CHARLEBOIS: Permanent daylight time could change how we eat

The United States is once again trying to put an end to the ritual of changing the clocks twice a year.

The House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent, leaving the Senate to decide whether Americans should remain on summer time throughout the year.

Inside the Orwellian world of Germany’s free speech crackdown

Dr Rainer Zitelmann doesn’t even remember posting the meme on social media that nearly landed him in prison.

“When I opened the letter from police, I thought it was a misunderstanding,” Dr Zitelmann, a German historian and author of about 30 books, told The Telegraph.

Berlin police told Dr Zitelmann he had been accused of violating a post-Second World War law that bans the display of Nazi symbols, slogans and imagery – and could now face three years in prison if found guilty.

Fintrac flags ‘high-risk’ Canadian crypto shops knowingly helping to launder funds for organized crime and Iran-linked groups

A broad swath of crypto businesses in Canada are intentionally acting as conduits for money laundering, Iran-linked sanctions evasion and organized crime, the federal anti-money laundering watchdog has found.

The alarming conclusion is contained in an internal briefing from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (Fintrac), authored around the time the Star and media partners published articles exposing unlawful practices by operations known as over-the-counter (OTC) cash desks or crypto-to-cash services.

Canada is the 3rd World with maple syrup and that may be counterfeit.

‘Everyone’s afraid to die’: Struggle to recruit soldiers in Ukraine turns violent

Vasyl Krupych knows what it is to fight for Ukraine.

He describes terrifying scenes from battles in the eastern Donbas region where, sometimes praying, sometimes crying, the machine gunner somehow survived the onslaught by Russian troops.

But last December, by then serving in the rear, Krupych was attacked by his own countrymen whilst out searching for draft dodgers.

Government tip-off prompted spy agency to look into federal scientist, CSIS says

The country’s top spy agency says Natural Resources Canada approached it with concerns about former federal scientist Dennis Lu more than two decades ago, not the other way around — and has made a rare disclosure of one of its documents in court to set the record straight, CBC News has learned.

There are also new details about part of the reason for a 23-month delay between the last Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) briefing about Lu to his employer in February 2021 and the start of Natural Resources’ internal investigation into Lu in January 2023.

US expands Iran offensive as diplomats claim talks ongoing

The US has expanded its aerial offensive against Iran, hitting a city hosting a nuclear power plant, while Iran has responded with strikes on Bahrain and Kuwait, as diplomats insist talks are ongoing.

Iranian media on Monday reported strikes around Tabriz, believed to hold underground missile bases, as well as Bushehr, home to the country’s only operational civilian nuclear power plant as the US military said it had struck “military command centers, air defence and coastal surveillance sites, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites and communications networks”.

Iran launched attacks against Bahrain, which hosts the US navy’s fifth fleet, and Kuwait, in addition to striking tankers in the strait of Hormuz, which carried a fifth of global oil and gas supplies before the war.

First Nations Opposition to Pipeline Proposal Puts Carney Between a Rock and Hard Place

Much of whether Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plan to fast-track economic growth through his Major Projects Office will bear fruit or remain forever aspirational will depend on how he manages negotiations with indigenous groups. The tone from and resolutions released by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) at its recent annual gathering in Ottawa don’t bode well for the federal government.

Always.

Could China and Russia really destroy Starlink? Only with a boomerang.

One week ago, three widely respected European news outlets published the results of an investigation into what they described as a “joint plan” by China and Russia to “defeat Elon Musk’s Starlink.”

The story was the product of a long-running inquiry by The Insider, Der Spiegel, and Le Monde. Reporters at those publications said they reviewed a cache of documents detailing growing military cooperation between China and Russia. The documents covered discussions between the nuclear powers on integrated air and missile defense systems, autonomous “swarm” loitering munitions, next-generation armored vehicles, and military aviation, the report said.

Heat pump households face winter warmth rationing

Heat pump households face winter warmth rationing as the drive to net zero raises increasing fears of blackouts.

By the end of next year, electricity suppliers will be able to remotely turn down heat pump central heating to help Britain’s energy system cope with high demand.

Suppliers are expected to do so on the instructions of the quango responsible for coordinating the grid, which is overseen by Ed Miliband’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).

Of course Carney is BIG on Heat Pumps.

Lutnick boasts U.S. will get 50% of net revenue on Gordie Howe Bridge, calls it ‘Art of the Deal’

Amid the confusion over precisely what deal Canada struck with the U.S. to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has weighed in on social media with his own calculations.

“The USA struck a great deal with respect to the Gordie Howe Bridge,” he wrote in a social media post on Saturday. “Before this deal we got NOTHING. Now, the U.S. gets 50% of net revenues until 2041 and a say in setting the tolls. Our share is before interest and principal.”

Polish prosecutors have charged an 18-year-old Ukrainian citizen, identified as Illia K., with carrying out 47 criminal acts on behalf of Russian intelligence in an alleged effort to inflame tensions between Poland and Ukraine.

A Jamaican migrant in Toronto follows, harasses and intimidates a group of Canadian women in a park who are trying to do a photo shoot. When they ask him to stop, he just gets louder, more belligerent and ends with sexual threats as he finally walks away.
