What started as a rainy, quiet morning turned into a sea of green as thousands gathered on Marshall Street in Waterloo Friday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. The celebrations come after a couple of calmed-down years thanks to COVID-19, and this year, with the pandemic-related restrictions removed, the party was in full swing.
“Honestly, I’ll party in any weather, I don’t care,” one party-goer told CTV News. One student said they didn’t mind the quiet morning, even hoping that the rain wouldn’t let up to allow for the gatherings to take place. “We’ve had some troubles in the past where we’ve took a lot of the brunt for things that happen in the street,” the student said. “Celebrate St. Pat’s in a fun way, but also a safe way.”
Others predicted it was just a matter of time before the party moved on to Marshall Street. “I’m happy, whole community out, everyone celebrating, everyone’s got their borgs, their trusty borgs, we’re all having a good time,” the student said while referencing an alcoholic drink that has drawn criticism for its safety risk. Students say they’re content with how authorities like the police are handling the situation. “They’re actually doing really well. They don’t try to intervene or anything they just try to control it,” one student said.
CTV cameras captured one incident involving a person being handcuffed and placed in a police cruiser. It wasn’t until the early afternoon, when the weather started to dry up, that large gatherings began to form. Around 2:30 p.m., it appeared thousands of people had come to take part in the day as the parties spilled from inside into the streets. By 6 p.m., those in attendance started to break apart. In past years the street party had pretty much subsided by early evening, but this year it had a bit of a later start.
Ezra Avenue, the traditional gathering place, was subdued after officials put up fencing mid-week, blocking off the road as well as Clayfield Avenue and leaving only narrow sidewalk access. “I understand why they’re doing it, cause they don’t want big crowds or people. It is what it is,” a party-goer told CTV News. On Firday around 10 a.m., the City of Waterloo announced an overnight parking ban for both Friday and Saturday night in the MacGregor Albert, Northdale and Uptown neighbourhoods. With large crowds gathering right across the City of Waterloo, residents and commuters felt the impact first-hand on Friday.
The area in which much of the partying took place in Waterloo’s University District is comprised of student housing mixed with long-time residents. Some of those residents told CTV News that the day could be a shock to the system for anyone new to the area due to the loud noise, long traffic lines, and plenty of law enforcement. Waterloo regional police, paramedics and fire crews monitored the Marshall Street area for much of the day. The roadway was closed off to traffic as the crowd drifted onto nearby residential streets. Those crowds delayed traffic on neighbouring roadways and the people who live on them. Local residents also credited the work that police made throughout the day and added that the police presence made a noticeable difference in keeping the peace and keeping everyone safe.
Donald Trump said in a social media post that he expects to be arrested Tuesday as a New York prosecutor is eyeing charges in a case examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president. Trump provided no evidence that suggested he was directly informed of a pending arrest and did not say how he knew of such plans.

TikTok, the popular social media app, is facing the risk of being banned in the United States. The potential ban comes amidst concerns over national security and data privacy. TikTok, which is owned by Chinese tech company ByteDance, has been accused of collecting data from users and potentially sharing that data with the Chinese government. These concerns have led the US government to take action against the app. In August 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would ban TikTok in the United States unless the app was sold to an American company. The executive order cited concerns over the app's data privacy practices and its potential to be used by the Chinese government for espionage. TikTok has denied these allegations and has taken steps to address concerns over data privacy. In response to the executive order, TikTok filed a lawsuit against the US government, arguing that the ban was unconstitutional and violated the company's right to due process. In September 2020, the US Department of Commerce announced a ban on new downloads of TikTok and WeChat, another Chinese-owned app. The ban was set to go into effect on September 20, 2020. However, a federal judge issued a temporary injunction, preventing the ban from going into effect. The US government has continued to pursue action against TikTok, with the Biden administration reviewing the previous administration's executive orders and potential national security concerns. In June 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that revoked and replaced the previous executive orders related to TikTok and WeChat. The new executive order calls for a review of apps with ties to foreign adversaries, including China. Despite TikTok's efforts to address concerns over data privacy and its potential ban, the company is still facing scrutiny and uncertainty in the US market. The US government's review of apps with ties to foreign adversaries is likely to have an impact on TikTok's future in the United States. TikTok has become an important platform for many users, particularly younger generations, who use the app to create and share short-form videos. The potential ban of TikTok in the United States would have a significant impact on these users, as well as on content creators, influencers, and businesses that use the app for marketing purposes. In conclusion, TikTok is facing the risk of being banned in the United States due to concerns over national security and data privacy. Despite efforts to address these concerns, TikTok is still facing scrutiny from the US government. The potential ban of TikTok would have a significant impact on users, content creators, influencers, and businesses that use the app. As the review of apps with ties to foreign adversaries continues, the future of TikTok in the United States remains uncertain.
