World’s biggest telescope finds 2,000 asteroids in a week

The world’s largest digital camera telescope has discovered 2,000 new asteroids, including seven potentially hazardous space rocks that will pass close to Earth.

The Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile released the first images from its 3,200 megapixel camera, which produces images so large they are impossible to see in detail with the human eye.

In the first few days of sky scanning, the telescope spotted 2,104 unknown asteroids, including a handful of “near-earth objects” (NEOs) which will pass within 30 million miles of Earth’s orbit.

How Biden’s Border Policies Burned America

Independence Day is approaching! It’s time to start planning our celebrations. We’ll be cranking up the barbecue grills, waving our American flags and anticipating parades and fireworks.

So who do we invite over to celebrate the day with us? We could easily invite a few of our neighbors, close friends and relatives. But how about if we change things up a little? Why don’t we go downtown and invite some people we know nothing about, who don’t speak our language and who very likely mean us harm?

What’s the worst that could happen?

Geoff Russ: Ordinary Canadians shouldn’t have to pay to educate people who hate them

An “Anti-Canada Day” barbeque and fundraiser will be hosted in Montreal on July 1 by the McGill students’ union, a group called the “Palestinian Feminist Collective” and other equally worthy student activist groups.

They form one of many cancerous cells of post-secondary students who spend most of their energy trying to undermine and demoralize everyone around them.

Who Is Funding Iran’s Western Cheerleaders?

In its fight for survival, Israel is not only facing Islamist extremists in the Middle East but also an army of hostile Western NGOs, many funded by European governments. Following the standard pattern for the past 25 years, the network of influential political advocacy NGOs claiming to promote human rights and other moral agendas has launched a propaganda campaign against Israel’s defensive strikes to prevent the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear weapons. Their unified message condemns Israel and calls on governments and the UN to pressure and sanction Israel. With a few notable exceptions, tens of such organizations have produced a chorus of allegations based on invented evidence while massively distorting the language of morality and international law.

Farage inspires rural Canadians to demand independence from Carney

It doesn’t get much more Canadian than an ice hockey watch party at a sports bar in Olds, a small town in the middle of rural Alberta that could not be further from the political elites who run the country from the Far East.

Cam Davies, the leader of the recently renamed Republican Party of Alberta, slaps backs and shakes hands as he signs up new supporters for the cause of independence, even among those keeping one eye on the biggest game of the season.

Nigel Biggar: Is Canada really built on ‘stolen’ land?

The claim is historically and legally inaccurate

“The decision by the (British) to colonise/conquer Australia … was the original sin,” declared the tweet earlier this month. “Britain gaining Australia for Britain was theft. Open and shut.” Its adamant author, a retired Irish civil servant, was responding to a recent podcast in which I discuss colonization with the former deputy prime minister of Australia, John Anderson. What the Irishman said of Down Under, he’d no doubt say of the True North, too.

New Canadian social-media platform Gander: Imagine Rachel Gilmore’s Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever

Tech leaders ready launch of Canadian social-media platform Gander to buck U.S. dominance

A new social-media platform built by Canadians, for Canadians, and operated in Canada, will publicly launch in October with support from some of the most prominent names in the Canadian innovation sector.

Titled Gander Social Inc., the app was created by five Canadian co-founders who grew frustrated with the torrent of trolls, disinformation and divisive content they experienced on other platforms, largely owned by American tech giants.

This will be a “Canadian Awful” equivalent to BlueSky.
