Friday Phenomena - Part 1

On a warm cloudy Friday, here are some things going on:





From the Washington Examiner, oops!






From Canada Free Press, "ba-ba-back off, Joe!"  (Is that anything like "back off, boogaloo"?)

From CBC News, Canadian federal ministers agree to discuss historical claims by the "Six Nations", some of whose members are occupying a housing development near Caledonia, Ontario.  (The "Six Nations" are also known as the Haudenosaunee and the Iroquois.  Their original territory was in the American state of New York.)






From the Express, U.K. Remainers threaten to sue Prime Minister Boris Johnson due to fears of Russia interference in the vote for Brexit.  (As in the U.S., when you don't get the result you want, blame Russia.)









From Dutch News, would anyone like a pear tree to put your partridge in?  (The title says "15,000 excess pear trees", but the article's body says "150,000".  If you read Dutch, read the story at NOS.)















From Romania-Insider, two Romanian veterinarians participate in an animal rescue mission in Beirut.  (Unlike most stories on this site, this one is not behind a paywall.)






From Independent Balkan News Agency, Croatia and Serbia plan to strengthen their economic ties.
