London, Ont. explosives probe: 19 new charges laid against four accused

Nineteen more criminal charges have been added to the list of counts faced by four people arrested in connection with the north London gun-and-explosives investigation earlier this year.

A new, amended and lengthy list of charges was filed with the Ontario Court of Justice Tuesday, bringing the total to 31 separate counts. Some of the counts are joint charges against all four accused, while others pertain to specific people in the case.

Weird.

Polymarket let users bet on wildfires. Lawmakers warn that could spur arson.

Polymarket let users bet on wildfires. Lawmakers warn that could spur arson.

As wildfires rushed down the hills surrounding Los Angeles in January 2025, Polymarket users were trying to correctly predict how many acres would burn — chasing a payout for getting it right.

Some users appeared to grow uneasy, even as Polymarket let people bet on whether the fires would spread to nearby counties or when they might be contained.

“i hope i lose,” one user wrote in the site’s comments section, adding: “i wont cash out as i’m a man of my word.” Another replied, “Don’t be a man of your word, be a man of your money!”

The Myth of Black Female Exceptionalism

The Myth of Black Female Exceptionalism

Jasmine Crockett recently repeated a familiar talking point: that black women are the most educated demographic in America. However, this false claim is not supported by the data. Yet it continues to circulate in political discourse because it serves a psychological need rather than an empirical one. According to the Postsecondary National Policy Institute, Asian and white women hold bachelor’s degrees at higher rates than black women. Hence, black women are not the most educated group in the country. The statistic that black women are the most educated relies on selective interpretations of enrollment data among narrow age cohorts. It does not reflect overall degree attainment. But the media and political class refuse to correct this error because they are afraid of offending a powerful voting bloc.

Well this appears to be in a school

Student police officer Mohammad Hassan allegedly ‘bundled’ woman into his car and raped her before ‘driving off at 125mph’ with her inside, court told

A student police officer ‘bundled’ a woman into his car before raping her and then driving off at 125mph with her still inside, a court heard today.

Mohammad Hassan, 23, was arrested on the M62 motorway in West Yorkshire on Saturday after a police pursuit which followed a 999 call from the Manchester area.

A woman who could allegedly be heard in distress in the VW Golf during the call was ‘safeguarded at the scene’, police say.

Greta and Kneecap are a match made in heaven

Greta and Kneecap are a match made in heaven

Is there anything sadder than a Kneecap fan? Privileged kids in tricolour balaclavas leaping around like demented wombats. Bourgeois radicals donning IRA fancy dress in a desperate bid to annoy daddy. And the music! Perhaps those Provo tea cosies are designed to block out the tuneless warbling of this theatre-kid trio who larp as dangerous hoodlums.

The amazing lameness of Kneecap’s fanbase is summed up in new photos of Greta Thunberg at their Belfast gig on Thursday. She cuts a lonely, tragic figure in the swell of faux-punks. She’s wearing not only the tricolour balaclava but also that holiest garment of the smug set: the keffiyeh. All she needed was a Pride flag over her shoulders to perfect the trifecta of virtuous garb.

Canadian colonel’s medal raises questions about Canada’s role in U.S. war with Iran

Canadian colonel’s medal raises questions about Canada’s role in U.S. war with Iran

A medal awarded to a high-ranking Royal Canadian Air Force officer is raising questions about this country’s involvement in the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.

Late last month, the Government of Canada announced that Col. David K. Turenne, a former CF-18 fighter pilot, had been approved for the Meritorious Service Cross. That medal recognizes military deeds “performed in an outstandingly professional manner, according to a rare high standard that brings considerable benefit or great honour to the Canadian Forces,” according to its official description.

Fake news – Canada has no working fighter jets

The cost of building the Ontario Line has more than tripled. Metrolinx says the budget remains ‘under pressure’

The cost of building the Ontario Line has more than tripled. Metrolinx says the budget remains ‘under pressure’

The cost of building the Ontario Line has risen once again and Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay says that the total budget will remain “under pressure” amid “one of the worst supply chain shocks” in decades.

Lindsay confirmed at an unrelated press conference on Tuesday that the awarding of a $4.32 billion contract for three-kilometres of tunneling underneath Pape Avenue and the construction of two underground stations has pushed the current cost of the Ontario Line to around $34 billion.

That is more than three times the original $10.9 billion cost estimate that was first shared for the project back in 2019.

Someone is getting rich.
