The big gamble by the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association (APMA) is playing out in Las Vegas this week.
Project Arrow, the high-tech concept vehicle produced with content from 50 parts suppliers in Canada, was unveiled at the consumer electronics show known as CES on Thursday.
Records of 235 million Twitter accounts and the email addresses used to register them have been posted to an online hacking forum, setting the stage for anonymous handles to be linked to real-world identities.
That poses threats of exposure, arrest or violence against people who used Twitter to criticize governments or powerful individuals, and it could open up others to extortion, security experts said. Hackers could also use the email addresses to attempt to reset passwords and take control of accounts, especially those not protected by two-factor authentication.
The professional regulatory body charged with licensing and upholding standards for psychologists in the province has ordered Peterson to undergo remedial social media training, what he calls reeducation.
Law enforcement killed at least 1,176 people or about 100 people a month last year, making it the deadliest for police violence
… The racial disparities have also persisted: Black people were 24% of those killed last year, while making up only 13% of the population. From 2013 to 2022, Black residents were three times more likely to be killed by US police than white people. The inequality is particularly severe in some cities, including Minneapolis where police have killed Black residents at a rate 28 times higher than white residents, and Chicago, where the rate was 25 times higher, Mapping Police Violence reported.

Soaring food prices don’t seem to be slowing down, amid rising inflation and an increase in the cost of living, and Canadians are blaming large supermarket chains.
Several photos posted on social media over the holidays showed a surge in prices of certain food items found in supermarkets, including chicken breast and canned goods, sparking outrage among many Twitter users.
Members of the US House of Representatives will try for a fourth day to elect a Speaker on Friday in an attempt to end a political impasse.
The frontrunner, Republican Kevin McCarthy, has so far failed to reach the 218 votes required for election.
That’s due to a right-wing cohort within his own party refusing to vote for him.
There have so far been 11 failed votes – a paralysis of government not seen since the pre-Civil War era.
Global News reporter Rachel Gilmore said she wants to see a full representation of the tweets which led to prominent Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson being investigated by the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO).
“This piece fails to mention whether his professional association took issue with this one,” said Gilmore in a Wednesday tweet.

The Taliban have expressed their fury after Prince Harry revealed he killed 25 enemy ‘chess pieces’ during his deployment in Afghanistan, in his tell-all memoir Spare.
Speaking to MailOnline, the militants taunted the Prince, saying they had the last laugh over the West and the ‘big mouth loser’ Duke of Sussex – who ‘fled to his grandmother’s palace’ – by recapturing the country in 2021.
Even Meghan’s Taliban friends have turned on Harry!
As Canadian immigration reaches the highest levels seen in its history, a Radio-Canada investigation has publish allegations that the surge may have been heavily influenced by a U.S.-founded consultancy that has collected more than $60 million from the Trudeau government.
McKinsey & Co. — a multi-billion dollar global consultancy firm with five locations in Canada —only scored the occasional contract with the Canadian federal government in the years preceding the 2015 election of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The answer is yes, the Banana Republic of Canada’s immigration policy is a welfare program designed to benefit the corporate class not citizens.
You would think that Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh would be up in arms at this revelation. Forget it, they’re in on the mass-immigration scam.
The wonder is that this story even saw the light of day on English CBC and didn’t remain buried on Quebec’s Radio-Canada.
Mass immigration is not a savior of the economy and immigrants age so if you believe the lie that they’ll be paying for your pension then congratulations on buying into the Ponzi scheme.
The masses of warm bodies are used to depress your wages and create shortages in housing and services that can be exploited for profit – on your back.
US authorities are ratcheting up pressure on Sam Bankman-Fried’s inner circle as they scrutinize former close FTX associate Nishad Singh, according to people familiar with the matter.
If federal prosecutors in Manhattan find Singh had a role in the alleged multiyear scheme at FTX and trading firm Alameda Research to defraud investors and clients, he could be charged as soon as this month, said one of the people. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are also probing Singh, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing the matter.
Not lookin good, on paper at least.
The Ontario Liberals have delivered a scathing post-mortem into their “devastating and disappointing” election defeat to Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives last June.
In a candid critique, the Liberals acknowledge they were hindered by an “unpopular” leader in Steven Del Duca, a woolly campaign platform, poor voter-identification data, inadequate candidate vetting, and a lack of money and volunteers.
Police have unsealed the arrest affidavit revealing why they have pointed the finger at Bryan Kohberger more than a month after four students were slain in their beds.
The explosive document shows how painstaking work by Moscow Police and the FBI tracked down the 28-year-old criminal justice graduate student.
He was denied bail today during a brief court appearance in Moscow shortly after the affidavit outlining some of the case against him was shared online.
There was a time, not long ago, when Ontario Premier Doug Ford seemed skeptical about government’s ability to lead us to an emissions-free future. He was the guy who scrapped the province’s cap-and-trade emissions reduction system, cancelled government subsidies for electric car buyers, fought the federal carbon tax and undermined it by reducing the province’s own gasoline taxes.
Taxpayer-funded Crown corporation VIA Rail will run at an estimated operating deficit of $411 million this year, according to the company’s newest corporate plan. Despite layoffs and service cuts to try and slow steep losses, the railway is expected to continue to lose money for at least two more years, according to the report.
The railway lost $370.5 million in 2021 and $415.8 million in 2020.
Too many serious institutions are indulging this infantile nonsense.
Many have pinned the beginning of the ‘Great Awokening’ – the transition of the venomous cocktail of extremely niche Tumblr culture and naff identity politics into the mainstream – to 2013. As we move into this 10th anniversary year of raving teenage internet nonsense being taken seriously in the real world by grown adults, perhaps we need a spiritual guide to lead us in our celebrations?
