Driverless delivery vehicles set to hit Toronto streets this spring
Driverless delivery vehicles are set to hit Toronto streets this spring as part of a provincial pilot program.
In a report to the city’s infrastructure and environment committee, Barbara Gray, general manager of transportation services, said the program, run by Magna International Inc., will begin at some point in the second quarter of 2025.
England’s football governing body has determined that transgender women will be barred from playing in women’s football from June 1, 2025.
“Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women’s football in England, and this policy will be implemented from 1 June 2025,” the Football Association (FA) said in a statement.
During election night coverage, some CBC pundits dropped much of the pretense of impartiality as soon as an “at least Liberal minority” was predicted shortly after 10 p.m. ET. At this point, the national broadcaster’s hosts and commentators could breathe a sigh of relief that they wouldn’t be delivering their own eulogy.
The long-awaited minerals deal signed on Wednesday between Ukraine and the United States has given Kyiv a much-needed boost of confidence in Washington’s long-term support.
It could also make it harder for President Trump to force Ukraine into a peace deal with Russia that Kyiv sees as damaging to its national interests.
The problem with Prime Minister Mark Carney saying he wants to make Canada an “energy superpower” in both conventional and clean energy is that Canada is already a superpower in conventional energy.
We’re the world’s four largest producer of oil and fifth largest producer of natural gas.
The problem is that when it comes to exporting our oil and natural gas to anywhere but the U.S., we’re a 10-pound weakling.
President Trump is replacing national security adviser Mike Waltz roughly a month after he put a journalist on a group text chat in which advisers discussed a sensitive military operation, according to people familiar with the matter, making him the first top official to lose his job in Trump’s second term.
Waltz lost favor with the president and his senior advisers after The Atlantic revealed that he added a journalist to a chat on the nongovernment messaging app Signal, a crisis that dominated headlines and became one of the first major embarrassments for the administration. Trump declined to fire Waltz immediately, but privately expressed his frustration with Waltz.
As Mark Carney closed out his victory speech on election night, he reminded Canadians — as he did through much of the campaign — of the challenges posed by the ongoing tensions with the U.S. administration.
“We will build an independent future for our great country,” he said to the crowd. “Vive le Canada.”
But after touting himself as the best candidate to handle U.S. President Donald Trump, Carney’s Liberals lost key seats on the front lines of the trade war — seats that, had they won, could have pushed the party into majority territory.
People know Carney is a carpetbagger.
Never forget about this picture of me, with Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
I am a lot closer to the Trump family than I made you believe.
I just successfully manipulated millions of Canadians. pic.twitter.com/to0BEzomE5

So much for elbows up.
But not surprising Donald Trump praises Mark Carney.
After all, Carney sold out our jobs to Trump and he’ll do it again.
Only @PierrePoilievre & Conservatives will be unflinching in fighting for our workers, unleashing our economy & protecting Canada. pic.twitter.com/MZeqZDu3oc

The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) has always denied being an extremist organisation, yet there can be little dispute as to the extremist views of its most “significant” director.
Anas Altikriti, who was president of the MAB from 2004 to 2005, has described the mass slaughter and rape of Israeli citizens on Oct 7 2023 as “a lie” and called the taking of hostages “a very important part” of any “act of resistance”.
The MAB has tried to distance itself from Mr Altikriti, saying he “does not speak for, nor represent the views of the MAB”.
As Mark Carney settles into the role of Canada’s prime minister, he will not only have to take on US President Donald Trump, but also wider divisions within his own country.
Among those is a generational divide, with young voters who are concerned about housing unaffordability, crime and the cost of living coalescing around the Conservatives.
It’s a reversal from 2015, when youth voted in record numbers, helping sweep Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau to power.
This total and blatant racial inversion of reality is part of the GenoPsyop, the media psyop designed to cause White people to passively accept their planned genocide. https://t.co/Arql6uVy43

When Alberto Salagan was deported from the US in January it was the first time he’d stepped foot in Mexico since he was a baby.
Born in the coastal resort of Acapulco, his parents took him to the US when he was just six months old.
Growing up in California, he was seduced by the false glamour of gang life.
It was a wholesale rebuke of Donald Trump. But Republicans are shrugging off the Canadian election results — a race that favored conservatives until it became a referendum on the president — as a warning sign for their party.
The cementing of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party into power on Monday served as an expression of Canadians’ deeply felt anger about the president’s tariffs and annexation taunts. It was evidence of an electorate turning against conservatives in a neighboring country — one Trump has suggested should be the 51st state — when Trump became involved. But on this side of the border, GOP strategists, pollsters and party leaders said they were unbothered by the outcome and dismissed any trouble that may lie ahead for Republicans in the midterms.
A Republican senator has backed Donald Trump to become the next pope.
Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina senator, urged the papal conclave to “keep an open mind” about Mr Trump when it gathers to select the next head of the Roman Catholic Church next month.
Mr Graham, a frequent golf partner of the US president, said in a tongue-in-cheek X post that he was “excited” about the idea but conceded Mr Trump would be a “dark horse candidate”.
And just like that, Canada’s long-awaited, much-analyzed federal election has come and gone. The still-somewhat-smoky scene this morning reveals a much different political landscape, with Mark Carney’s Liberals holding onto a minority (we think) government, the Conservatives growing their support and gaining key seats (though losing one particularly important one), and the NDP nearly wiped off the electoral map and losing official party status altogether.
Elon Musk launched a war against US federal employees working from home but is no longer based at the White House complex and mainly stays in touch by phone, President Trump’s chief of staff revealed.
Musk pledged to “significantly” cut back his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) after a 71 per cent drop in profits at Tesla as opponents shunned his electric vehicle company.
