I’ve recently fallen in love with a TV series that aired before I was born. Before we get to any episodes from it, there’s the movie that inspired it. From 1948, here is The Naked City.

Protests by workers demanding back wages are spreading across China in a sign of growing discontent among millions suffering the brunt of factory closures, triggered by steep U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports amid an economic downturn.
Across the country – from Hunan province’s Dao county in central China to Sichuan’s Suining city in the southwest and Inner Mongolia’s Tongliao city to the northeast – hundreds of disgruntled workers have taken to the streets to protest about unpaid wages and to challenge unfair dismissals by factories that were forced to shut due to the U.S. tariffs.[…]
Analysts at U.S.-based investment bank Goldman Sachs estimated that at least 16 million jobs, across industries, in China are at risk due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of a 145% tariff on Chinese imports

Toronto Star- Inside the 905 — the ridings that helped deny Mark Carney a majority
Canada’s political polarization is acutely visible in the Greater Toronto Area’s suburban and rural ring — a diverse and fast-growing area of roughly 4 million people that spans Durham to Halton and has long been seen as a crucial, vote-rich battleground and bellwether for which way the country is politically moving.
With a serious language warning, but also a strong recommendation, this interview is a must watch!
It was recorded before the recent election. Too bad Pierre Poilievre didn’t have half as much passion as this Canadian military veteran.
Update: Related to this, is a small segment of the recent Winston Marshall Show, where Steve Bannon gives his take on the recent Canadian election.

Dan Knight- Carney Rejects NDP Deal While Poilievre Readies Comeback in Alberta Stronghold
But let’s cut through the nice-sounding verbiage. The reason Carney doesn’t want a deal with the NDP isn’t because he’s confident in his numbers. It’s because a formal pact would make his minority government look weak and dependent from day one. It would validate what everyone already suspects—that he can’t govern without cutting deals behind closed doors with a party that just got decimated at the polls.
Former Liberal MP Dan McTeague offers his thoughts on the future of Canada under a Carney government. In a nutshell, it’s not good.

Science Alert- After 856 ‘Snake Bites’, Man’s Blood Could Unlock Universal Antivenom
Self-taught venom expert Tim Friede has voluntarily injected himself with snake venom 856 times across 18 years. Now, in spite of the odds, Friede’s extremely dangerous hobby has led scientists to create the most widely effective snake antivenom on record.
Maisum Ansari, the owner of a Pickering home where 42 kilograms of the ultra-lethal synthetic opioid were discovered in 2017, was convicted in February 2023 and sentenced to 20 years for possessing firearms and 26 kilograms of carfentanil for the purpose of trafficking. In September 2023, Justice Steve Coroza of the Ontario Court of Appeal granted Ansari bail pending appeal, ruling that his proposed supervision plan and appeal grounds met the legal threshold.
But a newly surfaced 2024 ruling shows that on October 28, 2023—just weeks after his release—Ansari was arrested in a vehicle in Whitby shortly before 3:30 a.m. with suspected drugs and later pleaded guilty to obstruction and impersonation charges after lying to police about his name.
But wait there’s more…
At trial, toxicologist Dr. Karen Woodall described carfentanil as up to 100 times stronger than fentanyl and 10,000 times more potent than morphine, noting it had been implicated in numerous deaths.

Blacklock’s- Memo Admitted Drug Failure
Cabinet beginning in 2023 suspended enforcement of the Controlled Drugs And Substances Act in B.C. It permitted public possession of up 2.5 grams of narcotics, the first cabinet order of its kind since Parliament criminalized cocaine and opium in 1911. The experiment was to run three years but was cut short last May 7 after 15 months on complaints of public disorder.
Overdose deaths in the 15-month trial period totaled 3,313 compared to 2,843 in the 15 months prior to decriminalization, a 16.5 percent increase. Figures were drawn from the British Columbia Coroners Service.

One of the activities is to fill out a “power and privilege” wheel. These wheels, prepared and distributed by the Government of Canada, ask users to grade their “privileges” on everything from mental health to sexuality to skin colour. The most privileged identity, as identified by the wheel, is a white, able-bodied, heterosexual “colonizer/settler.”
