Picked up woman;s and drive off/TPS

Eglinton and Keele

Toronto Police tell the story Thursday of how a woman dropped the fob to her nice white Audi Q3 SUV only to see another woman stoop down and pick it up. Finders keepers apparently. The second woman leaped into the Audi and drove off, nearly hitting the frantic owner. We see the alleged SUV thief in a security capture released by the TPS. The vehicle was recovered but a wallet with cash and credit cards was gone. The woman is described as being in her 30s with a slim build. The incident occurred back in April near Eglinton Ave and Keele St. The delay in publishing the picture is not explained.

5G comes with more ugly towers

Tim Hortons has issued a release to say it has stopped selling Beyond Meat products at its coffee and doughnut shops across Ontario and BC. Reports are a little vague but it appears that demand can no longer justify the meat substitute burgers at the chain. Tim’s has been serving both the Beyond Burger and a Beyond Meat breakfast sandwich made with the company’s imitation sausage products. While the items had originally been available across Canada at nearly 4,000 locations, they were scaled back in September to just Ontario and BC. Now they’re gone completely.

The UK government will permit Huawei to participate in mind-boggling 5G network construction but with limits that prevent the Chinese telecom mammoth from stealing secrets. Phooey say many government MPs. There’s no controlling Huawei, they insist. Meantime, the CBC report below is about as scary as it gets on what Huawei might actually do someday. Meanwhile, the government is still thinking about 5G. Australia has already said no thanks to 5G Huawei.
