.”

Canadian Constitution Foundation
This week’s Freedom Defender—picked by Josh—is Ryan O’Connor, Partner with Zayouna Law Firm. Here’s Josh’s summary:I picked Ryan because Ryan has fought against so many insane COVID-19 restrictions in cases that don’t always get a lot of media attention but that mean a lot to the people involved. Ryan shamed the Ontario government into allowing gyms to open for people with disabilities during the January 2022 lockdown, which was discriminatory at a time when Leafs, Sens and Raptors were allowed to go to gyms. Just this past week, Ryan successfully secured the withdrawal of charges against people facing $6,000 fines for showing up at the border without valid PCR test results during the pandemic. Way to go, Ryan!

Popular Christmas light tradition could be coming to a close
A Facebook post about the termination of the Kings Mountain’s annual Christmas light show stirred up an outcry in the community Wednesday.

The popular light show, which includes a variety of lights set to music, has been a longstanding tradition. “Per the City of Kings Mountain and the head of the Special Events Department, the Kings Mountain Fantasy Light Show will no longer be happening,” the post by Jeff Ward stated. In the meantime, he wanted to reassure Kings Mountain residents he is still dedicated to his position as mayor until he hands over the reins to Wagman.

Shania Twain’s crew bus involved in rollover crash during wintry weather
SASKATCHEWAN, Canada – A quick-moving storm system that dropped frozen precipitation through southern Canada and into the Northeast U.S. could be responsible for the poor weather conditions reported at the time of a bus crash involving Shania Twain’s tour crew. Country singer Shania Twain was not reported to be on the bus at the time of the crash. "One crew bus and one truck from the Shania Twain - ‘Queen Of Me’ tour were involved in a highway accident driving between Winnipeg and Saskatoon," Twain’s rep stated. The storm system did not produce historically high amounts of snow or ice, but it was many drivers' first encounter with treacherous wintry conditions this season. The RCMP said the exact circumstances surrounding Twain’s crew bus crash were still under investigation.

How big does pro-Palestine rally need to be for honest reporting?
This was the largest antiwar or international solidarity mobilization in Montréal since the 2003 protests against the invasion of Iraq. The largest Palestine solidarity demonstration in Canadian history concluded in front of CBC’s office to highlight pro-Israel media bias. At the end of the march, I was asked to speak outside the CBC/Radio-Canada offices as part of protesting Canadian media coverage of the 10,000 Palestinians killed in recent weeks. CBC English has mandated its reporters not to use the word “Palestine.” In 2019, they even forced a radio host to apologize for using the word Palestine when interviewing an author who published a graphic novel titled Palestine! As thousands chanted in front of CBC “every time the media lies another family in Gaza dies.”Did you like this article?

Cougars defeat York Lions in U SPORTS Nationals quarter-final match
CAPE BRETON, NS - The Cougars continue to build their historical legacy after beating the York Lions 1-0 in the 2023 U SPORTS Nationals quarter-final match hosted at Cape Breton University in Sydney, NS, Thursday evening.Although the match was incredibly intense and physical from the first whistle to the final, the majority of the game remained scoreless. With two yellow cards and 15 fouls called on each team, it was clear neither opponent was going to go down without a fight. It could have gone either way; I thought York played amazing and was very well coached; it was a great game of football. I'm so proud of the boys and I'm so excited to move on to the semi-final match tomorrow. Not only is the men's soccer team the first Cougars team to win gold in the Canada West Championship, but they are also the first MRU team to enter into the U SPORTS Nationals in the No.

Wife spending too much time at work
My wife spends many hours at work, even when the business is closed. I don't ask my wife to contribute much; she spends most of her money on clothes, hair and shoes. Sometimes my wife goes to work even on Saturdays. So, your wife should listen to good advice and cherish your relationship more than the money she is earning. I believe that you trust your wife, but you want a wife who is committed to the relationship.
