Growth of food delivery platforms based on cheap, often immigrant, labour: Canadian study
Food delivery couriers and their e-bikes are fixtures in many neighbourhoods. From midday on, they gather on streets dense with restaurants. All this waiting time is unpaid. And even when orders do come in, couriers often spend more uncompensated time waiting for them, says Émile Baril, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Research on Migration and Society at Concordia University in Montreal.

Palestinian who raped a 13-year-old boy then beat him to death with an iron bar is among prisoners freed under hostage deal
A Palestinian man who raped a 13-year-old boy before beating him to death with an iron bar is among the prisoners to be freed by Israel under the hostage deal.
Ahmed Mahmed Jameel Shahada was put behind bards in 1989 after luring teenager Oren Bahrami to a monastery in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, before raping him and beating him to death.
Oren’s parents, from south of Tel Aviv, reported him missing in April 1989. Detectives working on the case initially suspected he had been kidnapped by terrorists, after finding his abandoned bike in a Jaffa port.
When Conservatives Win, Liberals See ‘Autocracy’: Obama Attacks Hungary and Poland
Former U.S. president Barack Obama has come under sharp criticism after describing Hungary and Poland as being “on the leading edge of confronting autocracy”—in what can only be described as a thinly veiled attack on conservative governments in Central Europe.
Ottawa science advisor says ridicule over UFOs discourages Canadians from reporting sightings
Canada’s top science advisor says years of mockery and skepticism around UFOs have made Canadians reluctant to report unusual aerial sightings.
Dr. Mona Nemer, the federal government’s $393,000-a-year science advisor, said in an internal memo that using the term “unidentified aerial phenomenon” instead of “UFO” could help reduce stigma and encourage credible research.

Carney has an obligation to better define his priorities for the Canada-U.S. relationship
TORONTO—For many decades, Canada attempted to escape restrictive American trade and other economic initiatives designed to advantage the United States by claiming a “special relationship” which, we argued, should mean an exemption for Canada. Reaction to the Donald Trump shock shows the idea isn’t dead.
One can’t help feeling, after watching Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump exchange pleasantries at the White House last week, that Canada is still relying on “special relationship” arguments to win exemptions from American protectionism, even if this means bowing too readily to their demands and offering “rewards” in exchange for special treatment. But when we argue “special relationship,” we are reduced to pleading.
I get the impression that Carney wants the distance between Canada and the US increased as it will create lucrative opportunities for his pals.
The Well-Deserved, Utter Humiliation of Palestinian Terrorists and Their Friends
There is a lot of rejoicing in America, Israel, and among normal people around the world about the peace deal in Gaza, but the Palestinian terrorist-huggers are heartbroken. And, of course, they should be. This isn’t really a peace deal. This is an utter capitulation, a total surrender by the losers of Hamas who have completely and utterly failed. They started a war and got their asses kicked, yet again. Their fight from the sewers, where they hid behind women and children, was not an example of brave resistance as they steadfastly endured victimhood. Every single misery that the Palestinians have suffered over the last two years was utterly deserved – in fact, they deserved much, much worse.
Jamie Sarkonak: Canada doesn’t owe the world’s children a passport
Anyone in the world can come to Canada, have a baby, and secure that child a lifetime of Canadian benefits along with a family link to this country for later chain migration. They don’t have to speak English or French; they don’t have to share our taboos against incest and rape; they don’t need to contribute anything to Canadian society. There are no guardrails.

TERRAZZANO: Taxpayers must cut through Carney’s budget spin and look at debt
What’s the most important tool used by shady financial advisers?
They use complexity and jargon to try to overwhelm you and sell you on something your better judgment knows you shouldn’t buy.

AI and water: The next frontier
The global water crisis has already begun, experts say, with the United Nations reporting that 2 billion people worldwide already lack access to clean drinking water and 3.6 billion without safe sanitation.
While the situation is expected to worsen, one variable has been cast alternately as savior and stressor for the world’s water supply: artificial intelligence.
CHARLEBOIS: Dear Ottawa, you can’t eat an electric vehicle
China rarely telegraphs its diplomatic intentions so openly. Yet in recent days, Beijing has done just that — signalling that if Canada were to lift its tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles China would, in turn, remove the punitive tariffs it has placed on Canadian agricultural exports such as canola.
In the often-opaque world of trade diplomacy, such clarity is unusual. And in this case, it’s an unmistakable invitation to de-escalate. So far, Ottawa seems unwilling to take it.
Not an enviable position for Canada. Will the Elbow people purchase China’s EV’s?
Trump is bringing auto-assembly back to the US so Ontario’s auto industry is going to be significantly diminished regardless of which path Carney chooses.
I’m sure Canada’s China class and Carney’s own web of interests will result in a decision favouring Communist China.
It will be interesting to see Trump’s reaction. Ontario will suck even more.
The EU Is Enabling Religious Persecution in Pakistan
Pakistan is engulfed in a deepening crisis of religious intolerance and systemic persecution. This year has witnessed a disturbing surge of violence, discrimination and institutional complicity. Christian, Ahmadiyya and Hindu communities have particularly been targeted.
Despite repeated calls for reform and international condemnation, Pakistan’s failure to protect its most vulnerable citizens has left a trail of shattered lives, desecrated places of worship, and a society increasingly fractured by hate.
