A man who threatened to bomb all of Toronto’s synagogues and “kill as many Jews as possible” has been convicted of two criminal offences, Global News has learned.
… Reached by Global News, Akbari called the witness a liar and said he had only spoken about closing “stupid casinos.” He denied even knowing what a synagogue was.
“It’s a prayer place, I guess, something like that,” he said.
The left-wing media went into overdrive on Monday following a report by Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic that he was mistakenly included in a chat on Signal with senior Trump administration officials. Goldberg claims that the top national security officials were coordinating a military strike through the group chat.
Perhaps we should thank Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for being so clear. We are often told that this or that election is the most important in our lifetime; sometimes, it also has the virtue of being true.
And this Canadian election campaign is taking place in truly dangerous times. The Trump administration is an enemy of a free and sovereign Canada. The threats to annex our country, via economy-crippling tariffs or other cudgels, are real. Foreign interference has never been easier, with a more sinister goal.

Disney’s Snow White is churning out empty cinemas, according to X users who shared embarrassing photos showcasing the film’s screenings resulting in zero or one reserved seat in movie theaters. “This is hilariously abysmal,” one social media user said of the film’s flop.
Media’s dependence on government inches towards permanence
For the first time in the nation’s history, almost all the media covering an election have a direct, even existential, stake in the outcome.
And when the votes are all counted, a great many if not most of those on the losing sides will blame it on the reporters, editors, headline writers, and producers who will be managing the coverage in the weeks ahead. It’s an open question whether they will be forgiven. Some may be. Most probably won’t.
See the Globe get Ratio’d.

A Columbia University student who moved to the US as a child is suing the Trump administration over attempts to deport her for participating in pro-Palestinian protests.
Yunseo Chung, 21, a legal permanent US resident who moved from South Korea when she was seven, alleges immigration officials have executed search warrants at multiple Columbia facilities, including her dormitory.
The lawsuit seeks to block her detention and deportation, citing First Amendment and other constitutional rights.
OTTAWA — The campaign may have just begun, but Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre already looks to have found his favourite target: the Liberal-linked Century Initiative.
The little known pro-immigration lobby group, which seeks to grow Canada’s population to 100 million by 2100, has been on Poilievre’s lips a lot in the campaign’s opening stretch, after Liberal Leader Mark Carney added Century Initiative co-founder Mark Wiseman to his advisory council on Canada-U.S. relations last week.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an effective ceasefire in the Black Sea, the White House has said after talks in Saudi Arabia.
In two separate statements, the White House reported agreements with both Russia and Ukraine “to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea”.
They also “agreed to develop measures … to ban strikes against energy facilities”, the statements said.

Mark Carney wants you to believe he’s the leader Canada needs right now. He often is heard saying, “It’s Time to Build.”
Build what, Mr. Carney?
That’s the question Canadians need to be asking. Because if you dig beneath the surface of his polished speeches and scripted photo ops, it’s clear what Carney really plans to build: a future where your freedoms shrink, your costs go up, and unelected elites call the shots.
Must watch from Stephen LeDrew "You're going to read that on CBC or CTV or in the papers, was to give $42 million of relief to the big pot dealers, the legal pot dealers, the Liberal insiders who run those pot companies because they were having trouble making things meet."… pic.twitter.com/FNMpGPs7Vh

Joe Rogan has said he will not be working at UFC 315 in May, as he would “rather go to Russia” than Canada, where the event will play out.
UFC 315 is scheduled for 10 May at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, and given the fight card’s status as a pay-per-view event, many fans expected Rogan to be on commentary duties for the UFC.

If the last near-decade has proven any adage true, it’s that the Liberals are terrible at governing, but exceptional at campaigning. Campaigns are when you get to announce things; governance is when you’re supposed to follow through. Unfortunately for Canada, the Trudeau Liberals conflated the former with the latter, behaving as if announcing a plan – a framework for a plan, a timeline for a framework for a plan – constituted actual action on a promise. But when the time came to ask Canadians for their support, the Liberals managed to gloss over their failings by promoting a message that worked: Andrew Scheer is a shadowy social conservative; Erin O’Toole is a flip-flopper who would kowtow to anti-vaxxers; and now, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre can’t be trusted to stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump.
Parents have attacked a CBeebies show for featuring a gender-neutral racoon.
In the episode of Hey Duggee, an award-winning show, which is aimed at five-year-olds, a racoon called Wren and “their” siblings are introduced.
The gender-neutral language has been criticised as “inappropriate” and “confusing” for children still learning how to speak.
