Canadian-owned company accused of supplying Syria’s chemical weapons program

A family business owned by Canadians, MHD Nazier Houranieh & Sons Co. calls itself a pioneer in the global metals trade.

European governments describe it more ominously: a supplier for Syria’s chemical weapons program.

Working from Damascus and Beirut, the company is accused of importing materials used to produce “chemical weapons delivery systems.”

I’m surprised Justin isn’t touting this family as an immigrant success story.

Daniel Penny faces up to 15 years on 2nd-degree manslaughter charge in chokehold death of Jordan Neely

A grand jury has indicted former Marine Daniel Penny for the chokehold killing of homeless man Jordan Neely during a subway confrontation last month, sources have told The Post — even as Penny’s attorneys vowed to “aggressively defend” their client in court.

The Wednesday decision — made by a group of jurors sitting in Manhattan — arrives weeks after Neely’s caught-on-camera death sparked a national firestorm over Penny’s actions and intense scrutiny of the floundering mental health system that failed to help his victim.

Star Gives Chow a Tongue Bath

Olivia Chow is the great organizer of the left. Can she be a unifying mayor?

Bob Gallagher’s voice catches telling the story, because even now, three decades later, the memory of the Metro council vote to grant health-care benefits to the same-sex partners of city employees is emotional.

Gallagher had a personal stake in the vote. He was then councillor Olivia Chow’s chief of staff and his partner had AIDS.

CSIS intended for Blair to read memo on Chong, director says

CSIS director David Vigneault said the spy agency deliberately sent a May, 2021, note warning about China’s targeting of a Conservative MP and his relatives to then-public safety minister Bill Blair’s office and intended for this information to reach the minister because it was considered of high importance.

The testimony from the head of CSIS appeared to be an effort to defend the spy agency as a Commons committee probes why Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong wasn’t warned of the 2021 intelligence collected by CSIS for two years.

A Liberal Cabinet Minister lying! Unheard of.

The 31-year-old, who is believed to have arrived in the country as a teenager and is not thought to be a refugee, is being questioned over the deaths of two students and a 65-year-old school caretaker – as well as the injuring of three others.

Rumours he may be a convert but nothing solid.

The Nuclear Theory You Never Knew Was Nonsense

Steve Milloy, long-time editor and founder of JunkScience.com, announced an explosive exposé this month in an extended article.  Government and private scientists in radiation safety have been attempting to cover up a pattern of misconduct and hijack the Health Physics Society, a professional organization of radiation safety experts and officials, to take down the society’s series of twenty-two videos featuring Dr. Ed Calabrese, which exposes a longtime scam in radiation safety matters.
