Rivian said on Wednesday it would cut its workforce by 10 percent – and forecast it would fail to hit delivery targets again in 2024.
It has been hurt by downtime for factory upgrades and slowing demand for electric vehicles due to high interest rates.
Rivian said it expects to produce 57,000 vehicles in 2024, well below estimates of 81,700 units, according to eight analysts polled by Visible Alpha.
The head of the RCMP says the national police force is vulnerable to leaks — a warning that comes as multiple people with ties to the RCMP face charges or have been convicted already.
“If you think that we can ensure that everything in the organization never leaks out, we’re vulnerable to that, we’re aware of it,” Commissioner Mike Duheme said Wednesday.
“We have measures when we recruit people, we have robust measures, but as people progress, sometimes they make different decisions that sometimes come back to harm them, and we address them.”
For the average New Zealand worker, tax season is a simple matter of getting a slip from the government informing you whether you have tax owing, or are due for a refund.
Just like in Canada, New Zealand tax authorities already know what workers are earning and what taxes their employer is deducting. They then cross-reference this with a few personal details that are also in their files (marital status, number of children, etc.) and submit an automatic tax return.
“We’ll automatically calculate your income tax assessment at the end of the tax year if we have all your income information,” reads the official website of New Zealand’s Inland Revenue. Similar systems exist in Australia and the U.K., among others.
New York attorney general Letitia James said she is prepared to seize former president Donald Trump’s business assets if he can’t pay the $355 million fine following the end of his civil-fraud case late last week.
A poll of registered N.Y. voters suggests that a majority of Jews in the state intends to vote for former U.S. president Donald Trump in the presidential election in November.
N.Y. Jews now favor Trump to U.S. President Joe Biden 53% to 44%, according to the Siena College poll, released on Tuesday. Jews in the state said that they intend to continue to back Democrats over Republicans 54% to 39% in congressional elections.
Most Americans recognize that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as a far-left, dark-money behemoth with assets of nearly a quarter-billion dollars. The once-respected FBI is now viewed as being similarly politicized. Overall support for the agency has nose-dived to only 37 percent among the general public and a meager 17 percent among Republicans.
Yet few Americans realize how closely the ADL works with the FBI to advance their leadership’s political interests. This is a dangerous collaboration wherein the increasingly radical group provides ideologically driven guidance to people with the guns.
Right now, the FBI is pointing those guns at the political enemies of the far Left.
“You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave,” Don Henley sang of guests at the Hotel California, that strange establishment on a dark, desert highway, which gave the Eagles their greatest hit.
The same was not apparently true of the yellow legal pads on which Don Henley drafted those lyrics, however. Those left Henley’s home in Malibu in the late 1970s and found their way to New York, eventually ending up in the hands of a memorabilia collector and a curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Now Henley, 76, who wrote the song about the lure and trap of Hollywood, wants them back.
Is cannabis driving a rise in revenge killings?
Ouassila Kessaci, 57, will never forget the agonising wait to confirm the death of her eldest son. On 29 December 2020, 22-year-old Brahim left the apartment saying he would be back — but the next day, Kessaci received a panicked call from Brahim’s wife, who believed Brahim was dead. “It really shocked me,” recalls Kessaci. “She shook me up.”
Over the next four days, Kessaci frantically called the police until they finally identified her son. He’d been murdered, and his body had been burned inside a car just off the main highway north of Marseille. He, along with two of his friends, had been victims of what the French police coldly call a règlement de comptes — literally a “settling of scores” — in the drug trade. Kessaci acknowledges her son was “in with a bad crowd”, but insists he wasn’t the primary target.
For Italians — and for everyone else — there is a warning from history
The village we moved to in central Italy is lovely — old stone houses and olive trees on a hillside — but it is eerily deserted most of the time. A neighbor in his forties says that when he grew up here, it was full of children playing in the cobbled streets. There were about 350 people then, he tells me; now the population is precisely forty-two, and that includes the latest residents, me and my wife. The village is dying on its feet, becoming a perfectly preserved museum piece. My neighbor shakes his head and says how sad it is. There are many villages like this in Italy. First one house is boarded up, then another; the trattoria closes, after that the bakery and other shops, and then people leave all at once because the place isn’t what it was. Some mayors are famously offering newcomers houses for just €1. This makes almost no difference because of something that is happening across the whole country: Italians are not having as many babies as they used to.
Gender rights campaigners have warned that allowing trans women born as men to live in female-only British Army accommodation is a ‘court case waiting to happen’.
Top brass are alleged to have dismissed soldiers’ concerns by insisting: ‘It’s not an issue as you can tell who are predators.’
But there has been a backlash after it was revealed government guidance is giving the go-ahead for soldiers to transfer to female-only barracks as soon as they begin their transition.
Google’s “Gemini” artificial intelligence platform, branded as its “most capable” artificial intelligence, is facing backlash as users say the platform appears to be biased against white people — particularly men — and for producing different results to questions based on race and sex.

In 2016, the Law Society of Ontario published a report, “Challenges Facing Racialized Licensees: Best Practices memorandum,” setting out LSO expectations of members in combatting alleged “systemic racism” in the profession.
Henceforth, every licensee would be required “to adopt and to abide by a statement of principles acknowledging their obligation to promote equality, diversity and inclusion generally, and in their behaviour towards colleagues, employees, clients and the public.” The LSO also demanded demonstration of “a personal valuing” of these principles.
OTTAWA — The Trudeau cabinet has spent more than $1 million on retreats focused on attempting to get a grip on Canada’s affordability crisis.
The Liberal ministers held three multi-day meetings in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Vancouver, and Hamilton, Ont., between September 2022 and August 2023. The tally has reached $1,325,233.84, according to expense disclosures and access-to-information requests.
This wasn’t just graffiti or vandalism – this was death threats.
Hamas lovers don’t even hide their hate or intentions anymore. Things have escalated from pushing for “intifada” and removing Jews from the “river to the sea” to now calling for political assassinations.
Asked about online harms bill, Poilievre raises Trudeau’s past use of blackface
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday his party is vehemently opposed to the government’s forthcoming online harms legislation, a bill designed to combat hate speech, terrorist content and some violent material on the internet.
Saying he won’t accept “Justin Trudeau’s woke authoritarian agenda,” Poilievre said the prime minister and his government shouldn’t be deciding what constitutes “hate speech” online and called the legislation an “attack on freedom of expression.”
