Some Canadian EV buyers sour on Tesla after Elon Musk’s pivot to the right
When Jeff Cowie bought his first electric car in 2019, the Tesla Model 3 checked all the boxes: It meshed with his environmental ideals, offered a fun driving experience and the technology aligned with what he was used to as an avid Apple user.
Mr. Cowie admits he was also impressed by the bold ambitions of Tesla Inc.’s space-exploring chief executive officer, Elon Musk.
Boss accused of sexism for saying she wanted to buy ‘pink dresses’ for hoped for granddaughter
An HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) boss was accused of sexism after saying she wanted to have a granddaughter so she could buy pink dresses, an employment tribunal has heard.
Rachel Gladstone demanded that her team leader Sandra Edwards keep her “overt spoilt-pink-baby-girl-princess sexism” for her private life after she made the remark in a team meeting.
This is a doozy.
Was the Jan 6 pipe bomber a woman? FBI admits shock possibility as it releases eerie new video of 5ft 7 suspect
A figure filmed planting pipe bombs around Capitol Hill hours before the January 6 insurrection is so well disguised, the FBI isn’t sure if they are a man or a woman.
The 5ft 7in suspect was caught on CCTV laying the explosives outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee on January 5, 2021.
Newly released video showed they wore a white hoodie, dark pants and gloves, and a mask around their face – as most people did during the Covid pandemic at the time.
This newly released surveillance video of the 1/6 bomber leads us to two vital clues:
1. With the legs together, half-ladylike, combined with previous videos, this is undoubtedly a woman.
2. With that conclusion, we must rule out @mtgreenee as a suspectpic.twitter.com/Ovy78G1RTM

The Mystery of What’s Causing Young People’s Cancer Leads to the Gut
Researchers have identified a focal point for the forces they suspect of driving up cancer cases in young people: the gut. They are searching people’s bodies and childhood histories for culprits.
Rates of gastrointestinal cancers among people under 50 are increasing across the globe. In the U.S., colorectal cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men under 50 and second for women behind breast cancer. Each generation born since the 1950s has had higher risk than the one before.

Ottawa to spend $400K to scrap Canadian Coast Guard ship destroyed by vandals six years ago
OTTAWA – After six years of costly indecision, the federal government will spend more than $400,000 to dispose of a Canadian Coast Guard vessel that spent more years as a “dead” ship than a seaworthy vessel.
Built in 2013, CCGS Corporal McLaren M.M.V. will have the unfortunate honour of having spent the majority of its 10 years of service as a boat-shaped hunk of metal more accustomed to dry land than swelling seas.

Apparently we should have researched more and argued with Democrats less.

Canadian fugitive ex-Olympian Ryan Wedding likely still has ‘network of hitmen,’ prosecutors warn
While the FBI hunts Canadian fugitive Ryan Wedding, U.S. authorities are warning he remains a threat and likely still has a team of contract killers at the ready.
Wedding, who competed for Canada as a snowboarder at the 2002 Olympic Games, is accused of running a violent, $1-billion US transnational criminal enterprise. He remains on the lam while facing murder and drug trafficking charges in California.
Between them, Wedding and his top lieutenant, fellow Canadian Andrew Clark, are accused of orchestrating at least four killings in southern Ontario, including the mistaken-identity shootings of the Sidhu family in November 2023.
Well I hope they’re sustainable hitmen!

Toronto-area teen arrested over alleged plan to travel to join ISIS
A Toronto-area teen has been arrested on suspicion he was planning to travel abroad to join ISIS, CBC News has learned.
Court records show the RCMP applied last month for a terrorism peace bond in the case, which would restrict the movements of the 18-year-old from Newmarket, Ont. The accused can’t be named due to his age.
“Although the defendant is an adult now, much of the allegations occurred while he was a young person,” said Nathalie Houle, a spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

Glastonbury profits nearly double as Neil Young brands festival ‘corporate turn-off’
Glastonbury Festival saw its profits nearly double last year, newly filed accounts show, amid claims from Neil Young that the event has become a “corporate turn-off”.
Glastonbury, which is run by the Eavis family, posted a pre-tax profit of almost £6m in the year to March, up from £2.9m the previous year. Revenues rose from £57m to £68m, according to accounts filed at Companies House.
The new figures have come to light after Mr Young announced he would not be performing at this year’s festival in protest against what he claimed was “corporate control” of the event by the BBC.
