Bears versus robot wolves in ageing Japan
With gleaming red eyes, bone-chilling howls and bared fangs, animals scatter for cover at the sight of this beast.
But this is no ordinary wolf – or even a real one.
Originally designed to keep wild animals away from farms, authorities now use this mechanical wolf to stop bears from entering urban areas and attacking people.
GOLDSTEIN: Carbon taxes are money for nothing – here’s why
As Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer has reported, average Canadian households are already paying hundreds of dollars more in carbon taxes every year than they receive in rebates.
Yves Giroux says those costs – the result of the negative impact of carbon pricing on the economy – will rise every year as the carbon tax increases from $65 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions this year to $170 per tonne in 2030.
CBS Hypes Christian Activists Spreading The ‘Gospel’ Of Fossil Fuel Abolition
CBS Saturday Morning correspondent Adam Yamaguchi took the idea that climate activism is a religion literally when he hyped activist and 2021 college graduate Elsa Barron’s efforts to “help spread the gospel” to the unconverted Evangelicals who are not onboard with the abolition of fossil fuels.
Why CSIS officials secretly met Nijjar a day before his killing – Canadian intelligence agency responds
In light of the recent killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the already strained diplomatic relations between India and Canada – two countries historically connected through trade and culture – have deteriorated further. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week accused Indian government agents of a role in Nijjar’s murder, a charge New Delhi categorically denied.
Terming Trudeau’s allegations “absurd and politically motivated”, India suspended a Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat action and suspended visa services for Canadian citizens. The Indian government also asked Trudeau to provide evidence to back his claim but received none, so far.
Criminal-Friendly Seattle Is So Bad This Guy’s Shocked When a Judge Won’t Let Him Go
Seattle’s so woke that the criminals think they run the justice system now, and we can prove it.
There was a delicious bit of schadenfreude in court on Thursday listening to an accused bad guy ask plaintively of a judge (paraphrasing here) “Wait, why can’t I get the easy-on-criminals treatment that every other bad guy has gotten?”
Feds must release ‘secret’ record on Nazis in Canada: ‘We cannot move forward’
The apology by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a tribute by Parliament to a man who had fought in a Nazi unit is an important healing step — but more needs to be done, Jewish groups say. Namely, declassifying more of the “secret” information contained in the Deschenes Report.
These reports were completed after the Second World War and contain information on Nazis who came to Canada after the conflict ended. However, the names are all redacted, as is any information on how those individuals were allowed to come.
Navy personnel told to introduce themselves with pronouns in trans guidance
Royal Navy personnel are being told to introduce themselves with their pronouns before meetings in official guidance seen by The Telegraph.
A guide on trans and non-binary awareness tells staff: “Introducing yourself with your pronouns at the start of meetings and interactions is a good way to be inclusive.”
The guidance, available on the Royal Navy intranet, says: “Some people do not associate with gender binary and may use different pronouns like they/them or neo-pronouns like ze/hir/hirs. You should use the pronoun that a person shares with you.”

Espionage trial of top RCMP agent to test Canada’s competence in handling spy cases
OTTAWA – When Cameron Jay Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence director general accused of leaking top-secret information, steps into an Ottawa courtroom on Tuesday he won’t be the only one on trial.
It stands to be the first time in this country’s history that a Canadian is tried for alleged breaches of classified information under the current version of the Security of Information Act. To many observers of the intelligence community, it is a test of whether Canada in fact has the ability to prosecute espionage cases.
I was jailed by Ukraine for ‘collaborating with Russia’ for keeping my town’s lights on
Civilians who did essential jobs in Russian-occupied areas were arrested after liberation. They say they have been branded ‘enemies of the people’
When Russian tanks rolled into the rubble of his home town, Dmytro Herasymenko faced a dilemma.
Months of fighting had left Lyman without electricity. He could return to his job at the power grid to repair the lines and risk being viewed as a collaborator, or he could refuse and face the consequences.
The choice he made, and what happened to him as a result, has opened up a painful public debate in Ukraine that is set to grow in significance as the country strives to liberate more occupied territory in the coming weeks.
Ontario’s minimum wage rises by nearly 7 per cent
Nearly a million minimum wage earners in Ontario got a pay bump today.
On Oct. 1, Ontario’s minimum wage, the lowest wage employers are permitted to pay their workers per hour, rose from $15.50 to $16.55, a 6.8 per cent increase.
For a person earning the general minimum wage and working 40 hours a week, that equates to an annual raise of about $2,200.
$16.55 per hour equals about $2,868.00 a month gross, unless my math is way wrong, (not unpossible.)
Average 1-bedroom in Toronto climbs over $2,600 with Canadian rent at all-time high
Hundreds of tenants at 2 North York buildings to join rent strike
“Canada post is saying bed bug infestation in your building and they are not going to deliver mail but for the landlord it’s OK for people to live in these conditions,” said Bruno Dobrusin, an organizer with the York South-Weston Tenant Union.
Ukraine Downplays Uncertainty Over U.S. Support After Congress Passes Funding Bill With No Aid
Ukraine’s government said Sunday it was confident in the strength of U.S. support for its war against Russia, downplaying any uncertainty after the House passed a stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown that did not include money for Ukraine.
The White House and leaders of both parties in the Senate had pushed for Ukraine funding to be included in the bill, which passed late Saturday. Members of both parties said they were confident that further financial commitments would be agreed, but the failure to provide any money for Ukraine on Saturday highlighted the decreasing willingness of some Republicans to fund Kyiv’s war effort.
William Watson: We need a little perspective on Nazi-gate
The search for adult life in Ottawa continues. One reaction to the embarrassing parliamentary standing ovation for an old man who may not actually have been a Nazi but who did fight on the Nazi side in World War II was to try to expunge it from history, as a minister of the crown actually proposed, apparently seriously.
Germany: Kollege Of Koran Knowledge Graduates First Imams
