WARMINGTON: As trade spat rages, alleged U.S. consulate shooter freed on bail

If U.S. President Donald J. Trump was upset about Premier Doug Ford telling him to “kiss” his behind, there’s no telling how he may react to an Ontario judge saying the man charged in shooting up the American consulate in downtown Toronto does not have to sit in jail and is free to wait at home until his trial.


Canada’s justice system needs no incentive from Trump to make an ass of itself.

FBI no longer treating applicants’ experience with sex workers as automatic bar against hiring

FBI no longer treating applicants’ experience with sex workers as automatic bar against hiring

The FBI is dropping a categorical hiring ban on applicants who have had sexual encounters with sex workers and will instead consider in a more holistic manner at least some candidates who have engaged in the practice in the past, according to people familiar with the matter.

The move away from an automatic disqualification falls along a continuum of evolving recruitment standards within federal law enforcement and at the buttoned-up bureau, which several years ago relaxed its approach to candidates’ past marijuana use and has drawn more recent concern among some current and former agents about a perceived loosening of recruitment requirements as it seeks to replenish its ranks.

The CBSA classified this business’s golf trolleys as Chinese EVs. Now it’s on the hook for $183K in tariffs

The CBSA classified this business’s golf trolleys as Chinese EVs. Now it’s on the hook for $183K in tariffs

Joseph McLuckie can’t count the number of sleepless nights he has had ever since the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) determined about three months ago that his small business owes more than $180,000 in tariffs on a more-than-a-year-old shipment.

McLuckie is the managing director and owner of JPSM Golf, a small business based out of Pickering, Ont., that sells electric golf trolleys. These trolleys carry golfers’ bags throughout the course as they play.

Can’t they just rent or sell Uyghurs?

Milo Yiannopoulos, a Right-Wing Provocateur, Is Arrested by ICE

Milo Yiannopoulos, a Right-Wing Provocateur, Is Arrested by ICE

The Trump administration said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Milo Yiannopoulos, the prominent right-wing agitator and early supporter of President Trump, at the New Orleans airport on Friday.

Public ICE detention records confirmed that Mr. Yiannopoulos was in custody, but did not say where he was being held. The Homeland Security Department said that Mr. Yiannopoulos had overstayed his visa and was issued a final deportation order in July. That order means Mr. Yiannopoulos faces possible removal from the country.


He was entertaining until revealed as unsustainably perverse.

Bill Gates Has an AI Plan for You

Bill Gates Has an AI Plan for You

ill Gates, the guy who tried to destroy the world over the Wuhan sniffles, says it’s time to panic about AI. Should we?

The billionaire Microsoft founder is very concerned about AI. He is concerned about our jobs, our families, our ability to think and reason about the issue, and of course, how AI impacts his precious climate change narrative. What he is not concerned about, apparently, is his own track record as a nanny state catastrophist.
