Most terrorist financing stays hidden — moving through shell companies, informal transfer networks, and charities existing only on paper. There is, however, a category of terrorist financing that operates in the open, written into legislation and funded through public budgets. These are the structured payment programs known colloquially as “pay-for-slay” programs.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged devastating missile and drone strikes on each other’s capitals last week. Ukraine dazzled the world with its onslaught of jet-powered drones over Moscow, which destroyed the city’s main oil refinery, but Russia also demonstrated that despite Western sanctions and consistent drone strikes on key industrial facilities, it’s managing to produce a growing arsenal of ballistic and cruise missiles with improved precision, targeting, and guidance systems — which could be shared with Iran.
Canadians often wonder why food costs so much. Many economists are quick to blame U.S. President Donald Trump, climate change, global supply chains, exchange rates, or other external forces. These are convenient explanations and, in some cases, legitimate ones. But while these factors matter, many of the reasons behind Canada’s persistent food affordability problem are far less visible. Some are buried deep within regulatory and administrative processes that rarely attract public attention.

WASHINGTON — Microsoft founder Bill Gates revealed in a congressional interview the identities of the two Russian women with whom he had affairs — and the notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein later tried to “blackmail” him over, according to a transcript released Tuesday.
Gates was grilled before the House Oversight Committee on June 10 about Epstein’s “attempt to blackmail” him over the infidelities — which the billionaire’s wife, Melinda French Gates, also learned about at the time — and which he confessed to employees at his philanthropic foundation earlier this year.
A Barrie judge acquitted Michael Evaristo of gun and drug charges Tuesday afternoon citing “serious” breaches of his Charter rights during an April 2022 downtown traffic stop.
A jubilant Evaristo, 45, walked out of the Barrie courthouse a free man, with his arms raised, after being found not guilty on all charges due to what Justice Nancy Dawson described as an “unlawful arrest and detention” and subsequent illegal search of his pickup truck while he was suspected of drunk driving.

Denmark’s immigration minister has announced plans to ban the Islamic call to prayer, claiming parts of the country felt like “a suburb of Islamabad”.
Morten Bødskov, a member of the centre-Left Social Democrats party, said the new government would resume an investigation into the legality of imposing a ban.
“The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops,” the minister told Danish news outlet Ritzau. “It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn’t be in any doubt whether you’ve ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark.”
