Soma, a fictional drug in Aldous Huxley’s novel “Brave New World”.

As an emigrant from a G7 country, I understand! Life is getting more difficult, more expensive, and more offending, and more dangerous in western countries. I believe it is already is all those things in other countries.

Arwe there any non-“solid state” battery for motorcycles? What is the generation principle?

Yeah, I saw your post. Too bad barrons is paywalled. I can’t refute nor support your statement.

Gee. Tough luck! A foreigner stopped at the border and questioned (not interrogated!) about the purpose of his visit. That’s what the CBSA is supposed to d. It was probably the first time they ever heard about the position of “UN special rapporteur”, and discovering he is a _former _ UN employee, privately investigating human rights violations raised some red flags. Anyway, the CBSA likely had no idea what to do about this man, so they kick it upstairs until it finally gets to Foreign Affairs (or whatever its called by this government). That takes some time. As the man said himself, the questions were not aggressive.
It is entirely normal for governments to inquire about the purpose of a visit. Even I have been asked. But I never said “to investigate human rights violations, like I used to do for the UN”! It would be irresponsible for any border agent to dismiss the issue.
He believes his delay (detainment?) is part of a “global push” (conspiracy?) to punish truth tellers. Full of oneself much?
Also, even a Canadian Senator needs an appropriate security clearance and a “need to know” before getting answers about why.
Finally the “Palestinian Tribunal” is merely a meeting of interested parties hoping to influence the Government of Canada’s policy towards the violence in Gaza. This whole incident is hardly newsworthy, but merely Canada protecting citizens and other visitors from harm.
So, yeah, tough luck.

Wear a buff or patterned mask when out in public. Its so acceptable since Covid, even ICE is doing it.

Homegrown pork belly? “Oxaro (the company currently administering the govt program) has now received $54.1 million and spent $36.3 million on administration costs, with just $18.1 million paid to injured Canadians”
This company is _ so _ good at administering that they spend one third of the budget on actual benefits! /s

Death by misadventure. RIP Steffan Skjottelvik, died doing what he choose to do.

Is it biological warfare?

No surprise it is found in the strings at the very core of reality.

It feels wrong to give stupid intolerant fascists your billions, knowing they can brick the jet, like that Polish railroad company.

We miss you Norm! You could keep Epstein front of mind for months! Maybe even a few years.

And we should build our own! Way easier than submarines or fighter jets!
