Misleading news headlines: I watched this video on BBC "What triggered the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta?" The answer by the journalist? "We don't know" I find therefore the headline purposely misleading. She didn't answer the question she posed www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

"Trump's new tariffs on Canada could face a court challenge. But this time, he might win." The only people who are winning are Lawyers. When did the courts suddenly replace common sense?
We'd have a better time pushing back against US tariffs if as a nation we could all stay sober for 10 minutes. The savings in healthcare alone would make us one of the richest nations on earth. Drop the love affair with booze. Admit you've been duped. Embrace sobriety.

Call me a party pooper, but this is the wrong place for alcohol distribution. It's city property, leased by the lawn bowling club. It is adjacent to a family area with ice cream, river views and a tea house - not the place for public intoxication #guelph www.guelphtoday.com/local-news/m...
