An American woman who is believed to be the first person to die inside a controversial “suicide pod” in a Swiss forest was found with marks around her neck resembling strangulation injuries, according to a prosecutor’s statement.
The woman, then 64, allegedly traveled to Switzerland with the intention of using the so-called Sarco pod, a capsule that replaces oxygen inside the pod with nitrogen to induce death by hypoxia.
Canada needs to double its annual military spending in order to meet its NATO requirements, new Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) projections show.

The Biden administration has been in a terrible bind over the past year.
In September 2023, Jake Sullivan declared that there was peace in the Middle East due to Biden’s tremendous leadership. One week later, all hell broke loose.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre thinks it would be “not fair” for the Liberals to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now, as in his view they are “morally obligated” to keep him.
Poilievre’s comments come ahead of another potentially significant Liberal caucus meeting Wednesday, during which members are expected to continue discussions around the party’s leadership and the next election.
The man who broke into the home of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband with a hammer has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on state charges in California.
David DePape was also convicted on federal charges in May leading to a 30-year prison sentence which will now be served concurrently.
In the state trial, a San Francisco jury found DePape guilty of kidnapping, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment of an elder. The attack left Paul Pelosi, now 84, in hospital for six days with a fractured skull and other injuries.
The guy deserves incarceration but life with no parole?
That’s the kind of “justice” only ill gotten Pelosi money can buy.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face, said “Iron” Mike Tyson.
Ramesh Siromani, the executive vice president of cards, payments and transformation at RBC, probably had a plan when he appeared as a witness at the House of Commons Industry committee on Monday. It likely involved honeyed words about how RBC “helps clients thrive and communities prosper,” while offering “value, convenience and choice.”
But then he got punched in the face by Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner.
White children playing Monopoly should be given more money and less jail time, to teach them about racial privilege, councils have advised parents.
Mother and fathers have also been warned about singing nursery rhymes “steeped in white culture”, including Baa Baa Black Sheep.

OTTAWA — A growing number of Liberal MPs publicly declared their support on Tuesday for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership to be tested through a secret ballot vote, with one even suggesting he would be unlikely to survive.
Questions about the level of support Trudeau enjoys within his 152-member caucus continue to swirl nearly a week after he met behind closed-doors with Liberal MPs, two dozen of whom had signed a letter asking Trudeau step aside.
He’s single handedly destroying the Liberal Party. Don’t interrupt him.
The House Judiciary Committee is examining a whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James B. Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.
An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.
The whistleblower disclosure said two female FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.

For months, the Trudeau Liberals have dismissed allegations of foreign interference into elections, only to seemingly take them seriously as part of a strategy to nod to conspiracy theories about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
