GUNTER: Secrecy over China threats is another form of racism

On Monday, Foreign Affairs Minister Melania Joly announced the expulsion of Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei, the official from China’s Toronto consulate believed to be responsible for threats against a Canadian MP’s relatives in Hong Kong.

The MP, Conservative Michael Chong, is one of Parliament’s most outspoken critics of the Communist regime’s human rights record. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) two years ago told senior members of the Trudeau government that Zhao was allegedly coordinating intimidation tactics against Chong’s relatives in China in an effort to get Chong to clam up.

Lab-grown meat up to 25 times more costly for environment than beef

Processing alternative proteins has a large impact on global warming, study finds

Meat grown in a lab could be 25 times more costly for the environment than beef, a study has found.

‌Cultivated meat is grown using animal cells, eliminating the need for rearing and slaughtering animals.
‌
Its backers, including the Government, say it could also reduce the emissions from meat production, particularly methane from livestock, which accounts for around six per cent of global emissions.

Putin, the ‘Goblin’ and the resistance: life and death in occupied Crimea

It has been nine years since Russia took the peninsula. Now Ukraine is preparing to win it back

In the classroom Crimean children race each other to assemble their assault rifles. A young girl, her brown hair hanging over her eyes, slams a magazine into her weapon and a teacher asks: “Who won?”

Elsewhere in the building, primary school age boys and girls wearing camouflage gear pose with Kalashnikov rifles and show off hand-to-hand combat moves.

The intended message behind the video, published recently by Russian state media, is clear: Crimeans of all ages are getting ready to fight.

I lived in the PATH for two weeks in 2012. It was weird then, but it’s weirder now. Here’s why

I remember packing my best approximation of business casual outfits, but I don’t recall my last breath of the crisp, outdoor air. I didn’t think to savour it.

In October 2012, the Star sent me to live in the PATH for two weeks to see what kind of life I could lead in the underground retail world that supported Toronto’s office towers.

Every morning, the pantsuit army showed up in endless GO train waves, flowing north as a pack, unimpeded through food courts, shops and marble lobbies, up elevators, into drop-ceilinged offices. I learned to walk with the currents. I existed in a corporate haze.

This does not bode well for Toronto, and the article makes no mention of the insane cost of shelter as a barrier preventing recovery to pre-pandemic levels. No People No Path.

Toronto is so screwed … Here’s why Toronto’s bloated race for mayor is bad for democracy

Democracy is a good thing.

But too much of a good thing can be bad news.

Torontonians are waking up to an election campaign overrun by more than 100 candidates running for mayor after Friday’s final deadline for nominations.

The more the merrier? Sadly, this 102-ring circus risks turning a serious race into a bad joke at the ballot box.

Jack Mintz: Public-sector employment growth is badly distorting labour markets

The federal public servant strikes reminded Canadians that public-sector employees have a pretty good deal. On an apples-to apples comparison, their pay is higher on average than in the private sector. Their jobs are secure even in a recession. And they benefit from rich, inflation-indexed pensions. They may also get more vacation and paid-leave days compared to the private sector.

Europe is a car crash ready to happen as China puts its foot on the EV accelerator

When you think of Germany, you think of cars. Germany invented the automobile and its leading car makers – Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche – are exalted global brands, have been for decades. These companies and their suppliers form the backbone of German industry, with more than 800,000 direct jobs and hundreds of thousands of indirect ones.

How many of these jobs will remain in a decade or two? Germany and other European countries where building cars forms an essential part of the industrial and innovation fabric – France, Italy, Slovakia, Czechia – could crash as China, and the United States, to a lesser extent, come to dominate the market for electric vehicles. The European automotive giants, especially the German ones, are lumbering beasts who came late to the EV revolution. At the same time, China has pretty much locked up some of the critical metals, such as cobalt, that no car battery can go without.

Conrad Black: Free hard drugs for addicts a catastrophic Liberal failure

It is hard for us to miss the unpleasant conclusion that in key areas where questions of public health and ethics intersect, this country, whose governments are so full of ostentation in touting their good intentions and putting on the airs of the bioethical pioneer, has got almost everything wrong. Not only that, it is also secretive about its failings and childishly stubborn in clinging to policies that don’t work. Adam Zivo of this newspaper has composed an extensive analysis of the “safer supply” approach to the alleviation of drug addiction, in which, after comprehensive and diligent research for several months he presents a practically unanswerable case for his view that the safer supply approach has catastrophically failed.
