Turkey’s shoddy builders sold a ‘piece of heaven’ that turned to hell

Arrest warrants issued for dozens of cost-cutting construction bosses

The slick advertisement describes the luxury apartment complex as a “piece of heaven”, taking viewers on a virtual-reality tour of manicured gardens, generous amenities and people sunbathing beside a swimming pool.

The Ronesans Residence, completed in 2013, was touted as the most desirable abode in Antakya, a city in southern Turkey. According to its promotional video, the development was a place of “flawless comfort” built to exacting safety standards.

That Allah fella, he has mysterious ways I’m told.

Buffalo shooting hearing descends into chaos as man rushes gunman Payton Gendron before he’s slapped with life sentences

An impassioned victim impact statement from the sister of one of the victims of the Buffalo supermarket shooting was interrupted when an unknown person lunged at the teenage shooter, disrupting the courtroom, before the killer was handed 10 life sentences — one for each victim.

“You killed my sister,” Barbara Mapps told Payton Gendron, 19, at the latter’s sentencing at Erie County Court on Wednesday morning.

Judge Susan Eagan said the sentences would run concurrently, according to News4Buffalo.

New battle emerges between the West and defence industry as the push continues to help arm Ukraine

Nato members concede that Western militaries risk running out of the ammunition Kyiv needs, but also protect themselves going forward

Far from the battlefield of Ukraine, a new conflict is taking shape that could determine the future of the war – one between Western governments and the global arms industry.

Nato member states gathered in Brussels have conceded that Western militaries are in danger of running out of the ammunition Kyiv needs to win the war, but also protect themselves going forward.

Ukraine’s armed forces are burning through artillery shells at a rate of 6,000 a day – more than a smaller European country’s orders in an entire year in peacetime.

An electric Hummer and Caddy? Auto show offerings grow, but can infrastructure support an EV world?

… But the rapid rise in electric vehicle sales is about to bump into some very real limitations, say Jominy and other auto industry insiders.

Flavio Volpe, president of the APMA, points out that roughly a third of the Canadian population lives in multi-family buildings such as apartments or condo buildings, most of which don’t have dedicated charging stations. In downtown areas, even many single-family homes don’t have driveways, Volpe noted.

“You’re not going to be running a cable out to the street to charge your car,” said Volpe.

That kind of basic stumbling block makes Volpe wary of proposed regulations from the federal government which is aiming to have 20 per cent of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2026, and 100 per cent by 2035. The regulations also envision significant fines for auto companies for each non-electric vehicle sold below the target.

Why would Justin make policy on false infrastructure assumptions?

Because they can. You aren’t going to be driving anything.

That’s the goal.

Pretty strange when even the Star is pointing out the flaw in Junior’s Masterplan.

Michael Shellenberger: Normies unite! Toward a liberal-conservative alliance against Wokeism

People who worked in hospital clinics in the United States and Great Britain are blowing the whistle on the rush to prescribe puberty-blocking drugs and surgeries to children suffering from gender dysphoria.

Their claims are shocking: thousands of children, many if not most of whom may be gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and suffering anxiety disorders and autism, are being sterilized for a psychiatric condition that most will grow out of.

Just like “repressed memories.” A lot of lawsuits will be launched but what is really needed is a Nuremburg 2.0 for these maniac medicos.

Roxham Rd. asylum seekers are being transferred to Ontario because Quebec is full up!

QUEBEC — The vast majority of asylum seekers arriving at the Roxham Rd. crossing last weekend were transferred directly to Ontario, Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette revealed Tuesday.

On the same day the Quebec government upped the pressure on Washington to amend the Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States to cover irregular crossing points, Fréchette said Ottawa has taken heed of Quebec’s position that it has reached its maximum capacity when it comes to asylum seekers.

The “Islamophobia” Regime

If the nearly uniform narrative offered in a spate of recent books about “Islamophobia” is to be believed, Western Muslims, who enjoy freedoms denied to their brethren in most places in the world, are being tyrannized by hateful white Westerners afflicted with an irrational “phobia” of Islam and its adherents, which drives them to blithely reenact the crimes their ancestors perpetrated in previous centuries against indigenous peoples in Africa, Asia, and the Western hemisphere.

In these books, Muslims living in the West are the hapless victims of oppression, and their non-Muslim neighbors are the eternal oppressors. Accordingly, these oppressors can only offload their burden of civilizational guilt (and the punishment it invites) by confessing their sins (and those of their ancestors), engage in acts of contrition, and convert, either to Islam itself or to a political agenda that acquiesces in Islamist assaults on the rights historically accorded to citizens in Western democracies. Under this arrangement, the only rights that need to be protected are those of Muslims; non-Muslims have no rights, only rules and liabilities.

Study shows ‘striking’ number who believe news misinforms

NEW YORK (AP) — Half of Americans in a recent survey indicated they believe national news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public to adopt a particular point of view through their reporting.

The survey, released Wednesday by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, goes beyond others that have shown a low level of trust in the media to the startling point where many believe there is an intent to deceive.

Asked whether they agreed with the statement that national news organizations do not intend to mislead, 50% said they disagreed. Only 25% agreed, the study found.

Revealed: the hacking and disinformation team meddling in elections

A team of Israeli contractors who claim to have manipulated more than 30 elections around the world using hacking, sabotage and automated disinformation on social media has been exposed in a new investigation.

The unit is run by Tal Hanan, a 50-year-old former Israeli special forces operative who now works privately using the pseudonym “Jorge”, and appears to have been working under the radar in elections in various countries for more than two decades.

He is being unmasked by an international consortium of journalists. Hanan and his unit, which uses the codename “Team Jorge”, have been exposed by undercover footage and documents leaked to the Guardian.

‘Liberal’ ChatGPT is censoring the The Post’s Hunter Biden coverage, too

The popular new artificial intelligence service ChatGPT refused to write a story about Hunter Biden in the style of the New York Post — but gladly spit out a CNN-like puff piece protective of the president’s embattled son.

It is the most recent example of the futuristic AI’s liberal bias, which seems to have been programmed in by creator OpenAI.

When asked to write a story about Hunter on Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT responded, “I cannot generate content that is designed to be inflammatory or biased.”
