UK Navy warship that rammed another ‘was rewired to go backwards instead of forwards’

Two Navy warships crashed into each other because one was incorrectly rewired so it reversed instead of going forward, sources have claimed.

The minehunter HMS Chiddingfold smashed into HMS Bangor in Bahrain on Thursday after it failed to moor alongside it, leaving HMS Bangor with a large rip along its side.

Sources have told The Telegraph that HMS Chiddingfold accidentally reversed as a result of “faulty engine controls producing astern instead of ahead”.

Ontario man ‘factually guilty’ but gun case tossed over OPP racial profiling

While noting that a man was “factually guilty” of carrying a loaded handgun, a judge recently threw out the evidence and acquitted him after finding he was racially profiled by the OPP in Huntsville.

Superior Court Justice Cary Boswell found that the OPP violated no less than five different sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms when officers arrested Tyrese Douglas-Hodgson during a traffic stop in March 2020, displaying “an almost complete indifference” to his rights.

Battered in the polls, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals look for a boost from … Donald Trump?

MONTREAL — The federal Liberals are turning their minds to how they can strategically benefit from the looming shadow of Donald Trump, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet are set to hold sessions on Canada’s relations with the United States ahead of this year’s presidential election.

The discussion is slated for Tuesday, before Trudeau and his front bench of cabinet ministers wrap up three days of strategizing and policy debate ahead of the winter sitting of Parliament. It also happens to occur as Trump tries to tighten his grip on the Republican Party nomination for president with Tuesday’s primary vote in New Hampshire.

Why Did the FBI ‘Disappear’ the Boston Bomber’s Jihadist Wife?

“They deleted her from a lot of the public records so that she couldn’t be tracked.”

I hadn’t thought about it in a while, but the Messenger went out and dug up this old story with an odd twist.

Katherine Russell pulled off a seeming vanishing act shortly after her husband, notorious Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a shootout with police days after the bloody 2013 terror attack.

What Is ‘Disease X’ That the WHO Is Preparing For?

Global organizations are working to build a permanent, globally-controlled state of readiness for the coming of the heralded “Disease X.”

Speaking at a World Economic Forum (WEF) seminar called “Preparing for Disease X,” World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that in 2018 his organization “needed to have a placeholder for the disease we don’t know.

“And that was when we gave the name Disease X,” he said on Jan. 17. “We were preparing for Covid-like diseases, and you may even call Covid the first Disease X.”

Demented Canadians who plan to vote Liberal doing so to stop Conservatives from winning and don’t give a crap about the harm Junior has caused

Most Canadians who plan to vote Liberal doing so to stop Conservatives from winning: poll

Most Canadians who plan on voting for the Liberal party are more motivated to stop the Conservatives from winning the election rather than endorsing the party’s vision and leader, according to a new poll released on Monday.

Meanwhile, the opposite is true for most Conservative supporters.

… The Conservatives have maintained a double-digit vote lead since September. If an election were held today, two in five (41 per cent) Canadians would support the Conservatives while a quarter (24 per cent) would vote for the Liberals, according to Angus Reid’s latest data. One in five said they would support the NDP.

Justin’s media is in death spiral spin mode.

These fast food jobs are going to robots

Flippy is making burgers, Chippy is cooking french fries, and Remy is serving up salads. Customers may not even notice them, but robots are becoming more common behind the counter at fast food kitchens.

At Food Republic, a quick-service joint in Vancouver, Remy looks like a giant stainless steel box. Inside, it receives the order to portion out each salad ingredient. Cucumbers tumble down a tube into a takeout bowl, which then moves along a conveyor belt to collect the next topping.

So why are we importing bodies by the millions? To lower labour costs providing more funds for Big Business to implement AI solutions?

As Canada’s health systems strain, more private care would make more resources available to treat sick people and that would be bad says Assclown Liberal minister

Health Minister Mark Holland says while some provinces are using private health care as a stop-gap to try to address system strains, health-care delivery must stay publicly funded.

His comments come after two doctors last week warned that the crisis in Canada’s emergency rooms has become “horrific and inhumane,” and after the Ontario Hospital Association warned last week that a “huge spike” in population and aging residents is a major challenge for provincial health-care providers.

Yea we wouldn’t want elderly people stuck in hospital hallways for a day or two as happened to my Mom.
