While the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force operates the Chengdu J-20, the world’s third operational fifth-generation stealth aircraft after the United States’ Lockheed Martin-built F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, it had...

*WNU Editor:* Decided to take it easy today and do my Christmas shopping. It was a surreal experience. The stores in downtown Montreal are empty. There is no street traffic.

Clothes', shoes, coats, gloves. Everything is super cheap. A Kanuk winter coat that normally goes for $900 was marked down to $300. I had to restrain myself from not going crazy and buying everything. It looks like everyone is pos...

In order to stay above water, institutions are making drastic decisions – implementing hiring freezes and pay cuts, trimming personnel via furloughs and layoffs, and leaving several employees without cost-of-living adjustments for the foreseeable future.