It’s estimated that half of U.S. presidents’ relatives hailed from the Emerald Isle at some point. The country's Irish roots run deep and have even influenced American politics. St. Patrick’s Day is an important holiday, and presidents have been known to express their Irish pride in various ways.
On St. Patrick’s Day 2021, President Joe Biden met with the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar. The two leaders reaffirmed their partnership before attending a reception to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Biden sported a green tie and a pocket of shamrocks, and Varadkar presented Biden with a bowl of clovers, a gesture that began in 1952.
While Biden is especially known for boasting his Irish roots, he’s far from the only person to hold office to have such ancestry. Barack Obama participated in one of the holiday’s most famous traditions when he drank a pint of Guinness at a bar alongside his Irish cousin at Washington’s Dubliner Restaurant and Pub. His successor, Donald Trump, participated in the shamrocks exchange, but he is not a drinker and didn’t follow Obama in making an appearance at an Irish pub during his presidency.
Jimmy Carter walked down Fifth Avenue in the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1976. And in 1969, Richard Nixon presented a crystal vase etched with a picture of the White House to the Irish ambassador to the United States.
Irish and Irish-American cultures have influenced American presidents throughout history. From wearing green and attending parades, to exchanging shamrocks and drinking Guinness, the connection between the U.S. and Ireland still runs deep. As John F. Kennedy once said, “This is not the land of my birth, but it is the land for which I hold the greatest affection.”

2024 Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has responded to allegations that she was verbally and emotionally abusive toward staff during her White House campaign four years ago.
Speaking with the BBC's Americast podcast on Thursday, Ms Williamson called a Politico Magazine article reporting the accounts of 12 anonymous former staffers a "hit piece" and a "distraction technique".
She also dismissed what one of the interviewees described as her episodes of "foaming, spitting, uncontrollable rage".
"If I can be a bitch at the office at times, I don't think anybody's happy about that," she said, "but I think anybody reading that can measure that against what is normal in politics."
"I'm not running for sainthood here," she continued. "I'm running for president."
The Politico article alleged Ms Williamson threw a phone at an aide, criticised the physical appearance of staff, and repeatedly hit a car door so hard that her hand required medical attention.
In the article, she is quoted as denying ever criticising anyone for their weight and, whilst admitting the car door incident, said she would never physically hurt a person.
During the Americast interview, the popular self-help and spiritual guru who is in her third run for public office, also called the phone allegation "categorically untrue".
But she acknowledged she may have room for personal growth.
"If I've been a tough boss lady, if I have some lessons to learn, which obviously maybe I do, then I hope that I will learn them," she said.
Although the Politico story largely relied on anonymous sources, the magazine included excerpts from a 2019 resignation letter sent by her Iowa state director, Roger Becker, criticising what he called the "belittling, abusive, dehumanizing and unacceptable" way she treated her staff.
In addition, Politico contacted her former New Hampshire state director, ex-Congressman Paul Hodes, who said that Ms Williamson's alleged behaviour was "consistent" with what he had seen and heard while working with her.
"Paul's trying to make his way back into some perch in the Democratic establishment," Ms Williamson told Americast when asked for a response. "It's so obvious to anyone on the inside. God bless, Paul Hodes.
"I hope he finds a way to find peace in his heart and build his career back up in some other way than tearing somebody else's down."
Ms Williamson announced that she would seek the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination two weeks ago.
She is currently the only officially declared candidate, although US President Joe Biden is widely expected to launch his re-election campaign sometime in the coming months.
He holds a massive lead over Ms Williamson in the few Democratic voter preference surveys that have been released.
While Ms Williamson's 2020 campaign focused on what she saw as the need for spiritual healing in the US after the Donald Trump presidency, her 2024 campaign has a sharper, more populist edge.
