How are them elbows working out for ya?

Rogers Communications is offering voluntary departure packages to roughly half of its employees, in what is believed to be the largest round of buyout offers in Canada’s telecom sector in recent years.

Rogers said about 50 per cent of its roughly 25,000 employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages, according to the Globe & Mail.

“We are taking steps to adjust our cost structure to reflect the business realities of the current environment. As part of this, some teams have chosen to offer voluntary departure and retirement programs to give some employees the choice to decide whether they’d like to stay with the company or begin a new chapter,” said Rogers spokesperson Zac Carreiro in the report.

Boundary Dam Unit 4 fired up on April 22, and it’s more significant than you might think

Up until now, the coal-fired power refurbishment may have seemed like a lot of talk. On Wednesday, April 22, it became real. And that’s significant for a number of reasons.

Not the least of which is it is in total defiance of federal coal regulations. Saskatchewan is giving Ottawa the bird.

Where Would We Be Without “Insight”?

A Kitchener woman has been granted an absolute discharge following the second-degree murder of her infant son in 2020.

The incident took place on Aug. 9 at a home in Kitchener when the woman, who was experiencing a psychotic episode and auditory hallucinations, stabbed her infant son multiple times, resulting in his death.

She was arrested, but found not criminally responsible “on account of mental disorder” in April 2021 […]

At the hearing, the board noted that the woman had gained insight into the fact that she would need to take medication for the rest of her life and would abstain from the use of substances. The board added that she has “no violent ideation or significant behavioural instability.”

As a result of the hearing, she was granted an absolute discharge, meaning she has been found guilty with no penalty or fine, resulting in no criminal record.

Great moments in Liberal economics: This is akin to a man who’s in debt borrowing hundreds of thousands to buy stocks.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will announce plans to create a sovereign wealth fund Monday, a day ahead of the spring economic statement, according to a senior government official.

The fund will be used to invest alongside the private sector in major projects that the Carney government has committed to building over the coming years, and the government also plans to create a way for individual Canadians to contribute, the official said.

Mr. Carney will lay out the details of the fund at an event Monday in Ottawa, while Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne will have a separate event in Montreal.

The Globe and Mail is not identifying the official as they were not authorized to publicly comment on the pending announcement.

A sovereign wealth fund is a state-owned investment account that is typically independently managed.

Maybe they should name it something like “Canadian Infrastructure Bank”.

Conman Carney’s Canada:    This is happening in Canada.    The bought and paid for media.

The Democratic Party’s America:    Andrew Klavan –The phantom menace.    The third one.    Hollywood.    Our self-colonized nation.    Trump haters.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:    Trying to stifle free speech.    Moderate Muslim clerics in Gaza.    Muslim marriage.    The Armenian genocide.

Your morning cartoon.

New information dumps on a certain Los Angeles County “Teacher of Month”, including a now-deleted account at BlueSky (where the Better People gather to escape the dangerous speech policies of X).

Cole Allen, the gunman from last night’s WH Correspondents Dinner, maintained an active online presence, especially on the leftwing social media platform Bluesky where he went by the handle http://ColdForce.bsky.social with multiple references violence and guns.

In one post he calls President Trump the Antichrist.

In another he recommends buying guns in reaction to Trump’s DOJ exploring ways to ban firearm purchases from transgenders.

In one post he calls Trump a sociopathic mob boss and in another referred to him as a traitor with known connections to Putin, repeating a favorite leftwing Russian Hoax talking point.

He also attacks JD Vance for advocating an end to America’s funding the war in Ukraine and for his criticisms of the Pope. He seems pretty fixated on Ukraine more generally.

Of course, he had a manifesto.

Gone In 60 Seconds

Federal prosecutors say they have uncovered a large-scale vehicle theft operation in the Washington, D.C. region, one that allegedly relied on OBD-II tools and an export pipeline that stretched as far as Africa.[…]

According to officials, the group used handheld OBD-II scanners—readily available online—to bypass factory security systems. These tools can reprogram a vehicle to accept a blank key fob, allowing thieves to take a car without forced entry. Authorities say the process can be completed in under a minute.

“They don’t need keys and they don’t need hot wiring,” Pirro said. “No smashed windows, no drama. Just a sleek electronic device called an Autel, A-U-T-E-L. And in under a minute, the car’s brain is rewritten. The car is gone in 60 seconds. Welcome to the new world of car theft.”

Pirro also said there should be more regulation surrounding ownership of OBD-II devices.

Better yet would be regulation to end the ridiculous key fob. That a vehicle can be driven away without the fob being physically present may be the greatest automotive breakthrough since the decision to move the fuel pump into the gas tank.
