Police say a task force investigating a multimillion-dollar gold heist at Pearson airport last year has arrested multiple people, laid 19 related charges and interrupted a "large quantity of firearms" intended for import into Canada in connection with the case. Peel Regional Police announced the results of their year-long probe into the daring theft at a Wednesday morning news conference alongside a representative from the the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau. One of the men arrested, a 54-year-old man from Brampton, is an Air Canada employee. An arrest warrant has also been issued for another man who was also...

Cities are playing a lead role in cutting greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Paris Agreement’s science-based, internationally accepted target of limiting global heating to 1.5°C. Every city wanting to take effective action to mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects needs a climate action plan (CAP) – an evidence-based roadmap for delivering its fair share of emissions cuts and strengthening its resilience. That’s why the development and implementation of a Paris Agreement-aligned CAP is a requirement for every C40 city. C40 is a global network of nearly 100 mayors of cities at the forefront of climate leadership, and...

IM motors has decided that semi solid-state batteries are ready for prime time. In an omen of what Western automakers will need to contend with, it's now launched a futuristic luxury coupe with a next-gen battery pack and crab-walking capability. The high-density lithium batteries we enjoy today were an absolute technological revolution. They blew rechargeable nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal-hydride batteries out of the water, offering such a leap in energy storage by weight and volume that suddenly all sorts of things became possible.

The world’s tallest prison standing at 300-foot is being built in Chinatown, New York City, sending residents into an uproar. The 40-floor tower which will house 1,000 prisoners will be located on the grounds of the former Manhattan Detention Complex. Known to locals as The Tombs, the old prison will be demolished in order to make way for the “jail scraper”. The destruction of the detention complex has caused major disruption for nearby residents, with heavy dust and loud noise creating chaos.

One of the more common memes that I’ve seen white supremacists spread around recently has been “diversity is a code word for white genocide”. The concept here is that diversity is only promoted in white nations, and that the end goal is to eliminate white people altogether by flooding all white countries with non-white people until there are no white people left. Well, guess what, white supremacists? That’s exactly right. Diversity IS about getting rid of white people, and that’s a good thing.

It may not be to everyone's taste, but kombucha tea may be able to deliver the benefits of fasting, without the hardest part – the fasting itself. Researchers found that when the yeasts and bacteria from the fermented, sweetened tea colonized the gut, they altered fat metabolism, without any other dietary changes, resulting in lower fat stores. At the center of these findings is the flora found in kombucha tea's SCOBY (Symbiotic Cultures of Bacteria and Yeasts), the gelatinous starter, rich in microbes, found floating near the surface of the fermented liquid. The probiotic microbes, including species of Acetobacter, Lactobacillus...

President Joe Biden’s administration dropped its plan to buy oil to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) due to rising oil prices. The oil would have gone to Louisiana’s Bayou Choctaw SPR site in August and September. The administration canceled the purchase despite depleting the emergency supply by 43%, the lowest since the 1980s.

China, known as ground zero for the Covid pandemic, may be fueling a global rise in a new infectious disease: super gonorrhea. Up to 98 percent of bacteria samples taken from patients with the STD across 13 Chinese provinces had the ability to sidestep frontline antibiotics, according to a new CDC report. Gonorrhea had been effectively evading medications for years, but the chief worry among researchers is that China is reporting rates of a strain resistant to one of the last remaining effective antibiotics 40 times higher than those in the US, UK, and Canada. In 2022, researchers affiliated with...

Greece would “of course” be interested in purchasing Canada’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) if the resource could be made available to the Mediterranean country, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis says. Mitsotakis sat down with CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in Montreal for an exclusive interview airing Sunday, during the prime minister’s visit to Canada over the weekend. Canada has eight LNG projects “in various stages of development,” according to Natural Resources Canada. The first export facility is slated to begin operations next year with shipments destined for some Asian countries. But whether Canada can and should plan to also...

Private property isn't so private anymore. When normal Americans weren't looking, squatters became cult heroes. The left has been cultivating squatters' rights for years. Woke cities are giving them legal backup by consolidating COVID-19-era no-eviction rules into free housing for months or years. People seeking their piece of the American Dream are now the stars of the left's dystopian horror show. The property takeovers are all over the country in the nation's woke cities. The stories are legion. "The homeowner wouldn't talk with us on camera for fear of retaliation from those living on the property. When he asked them...

He doesn't specify that he wants white men to self-deport, but, come on, they're the people getting screwed by DEI, so they're the ones most likely to oppose it. And his response is just to make conditions at the company unlivable for them so that they'll leave, supposedly of their own accord, thus sparing the company the need to fire them and the hazard of racial discrimination lawsuits. Warner Bros. Discovery's Chief Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer Asif Sadiq recently shared his tact on how to get rid of opponents of DEI from major corporations. As reported by News...

While Pontius Pilate's wife, Claudia, has been glorified as a saint, what happened to Pontius Pilate himself? There are three writers from the Early Church who say he became a Christian. There is a similar tradition in Ethiopia, and sometimes there one can find icons of Pontius Pilate, together with his wife Claudia. The fate of Pontius Pilate after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is disputed among historians. According to some, Pilate killed himself while in exile to Gallia. Others suggest that he was executed during the reign of Emperor Nero. According to legend, the bad omens accompanying...

Think of this story as you watch the State of the Union address. President Biden has given his ok for the U.S. military to build a port on the Gaza coast to bring relief to the population there. This is how desperate Joe Biden is to win the state of Michigan in November. The Uncommitted movement has taken him by surprise and a victory in Michigan is not certain for Biden. It is hard for Biden to win in November without winning Michigan.

In the collective memory of American Jewry, the entanglement of Jews and Communists merits hardly a footnote. —Jerry Z. Muller, Capitalism and the Jews, p. 161 For paid subscribers, Jerry and I will be talking about this topic on Zoom on Monday evening, February 26, at 8 PM New York time. I’ll send out a reminder with a link closer to the date. In my own memory as an American Jew, the entanglement of Jews and Communists has more significance. The Harvard Library houses a document “Investigation of Communist Activities in the St. Louis, Mo. area. Hearing” This was a...

When it comes to protecting crops via insect-blocking netting, you may think that the size of the holes in that netting is the most important factor. According to new research, however, the color of red netting makes an even bigger difference in effectiveness. Ordinarily, agricultural netting is either black or white, or sometimes blue or green. Although red netting generally isn't used, a 2015 study showed that when crops were irradiated with red light, pest insects known as onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) tended to stay away from the plants. With that finding in mind, Prof. Masami Shimoda and colleagues at...

Boston TV stations are airing “exclusives” this Valentine’s Week about area residents taking illegal aliens — refugees in wokespeak — into their homes. The Boston CBS affiliate’s exclusive — from Brookline — began: With state shelters at capacity and images of migrant families sleeping at Logan Airport, the Stokes family said they knew they had the means and wanted to step up. “The family is lovely. They are so appreciative. It has been wonderful,” said Jessica Stokes. When Colin and Jessica Stokes called the state to sign up to be a host family, it took less than an hour for...
