It was gone 42 minutes after it was unloaded from a plane arriving from Switzerland and transferred to a supposedly secure warehouse on the periphery of Toronto's Pearson airport, according to the statement of claim.

Submitted by admin on Fri, 2023-10-06 20:06 Section: Daily Dispatches8:19p ET Friday, October 6, 2023

Toronto's Glode and Mail today published a long essay by Christopher Pollon, a Vancouver-based journalist who focuses on the mining industry, arguing for prohibiting gold mining on account of the environmental damage it often does.
Toward the end of his essay Pollon acknowledges gold's monetary function but suggests that it could be sustained by digitizing unmined gold from certified reserves, creating another sort of digital currency like bitcoin.
