Ottawa would have to report to Parliament every month on the number of foreign nationals who have been deported, including those with criminal convictions, under changes to the government’s border bill pushed through by the Conservatives.
A slew of amendments to Bill C-12, including boosts to immigration enforcement, passed in a marathon meeting of the Commons public safety meeting on Tuesday evening, where MPs scrutinized the bill until midnight.
We can hope the number will not be zero …

The death toll from a massive fire that broke out at a residential apartment complex in Hong Kong has risen to 55, as firefighters continued to battle the blaze, among the deadliest in the city’s modern history.
Hong Kong authorities said Thursday 51 people had been found dead on the scene, bringing the death toll to 55, including four others who had been brought to the hospital.

Ontario colleges and universities have been hit with more than $4.6 billion in lost revenues amid the drastic cuts to international students, new post-secondary figures obtained by the Star show.
And with Ottawa just announcing even fewer foreign students for 2026, for universities alone the impact is expected to increase from the $2.1 billion blow they are already dealing with.
The new numbers have the province’s universities now warning they “cannot cut their way out of these growing fiscal challenges.”
Boo Hoo. The bill for greed and incompetence has come due.
Alberta and Ottawa have signed a sweeping new energy accord that Premier Danielle Smith says marks a “new starting point for nation building,” including a pledge from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government to shelve its oil and gas emissions cap, suspend clean power rules, and back a major indigenous-owned pipeline to get oil to Asian markets.
The agreement, signed Wednesday, clears the way for a privately financed, indigenous co-owned bitumen pipeline capable of moving more than one million barrels per day to a deep-water port on the Pacific coast.

At a press conference on Capitol Hill last week, a pink inflatable frog held aloft a banner chastising President Trump for not releasing the Epstein files.
Unbeknown to the casual observer, the protester inside the costume has been photographed at most of the history-making moments of the past decade.
Driven by a personal animus for Trump and his policies, Nadine Otego Seiler has travelled the length and breadth of the United States, holding her homemade signs at what likely tops more than a thousand demonstrations since he first took office in 2017.

Manufacturing has plunged to its lowest share of employment in Ontario — below 10 per cent — since that data was first collected in 1976, a report by the Financial Accountability Office has found.
The fiscal watchdog warned the province continues to face economic uncertainty as workers in the automotive, machinery and metal products sectors grapple with 20,600 fewer jobs compared to two years ago.
In 2005, jobs in manufacturing accounted for 17 per cent of employment in Ontario.
A California immigration judge wept after being abruptly fired mid-asylum hearing, making her the latest victim of the Trump administration’s deportation crackdown.
Shuting Chen, 41, of San Francisco, was halfway through a hearing on Friday for three Venezuelan siblings who had fled persecution and waited years for their day in court when an email labeled ‘Notice of Termination’ flashed onto her screen.
Good.
She is not a judge, she is a rubber stamp.
Good riddance!https://t.co/YGv0X5u4YV pic.twitter.com/eHMH0cM2e8

There is every indication that Carney is as anti-oil as his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, despite all his talk of building an energy superpower
The federal government will do nothing to get a pipeline built. That much is clear from the advanced reports about what is in the MOU (memorandum of understanding) that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are expected to sign Thursday in Calgary.
Once Alberta has everything in place (constitutional, Indigenous, environmental, regulatory and financial), then the Carney government will consider giving the pipeline to their Major Projects Office (MPO).
President Trump’s attempt to create an unstoppable momentum towards peace in Ukraine appears to have run into a dead end after the Kremlin signalled that it was in no mood to make concessions.
Despite days of whirlwind diplomacy involving American, European, Russian and Ukrainian officials, Moscow has shown no sign that it is interested in any kind of deal that does not meet all of its demands.
The City of Toronto’s shelter system is still guided by radical policies that encourage the city to hire active drug addicts to staff their programs, push for drugs and drug kits to be provided in abstinence-based facilities and even require that all shelters with children residing in them provide drug services.
A reasonable person would think that these sorts of wrongheaded policies, to the degree that they existed at all, would have been phased out by now. After all, the provincial Ford government has wisely moved to close public sector drug injection sites close to schools and daycares and is pivoting towards programs that push for treatment over maintaining addictions.
A group of Muslim and interfaith leaders are urging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, to reverse his proclamation designating the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a “foreign terrorist organization.”
Texas’ designation is state-level only. It does not carry the legal force of a federal Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) listing, which only the U.S. State Department can issue. Abbott’s proclamation, therefore, does not trigger federal terrorism penalties or authorities.
