Ontario is set to double the number of economic immigrants it welcomes to the province under an agreement with the federal government to boost the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
The federal and provincial immigration ministers are announcing today that the province will have more than 18,000 spots under the program in 2025.

California’s soft-on-crime policies were on full display in a federal courtroom earlier this month when a reputed Oakland gang member was handed a 33-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Thanks to the state’s obsession with keeping inmates behind bars for as short a time as possible, the federal sentence of just under three years will likely result in more time served than the 15-year prison term imposed on Zayonta Casmire by the state of California back in 2016 on charges of conspiracy to commit attempted murder.
OTTAWA — The leaked intelligence reports have set off a political firestorm. They describe plans by the government of China and its diplomats in Canada to ensure that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party took power in the last two elections, raising troubling questions about the integrity of Canada’s democracy.
But as two prominent Canadian news organizations have published a series of leaks over the past month, Mr. Trudeau has refused calls to launch a public inquiry into the matter, angering political opponents and leading to accusations that he is covering up foreign attempts to undermine his country’s elections.
A financial analyst has been found guilty of terrorism offences after a laptop he took for repair led police to his bomb-making factory in a lock-up.
Asad Bhatti, 49, from Redhill in Surrey, who worked for Legal & General as a senior analyst, combined Islam and conspiracy theories to come up with his own manifesto, a court was told.
OTTAWA—There were supposed to be no surprises.
It’s the bedrock of the Liberal-NDP deal — a simple notion that, despite the two parties’ competing political interests, neither would ever catch the other off guard.
But eight months into the governing agreement that could see the NDP prop up the minority Liberals until 2025, that principle was violated.
The Liberals had quietly introduced a series of amendments to their firearms bill. And the New Democrats were blindsided.
A CNN correspondent in San Francisco to report on the city’s “rampant street crime” had her rental car broken into Friday — even with hired security tasked with watching the vehicle.
“Got robbed. Again,” Kyung Lah tweeted after the break-in with a picture of the car’s shattered rear-view window.
“We had security to watch our rental car + crew car. Thieves did this in under 4 seconds. This is ridiculous,” she wrote.
MONTREAL—If the debate over Chinese interference in Canada’s politics is a test of leadership, both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are going out of their way to fail it.
That starts with Trudeau, who came peculiarly late to the realization that the issue of the integrity of Canada’s democratic system could not be swept under the carpet. He has been playing catch up — with very relative success — since then.
A conservative judge who was heckled at Stanford Law School has claimed student protestors screamed that they hoped his daughters would be raped before the equity dean ambushed him in ‘a staged public shaming’.
Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, 51, who was appointed by Donald Trump, was asked to give a speech at the famous law school last week about the circuit’s Court of Appeals by the student chapter of the Federalist Society.
However, when he arrived at the school, he was met by around 100 students yelling obscenities at him, including one protester who told him: ‘We hope your daughters get raped.’
According to the Blacklock’s Reporter, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino expects the cabinet’s review of the proposed paid foreign agent registry to take several months.
Senate has a bill for a foreign agent registry sitting there for a year and nothing has been done.
Xi is a busy guy, he just hasn’t had a chance to review the bill.
The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest in about one in every 565 people, a U.S. doctor testified at the National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI).
“That is quite a high number of serious adverse effects from a vaccine. We typically have withdrawn vaccines for one in 10,000,” said Dr. Joseph Fraiman, an emergency physician based in Louisiana who was the lead author of a peer-reviewed study that re-examined the original Pfizer and Moderna clinical trials for the COVID-19 vaccines.
The doctor it cites has never claimed the Wuhan wet market was the source of the virus
There is new evidence pointing to the origin of Covid being in the seafood market in Wuhan. That, at least, is the substance of a breathless piece published in the Atlantic. Specifically, Katherine Wu, the journalist who wrote the piece, had evidence suggesting that “raccoon dogs being illegally sold at the venue could have been carrying and possibly shedding the virus at the end of 2019.” Notice: “could have,” that old fallback of hype and spin.
The possibility of the Manhattan Criminal Court indicting former President Donald Trump on charges related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels has led to a variety of theories around the inevitable political fallout to come.
“I had no idea what the whole ‘gender identity’ thing was,” says the mother of a transgender teenager whose daughter now identifies as a boy.
“She was demanding a new name, new pronouns. And I was saying, ‘slow down, what’s going on?’
“I didn’t know what a pronoun was. I was that naive.”
Last year, the Dutch government announced that it would seize 30% of Dutch farms to save the climate. This year, polling shows that the newly formed Boer-Burger Beweging (BBB), the farmers’ party, will be the largest single party in Parliament. However, the nature of the parliamentary system is that they still won’t have power, as it’s likely that two leftist parties will join for a voting majority.
Silicon Valley’s woke, feelgood brand of capitalism was always built on sand.
The new capitalists were supposed to be different. Unlike those corrupt titans of Wall Street or the money-grubbing oil men, the 21st-century tech gurus were meant to be a more ‘enlightened’ class of entrepreneur. They were going to transform our world, with their dazzling technology and their superior social values. Last week’s collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) ought to shatter these illusions, once and for all.
