Police chief fired grenade launcher given as gift by Ukraine, Polish media reports

Polish prosecutors are investigating a “violent release of energy” at the national police headquarters amid media reports that the chief of police fired a grenade launcher in his office.

Poland’s interior ministry said on Thursday that Jarosław Szymczyk, the police commander in chief, was injured and taken to hospital when a present he received during a visit to Ukraine exploded at police headquarters in Warsaw.

Polish media reported that the present was a grenade launcher and that Szymczyk himself had accidentally fired it in his office, in what would be a serious breach of safety regulations.

Harry and Meghan’s great miscalculation

Ladies and gentlemen, that’s a wrap. The last leg of Meghan and Harry’s docuseries aired Thursday, where we learned about institutionalized gaslighting, how terrified Harry is of big, bad Prince William and what Beyoncé thinks about the whole saga, obviously.

The final three episodes, admittedly, were the bombshell some hoped for. Harry and Meghan’s usual approach of accusing nameless figures of terrible acts went out the window. Prince William was the villain, King Charles didn’t come off much better. Hell, they even threw in some sly digs at the late Queen. For many Brits, this is a cardinal sin.

Two-thirds don’t know Canada plans to offer assisted death to mentally ill people: poll

New polling data suggests nearly two-thirds of Canadians are unaware of the federal government’s plan to extend medical assistance in dying to people suffering only from mental illness.

On Thursday, the government said it now plans to delay the start of the expanded criteria, previously scheduled to begin in March; the results of a Postmedia-Léger survey suggest that might be a worthwhile move.

What Comes Next for the Most Empty Downtown in America

Tech workers are still at home. The $17 salad place is expanding into the suburbs. So what is left in San Francisco?

The coffee rush. The lunch rush. The columns of headphone-equipped tech workers rushing in and out of train stations. The lanyard-wearing visitors who crowded the sidewalks when a big conference was in town.

There was a time three years ago when a walk through downtown San Francisco was a picture of what it meant for a city to be economically successful. Take the five-minute jaunt from the office building at 140 New Montgomery Street to a line-out-the-door salad shop nearby.

Many of the thousands of demonstrators who lined Lions Gate Bridge last month to oppose Iran’s brutal regime expressed anxiety in the presence of photographers and videographers.

Some Iranian Canadians in Vancouver’s Human Life Chain, who were joining worldwide protests against the death of teenager Mahsa Amini after she was detained by Iran’s morality police, pointed fingers at strangers recording their public defiance.

Lee Harvey Oswald was too crazy for us, KGB official told America

John F Kennedy’s killer was “too crazy” to work with the KGB and the Soviet security agency cut ties with him a year before the assassination, newly declassified documents show.

The National Archives and Records Administration made public some 13,173 documents related to the 1963 assassination on Thursday, which many longtime JFK-watchers hoped would shed more light on what the US government knew about Lee Harvey Oswald.

The secret to success in Canadian business? Befriending a Liberal cabinet minister

This is a message for all the doe-eyed students studying at Western’s Ivey School of Business, or the interns fetching dinner for their bosses on Bay Street after hours: You’re going about things in the wrong way.

Yes, your tenacity is adorable, and many will admire your fidelity to archaic, largely disproven mantras such as “hard work is the key to success” and “opportunities are handed out on merit.” But if you really want to thrive in Canada’s relatively insular business community, there is one surefire path to success: Befriend a Liberal cabinet minister.

Biden’s Pattern of Dereliction at the Border

What will it take to get his administration to reverse its open-borders policy?

It has become a pattern. The federal government won’t protect the southern border of the United States, as is its charge, so the governor of a state affected by illegal migration takes things into his own hands to safeguard his citizens. The federal government, in response, its voice amplified by sycophants in the press and social media, accuses the state of infringing on the federal government’s province and demands that it halt its intervention.

Senate says costs balloon by 70 per cent under Trudeau

‘This has got to stop,’ senator says as Red Chamber costs balloon by 70 per cent

The cost to run the Senate of Canada has soared by roughly 70 per cent in the seven years since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was first elected — an increase some say is unacceptable, given that the number of senators has remained static over the same period.

The Senate’s standing committee on internal economy, budgets and administration (CIBA), the body of senators that governs the upper house, adopted a budget Thursday that will cost Canadian taxpayers $126.7 million in the 2023-24 fiscal year.

In 2015-16, the last year before Trudeau’s reforms to the Red Chamber, Senate expenditures were $74.5 million.
