Canada’s proposed new submarines will be required to launch and recover underwater drones and patrol covertly for a minimum of 21 days, defence industry representatives have been told.
But the first submarine won’t actually be operating with the Royal Canadian Navy until 2037, noted various Department of National Defence (DND) briefings obtained by the Ottawa Citizen.
There ain’t gonna be no subs.
There was a knife attack at a public viewing event in the supporters’ area in Stuttgart this summer. A Syrian stabbed three football fans with a knife. Research proves it: The perpetrator chose his victims at random and had previously attracted attention for being strictly religious. it was June 26 – the last group game of the European Football Championship (Turkey vs. the Czech Republic) was just before the final whistle. Saleh Al H. stabbed indiscriminately in Stuttgart’s European Championship supporters’ area, injuring three people, some of them seriously. ‘Limit immigration’ was the demand of CDU state leader Manuel Hagel. But the debate about security at the European Football Championships failed to materialise.

In early April, 10 people from the Piapot First Nation showed up at the Arm River Hutterite colony just north of Regina, demanding a meeting with the colony’s farm manager, Paul Hofer.
Hofer says the group was led by Roland Crowe — a thin, feisty 81-year-old man with a shock of white hair and an air of authority.
“If you look somebody in the eyes, you know exactly what he’s up to,” said Hofer. “He was up to no good.”
The suspect accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course wrote a chilling note months earlier declaring he intended to kill the former president, the Justice Department said Monday.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly dropped the note — addressed “To the World” — off in a box at an unnamed person’s home in the months before the foiled assassination attempt at the West Palm Beach golf course on Sept. 15, federal prosecutors said in a court filing.
Ryan Routh failed to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Routh is now offering a $150,000 bounty for whomever kills President Trump.
The DOJ released the letter.
Why would the DOJ publicly release this letter?
I have an idea–they're all in on it.
They all want him dead.… pic.twitter.com/UCmI9PuZMJ

Justin Trudeau is brimming with confidence. Nothing seems to get him down – not byelection losses, not dismal polling numbers, not the end of the supply and confidence agreement with the New Democrats, and not the departures of key ministers and staff.
The Prime Minister insists on leading the Liberal Party into the next election despite the growing sense that his personal brand is the Liberals’ most insurmountable ballot drag. Abacus Data reported earlier this month that 22% of people have positive views of Trudeau compared to a whopping 61% with negative views. As Liberal MP Alexandra Mendes has said when speaking of her constituents’ attitudes toward the Liberal leader: “It’s a very generalized … ‘we’re tired of his face’ kind of thing,” Mendes has also said she’s “not confident” the Liberals can win the next election.
Senate Democrats are worried pollsters are once again undercounting the Trump vote and say Vice President Harris’s slim lead in battleground states, especially Pennsylvania, is cause for serious concern.
After getting shocked by Hillary Clinton’s upset loss in 2016 and surprised by former President Trump’s stronger-than-expected performance in 2020, Democratic lawmakers are bracing themselves for another Election Night surprise.
This is funny

If there’s one thing Justin Trudeau’s government knows how to do, it’s waste tax dollars. Whether it’s $60 million on the glitchy ArriveCan app, $61,000 on pricey hotel rooms during a two-day anti-poverty summit, or $3 million on a gun buyback program that hasn’t bought a single gun, wasting money is what this government does best.
Right now, my expectations of Trudeau are so low that it’s hard to imagine how things could get any worse.
Donald Trump doesn’t know how to stop the war in Ukraine, despite claiming he could end it on his first day as US president, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
In his harshest criticism yet of the Republican presidential nominee, the Ukrainian president also described Trump’s running mate JD Vance as “dangerous” and “too radical”.
“His message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice,” Mr Zelensky said of Mr Vance in an interview with the New Yorker magazine before he flew to the US to present his “Victory Plan” to the White House this week. “But I believe that we have shielded America from total war.”
This will not win Hearts and Minds.
UNIONDALE, NY – The shift of two major New York City suburbs to the political right could be a boon for former President Trump on Election Day, according to insiders on both sides of the aisle.
Traditionally purple, if not leaning blue, Long Island’s Nassau and Suffolk counties went solidly red in the 2022 midterms even though state voter rolls show Democrats outnumber Republicans in both places.
And that may be a bellwether of where things are headed in similar communities around the country.
The federal government’s latest changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program take effect on Thursday.
While the government insists the alterations are designed to reduce Canadian employers’ reliance on the program to fill vacancies, Restaurants Canada is predicting severe consequences.
The agency says there are currently 73,000 openings in the industry, with positions in rural, remote, and tourist regions the hardest to fill.
If restaurants suffer from such razor thin margins why do people keep opening them?
And why should we diminish everyone’s quality of life by importing hordes of cheap labour to support what is obviously a crappy business model.
I have had need to contract a service recently & the sales rep plugged me into a “trusted” providers system.
Having to contact them myself as time was short a heavily accented script reader tried to sell me a service I did not need and this was after lying about having left a message for me.
If your call centre is located in 3rdWorldIstan I hang up.
I found a local provider who actually speaks English.

Germany’s chancellor appears to have narrowly dodged humiliation after exit polls suggested his party has held off the far right in his home state.
Olaf Scholz’s centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) won Sunday’s regional election in stronghold Brandenburg by just one or two percentage points, according to polls by the two main public broadcasters.
Alternative for Germany (AfD) stood a chance of winning the state, which has been governed by the SPD since German reunification in 1990.
Violent crime is surging in some of Canada’s major cities, with sexual assault rates showing the largest increase over the short and long term, according to a new report.
Sexual assault cases climbed in eight of nine major cities over the past seven years, with Ottawa being the exception to the trend, according to a study by the Macdonald Laurier Institute (MLI). The incidence of sexual assault has risen since 2016 in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Peel, Ont., and York, Ont., with the last nearly doubling from 2016 to 2023.
