Police in Canada seized more than 100 3D-printed guns last year, with some jurisdictions seeing big increases in this type of weapon and even busting manufacturing rings for the first time.
In Calgary, for example, police seized 17 3D-printed guns in 2022, compared to just one each in 2021 and 2020.
“I wasn’t a big proponent of putting a lot of resources into 3D-printed guns here in Calgary when we first started [the unit], because we just didn’t see them,” said Ben Lawson, acting staff sergeant of the Calgary Police Service Firearms Investigative Unit.
With only three weeks to go before British Columbia’s decriminalization of hard drugs, a Vancouver man says he is already planning to open Canada’s first store selling crack, meth and heroin.

China has upped the stakes in the competition to get to the moon. “It is a fact: We’re in a space race,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said to Politico in an interview this month. He was talking about China, and he was clear about how he sees the threat: “We better watch out that they don’t get to a place on the moon under the guise of scientific research. And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they say, ‘Keep out, we’re here, this is our territory.'”

I was a fan.
The RCMP says many tips from Canada’s financial intelligence agency about possible crimes “may not get investigated” due to a lack of policing resources and conflicting priorities.

Halton trustees have ordered the director of education to create and implement a “professionalism policy” for staff — that includes standards of dress — by March.

I bet Big Tits is declared a legacy deviant and allowed to retain its teats.
According to the CEOs of the country’s largest banks, tens of thousands of Canadian borrowers could be vulnerable to defaulting on their mortgages as rates rise and homeowners struggle to make monthly payments.
Scotiabank’s incoming CEO said about 20,000 of the bank’s borrowers could be vulnerable, which represents about 2.5 per cent of the bank’s mortgage customers. The CEOs of several of Canada’s other big banks also said Monday that small percentages of their borrowers are at risk, potentially adding up to tens of thousands of Canadians.
British and European manufacturers are slowing down production of electric vehicles because they are too expensive for the vast majority of motorists, an industry body has said.
The Advanced Propulsion Centre, which disburses taxpayer money to help push the automotive industry to a zero-emission future, said in its latest quarterly review of the market that British factories would produce 280,000 fully electric cars and vans in 2025, out of a total production of 1.1 million.
Political memoirs tend to ring their subjects in an aura of fantastic luminosity.
So it appears with Bill Morneau’s account of his five years as finance minister. (I say “appears” because the publisher has released the book to only a limited number of media outlets.)

“There is no greater justice than using the funds for the victims of terror,”
When you see the Biden administration, the media and anti-Israel leftists furiously ranting about the “extreme ultra-right wing” new Israeli government, this is what they’re really angry about.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Sunday said he is pulling 138.8 million NIS belonging to the Palestinian Authority and frozen by Israel… and he intends to give the money to families of terror victims….
