This may be the world’s largest ever gathering of Satanists – and it’s about to begin at a Marriott hotel in downtown Boston.
In a candle-lit room set aside for Satanic ceremonies, a neon sign welcomes you to The Little Black Chapel. A raised altar stands at one end, a white pentagram on the floor in front of it.
The ritual being performed here is an “unbaptism”, in which participants symbolically reject religious rites performed when they were children.
Thirteen Montrealers say they’ve been targeted by a campaign of harassment launched by the Cuban government to keep them from protesting against one-party rule on the island.
A social media account which — according to a Cuban defector — is being run by Cuba’s state security has been spreading detailed allegations against the 13 men accusing them of trafficking cocaine from Colombia to Canada.
Carlos Andrades said he’s one of them. On March 21, he arrived in his native Havana for a visit with his 95-year-old mother. Travelling with him were his Canadian-born daughters and grandson.
German police have opened an investigation into the possible poisoning of two Russians living in exile, officials said on Sunday.
Russian investigative media outlet Agentstvo reported that two Russian dissidents who attended a meeting in Berlin on April 29 and 30 described feeling ill. The meeting was organized by Kremlin critic and exiled oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
OTTAWA — It was perhaps inevitable that, moments into Thursday’s Alberta leaders’ debate, federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh would be dragged into the fast-paced sparring match.
For one thing, it’s a common trope in the United Conservative Party when attacking the Alberta NDP to suggest that Singh pulls leader Rachel Notley’s strings.
For another, Notley hasn’t been shy about distancing herself from the NDP’s leader in Ottawa, particularly on his stances on climate and energy policy.
Somehow I’m just not buying this.
At a congressional hearing this week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman delivered a stark reminder of the dangers of the technology his company has helped push out to the public.
He warned of potential disinformation campaigns and manipulation that could be caused by technologies like the company’s ChatGPT chatbot, and called for regulation.
AI could “cause significant harm to the world,” he said.
The Post’s national treasure, Tristin Hopper, filed a story earlier this week on a new Research Co. poll about Canadians’ attitudes toward legalized assisted suicide, an industry in which we are now in the vanguard of the world. Hopper’s piece emphasized surprisingly high levels of support for providing medical assistance with suicide to people whose problems might be described as primarily social.

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government claims “it’s not just about the money.” But it is.
Money doesn’t just talk. It turns out that it builds car plants on Canadian soil, but only if there’s enough of it.
That’s the takeaway from the ongoing dispute that exploded between a multinational joint venture seeking more taxpayer support for an EV battery plant in Windsor, and the federal and provincial politicians vying to keep it here.
Why America’s EV chargers keep breaking
Imagine living in a world where the gas station has trouble providing gasoline.
Every few times a driver fills up, something goes haywire — the gas doesn’t flow, or it flows fast for a while and then slows to a trickle. Other times, the credit card payment is mysteriously rejected or the screen is blank.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began over a year ago, officials in Kyiv have been asking their Western allies to supply the country’s air force with advanced warplanes such as the F-16. But the United States, which manufactures the fighter jet, was long reluctant to provide it, or to allow other countries that have F-16s to re-export them to Ukraine.

For many progressives, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is an article of faith, a touchstone of modern Canada. For many conservatives, the CBC is an object of scorn, an elitist bastion that should be defunded.
And so an ideologically driven debate about the future of the public broadcaster spins around and around, immobilized between piety and outrage. In the meantime, the CBC itself is engaged in mission creep, with a dramatic increase in government funding under the Trudeau Liberals allowing it to increasingly crowd out private competitors
The House Oversight Committee is currently discussing potential witnesses connected to Hunter Biden’s corrupt international affairs.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) now believes that the House should call up Hunter’s alleged foreign prostitutes to see if they present a national security issue.

Every time Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux points out there are costs to Canadians because of the Trudeau government’s climate action plan, Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, among other Liberals, blows a gasket.
Ex-Marine Daniel Penny insisted to The Post Saturday that the chokehold killing of Jordan Neely had nothing to do with race — and everything to do with a broken system “that so desperately failed us.”
In his first public comments since the caught-on-video May 1 tragedy on an F train, Penny was both soft-spoken and stoic about being at the center of a political and racial firestorm, as he faces criminal charges that could send him to prison for up to 15 years.
The date for the vote in Alberta approaches. From what I hear, it is a real contest, with no overwhelming signals that either NDP Leader Rachel Notley or UCP Leader Danielle Smith are poised for anything like a landslide.
Which I find strange. However, being an outsider, and having long been familiar with the rule that one cannot judge or make even a good guess on an election in a province other than your own, my impressions have little grounding.
Six people were arrested after protests broke out at the Nebraska State Capitol building when lawmakers passed a bill that banned abortions after 12 weeks.
Those opposing the controversial ‘Let Them Grow Act’ interrupted the debate on Friday to shout and throw what appeared to be bloody tampons onto the floor.
Authorities confirmed that a state trooper was assaulted during the incident after a woman punched him in the chest when he prevented her from pushing past him.