Like democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, who finished second behind Mr Biden in 2020, Ms Williamson has denounced corporate and political elite that she says profits at the expense of less fortunate Americans.
She supports universal government-run healthcare, free childcare and public education, and at least $1tn (£825bn) in government slavery reparations to black Americans.
Ms Williamson qualified for the first two Democratic presidential debates in 2019.
This year, however, the Democratic National Committee is unlikely to officially sanction any 2024 debates, depriving Ms Williamson of perhaps the highest-profile platform to reach the party's voters.

Guo Wengui was arrested by the F.B.I. at the Sherry-Netherland, the Upper East Side co-op where he paid sixty-eight million dollars in cash for the entire eighteenth floor in 2015. Guo made a singularly strange foray into the ranks of Republican politics, leaving behind a host of intriguing questions about what exactly he has been doing in American politics.
Guo was a smooth-talking middle-school dropout who served time in jail before finding his angles in the real-estate boom of the nineteen-nineties and two-thousands. He fled China in 2014, and he rebranded himself as a critic of the Communist Party, applied for asylum, gained membership at Mar-a-Lago, and secured protection from powerful conservatives who were staking out an emerging hard line against China.
The Washington Free Beacon declared Guo a “leading Chinese dissident,” and Steve Bannon hailed him as the “Donald Trump of Beijing” and the “George Washington of the new China.” They started a media company together; Guo awarded Bannon a million-dollar contract for “strategic consulting services.” Even after Guo and his followers launched attacks on respected Chinese dissidents, he continued to enjoy the company of Trump allies, such as Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn, Peter Navarro, and Jason Miller, who appeared at Guo’s events and in his broadcasts.
The Department of Justice has now given us some answers. In a detailed indictment unsealed Wednesday, federal prosecutors accused Guo and a co-defendant of orchestrating fraud involving more than a billion dollars, in which Guo amassed hundreds of thousands of followers online and solicited their investments in a range of bogus ventures involving cryptocurrency, clubs, and the media.
For all the manifestations of lurid abuses, the outlines of the fraud sketched out by prosecutors have scarcely changed since “The Music Man.” A trial has the potential to unearth a far more interesting tale about Guo’s dealmaking in American politics, intelligence, and law enforcement
The large issue remains what the prosecutors reveal about Guo’s financial and strategic dealings with Trump’s allies. It is anyone’s guess what more will be disclosed when prosecutors put people under oath and subpoena financial records. Most of all, it will be worth seeing what is learned about Guo’s relationships with governments—in both the United States and China.
One of the first things to look for will be signs of whether Guo is cooperating or fighting the case. Guo has defied efforts by creditors and courts to tame him. In one case, a protracted battle over an unpaid loan of two hundred and fifty-four million dollars, a New York judge chastised Guo for having “secreted his assets in a maze of corporate entities and with family members,” and ordered him to pay a hundred and thirty-four million dollars in fines for having moved the Lady May out of state in violation of a court order. Guo, in turn, filed for personal bankruptcy, dragging out the proceedings.
The evidence at trial does not permit the Court to decide whether Guo is, in fact, a dissident, or a double agent. His trial could finally answer that question.

bn Conspiracy Charges bn Conspiracy Charges
Guo Wengui, one of China's most wanted fugitives, was arrested in New York on Wednesday on charges of overseeing a $1 billion conspiracy, local media reported.
The 54-year-old was accused of multiple crimes before he fled China in 2014 and arrived in the United States the following year. He is also the subject of an Interpol Red Notice — an international arrest warrant. The US Justice Department accused Guo along with a co-conspirator and another aide of various crimes, including wire and securities fraud. Guo was charged under the name Ho Wan Kwok. US prosecutors said the indictment stemmed from a complex scheme in which Guo lied to hundreds of thousands of people around the world before misappropriating hundreds of millions of dollars.
At an arraignment in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, Guo pleaded not guilty through his attorney. One of his lawyers did not immediately comment. The top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, US Attorney Damian Williams, said in a statement Guo was charged with "lining his pockets with the money he stole, including buying himself, and his close relatives, a 50,000-square-foot (4,645-square-meter) mansion, a $3.5 million Ferrari and even two $36,000 mattresses, and financing a $37 million luxury yacht".
