THAT DEAD EYED LOOK

An international manhunt for one of Canada’s most wanted men – suspected of a bodybuilder’s murder – has ended at a four-storey block of flats in Luton.

Adrian Gordon, 24, went on the run after the murder in May, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police warning the public he was ‘armed, violent and dangerous’.

He was suspected of first degree murder in regard to killing champion bodybuilder Jesse Tubbs, 30, who was found shot in a drugs hotspot.

Violent offenders let off if they say sorry

Police are increasingly letting knife and sex offenders escape prosecution if they say sorry, The Telegraph can reveal.

More than 147,000 people accused of offences including sex crimes, violence and weapons possession were handed community resolutions in the year to March, instead of being prosecuted. Such resolutions do not result in a criminal record.

Police guidance says community resolutions should be restricted to low-level crimes, with offenders required to apologise to the victim, accept “responsibility” for their crime and offer some form of recompense.

Toronto man stupidly rents EV without much thought about where to charge it but CBC says your money can solve his problems

Toronto EV driver can’t use closest overnight charging station because of permit restrictions

A Toronto-based Uber driver spends nearly half an hour most days walking back and forth between an on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging station and his home.

John Chen says he could cut that walk down to eight minutes each way if the city allowed him to use a closer charging station in his neighbouring permit parking zone.

He can’t charge his EV at home because he doesn’t have a designated parking spot and relies on street parking.

Despite living on the edge of his own parking zone near Coxwell Avenue and Dundas Street, Chen says the city told him he can’t get a permit for the other zone to use the closer charger overnight.

France has arrested ‘Russia’s military comms chief’

The surprise detention of the Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France has raised concern in Russia about a potential impact on its troops in Ukraine, who have come to rely on the encrypted messaging app for communications on the front line.

Two days after the detention of the Russian tech billionaire Russian war bloggers, who are typically quite open about problems in the Russian army, have immediately rung the alarm about Durov’s incarceration. France has arrested “the comms chief of the Russian armed forces”, one popular joke online went.

It’s Jaw-Dropping How Much Sex Ed Has Changed In 50 Years

Sex education was simpler when I was a girl. There were only two sexes back then, and the word gender had not yet leaped from the declension of nouns to an identity.

Sr. Edmund Marie, the biology teacher in the girls’ department of our parish high school, visited the grammar school every year. She spent a day talking to us about plant biology and brought a black portfolio of oversized botanical posters. One was a standard line drawing for classroom use, the rudimentary kind that appears in countless textbooks.

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s brother ‘heartbroken’ over Trump endorsement

Max Kennedy, the brother of Robert F Kennedy Jr, has implored the public to ignore his sibling’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential election and endorse Donald Trump’s campaign to return to the White House.

In an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times, Max Kennedy said “Trump was exactly the kind of arrogant, entitled bully” that his father, former US senator and attorney general Robert F Kennedy, stood against before he was assassinated in 1968 as he pursued the Democratic presidential nomination.

Max Kennedy predicted his father would have admired the Democratic nominee for November’s election, Vice-President Kamala Harris, because she was a former prosecutor as well.

It’s past time for all of us to heed Jack Layton and head to the Velvet Touch

Velvet Touch Refugee

Pierre Poilievre’s overheated insults. Canadians of all stripes being nasty to each other online. It’s past time for all of us to heed Jack Layton

Thirteen years ago this week, former NDP leader Jack Layton took his final breath on earth. Before leaving, he drafted a letter to Canadians with words we should revisit as we enter the end stage of this federal Parliament.

For those who don’t remember, Layton closed his letter with an appeal: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic.”
