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.”
In the expansive grasslands of Inner Mongolia, farmers are picking plump potatoes alongside new neighbours: huge, rectangular blocks that will fuel China’s AI platforms.
Ulanqab, with its steppes and volcanoes, is an unlikely digital frontier. For years, it has been China’s official “potato capital”. But now its fields have also become construction sites for a slew of data centres, as Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping meet to discuss AI safety among other things.
Hundreds of workers in yellow helmets carry heavy equipment into the building site as welding sparks fly off metal scaffolding. Above them huge cranes move with precision to build rooftops, while men balance on ladders to plaster brickwork.
Full steam ahead or else.
OTTAWA — Former prime minister Justin Trudeau said the U.S. is an “extremely unpredictable” partner because President Donald Trump’s administration is “no longer working” in the best interest of Americans.
The former prime minister shared his thoughts on the current Trump administration as part of a question and answer session with Brown University President Christina Paxson in Rhode Island on Tuesday.
The US Department of Justicehas defended Donald Trump’s decision to ban three new organizations from the White House in a court filing, arguing that access to the grounds was a “privilege” and citing national security concerns.
Lawyers for the US president doubled down on Trump’s claims about CNN, Politico and MS Now reporting “Fake News” and insisted the ban did not violate the first amendment because “access to the White House is a privilege, not a right”.
U.S. President Donald Trump says, “Canada is destroying itself by allowing millions and millions of people into the Country.”
He made the statement on his Truth Social platform Wednesday morning, accusing Canada of allowing people in who are “essentially unchecked and unvetted” and ”causing problems that will soon be too big to handle.”
President Donald Trump was wrong to launch his trade war on Canada, majorities of adults in both countries agree.
Now Canadians of all political stripes are rallying around their government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, while in the United States, even some self-identified MAGA voters are worried about the political fallout for Trump.
I never imagined Politico publishing such a piece!
Mark Carney and Donald Trump are from different planets. And the Canada–US border now represents a face-off line on big issues in Western ideology.
While Carney praises climate action and net zero, Trump calls it all a hoax and says, “Drill, baby, drill.” While Trump declares, “We reject the ideology of globalism,” Carney worships it in his Davos speech.
Donald Trump on Tuesday said he backed the idea of a ban on diesel exports, which some US politicians are calling for as a way to curb the soaring cost of energy.
Diesel prices have rallied in Europe and the US to record highs as wars in Iran and Ukraine sharply cut exports from some of the biggest producers such as Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. A gallon of diesel fuel in the US was $6.53 on Tuesday, the highest average on record and over 75% higher than a year ago.
Twenty-eight per cent of working Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque and would struggle to meet their financial obligations if their pay was delayed by just one week, according to a survey from the National Payroll Institute released Tuesday.
This climbed from just under a quarter last year to its highest level in five years, said Peter Tzanetakis, president and chief executive at the institute.
The US will open two military bases in Greenland after Donald Trump struck a deal on the security of the island, it has been revealed.
Last week, the US president announced a broad agreement with Denmark after months of threatening to take the semi-autonomous Arctic territory by force.
Details have emerged suggesting that a Cold War-era military base at Narsarsuaq in southern Greenland would be reopened.
Mayoral hopeful Brad Bradford has made up ground on incumbent Olivia Chow in this fall’s Toronto election, according to a new poll.
With just under five weeks to go until the Oct. 26 voting day, the public opinion survey by Liaison Strategies shows that 47 per cent of decided and leaning voters intend to cast a ballot for Chow, compared to 40 per cent who back Bradford. That gives Chow a seven-point lead over Bradford, the councillor for Beaches—East York, down from 11 points two weeks ago.
It might sound like the plot of a bonkers sci-fi film, but the world has now witnessed the very first human versus robot boxing match.
Influencer Frankie Lapenna stepped into the ring last Friday to take on a 6ft-tall humanoid robot which bore an alarming resemblance to the Terminator.
The event took place in San Francisco and was hosted by robot fighting company REK, which controlled the robot remotely.
This is actually scary. I don’t know how Frankie Lapenna agreed to this.

Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly said there’s bipartisan political support for tariffs in the United States, raising the possibility the country’s manufacturers will face barriers to North America’s largest market long after Donald Trump’s presidency.
Joly is among a number of Canadian officials who have travelled to the U.S. over the past year and a half to encourage American opposition to Trump’s trade policies. Last week, she met with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, and in June she held a meeting with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Duh.
This is the proper response. https://t.co/NPTO4xfwEL

CALGARY — Hikers have raised concerns after photographs showing markings on rocks near Lake Louise circulated online, prompting renewed questions about vandalism and the treatment of natural features in protected Canadian parks.
A Reddit post published Tuesday by a hiker who said they recently visited the Devil’s Thumb area included photographs showing writing on rocks along the route.