In New York he developed a close relationship with Steve Bannon, former US President Donald Trump's political strategist. In 2020 Bannon was arrested for defrauding donors while he was aboard Guo's 45-meter yacht anchored off Connecticut.
According to media outlets, Guo was arrested in his luxury apartment near Central Park on Wednesday morning. Prosecutors asked Guo be held because of the risk he could flee and "the danger he poses to the community". They added Guo would face more than 100 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
Guo's co-conspirator Je Kin Ming, 55, had been living in London and was indicted in the case but has not yet been arrested. Yanping Wang, described by media as Guo's top aide, also faces charges including conspiracy, wire fraud and securities fraud.
Since September, the US government has seized approximately $634 million from 21 bank accounts associated with Guo. The Securities and Exchange Commission also brought civil charges against Guo on Wednesday, accusing him of deceiving investors through dishonest online posts and videos, including some that claimed a crypto asset called "H-Coin" was backed by gold reserves. The SEC said Guo's illegal schemes included raising $452 million through an unregistered stock offering that was supposed to go toward building a social media platform.

Former US President Donald Trump has used social media to attack the physical appearance of adult film star Stormy Daniels, as she faced questions from prosecutors investigating hush money paid to her. Trump called her "horseface", an insult he has used for the last five years, while denying he had an affair with her. Daniels received questions on Wednesday regarding a payment of $130,000 from Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen. Lawyers are investigating whether the money constituted an illegal campaign contribution or broke any state laws.
Trump's post on Truth Social also claimed that he hadn't seen or spoken to Daniels in nearly two decades, aside from taking a photo with her on a golf course, complete with golfing attire, including a hat. He went further, stating she knew nothing about him beyond her disreputable lawyer, Michael Avenatti, and Cohen. He called the allegations, including the one of the affair, false acquisitions made by a "SleazeBag" as part of what he has labelled a "Witch Hunt"
Although Avenatti was Daniels' former lawyer, the convict lawyer remains central to the current case. In June 2022, Avenatti received a four-year jail term for cheating Daniels out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in book proceeds. Later in the year, in December, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison, having pleaded guilty to embezzling millions of pounds from four of his clients.
Trump's former personal lawyer, Cohen, also attended the hearing for a final day, as part of his co-operation with the prosecution. Cohen was previously sentenced on charges connected to the hush money paid to Daniels. Since his sentencing, he has been a vocal critic of Trump, although he denies accusations that he is pursuing revenge against his former employer.
Trump and his lawyers have argued that the hush payment was the result of extortion, although Daniels' legal team disputes that claim. On Tuesday, a lawyer for Trump acknowledged that it is possible that Trump will be indicted as part of the ongoing investigation into the payments.
This isn't the first time that Trump and Daniels have engaged in public attacks. In 2018, Daniels rebutted Trump's "horseface" slur with a mocking reference to his genitalia size. She also accused him of displaying "incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self-control."
Daniels has yet to respond to Trump's most recent attack.

Manhattan authorities investigating hush-money payments made on Donald Trump’s behalf have now spoken to the woman at the center of the inquiry: Stormy Daniels herself.
Clark Brewster, her lawyer, tweeted on Wednesday that he and Daniels met with investigators at the request of the district attorney’s office. “Stormy responded to questions and has agreed to make herself available as a witness, or for further inquiry if needed,” he said, suggesting that Daniels has not testified before the grand jury weighing whether to indict the former president.
Prosecutors in Alvin Bragg’s office are currently investigating the extent of Trump’s involvement in a $130,000 payment made to Daniels, an adult-film star, in exchange for her silence about an affair she alleges she had with Trump in the early 2000s. Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, arranged the deal in the waning weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump, who publicly denies the affair ever took place, reimbursed Cohen for the payment and the probe seeks to determine whether business records were falsified in order to hide the payment and whether that was done to cover-up what was essentially a donation to the presidential campaign. It’s possible that Trump could be charged with a felony.
Cohen has personally met with prosecutors several times and testified before a grand jury twice this week. After his final meeting before the panel, Cohen spoke to the media Wednesday, saying he was “relieved” that his role in this matter seems to be over.
“My position is that, at the end of the day, Donald Trump needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds if in fact that’s the way that the facts play out,” he said. “Plain and simple. This is not about him. This is about holding accountability, truth to power and everything in between.”
