FBI Bioweapons Unit Seized Vials of Coronavirus the Chinese Army Shipped Toward a Minnesota Lab in 2018 — the Same Wuhan Network Tied to the Winnipeg Lab
WASHINGTON — More than a year before the pandemic, in the autumn of 2018, coronavirus material was carried covertly out of a People’s Liberation Army medical academy toward the Minnesota laboratory of a federally funded virologist, a man named Fang Li, who was permitted to work on “bat coronavirus DNA.”
Saving Memphis
In late 2025, Harvard Kennedy School professor Sandra Susan Smith expressed skepticism about the Trump administration’s decision to target a dozen American cities—including Oakland, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, New York, Portland, and Washington, D.C.—for temporary federal law-enforcement and National Guard deployments aimed at reducing crime and restoring order. Smith wondered “about what the consequences for deploying federalized forces are, especially for black and brown people in the cities that have been targeted for intervention.” She continued: “What seems clear to me is that the costs that are associated with this federal intervention will far outweigh the meager and very short-term benefits.”
One of the targeted cities was Memphis.
CHARLEBOIS: Canada’s internal-trade charade
Canada’s premiers raised a glass to internal trade last week. Nine provinces signed an agreement allowing licensed Canadian wineries, breweries and distilleries to sell directly to consumers across participating jurisdictions. Quebec and Yukon, which helped develop the framework, have not yet joined but say they are working toward implementation. British Columbia, meanwhile, will not have its full system operating until February 2027.
Why Trump and Congress Should Reject the US-Saudi Nuclear Deal
US President Donald J. Trump’s proposed civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia risks becoming one of the most dangerous strategic mistakes in recent American Middle East policy. Although supporters portray the agreement as a peaceful energy partnership designed to strengthen relations with a key Arab ally, the long-term consequences could be devastating. The agreement threatens to weaken decades of US non-proliferation policy, ignite a regional arms race, embolden America’s adversaries, and create security risks that future generations may be powerless to reverse.
Philanthropist behind Canadian human rights museum says family pausing funding over Palestinian exhibit
A Winnipeg philanthropist who played a critical role in bringing the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to the city says her family is pausing any financial support for the institution over concerns around an exhibit on the displacement of Palestinians.
Gail Asper said she found elements of the exhibit — titled Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present — compelling, from interviews with displaced Palestinians to artifacts including people’s property deeds and keys for their former homes.
‘Shut Up, Bruce’: Rock Legends Speak Out Against Springsteen’s Political Concert Lectures
On the heels of liberal artist Bruce Springsteen’s TDS-laden political rants during his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour earlier this year, two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends have spoken out against pushing political propaganda during shows. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger said fans should be entertained, not lectured, while Journey’s iconic pianist/keyboardist and songwriter Jonathan Cain was more blunt, insisting “The Boss” needs to “shut up” and sing.
Barely one-third of Toronto’s FIFA FanFest premium tickets sold, early data shows
Toronto sold barely a third of its premium FIFA Fan Fest Tickets, early data shows, potentially damaging a plan it launched to help manage escalating costs during the 2026 World Cup.
The Fan Fest events were held from June 11 to July 19 at Fort York Historic Site and The Bentway, screening soccer matches and hosting performances from bands and DJs.
Berlin Pride Attack: Organizers Worry About Islamophobia, Blame White Men
This weekend, in Berlin, a man named Abdul Ballout rammed his van into a crowd at a Pride festival in Berlin.
He was known to police as an Islamic extremist and had been convicted in both Lebanon and subsequently in Germany for trying to join ISIS and for planning a terrorist attack. Despite being an adult, he was tried as a juvenile and sentenced to…de-radicalization classes.
LILLEY: Mark Carney claimed he thrives in a crisis. His record suggests otherwise
Mark Carney sold himself as the leader Canadians would need in a crisis. After more than a year in office, voters are increasingly questioning that claim.
In fact, a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute shows that just 43% now believe Carney can deliver a good deal with the Americans, the thing he promised in the last election, down from 51% in April.
Nolte: Trump-hating ‘Reacher’ Star Alan Ritchson Self-sabotaged His Box Office Bomb ‘Motor City’
Alan Ritchson, the far-left Reacher star who used the promotion tour for Motor City to falsely accuse President Donald Trump of raping 13-year-olds, faced humiliating rejection over the weekend when his movie collapsed at the box office.
Although released in 1,600 theaters, Motor City grossed a pathetic $1.6 million in its debut. Its per-screen average was a laughable $1,015, placing it 18th in the per-screen-average derby.

A 23-year-old man from Aurora has been charged after allegedly driving through a playground and walking paths that were packed with children at a park in Ajax earlier this month.
Durham Regional Police said a call came in shortly before 6:30 p.m. on July 18 for a white Toyota sedan that was driving dangerously through Rotary Park on Lake Driveway West.
“The suspect vehicle drove through the playground, splash pad, and walking paths, which were filled with pedestrians, including young children,” police allege in a news release on Monday.

Most Suspects in 2026 Killings of Irish Women Were Foreign-Born
Official information on murders in Ireland so far this year indicates that, were it not for foreigners living in Ireland, the murder rate—at least of women—would be astronomically lower.

Trump’s economic attacks on Canada look like a shakedown. They are not — it’s a takeover
Any parent knows how the interrogation goes. You answer the first “why?” and a small voice says “but why?” You give another answer only to prompt another “but why?” By the fourth you’ve run out of reasons and blurted the real one you were hoping to keep to yourself. Rather than being difficult, children are just being thorough.
We should too. We should try it on Donald Trump.
I can’t see what he’d want with Toronto.
A Surprising Portion of Rent-Stabilized Apartments Go to NYC’s Wealthiest Renters
Renting a glitzy Manhattan apartment for half the market rate while raking in a six-figure salary is urban legend for most New Yorkers. But it is reality for a small class of renters, thanks to the city’s rent-stabilization law.
The best housing deals in New York City happen to go to some of the wealthiest renters in the area, according to The Wall Street Journal’s analysis of New York City’s 2023 Housing and Vacancy Survey, the most recent figures.
