2 dead following three-vehicle collision in Stoney Creek Sunday
A driver and passenger are dead following a three-vehicle collision in Hamilton's Stoney Creek area early Sunday, police say.
Shortly after midnight, officers responded to a collision on Upper Centennial Parkway between Mud Street E. and Green Mountain Road, Hamilton Police Service said in a news release Sunday.
According to police, a Ford pick-up truck travelling south collided with a Chevrolet pick-up truck also going south. The driver of the Ford then struck a Kia travelling north head-on.
The Kia's driver and passenger were pronounced dead on the scene. The Ford driver went to hospital with "non-life threatening injuries" while the Chevrolet driver was uninjured, police said.
Early Sunday, police said the road would be closed for several hours while they investigated. By about 9:50 a.m., it re-opened.
The police's collision reconstruction team ask any witnesses to come forward, and request that people with dashcam or security-camera footage share that with them.

Liberal government legislation to further tighten Canada-U.S. border expected today
OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree is expected to introduce a bill today spelling out the federal government's next steps on border security. The recent throne speech promised legislation to bolster security at Canada's borders and new tools for police and intelligence agencies to help them stop the flow of deadly fentanyl and its precursors. The government also said the Canada Border Services Agency will be given new powers to examine goods destined for export to prevent the movement of illegal and stolen products, including cars. The Liberals have worked to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump that Canada is doing enough to stem the southbound flow of drugs and migrants since he blamed fentanyl and irregular migration to justify tariffs on Canadian imports. The new bill will build on earlier Canadian measures, including round-the-clock surveillance of the border using helicopters, drones and surveillance towers. Ottawa is also working with Washington on a North American "joint strike force" to target organized crime groups that work across borders.

Study finds common dietary supplement can flush out toxic forever chemicals from your body
Eating a fibre supplement derived from oats before each meal could flush out toxic forever chemicals from the body, a new study suggests. Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, commonly known as forever chemicals, are widely used to make products like non-stick cookware, cosmetics, stain-resistant fabrics, firefighting foams, food packaging, and waterproof clothing. They persist in the environment for hundreds of years and are increasingly linked to a range of health conditions in humans, including decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, and a higher risk of some cancers. Scientists have been seeking ways to remove them from the body and the environment or degrade them into harmless compounds. 'Despite the growing concerns about the toxicity of PFAS, specific interventions to reduce PFAS levels in the body are limited,' the study notes. 'Current clinical treatments to reduce PFAS body burden are minimal.' Previous studies have shown that beta-glucan fibre molecules found in oats, barley and rye can bind to PFAS in the digestive system. The latest study, published in Environmental Health, finds that consuming a dietary supplement with beta-glucan fibre could significantly reduce PFAS levels in the body. Researchers recruited 72 Canadian men aged 18 to 65 with detectable levels of PFAS in their blood and fed 42 of them a diet supplement of one gram of oat beta-glucan, a type of soluble gel-forming fibre, before each mealtime, when the body produced the most bile. The remaining 30 participants received a placebo made of rice. 'Serum samples were collected from 72 participants in 2019-2020 at baseline and after four weeks of the intervention and were analysed for 17 PFASs,' the study states. After four weeks, researchers found a nearly 10 per cent drop in two of the most dangerous PFAS types in people who took the oat fibre supplement. The two forever chemicals, known as PFOA and PFOS, have been detected in drinking water, food packaging and cosmetics, and they can build up in the body over time. Although the results are modest, scientists say the findings offer a first step to formulating a dietary intervention for removing PFAS from the body. 'Results from this pilot analysis suggest a potentially practical and feasible intervention that may reduce human body burdens for some PFASs,' they say. 'However, studies utilising a larger sample with a broader range of serum concentrations, longer intervention period and clinically relevant fibre intakes are needed to determine the efficacy of using gel-forming dietary fibres to increase PFAS excretion.'

Ford Recalls 1.1 Million Vehicles Over Faulty Rearview Camera
Ford (F, Financials) is recalling 1,075,299 vehicles in the United States due to a software malfunction that may freeze the rearview camera display, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The issue could distort the driver's view while reversing and increase the risk of a crash. The affected models span the 2021 to 2025 production years and include a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles such as the Bronco, F-150, Mustang, Edge, Expedition, Transit, Mach-E, Escape, Ranger, as well as Lincoln's Navigator, Nautilus, and Corsair. Ford has received one report of a minor crash involving property damage but said no injuries have been reported. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with F. To address the issue, Ford will issue a free software update to affected vehicles, either through a dealership visit or via an over-the-air update. The automaker plans to send initial notification letters to vehicle owners beginning June 16, with a follow-up letter confirming when the remedy is available, expected between July and September. Ford has assigned recall number 25S49 to the case. Owners seeking further information can call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 or visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website at which has listed the recall as number 25V-315. This marks the latest in a series of safety-related recalls for the Detroit automaker. Earlier this year, Ford recalled approximately 274,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles due to improperly installed front brake lines, which could reduce braking performance. In a separate safety development, Ford is also recalling 29,501 F-150 Lightning battery electric trucks from the 2024 and 2025 model years due to a potentially detached control arm that may cause a loss of steering. In November 2024, NHTSA fined Ford $165 million for delays in recalling vehicles with known rearview camera defects and for failing to comply with federal disclosure requirements. Regulators said Ford's failure to provide full information violated the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act, adding regulatory pressure to the company's recent quality control efforts.
