Investigators have released descriptions of five suspects wanted in connection with a swarming attack on a business owner in Oshawa that is being probed as a possible hate crime.
Thanks for the question. Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window.The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year 1618 which became the spark that started the Thirty Years’ War.
The word comes from the Neo-Latin de- (down from) and fenestra (window or opening).[ According to Tim Zadorozhnyy, writing in the Kyiv Independent, defenestration is Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s favourite method of getting rid of his opponents.
When Prime Minister Mark Carney met with automotive sector CEOs Wednesday about U.S. trade negotiations, one of the key issues the industry said they wished to discuss was the government’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
The mandate requires a certain percentage of light duty vehicles — passenger cars, SUVs and trucks — that are sold to be either fully electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids, starting with 20 per cent in 2026 and rising to 100 per cent by 2035.
Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, told CBC News on the way to the meeting that “the targets that have been established cannot be met” given current market forces.

A major search and rescue operation is continuing through the night in Texas after flash floods killed at least 24 people and left many girls missing from a Christian summer camp.
There was little warning as the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet (7.9m) in less than an hour and flooding that followed swept away mobile homes, vehicles and holiday cabins where people were spending the 4 July weekend.
Rescue crews are still searching for up to 25 children who were among the 750 girls attending the Camp Mystic just outside the town of Kerrville 104km (64.0 miles) north-west of San Antonio.
Incredible videos of Texas flood. The height it reached in minutes…shit.
4 videos:
1) the initial wall of water
2) 15 minutes after wall; Tree sucked under bridge
3) 25 minutes after wall; flood at bridge level
4) 30 minutes after wall; floating House hits bridge. pic.twitter.com/sFtbN82ptU— Aontacht (@humerus6cents) July 5, 2025

OTTAWA — The Carney government is poised to post a massive deficit of more than $92 billion during this fiscal year, a new report from a well-respected financial think tank projects, almost double what was forecast just a few months ago by a non-partisan arm of the government.
Armed US contractors at one of Gaza’s new aid distribution hubs appeared to fire at Palestinians before celebrating, leaked footage has suggested.
Video seems to have shown machine gun fire in the vicinity of civilians seeking aid, with an American voice shouting: “I think you got one.”
Another voice adds: “Hell, yeah, boy!”
"Hell yeah, boy!"

Not sure this proves anything. We’ll see.
OTTAWA — Canada’s immigration framework needs to put national security ahead of the interests of applicants.
That’s among many issues experts say need to change as Canada wrestles with what they say is decades of ineffective and damaging immigration policy, as the country deals with increased global security threats from bad actors.

Criminal gangs are targeting electric car chargers, stripping copper from the cables and leaving drivers unable to refuel.
InstaVolt, one of Britain’s biggest charging networks, said over 700 stations had been targeted in a wave that it has linked to organised crime. Incidents have risen from 140 a year ago.
The company has been forced to develop an anti-theft electric charger in an attempt to combat the crime wave. Bosses have said the spate of outages has dented consumer confidence in charging stations, affecting electric car uptake.
Across Canada, you could hear the eyes of Gen Zers rolling. The headline in The Globe said it all: “CMHC gives up on comparing housing affordability to 2004 levels.”
Where a previous headline-making report by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the federal agency whose stated purpose is to make housing affordable, had set out a series of policies aimed at returning housing costs, relative to income, to 2004 levels – by 2030 – the new report dismisses this as “no longer realistic.”
French police have used knives to puncture migrant dinghies in the water for the first time as they gear up to implement law changes.
There were chaotic scenes on French beaches on Friday morning as officers charged into the sea with knives to slash a rigid inflatable boat, which migrants were scrambling to board.

After years of lax migration policies, the Netherlands appears to be reverting to a more restrictive, common-sense approach.
On Thursday, July 3rd, the Dutch parliament’s lower house passed a sweeping package of asylum law reforms championed by right-wing populist leader Geert Wilders.
The legislation halts new residency permits for asylum seekers indefinitely, and cuts the duration of temporary residency permits from five to three years.

The 21st century is going to be overshadowed by a crisis that human beings have never faced before. I don’t mean war, pestilence, famine or climate change. Those are perennial troubles. Yes, even climate change, despite the hype, is nothing new as anyone who’s heard of the Roman Warm Period, the Mediaeval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age will know. Climate change and the others are certainly problems, but they aren’t new.
But the crisis that’s coming is new.
In his first speech after the House passed his “Big Beautiful Bill,” President Trump on Thursday announced he’s working on a mass amnesty for potentially millions of illegal aliens working in farm, hotel and leisure industries which “radical right people” won’t be happy about.
Stupid move. A betrayal.
