On February 22, 2026, in Tapalpa, Jalisco, U.S.-aided Mexican forces killed 59-year-old Oseguera during an operation; he died shortly after from wounds. The CJNG leader, with a $15 million U.S. bounty, had built one of Mexico's most violent groups through public executions and attacks on troops. His death sparked roadblocks, vehicle burnings, and clashes, closing schools and deploying thousands of soldiers, though tourist areas stayed relatively calm. A viral rumor of his gaming past, including unverified claims of playing Modern Warfare 2 online as 'PZ ElMencho,' added a human twist amid unconfirmed betrayal stories and fears of cartel infighting.

Key Takeaway

In a dramatic raid, Mexican authorities took down Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the elusive 'El Mencho,' leader of the brutal CJNG cartel. His hideout held an unexpected find: a box of Xbox 360 games like Call of Duty and FIFA.

A map shared on March 16 lists 27 countries with over 90% English speakers, including the Netherlands at 90.9%, but Canada falls short at 83.06% due to Quebec, where only 52% of residents speak English per 2021 census data. Provinces like Newfoundland and Labrador reach 100%, yet Quebec's 23% of the population pulls the national average down. The graphic prompted laughs, sarcasm about French in Quebec, and reminders of Canada's official bilingualism, with 98.1% knowing English or French.

Key Takeaway

Canadians blinked twice when a map placed the Netherlands ahead of their own country for nations where over 90% speak English. Quebec's strong French roots explain why Canada misses the list.