Joe Tacopina, one of Trump’s lawyers, took aim at the credibility of Cohen, who would likely be a witness in a trial.
“Look, Alvin Bragg once said — I hope he remembers these words — he can’t see a world in which he would base a prosecution of Donald Trump on the word of a convicted perjurer and felon like Michael Cohen,” Tacopina said during a CNN interview. “He is still a convicted perjurer, he’s someone convicted of lying, and it’s not about vengeance. It’s all about vengeance for him.”
When asked about Tacopina’s comments during his own interview on CNN, Cohen hit back.
“I think he’s a fool,” Cohen said.
“Yes, I was convicted. I pled guilty to a 1001 violation,” he said, referencing a federal law, “but I did it at the direction of and for the benefit of Donald Trump.”

The accusations against Guo Wengui are serious and indicate a complex scheme of deception and fraud. If convicted of all charges, Guo faces more than 100 years in prison, making it unlikely he will ever see freedom again. The arrest is also significant in light of his close relationship with Steve Bannon, another controversial figure who has faced his own legal troubles in recent years.

Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, the exiled businessman and vocal critic of Beijing with ties to former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon, was charged with fraud after the US seized $634 million linked to his alleged crimes. Arrested Wednesday at 6:24 a.m. by FBI agents at his luxury apartment in Manhattan’s Sherry-Netherland hotel, Guo was later brought before a judge over the alleged billion-dollar fraud.
But first, in a strange turn of events, a two-alarm fire broke out on the hotel’s 18th floor, where Guo — also known as Miles Kwok — lives. The New York Fire Department is investigating the blaze.
Guo will spend the night in jail, after pleading not guilty and consenting to detention. He will stay there if a judge doesn’t grant his planned application for release on bail.Guo and his financial adviser, Kin Ming Je, were charged with conspiracy, wire and securities fraud and money laundering, detailed in a 38-page indictment unsealed Wednesday. Je is at large, Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement.
Among the spoils the government listed are a $26.5 million mansion in New Jersey for Guo and his family, a $37 million yacht, a $3.5 million Ferrari and a pair of $35,000 mattresses.
The 54-year-old businessman, an associate of Bannon, has long been the subject of legal wrangling. In 2020 Trump fundraiser Elliott Broidy pleaded guilty to illegally lobbying Trump’s White House to seek the extradition of Guo and squelch the investigation of 1MDB, the Malaysian fund at the center of a global bribery scandal. Trump later pardoned Broidy.
Bannon, the chief strategist of Trump’s victorious 2016 presidential campaign, was on board Guo’s yacht in 2020 when he was arrested for fraud in connection with a nonprofit group that took private donations to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. Bannon, whom Trump pardoned on the federal charges, still faces related charges in New York state court and has pleaded not guilty.
The indictment of Guo and Je includes 11 criminal counts against them both and one charge of obstruction against Je, who is also known as William Je. The most serious charges, including fraud and money laundering, carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
At his initial court appearance late Wednesday, Guo was dressed in black and sported a gray beard and round glasses. He wore headphones to hear an interpreter translate the proceedings into Mandarin. Smiling, he wagged a finger playfully at someone in the gallery. He entered his not guilty plea through his lawyer at the hearing, Tamara Giwa.
They also claim he poses a danger to the public if released on bail. Guo “has caused severe economic distress to many, and has threatened those who complained about his criminal acts,” they said in the letter.
Prosecutors seized the $634 million from 21 bank accounts tied to the alleged fraud, which they say Guo and Je committed through a series of securities offerings, Williams said in the statement. A Lamborghini Aventador is among the seized assets.
One of the fake business opportunities the government says Guo and Je touted involved the Himalaya Exchange, a cryptocurrency “ecosystem” that featured the Himalaya Dollar, pitched as a stablecoin. To cover their tracks, they allegedly employed a money-laundering network involving more than 500 accounts held by at least 80 people and entities, according to the US.
Je is a dual citizen of Hong Kong and the UK who lived in London at the time of the alleged crimes. The US claims he ran numerous companies and investment vehicles involved in the scheme and was its financial architect and money launderer.
No wrongdoing is alleged against Bannon, who isn’t mentioned in the indictment.
