A wonder to behold as David Price pitched a superb game and Justin Smoak doubled to drive home Bautista. Jays lead the Yanks in the AL Esst by 3.5 games.

Volkswagen has apologized for what appears to be a rank attempt to lie to both the government and car buyers over the emission levels of VW cars with diesel engines. The apology applies both in Canada and the U.S. Das Fibbing involved software installed by VW to make it seem like the vehicles emitted less pollution than they really did during emissions testing. Really. It is an extraordinary bit of trickery that has VW in a lot of hot water with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Because of the stink, so to speak, VW has cancelled sale of diesel model cars in the U.S. and Canada. That includes the Jetta, Golf and Beetle.

Today Uber still pretends to be just a humble technology company which is eager to “work with” City Hall. So learn some humility. At City Hall too many people want to talk about the new technology and how it is unstoppable. No doubt. But the issue is not technology, it’s taxis. Unlike electronic book readers, also unstoppable, digital taxis are ripe for abuse unknown to your average Kobo. Toronto Star
