I think the design of those hats should be improved to deflect those evil mind-control rays better

Blah -
None of these people have been mind-controlled by NATO agents or swayed by Western propaganda and disinformation, so their hats clearly work as intended.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Dutch police find gnome made of MDMA during drug bust
Officers in the southern Netherlands have found a garden gnome weighing nearly 2kg (4lb) and made of the drug MDMA.
"Drugs appear in many shapes and sizes, but every now and then we come across special things," Dongemond Police said in a translated social media post.
The gnome was found among suspected narcotics during a large drug search.
"In itself a strange place to keep your garden gnome," the force said. "That's why we decided to test [it] for narcotics".
"The gnome himself was visibly startled," police said, referring to the gnome having its hands covering its mouth.
It is not known which area the gnome was recovered in, but the Dongemond Police covers the municipalities of Oosterhout, Geertruidenberg, Drimmelen and Altena.
MDMA - which is an illegal substance in the Netherlands - is a synthetic party drug also known as ecstasy.
As of 2019, the Netherlands was among the world's leading producers of MDMA.
It is not the first time someone has attempted to hide the drug in inconspicuous guises.
Last year, a Scottish man was jailed for more than four years for trying to smuggle over £84,000 worth of MDMA that was hidden in cat food into the country.
A Leeds man was also previously charged over a plot to smuggle 90kg (198lb) of the drug into the UK hidden inside pallets of frozen chicken.

Elusive deer spotted wearing high-vis jacket in Canada: ‘Who is responsible?’
In a town of fewer than 1,000 people, it can be hard to keep a secret. And yet no one in McBride, a mountain community in British Columbia, can figure out how a local deer came to be wearing a zipped-up high-visibility jacket – or why the day-glo-clad cervid has been so hard to track down.
The mystery began on Sunday, when Andrea Arnold was driving along the snowy outskirts of McBride on Sunday and witnessed a sight so baffling she slowed her vehicle to a crawl.
“I did more than a double take, to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing,” said Arnold, a reporter for the local newspaper, the Rocky Mountain Goat.
Standing nonchalantly on the roadside was a mule deer clad in a high-visibility work jacket, its legs fitted neatly through the arm holes and the zip firmly closed.

Santa Claus Branded 'Foreign Agent' in Russia

Santa Claus Activity Around The World
By Maya Mehrara News Reporter
Ahead of Christmas, a pro-Kremlin activist has pushed for Santa Claus to be branded as a "foreign agent" in Russia, according to the Russian outlet Meduza.
Vitaly Borodin, the leader of the Federal Project on Security and Combating Corruption, sent a letter to Russia's Prosecutor General imploring the iconic Christmas figure be designated a "foreign agent" due to his "popularity in 'unfriendly' countries," which use his image to "undermine traditional Christmas values," Meduza said, citing the letter.
Borodin is known for filing police reports against purported enemies of the state, including journalists, singers, songwriters, and even a chocolate manufacturer.
Father Frost and the Snow Maiden welcome Russians to the Christmas train in Russia. Vitaly Borodin has called for Santa Claus to be designated as a "foreign agent" ahead of Christmas. Vitaliy Ankov/Associated Press Newsweek reached out to the Russian government for comment via email.
Borodin's concern is not that Santa Claus will overshadow Jesus, but Father Frost, a Russian New Year figure. He is also "outraged by the fact that the American is replacing the image of our traditional Santa Claus, since his recognition is close to 100 percent," according to the Russian outlet Life.
Borodin is not the only one calling for the end of Santa Claus' influence in Russia, as the deputy of the Bryansk regional parliament, Mikhail Ivanov, called for Santa Claus items to be removed from store shelves and replaced with Ded Moroz, also known as Father Frost, and Snegurochka, the daughter of Ded Moroz also known as the Snow Maiden, which are Russian festive cultural figures.
Regarding Santa Claus' growth in terms of popularity, in an interview with the Russian outlet Life, Ivanov said: "Santa Claus has become not so much a symbol of Christmas as a symbol of commerce and mass production. His omnipresence in shop windows is not an accident, but the result of a targeted marketing strategy, from which the true spirit of the holiday is leaving and our values are being destroyed."
He continued: "We need to support domestic manufacturers who create truly high-quality and beautiful holiday attributes that can give a real fairy tale. Let's cleanse the space of foreign symbols together to celebrate the holidays with a real Russian soul. It's time to bring Father Frost back to our homes and hearts! This is the only way we can preserve and pass on to our children the true values and traditions that make our people unique and strong."
Russia has made other efforts to revive the popularity of Russian Christmas figures during the holiday season. In 2022, the Ded Moroz train, known as the Poezd Deda Moroza, which traveled thousands of miles so that children could meet the famed figure, had to be rerouted due to the war with Ukraine.
According to Christmas Tree World's Spirit Index, the countries that believe in Santa Claus the most include Ireland, Australia, the U.K., the U.S., and New Zealand, going by the number of Google searches gpt "Is Santa real?""Comment
