ALTONA, MANITOBA - A trucker wanted for running a stop sign and killing a mother and her 8-year-old daughter was finally arrested after nine months on the run.

On August 21, 2025, at approximately 8:50 am, Navjeet Singh was arrested by Peel Regional Police and Canada Border Services Agency at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

Singh arrived in Canada on an Ethiopian Airlines flight following a 9-month Canada-wide Warrant for his Arrest.

On November 15, 2024, Pembina Valley RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Provincial Road 201 and Provincial Road 306, west of Altona.

A semi-trailer travelling eastbound failed to stop at the intersection with Provincial Road 306 and collided with a southbound SUV. The 35-year-old female SUV driver was pronounced deceased on scene and her eight-year-old daughter later died at hospital.

On November 20, 2024, RCMP charged Navjeet Singh, 25, of Brampton, Ontario, with Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Death x2 as well as Obstructing a Peace Officer.

Forgetfulness in midlife is often chalked up to stress or age. However, research shows blood pressure may be one of the clearest predictors of how well the brain is holding up.

In the first major update of the U.S. hypertension guidelines since 2017, the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology urge doctors to act sooner, treating even modest elevations as threats to both heart and brain health.

The goal, Dr. Daniel W. Jones, chair of the guideline committee, said in a statement, is to give doctors and patients earlier, more tailored strategies to help ease the toll of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and dementia.

"High blood pressure is the most modifiable risk factor for stroke and brain complications," Dr. Shyam Prabhakaran, neurology chair at the University of Chicago, told The Epoch Times. "It affects the brain in silent ways. The brain doesn't regenerate, so over decades, those injuries take a toll. That's why putting brain health at the forefront of these guidelines is so important."

The Silent Threat to the Brain
High blood pressure scars the brain's white matter, changes that appear on MRI scans decades before memory loss. These hidden injuries are among the strongest predictors of dementia.
"High blood pressure sends force into the brain's smallest arteries," Prabhakaran said. "They're not designed to handle it, so they thicken, break, or leak. That leads to silent strokes, white matter damage, even microbleeds—long before memory problems appear." A silent stroke is one that causes real brain damage but no obvious symptoms at the time.

Nearly 16 percent of dementia cases worldwide—about 9.5 million people—are linked to hypertension, a 2023 analysis found. Warding off dementia by just five years could cut new cases in half, translating to extra years of stronger memory and greater independence.

A Johns Hopkins study of more than 13,000 adults found that having high blood pressure in midlife was linked to faster cognitive decline over the next two decades. Those who kept their numbers in check experienced less decline as they aged.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. raised the alarm earlier this year about the meteoric rise of reported autism cases in the United States, underscoring at a press conference, "We are doing this to our children, and we need to put an end to it."

"The [autism spectrum disorder] prevalence rate in 8-year-olds is now 1 in 31," said Kennedy, referring to a study that examined children born in 2014. The health secretary noted further that American boys face an "extreme risk" of ending up with autism, stating that they have a 1 in 20 chance of being diagnosed with the condition — or a 1 in 12.5 chance in California.

Kennedy promised President Donald Trump during a Cabinet meeting in April that "by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures."

A study published this month in the peer-reviewed medical journal BMC Environmental Health could prove valuable to the Department of Health and Human Services' campaign to narrow down the possible causes of autism.

Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, University of California Los Angeles' School of Public Health, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai systematically reviewed 46 "well-designed" studies incorporating data from over 100,000 participants regarding the relationship between neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and prenatal exposure to acetaminophen.

Acetaminophen, the drug sold under the brand Tylenol in the United States and Canada, is the most common over-the-counter pain and fever medication used during pregnancy and is reportedly used by well over 50% of pregnant women worldwide.

The researchers found that 27 of the studies reported "significant links" between acetaminophen exposure in the womb and NDDs and noted that "higher-quality studies were more likely to show positive associations."

"Overall, the majority of the studies reported positive associations of prenatal acetaminophen use with ADHD, ASD, or NDDs in offspring, with risk-of-bias and strength-of-evidence ratings informing the overall synthesis," said the study.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury in May on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of the law.

Dugan, relieved of her duties as a judge in April by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, allegedly helped Eduardo Flores-Ruiz — an illegal alien from Mexico charged with three misdemeanor counts of battery — get away from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the alien's pre-trial April 18 appearance in her courtroom.

Dugan has since fought desperately to avoid accountability for her alleged crimes, which were apparently caught on courtroom cameras and could land her up to six years in prison.

Cheyenne Wyoming and its residents will soon be inevitably remade as a mysteriously unclaimed — but enormous, and enormously expensive — data center begins construction in the small Wyoming city. It's estimated that the installation will consume twice the electrical power presently pulled down by the entire state of Wyoming. Without elaborate recycling and efficiency measures, it could consume as much as 124 billion gallons of water per year.

If they need that much water for cooling why not build it at the North Pole instead. Just open the window and you've got all the cooling you need.
