The plane truth about a dangerous president

U.S. President Donald Trump has crossed firmly into cutting-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face territory.

Earlier this week, the president who seems to set policy by spontaneous social-media eruption announced his plans to halt the sales of Bombardier aircraft in the United States, spouting his usual complaints about Canadians and Canadian producers not playing fair.

As usual, the complaint seems to be rooted in the now-usual process: someone close to the emperor whispered in his ear that Canada had treated a Bombardier competitor — Gulfstream — badly, so Trump responded with a pronouncement of broadly agreed doubtful legality. Presidents don’t actually have the power to single out individual companies and ban them from doing business.

Nevertheless, the threat alarmed Bombardier executives, customers, employees and government officials.

Rocky Horror star prepared for a rude reception in all the best ways

While it enjoys the longest theatrical release of any movie in history, The Rocky Horror Picture Show was all but ignored by critics when its revolutionary brand of camp first hit silver screens in 1975.

And before it whipped up a cult following, Rocky was a fringe theatre hit in London whose first run’s final night — which had attracted such luminaries as Mick and Bianca Jagger — was derailed by an unlikely culprit: glitter. According to the late Tim Curry (who died at 80 in August), the shiny stuff ended up where the sun don’t shine.

“Well, Rocky got some glitter down his trunks and it set up an irritation. When we arrived at the theatre, he was standing in the shower and the show couldn’t go on,” he told the press in 1974, after crossing the Atlantic to lead the show’s American theatre debut.

Glitter is one of the things audiences may not throw at the stage at The Rocky Horror Picture Show screening tonight at the Centennial Concert Hall. Unlike in the anarchic midnight screenings at the New York’s Waverly Theater beginning in 1976, where audiences chucked everything but the kitchen sink, a prop bag will be courteously supplied at the door.

Shiffrin's wins, China's debut set to star in ski season

ZURICH - While Mikaela Shiffrin is the expected superstar of a new Alpine ski season, China's debut race can be the surprise success.

The World Cup record book is at Shiffrin's mercy before the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics based on the pace of her 17 wins last season.

Skiing looks to the American star in a season without a major championship, and after three of its four biggest names retired.

There's no Lindsey Vonn, no Marcel Hirscher, no Aksel Lund Svindal — all Olympic and overall World Cup champions.

RCMP won't investigate Bonify over illegal weed sales

Bonify, the Winnipeg cannabis producer caught selling illegal marijuana in the legal market, isn't being investigated by the RCMP, but the company's problems are far from over.

An executive terminated in the wake of the scandal is suing Bonify and its acting CEO, and Bonify's federal licence to sell cannabis remains suspended.

In a statement, the Manitoba RCMP said its "review of information has been concluded and the RCMP will not be investigating." The force's findings about Bonify have been shared with the Manitoba government, the statement added.

A spokesperson for Manitoba Justice Minister Cliff Cullen confirmed that Manitoba Justice has received information about Bonify from the RCMP after requesting the review.
