From the New York Times to the Financial Times to the Wall Street Journal to the Atlantic, "left-leaning" columnists — many of whom have been covering Biden for years — admitted that the president didn’t just lose the debate: He confirmed his party’s greatest fears that his advanced age had rendered the election unwinnable for the Democrats if he remains their candidate. | |

The findings, published in Cell, reveal that the Wrangel population went through a severe bottleneck, reduced to just eight breeding individuals at one point. But the group recovered to a population of 200-300 within 20 generations, which appears to have remained stable until the very end. | |

Living to the age of six is remarkable – of three known examples of children born with Down syndrome in the Iron Age, none survived longer than 16 months. Other fossil records of inner ear abnormalities that affect hearing and balance belong to adults with features commonly resulting from infections, not conditions present at birth. | |

Tesla has issued two recalls on the Cybertruck, its third and fourth, since the model was introduced late last year.
The latest recall, which includes almost all of the nearly 12,000 trucks on the road so far, involves the truck’s huge single windshield wiper and a piece of plastic trim along the edge of the truck bed.
A piece of black plastic trim that runs along the edge of the truck’s angled bed wall can come loose and may detach from the vehicle while it’s being driven. | |

Geoffrey Gray investigates the writer’s bizarre cult and finds himself entangled in a web of murky financial dealings, sex, possible foul play—and one death-defying supernatural being. | |

Data drawn from labour market impact assessments — documents employers need to hire temporary foreign workers — shows the program is on the rise in a range of industries.
The program's growth coincided with the government loosening hiring restrictions to help businesses with post-pandemic labour shortages. Some economists criticized that move, saying it undermined healthy competition for workers in a market economy.
"All we hear about are labour shortages, [but] we have to begin to recognize that this really is a self-serving narrative mostly coming from corporate Canada," said Mikal Skuterud, a labour economics professor at the University of Waterloo.
For businesses, a major benefit is stability, as the workers' permits are tied to their employer, meaning they can't easily quit to work for a rival business down the street.
"It guarantees a worker will stay employed with them for the term of the agreement," says the Canadian Franchise Association on its website. | |
