Shocking video published at New Year’s by a couple in Utah shows their son trapped under a fallen dresser, and his twin brother finally figuring out a way to help. The video is published on the Consumerist website and on YouTube by the parents.

Beijing is undergoing a dense smog that is said to making people deeply depressed. The video shows a time lapse of the creation of the smog. It looks a bit like a combination of the City’s terrible air plus a wave of sand from the Gobi Desert. Next, the heart-wrenching tragedy of people in lawless North Africa is seen in the attempt to smuggle a man in a suitcase into Spain’s African enclave and thence onto Europe. He suffered lack of oxygen and who knows what other deprivation. Millions are trying to flee Africa where Libya has been left in chaos by the Arab Spring debacle.

And in Mexico, there is growing apprehension that the Trump administration will stop or slow the billions in U.S. dollars sent back home by undocumented workers to their relatives.

A Whitby man who bought himself a Sony Playstation VR headset for Christmas and found only dirty laundry and a couple of water bottles inside is having a hard time convincing Walmart that his story is true. The man, P.J. Mazzonna, 21, used Christmas money from his family to buy the headset. It came in a sealed package from a locked display case. But Mazzonna says when he got it home there was nothing inside but a dirty T-shirt, two bottles of water, glass cleaner and a demo disc. He has been back to Walmart and the manager heard him out. But a few days later the manager called Mazzonna and suggested he was trying to scam the store. That’s pretty much where it stands, except Walmart says it is continuing to investigate. CBC

Mayor Tory has asked Premier Wynne to let TTC special constables to direct traffic and issue tickets. The open letter conveys the approval of this scheme by the TTC board on December 20. But any such extended power requires a change to the Highway Traffic Act and the Provincial Offences Act. In his letter, which is dated Jan. 2, Tory says he believes that giving the TTC’s 50 enforcement officers the power to direct traffic during service disruptions will “keep transit and traffic as a whole moving and ensure that TTC riders get more reliable service.” Tory also says that by giving TTC enforcement officers the power to direct traffic, Toronto police officers will be freed up top focus on “other key priority areas.” Special constables employed by GO Transit and Ottawa’s OC Transpo already have similar powers as the ones being requested by Tory.

As predicted, gasoline prices rose by five cents to 116.9 cents a litre at most Toronto area stations on Monday. Blame the strategy to save the environment. That’s what cap and trade tax is all about. The big plan is to make the cost of driving so expensive people will do it less or perhaps get rid of the car.
