This video may be the most memorable moment ever at a drive-thru in Alberta! Meet Magnum, the sweet-toothed steer who pulled into one Tim Hortons drive-thru Saturday morning in Sylvan Lake in central Alberta to pick up his favourite Timbits. Kelly Landry is originally from Quebec. She moved to Alberta last April and tells CityNews she’s been riding the eight-year-old steer since he was 10-months-old. “I just strap and go. When I know there’s something that could be dangerous I just talk and prepare myself and try to just distract him,” she explained. Landry says she used to take Magnum on adventures to local businesses and drive-thru’s when she lived in Quebec, and she’ll continue to do the same now in Alberta. “I just rode him two times in town. He’s been here since the end of October. I can take him to the grocery. I’ll try to go to the beach.” And whether Magnum is a local celebrity, she says, “I think he will.” The video of Magnum at Tim Hortons is going viral on social media. Landry says the reactions she received online and from locals were priceless. “Many were surprised and took pictures of him. Sometimes I let people go on him, more kids.”A California aerospace company that develops micro-satellite systems and infrastructure is expanding its operations to Littleton and is expected to create 141 net jobs. Astro Digital, which also considered locating in Utah, provides satellite mission and flight support for such applications as Earth observation and communications. Thursday’s announcement is the second in 10 days about an aerospace company expanding into Colorado. The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, OEDIT, announced Dec. 3 that Safran Electronics & Defense , a global equipment supplier for defense and space, will open a manufacturing facility in Parker to produce electric propulsion thrusters and locate a workshop for space telemetry ground equipment. Colorado’s aerospace industry is the country’s second-largest, behind California’s. Colorado has the highest per capita concentration of people in the aerospace industry, with 55,000 direct employees and another 184,000 employees who indirectly support the industry, according to OEDIT. “Colorado is at the center of the space ecosystem, and companies like Astro Digital advance our leadership every day,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement. The company expects to create 141 net new jobs at an average annual wage of $126,589, or 170% of the local average annual wage. The Colorado Economic Development Commission approved up to $1.9 million in a performance-based job growth tax incentive over eight years for Astro Digital, called Project Skyhawk throughout the review process. The company is based in Santa Clara, Calif. “The aerospace ecosystem and access to talent are major contributors in our decision to expand into Colorado,” Astro Digital CEO Chris Biddy said in a statement. The company’s decision to locate in Jefferson County “bolsters the quality jobs we seek for our residents, while building best in class satellite technology for the world’s most critical functions,” Jansen Tidmore, Jefferson County Economic Development Corporate President and CEO, said in a statement. The state economic development commission approved up to $371,751 in a job growth tax credit for Safran, expected to create 20 net new jobs in Colorado. The positions will include engineers, technicians, and operators. “Colorado’s leadership in aerospace innovation continues to attract world-class companies like Safran Electronics & Defense,” said Raymond Gonzales, president of Metro Denver Economic Development Corp.’s Colorado Space Coalition. Safran also considered Irvine, Calif., for expansion. Get more Colorado news by signing up for our daily Your Morning Dozen email newsletter.

Syria has been a hotbed of conflict and unrest for years, with the ongoing civil war causing immense suffering and displacement of millions of people. One of the central figures in this prolonged crisis has been President Bashar al-Assad, whose authoritarian rule and brutal tactics have led to widespread condemnation and calls for his removal from power. Recently, there have been rumors circulating about Bashar al-Assad considering stepping down from his position as the President of Syria.How do you explain the lack of street protests and the silence of political groups as one of the most controversial books published in independent India -Salman Rushdie’s 1988 novel 'The Satanic Verses' – returns to the country's bookshops after being banned for 36 years? The book, which is based on the life of Islam's prophet Muhammad, was banned by the Rajiv Gandhi government immediately after it was published. An international fatwa and a bounty were placed on the head of the author by the Iranian government, forcing him to go into hiding.The book, considered blasphemous by believers, still evokes extreme reactions. Rushdie, who had come out of hiding, was stabbed two years ago in New York, losing an eye in the attack. The book's release in India had triggered riots. However, reaction to news about the book's reappearance on the bookshelves has been muted.Dr Zeenat Shaukat Ali, former head of the Department of Islamic Studies at Mumbai's St Xavier's College, explained it: "The Muslim community has matured. Many things have happened in the last few years. There was a mindset that Muslims did not react (to events) logically. The reaction (to the book's reappearance) has been muted, which is the correct reaction. We are hurt, but we cannot react violently." Others who had seen the protests that led to the book's ban said that the Muslim community is now facing so many challenges, both politically and socially, that the book is another irritant. Farid Khan, president of the literary group Urdu Caravan, said that he had watched the protests in Mumbai and the police reaction to it. "At that time people felt that they had a friendly government that would listen to them. There have been so many events since then - the 1993 riots, the demolition of the Babri Masjid. People have seen worse things. A book looks irrelevant after all these," said Khan. Another reason for the tepid response to the book's return could be the four decades that separate the ban and the book's reappearance. The majority of the community have been born after the controversy. Nazim Ansari, 36, a human resource consultant, said he did not know about the book till he read recent news reports. "Young people are not familiar with the book," said Ansari. The government has not officially lifted the ban on the book but the order is now in legally untenable territory, the notification banning the book having been lost. Noting that no document exists to enforce the ban, the Delhi High Court said: “We have no other option except to presume that no such notification exists.”The book's publishers in India - Penguin Random House - have not commented about republishing a new edition. Manasi Subramaniam, the editor-in-chief at Penguin Random House India, the book’s publisher, quoted Rushdie on X, and posted: “‘Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true.’ At long last, @SalmanRushdie’s The Satanic Verses is allowed to be sold in India.”The book is not yet available on major e-retail sites. One online site has the book on sale for Rs 1714. Amazon's international portal sells the book but it is not available for shipment to India. The site, however, sells the Kindle edition. In Delhi, major book retailer Bahrisons said in a social media post that it is in stock, though the imported edition cost around Rs 2000. In Mumbai, the book is not available at major retailers.However, it may be too early to decipher the response to the book's sale. Maulana Yasub Abbas, general secretary of the All India Shia Personal Law Board, said he wrote to the Prime Minister on Thursday demanding a fresh ban on the book. "The book insults prophet Muhammad and his companions. Allowing its sale poses a threat to peace. The Prime Minister has to stop the sale," said Abbas Maulana Rashidi, legal advisor for the UP unit of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind (AM) reported as saying: "Religious sentiments cannot be hurt under the garb of freedom of expression guaranteed by the Constitution." Saeed Noori, president of Raza Academy, said it is regrettable that such orders are being issued by the court. "The government should take decisive action, but it seems that those in power influence court decisions based on their inclinations."Goalkeeper:
