Energy Experts Question Guilbeault’s Visit to China

When Vijay Jayaraj was growing up in India, power blackouts were frequent. He said the blackouts affected everything from schooling to employment—because when there was no power, it was difficult to get much done.

He pointed to the cotton industry of South India, a major employer.

“But all the industries were disrupted whenever there were phases … of continuous blackouts, eventually translating into thousands of lost jobs,” he told The Epoch Times

B.C. prisoners seek extension of jail time to stay housed, avoid overdose

In the space of one week in June, Vancouver criminal defence lawyer Melanie Begalka heard something from three of her clients that bothered her enough to go public.

In this case, “public” was posting a comment on Twitter, the social media platform now known as X.

“I’ve had three clients this week asking to extend their time in custody,” Begalka wrote. “The extreme housing crisis, fear of dangerous drugs on the street and general lack of resources, it’s all real. And a terrible indictment of society when the best people can do is jail.”

Star Poll Finds No One Who Matters Likes Poilievre And He’s Mean & Probably Growing A Hitler Moustache

Is Pierre Poilievre a pit bull or a golden retriever? We asked Canadians what they think of the Conservative leader — and here’s what they said

The results suggest he’s well-liked by those who think they know him well — but more Canadians feel they don’t, and the impressions they have of him at this point signal challenges ahead.

The research comes at what the Conservatives hope will be a turning point in that respect: the launch of a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to better position him as an alternative to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

 

 

Frankly the article is a confused mess. Almost as if they’re hoping you won’t dig too deep or make comparisons with Junior.

Cruise agrees to cut fleet of San Francisco robotaxis in half after crashes

… The development comes just over a week after California regulators allowed Cruise and the Google spinoff Waymo to operate autonomous robotaxis throughout San Francisco at all hours, despite safety worries spurred by recurring problems with unexpected stops and other erratic behavior.

“The DMV is investigating recent concerning incidents involving Cruise vehicles in San Francisco,” the DMV said on Saturday in a statement to the Associated Press. “Cruise has agreed to a 50% reduction and will have no more than 50 driverless vehicles in operation during the day and 150 driverless vehicles in operation at night.”

11 injured at Eritrean event in Edmonton

About a dozen people were hurt at an Eritrean-themed event in Edmonton on Saturday during a clash with a group who said they were protesting the Eritrean government.

Edmonton Police Service monitored the group of protesters all day as they moved across the city in the shadow of the festival, sometimes in riot gear while controlling the crowds. Police read more than once what’s colloquially known as the riot act.

Lambros Kyriakakos, the chairman of the Coalition of Eritrean Canadian Communities and Organizations, said he helped organize the annual Eritrean community festival that draws people from across western Canada.

Why does an ISIS bitch merit a publication ban?

Terrorism Peace Bond hearing continues for B.C. woman formerly linked to ISIS

Kimberly Polman is the focus of a peace bond hearing applied under a rarely used section of the criminal code involving measures to prevent possible terrorist activity.

In 2015, Polman claims she was lured to Syria by her husband, an ISIS member who she met online. In 2019, she was detained for her association with the terrorist group and spent three years in a detention camp in Northern Syria. She was freed in 2022 and returned to Canada.

The peace bond application allows the judge to put certain restrictions on Polman if it’s determined on reasonable grounds she may commit a terrorism offense.

Due to a publication ban, CTV News is not allowed to share details of the evidence and arguments made in court until the hearing is over.

The “rent-a-womb” industry pipelines children born of surrogates in the United States to parents in China, a researcher said. Babies born this way automatically gain U.S. birthright citizenship.

Chinese “rent-a-womb” industry, has been burgeoning in the United States for about a decade, particularly in California, where laws regulating commercial surrogacy and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) are permissive, said Emma Waters, a research associate for the Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation.

Surrogacy, a practice where a woman carries a pregnancy and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple, is completely banned in China
