Cambridge’s Investigation of Jason Arday’s Death Won’t Ask a Central Question

Cambridge’s Investigation of Jason Arday’s Death Won’t Ask a Central Question

A second part of Cambridge University’s review or investigation into the Jason Arday affair has been announced. Arday, you will remember, was the young professor of the Sociology of Education, whose status as the youngest black professor ever appointed by Cambridge was greeted with an almost worldwide fanfare, and ended in his tragic death.

The first part of the investigation, announced in September, will, according to the BBC, “examine the support, interventions and protections available to Arday during the period prior to his death.” In other words, it will treat the affair as if it were primarily a psychotherapeutic problem.

Syria Is Indoctrinating a New Generation of Terrorists

Syria Is Indoctrinating a New Generation of Terrorists

In August, the Trump Administration removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism. It had also previously lifted sanctions “to create a new relationship between the United States and Syria.”

“These actions were all taken in recognition of the positive actions taken and further commitments by the Syrian government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa to fully distance Syria from acts of international terrorism,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the time.

Housing alone not viable solution for homeless addicts

Housing alone not viable solution for homeless addicts

After back-to-back elections — one in British Columbia and one in Toronto —in which mental illness, drug addiction and homelessness featured prominently, the results may well mark another turning point in how this national crisis is addressed, even though B.C. turned its back on NDP-style governance and Toronto embraced it.

Within the platoon of Toronto councillors now tasked with running the city, there are signs that the unabashed loyalty to injection sites and harm reduction that have been the hallmark of the past decade at city hall is finally fading.


Handing the house keys to addicts sounds like a miracle solution!

Sunny Hostin Insists Slaves ‘Emancipated Themselves,’ Without Lincoln

Sunny Hostin Insists Slaves ‘Emancipated Themselves,’ Without Lincoln

ABC News co-host Sunny Hostin celebrated Veteran’s Day on Wednesday with a massive dose of racism and some serious revisionist history. Despite speaking on a purported “bona fide news program,” The View co-host claimed President Abraham Lincoln didn’t emancipate anyone and the Union didn’t free the slaves. She insisted the slaves did it all “themselves.” Further proving her ignorance, she would later falsely suggest the Electoral College played a role in Senate elections.

Microsoft 365 outage still without ‘full mitigation’ after nearly 24 hours

Nearly 24 hours after a Microsoft 365 outage knocked out services for users across the world, the tech giant says email queues were “approaching normal levels” but it is still working on a “full mitigation” of the problem.

Mike Myers says he wants Wayne Gretzky to ‘come back’ to Canada: ‘I just don’t agree with his politics’

Mike Myers says he wants Wayne Gretzky to ‘come back’ to Canada: ‘I just don’t agree with his politics’

Mike Myers isn’t afraid to call out Wayne Gretzky’s political views.

The Canadian actor was the first guest on “MADE / unmade,” a new podcast that premiered on Thursday and is hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos. While the Austin Powers star opened up about everything from his career to finding his political voice, he was quick to clarify that he and the former NHL player have opposing political beliefs.


I bet Mikey loves the vibrant diversity when he slums in TO.

Ilhan Omar Is in Real Trouble, and She Knows It

Things are getting spicy in D.C., and I am not referring to all the backbiting in the Democrat and Republican caucuses, the Congressional investigations that will plague us for the next two years…at least…or even the sex scandals that will inevitably leak out as they always do when there isn’t other news to cover.

CHARLEBOIS: Ottawa’s multi-billion food strategy comes with an asterisk

CHARLEBOIS: Ottawa’s multi-billion food strategy comes with an asterisk

You have to give Ottawa credit for creativity.

In Budget 2025, last year, it introduced a framework that separates day-to-day operating spending from capital investment. In Budget 2026, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne can point to a projected $11.2-billion operating surplus in 2027–28. In that very same year, Ottawa projects an overall deficit of $62.5 billion. Both figures come from the same budget. When Canadians hear that Ottawa is on track to balance its books, they deserve to hear both numbers.

‘Demoralizing:’ Toronto doctor calls current volume of patients at some local ERs ‘out of control’

‘Demoralizing:’ Toronto doctor calls current volume of patients at some local ERs ‘out of control’

An emergency room physician who works at three Toronto hospitals is raising alarm bells over the capacity of some ERs in the city, calling the volume of patients “insane, out-of-control, explosive, never seen before, [and] record-breaking.”

Dr. Raghu Venugopal has worked in emergency rooms for 19 years and said if you ask any ER doctor right now, they would say the current situation concerning.

The number one issue, Venugopal suggested, is that people don’t have other access treatment.
