How do you scare a polar bear? You don’t. They are apex predators and could eat you whenever they want.
But, that didn’t stop the government of Manitoba from spending $150,000 replacing diesel tundra buggies with whisper quiet electric vehicles so tourists wouldn’t frighten the bears away.
Nearly 60 per cent of Canadians were comfortable or somewhat comfortable with a deal that could see the federal NDP prop up the minority Liberal government until 2025, a new survey says.
The NDP agreed to the arrangement in exchange for parliamentary co-operation and progress on key New Democratic priorities, such as dental care, pharmacare, housing, climate change and Indigenous reconciliation.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the deal in March, saying it will allow the government to “function with predictability and stability,” implement budgets and “get things done for Canadians.”
No words. Go incognito.
Soil can be considered black gold, and we’re running out it.
The United Nations declared soil finite and predicted catastrophic loss within 60 years.
“There are places that have already lost all of their topsoil,” Jo Handelsman, author of “A World Without Soil,” and a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told CNBC.
Mom let’s her 7 year-old child choose to be non-binary but also says he’s too young to understand pronouns.
So he’s too young to understand pronouns but not too young to decide to be non-binary. Makes complete sense pic.twitter.com/JRLkydQfZ9

Scientists inadvertently bred a horde of unusually aggressive hamsters after a gene editing experiment to ‘reduce aggression’ went wrong.
Researchers at Georgia State University produced new rodents without hormone vasopressin in an effort to raise ‘social communication’ between the rodents.
Yet the chemical change turned the Syrian hamsters wild, prompting fights inside cages.

It’s a good thing Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau have learned to get along so well together over the past couple of years.
Both leaders have won the gift of extra time in office this year. Ford is now in office at Queen’s Park until at least 2026 after his stunning majority victory this week, while Trudeau plans to stick around to 2025, thanks to his governing pact with the federal New Democrats.
The two men have already had a convivial chat about where they’ve been and where they’re going in this unexpected friendship. They were on the phone, in fact, not long after the Conservative victory was declared on Thursday night.
“Both of us sat back and reviewed everything that we got done together,” Ford told reporters on Friday. “And there’s so much that unites us.”
DETROIT (AP) — More than 750 Tesla owners have complained to U.S. safety regulators that cars operating on the automaker’s partially automated driving systems have suddenly stopped on roadways for no apparent reason.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed the number in a detailed information request letter to Tesla that was posted Friday on the agency’s website.
The 14-page letter dated May 4 asks the automaker for all consumer and field reports it has received about false braking, as well as reports of crashes, injuries, deaths and property damage claims. It also asks whether the company’s “Full Self Driving” and automatic emergency braking systems were active at the time of any incident.
When Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine in late February, the Russian president vowed his forces would not occupy the neighboring country. But as the invasion reached its 100th day Friday, Russia seemed increasingly unlikely to relinquish the territory it has taken in the war.
The ruble is now an official currency in the southern Kherson region, alongside the Ukrainian hryvnia. Residents there and in Russia-controlled parts of the Zaporizhzhia region are getting offered Russian passports. The Kremlin-installed administrations in both regions have talked about plans to become part of Russia.
And – Oil Execs Cash Out Like Crazy While Gas Prices Soak Americans
Gas prices have skyrocketed to record highs, forcing some families to choose between filling their tank and putting food on the table. But for the oil execs whose stock holdings have soared, these are happy days—and some of them are cashing in their shares at unusually high rates.
I swear the purpose of this war was to condition us to accept the uninterrupted flow of commerce between belligerents. What next? War profiteering is declared patriotic? A win for the elites.

PARIS (AP) — Across France, more than 300 people have reported being pricked out of the blue with needles at nightclubs or concerts in recent months. Doctors and multiple prosecutors are on the case, but no one knows who’s doing it or why, and whether the victims have been injected with drugs — or indeed any substance at all.
Club owners and police are trying to raise awareness, and a rapper even interrupted his recent show to warn concert-goers about the risk of surprise needle attacks.
The City of Toronto overspent by $13.2 million over two years on emergency hotel shelters, according to a fiscal audit by the city’s auditor general.
Money intended for housing support instead went to pay a host of hotel fees, the auditor general says, including one earmarked for tourism. That’s despite the fact the contracts preclude such fees.
In two years, $5.4 million was spent on hotel room vacancy fees, $5.3 million was spent on facility surcharges on meal invoices, and $2.4 million came out of a voluntary three per cent tax that the Greater Toronto Hotel Association uses to promote tourism.
Canadian military veterans play an outsized role in anti-government movements, a shift exacerbated by pandemic restrictions, according to a report by an extremist monitoring organization that tracks online activity.
The influence of former military status within anti-government movements is so strong that some adherents falsely claim to be veterans to bolster their status as leaders, the report says.
