Riots erupted overnight in parts of Montreal after pro-Palestinian, anti-NATO protesters clashed with police officers, smashed windows of businesses, and even set vehicles ablaze in the downtown area. Canadian English-language daily newspaper The Gazette, also known as the Montreal Gazette, reported that the protests coincided with the 70th Annual Session of NATO in Montreal, which kicked off on Friday and lasts through Monday. About 300 delegates from NATO member states and partner countries are expected to attend the weekend high-level event. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/justin-trudeau-watches-taylor-swift-while-riots-erupt-montreal

We're from the government and we are _NOT_ here to help you . . . FEMA Helicopters Block Greenville Airport Runway, Banning Aid Deliveries to Desperate Locals One witness on the ground described the scene: “Yesterday, they flew in over 30 planes with supplies for those in need. But today, FEMA flew in 10 helicopters and blocked the runway here at Greenville Downtown. They’ve taken over, and it’s outrageous.” Video footage from the airport shows several FEMA helicopters parked on the runway, with no sign of movement or efforts to assist in transporting relief. “The helicopters are just sitting there, doing nothing. Meanwhile, thousands of pounds of supplies are sitting untouched,” said another frustrated volunteer who had been working to organize private aid efforts. FEMA has reportedly taken over one of the hangars as well, further limiting operations and the ability of private pilots to continue their missions. “They’re halting the aid deliveries when every minute counts,” the volunteer continued. “This is about saving lives, not bureaucracy.” https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/fema-helicopters-block-greenville-airport-runway-banning-aid-deliveries-to-desperate-locals/

Last week, a liquor store in Seattle called Downtown Spirits became the first in the world to use Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology. An Amazon spokesperson clarified for Eater that the technology does not use biometric information but relies on a combination of computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning to allow stores to charge shoppers for what they pick off of shelves without having to go to a cashier. Previous Just Walk Out installations have used Amazon One devices for customers to scan their palm biometrics or a payment card on entry. Amazon is not the only entity introducing new tech to limit alcohol consumption among minors. 7-Eleven is jumping on the bandwagon. Its Australian stores plan to offer the My 7-Eleven App Pay and Go 2.0 which is expected to launch in 10 stores by the end of 2024. The app will be developed with Grabango and will leverage AI to enable customers the choice to skip the register, without the need to scan goods with their device, the companies said in an announcement. https://www.activistpost.com/2023/08/ai-use-grows-among-retail-stores-new-york-considers-biometrics-for-liquor-sales.html

Is this the life they envisioned when Justin Trudeau told them that Canada welcomes them? A large group of asylum seekers have been camping out on the sidewalk in downtown Toronto for weeks as shelter space has reached capacity. One third of shelter occupants in Toronto are migrants. Despite this clear sign that Toronto does not have the capacity to welcome more migrants, nothing seems to be changing. https://tnc.news/2023/07/17/ratiod-trudeau-migrant-tent-toronto/
