2 “Canadians” arrested for drug trafficking; $40 million of cocaine seized from truck in Illinois

CHICAGO (CBS) — Two people from Canada have been arrested on drug charges, after Illinois State Police seized more than $40 million worth of cocaine from a semi-trailer truck near the Iowa state line on Friday.

Police said, around 2:10 p.m., a trooper conducted a vehicle inspection on a Volvo semi-trailer on Interstate 80 in Henry County.

During the inspection, the trooper noticed “numerous indicators of criminal activity,” and a search of the truck revealed 1,146 pounds of cocaine, with an approximate street value of more than $40 million, police said.

Police arrested 27-year-old Vanshpreet Singh and 36-year-old Manpreet Singh, both of Ontario, Canada. The pair have been charged with felony counts of possession of cocaine, possession with intent to deliver cocaine, and cocaine trafficking.

Trump Says He Will Nominate Kash Patel to Run F.B.I.

President-elect Donald J. Trump said on Saturday that he wants to replace Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director, with Kash Patel, a hard-line critic of the bureau who has called for shutting down the agency’s Washington headquarters, firing its leadership and bringing the nation’s law enforcement agencies “to heel.”

Mr. Trump’s planned nomination of Mr. Patel has echoes of his failed attempt to place another partisan firebrand, Matt Gaetz, atop the Justice Department as attorney general. It could run into hurdles in the Senate, which will be called on to confirm him, and is sure to send shock waves through the F.B.I., which Mr. Trump and his allies have come to view as part of a “deep state” conspiracy against him.

Concerns Growing Over Canada’s Burgeoning Birth Tourism Industry

“Giving birth in Canada opens up great prospects for your baby,” says the Canada Mama consultancy website. It’s one of many platforms helping expectant mothers travel to Canada to give birth so their babies will become Canadian citizens.

Such platforms outline all the reasons Canada is the preferred destination: Birth tourism is permitted by law, medical expenses are relatively cheap, and Canadian citizenship comes with many social benefits.

Three conditions for a US-backed peace agreement in Ukraine

President Zelensky’s latest suggestions for how to end the fighting in Ukraine are not yet the basis for a peace settlement, but they contain some hopeful pointers towards one. They should form the starting point of the incoming Trump administration’s negotiations with both Moscow and Kyiv.

Two points in particular are fundamental. The first is Zelensky’s acknowledgement that the areas of Ukraine now held by Russia will remain under Russia’s de facto control. There will be no Ukrainian or Western legal recognition of Russian annexations, but the issue will be left for future negotiation.

Thankfully Australia’s trying a children’s social-media ban… before we do

“Is Ontario’s school cellphone ban actually going well?” a recent Toronto Star headline asked . There are “some reasons to think so,” the author explained, which is of course good news. It’s bananas it wasn’t tried before this year. Basically nobody opposes the idea: A poll conducted in May by Toronto Metropolitan University’s The Dais think tank found no more than 13 per cent opposition in any region of the country, just nine per cent in Ontario and six per cent in Quebec. And the arguments against it are preposterous, “what if there’s a school shooting” being the worst of them all. Even in the United States, your child is in far more danger travelling to and from school than at it.

Ontario Catholic School Student Suspended For Gender Views Loses in Court, Board Wants Him to Pay Legal Costs

An Ontario teen who was suspended from his Catholic high school over his views on gender has had his request for a court review of the school’s decision dismissed.

Josh Alexander was in Grade 11 at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, Ont., when he was suspended in 2022 for saying there are only two genders during a discussion in math class, as well as for organizing a student walkout protesting biological boys being allowed to use the girls’ washroom. He was also accused of bullying.

Samuel Paty trial: Father faces charge he is to blame for teacher’s beheading

It was one of the most shocking murders in recent French history. One afternoon in October 2020, Samuel Paty, a teacher, was beheaded near his school in a sleepy town west of Paris by a
Chechen-born Islamist in the culmination of an extraordinary campaign of online harassment against him.

This week, Brahim Chnina, 52, who triggered the outpouring of hate against Paty with mistaken claims of discrimination against his 13-year-old daughter, will appear in a Paris courtroom.
