For months, officers had been covertly stationed outside the flat, red-brick plaza on Ordan Drive in Mississauga, just a short drive from Toronto Pearson airport, listening in on the conversations inside.
Investigators believed Unit D of the building was being used as a staging ground for mass amounts of cannabis; a final stop for the drugs to be packed into suitcases affixed with GPS trackers before they were smuggled through Pearson to international destinations such as Greece.
Ten years ago, New York Times Magazine writer Nikole Hannah-Jones explained her decision to enroll her daughter, Najya, in a segregated, high-poverty Brooklyn public school, P.S. 307, despite having the resources and knowledge to send her elsewhere. Now, a decade later, in a follow-up essay, she concludes that her choice failed her daughter—and that segregation was to blame.
In the late 1600s, as hostilities between England and France built up, Parliament at Westminster took the step of moving from tariffs on French wine to an outright ban. The result was that French wine went from being 70% of the wine Britain imported prior to the Nine Years’ War to just three per cent in the 1720s.
It can only get ugly and Carney ain’t helping.
On July 30, the Board of Peace announced an agreement for the staged decommissioning of Hamas weapons in the Gaza Strip. Heavy arms and tunnel networks are to be surrendered under international verification while Israeli forces are to withdraw in phases.
Now, however, Hamas says it will hand over nothing until Israel first pulls back. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu notes that Israel never accepted those terms. The sequencing is unresolved and may remain unresolved for months. The shape of the deal is not. Hamas is being offered political survival in exchange for its guns.
A Canadian man who sold toxic chemicals to people who went on to kill themselves should “rot in hell”, the mother of a British woman who took her own life has said.
Imogen Nunn, known as Immy, died at her Brighton flat in January 2023 aged 25 after buying a substance online from Kenneth Law.
Sunny Hostin stopped The View in its tracks Tuesday after she revealed she was a ‘holdout juror’ in a well-known New York City homicide case surrounding a cannibal who killed and dismembered a 26-year-old Swiss dancer back in 1989.
The panel had been discussing the case of Lindsay Clancy, which ended in a mistrial this month due to a lone juror.
The juror, since identified as Michael Desronvil, sought to find the mother guilty of murder in the strangling of her own children in 2023.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has done a decent job sticking to a tight script during her bid for re-election. It’s a script that casts her as a centrist concerned about public safety and affordability — two of the electorate’s main concerns.
But at a recent debate she let the mask slip and reminded Toronto voters of her true colours — that she has never been an ally of the police. That’s not something you want to do, especially when we need law and order more than ever.
Karoline Leavitt may go down as the best White House press secretary this country has ever had. Her exit last month stung, but now that she’s no longer behind the podium, she’s dishing about what happened behind the scenes, and what she revealed on Tuesday is a doozy.
Mark Carney was in the room when two starkly different visions of the world order were laid before the United Nations General Assembly.
One came from the secretary-general of the UN, António Guterres. The other came from Donald Trump.
It was immediately evident, within the span of two hours, which world view would be embraced by Canada’s prime minister. Another day, another milepost in Canada’s increasing distance from Trump’s United States.
Infamous hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen data on every FBI employee and applicant, and defaced the bureau’s jobs website to prove it. The hackers claim to have breached the FBI by exploiting Oracle’s Peoplesoft platform.
For all the elbows-up talk on Donald Trump, schools still teach kids that Canada is the problem. If it isn’t white supremacy, it’s toxic masculinity or some other problem that only radical teachers can solve.
Based on what I’ve seen in just the first two weeks of the school year, the Doug Ford government hasn’t done nearly enough to rein in Ontario’s education system.
Face it Ford is complicit, he’ll do anything for a vote and that includes labeling your children as racists.
Former Hollywood giant Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting his former assistant, Miriam Haley, more than six years after the disgraced producer was first convicted.
Weinstein, 74, was sentenced Wednesday in New York for forcibly performing oral sex on Haley at his apartment in 2006. A jury convicted Weinstein of the charge during a retrial last year after the state’s highest court overturned his original conviction.
A conservative premier in Canada revealed the staggering cost migrants have on her province and the small contribution they make in return.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, 55, spotlighted at a press conference on Monday that $1 billion CAD [$710.2 million USD] is annually spent on health care and education for temporary residents.
Smith claimed that migrants contribute just $150 million CAD [$106.5 million USD] to provincial tax revenues, far less than a quarter of what they cost the region.
President Trump signed a deal with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark to pave the way for a larger U.S. military presence on the Arctic island and end a monthslong standoff that has soured Washington’s relations with European allies.
The three leaders met Tuesday at a signing ceremony on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The agreement builds on a 1951 treaty between the U.S. and Denmark, but adds provisions including a more significant buy-in from Greenland as a self-governing territory.
Here are the highlights
Canada’s medical assistance in dying, or MAID, program continues to produce the grotesque results that its detractors warned about.
The latest MAID horror north of the border was first reported in a Substack post by Kelsi Sheren titled “The Last Ten Days of Brigitte ‘GG’ Stegemann.”
