Is He The Big Turk? Fourth man charged after 44 people found in truck by U.S. border
The RCMP say a fourth person has been charged in an alleged human smuggling operation after 44 people were found in “horrific” conditions inside a cube truck earlier this month in Quebec near the United States border.
Tolga Yilmaz, 34, was arrested at Montreal Trudeau International Airport on Aug. 8, allegedly on his way out of the country. The RCMP announced the arrest Tuesday in a media release.
Ogulcan Mersin, 25, and Dogan Alakus and Firat Yuksek, both 31, were charged on Aug. 4.
Pedophiles Are Buying Children. Does Surrogacy Deserve More Scrutiny?
In any other context, the buying and selling of children would be rightly reviled. Yet when it comes to commercial surrogacy, many turn a blind eye.
To be clear, babies are certainly worth celebrating — especially in an increasingly selfish society that depicts parenthood as a form of punishment. But not all methods of conception are created equal.
Federal prison staff now outnumber inmates as costs reach record high
Canada’s federal prison system now employs more staff than it houses inmates, according to newly released Correctional Service figures, raising fresh concerns about the soaring cost of the country’s penal system.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Correctional Service Canada (CSC) reported having more than 20,000 employees, compared to 14,837 inmates held across 43 federal penitentiaries. Another 8,717 individuals are currently on parole in the community. The system operates with a $3.9 billion annual budget.

Inside Silicon Valley’s Growing Obsession With Having Smarter Babies
BERKELEY, Calif.—Tsvi Benson-Tilsen, a mathematician, spent seven years researching how to keep an advanced form of artificial intelligence from destroying humanity before he concluded that stopping it wasn’t possible—at least anytime soon.
Now, he’s turned his considerable brainpower to promoting cutting-edge technology to create smarter humans who will be up to the task of saving us all.
“My intuition is it’s one of our best hopes,” said Benson-Tilsen, co-founder of the Berkeley Genomics Project, a nonprofit supporting the new field.
This isn’t science fiction. It is Silicon Valley, where interest in breeding smarter babies is peaking.
Mocked for using the wrong spoon: working-class life at top universities
Dan was days into university when, at a freshers week event, his fellow students gathered in a circle to take turns stating how much their school cost per term.
The biological sciences student, 26, whose name has been changed, says that as a state school student at Durham University he quickly felt “alienated”.
Dan, who is from Cheshire, also claims another student imitated his friend’s Scouse accent.
Dan should be kicked out of the working class for being a weenie.

Toronto film fest nixes Oct 7 doc screening, cites Hamas ownership of massacre clips
The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced this week that it had canceled its invitation to screen a documentary about the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, due to ostensible copyright concerns stemming from the fact that the filmmakers did not receive permission from the Hamas terrorists whose clips are featured in the film.
Qualification for tax payer subsidies in the arts must require that you hold far left extremist views. Just like joining the Nazi Party was a means to career advancement.

Tory police chief faces backlash over telling public to stop shoplifters
A policing chief is facing criticism over his “dangerous” comments telling the public to stop shoplifters and not just rely on police officers to curb thefts.
Matthew Barber, the Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, branded people who do not do anything in the face of shoplifting as “part of the problem”.
How much can you steal before you go to jail?
Thanks to the Conservatives, shoplifting is now effectively legal up to £200. pic.twitter.com/kU95HdUKJA

Carney’s $26B bet on prefab housing could be a gamechanger — but will everyone play along?
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s vow to double Canadian housing construction to 500,000 units a year would seem to be an ambitious enough goal.
But Carney’s housing plan is also an industrial strategy meant to kick-start a nascent factory-built housing industry and rejuvenate Canada’s ailing forest products sector.
With his $26 billion Build Canada Homes (BCH) agency, which goes into operation this fall, Ottawa hopes to increase production of innovative housing types including prefabricated, modular, panelized and mass timber housing.
