Well, Mary Ng is gone — and so is the $130 million in taxpayer dollars the former Liberal federal trade minister allocated to support women’s business start-ups and generate jobs … that never materialized.
Ng didn’t seek re-election in the Markham-Thornhill riding, but she did hang around long enough — a little past the required six years — to collect her handsome MP pension and trot off into the sunset. Well-earned?

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says temporary foreign workers are taking jobs from young Canadians while youth unemployment is high.
Poilievre made the comment today during a press conference in Charlottetown, several days after the government released mid-year immigration data.
On Monday, Poilievre said on social media the government had exceeded caps it set for temporary worker visas, and accused the government of being “out of control” on immigration.
It's time to start NAMING AND SHAMING businesses like @TimHortons that hire foreigners for entry-level jobs that could easily be done by young Canadians.

There’s a haunting quality to missing something you never experienced. The New York Times recently explored a strange but increasingly familiar phenomenon: Gen Z’s deep yearning for a time before the digital deluge — a kind of “historical nostalgia” for an analog world they never actually lived through. But this isn’t just wistful sentiment or vintage aesthetics. It’s something deeper. Something raw. Something that reflects not a desire to rewind, but a desperate need to re-ground.
Despite promises from the Liberal government that they would be curbing the sky-high immigration rates of the Trudeau era, new data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada shows that Canada is already on track to exceed its 2025 targets.
In the first seven months of 2025, Canada accepted 246,300 new permanent residents, according to data released last week by IRCC.
This was absolutely terrifying and I hope she got the support she needed to heal from this harrowing ordeal. pic.twitter.com/Fk31PRwPVi

The United States Department of Energy recently published a report, which essentially summarizes the U.S. government’s rejection of the 30-year-old, United Nations-centric, climate-alarmed consensus worldview.
Carney and his whole family are eco-nuts, especially when there’s profit to be had.
Profit that always translates to your loss without discernible benefit to anything or anyone beyond the connected.
I have a serious question. What happened to men? pic.twitter.com/Exo7N5A3vw

Here we are, a few decades of “mea culpa” following the Holocaust-oh, this will never happen again – oops-it is. It isn’t the Nazis or the white supremacists this time, although they are participating: Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson – it’s the Muslims. And unlike Germany with 40 million people, there are 2 billion Muslims. How the world cheers them on, including leaders from the West – Canada, France, Great Britain, Australia. The Palestinian Arab terrorist group Hamas has celebrated the Western countries for their decisions.
But there is one exception.
One leader, and he is hated by so many. That leader: Donald J Trump: President of the United States of America.

To build the energy systems needed to fuel growth, the U.S. will need to weigh choices and tradeoffs.
The adage “knowledge is power” could be recast: knowledge consumes power. Throughout history, the advance of knowledge has led to the invention of new products and services. These innovations inevitably increase energy consumption. With the invention of useful artificial intelligence (AI), we have another example of that truth.
AI-focused data centers, more than any other single factor, are driving growth in regional and national electricity demands at a rate not seen in a half-century. The boom has caused the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to more than triple its formerly tepid forecast for growth in U.S. power demand by 2030. The lower end of its growth estimate would be equivalent to adding about five times New York City’s peak power usage.
So I’m homeless and unemployed and it feels alright.
Why, you might ask? Because I’ve left Toronto. I have only the vaguest idea of where I’m going at the moment — I’ve been bouncing between various couches in several cities and provinces and the spare room at my mother’s place in rural New Brunswick for several months — but it’s a done deal. I’m not coming back this time. It hurts to leave the town I’ve called home for 27 years and all the deep personal and professional connections I’ve forged there. Make no mistake, though; I’ll live longer because of it. Toronto was killing me.
A lot of memories reside amidst the decline.
I find myself wondering what it will be like to pack up and leave TO.
My reasons are familiar to readers, this Star piece is more a personal lifestyle lament that ignores the real reasons for the decay of Toronto into 3rd World status.
The most vital fact that US President Donald J. Trump needs to take on board is that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no earthly chance of winning his war in Ukraine — unless, that is, Trump gifts the Russian despot a victory.
China will be among a collection of hostile states, which also includes Iran and North Korea, that will be taking a close interest in the outcome of the diplomatic initiative Trump began with Putin following their face-to-face meeting in Alaska earlier this month, to end the Ukraine conflict.
Toronto police have released only a few new details on the Barry and Honey Sherman murder investigation despite an Ontario judge’s strong suggestion that “shaking the tree” might help solve the nearly eight-year old case.
Following a Toronto Star application for increased transparency, police on Monday agreed to unseal minor references to Sherman cousin Kerry Winter and Sherman’s friend and business associate Frank D’Angelo. The references are contained in more than 3,400 investigative pages police have filed in court. About 40 per cent of the documents are still under seal.
Scram-tifa?
The far-left radical movement known as Antifa has been getting its own taste of cancel culture.
Just look at what happened on Aug. 19 in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood. Masked, fist-clenched agitators belonging to the anarchist collective turned up to sow chaos — but locals banded together to confront the troublemakers, telling them to get lost.
As Mark Carney visited Germany and Latvia on Tuesday, his point man on Canada-U.S. relations was in Washington trying to mend fences.
It’s a tall task even after last week’s decision to put the elbows down and rescind Canada’s counter-tariffs on American goods outside of the steel, aluminum and auto sectors. Carney still needs to change up his team.
Specifically, as I’ve said before, Ambassador Kirsten Hillman has to be replaced because source after source continues to describe her as an impediment.
