OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is looking at offering Canadian sea ports for sale.
Buried deep in the pages of a discussion paper released Friday — one of two published for swift 30-day public consultations — is the announcement that the government is open to and seeking a report on the potential amalgamation of certain unnamed “key ports” in Canada and “divestiture” of others.
Ukraine is doing the unthinkable: winning its war against Russia. I doubt it will achieve its war aim of removing all Russian soldiers from all its territory, especially Crimea, but it certainly has Russia on the run.
For the first two years of the war, the Europeans, and especially Biden, simultaneously poured billions of dollars of weapons for the country’s defense and restricted the use of those weapons so heavily that the inevitable result was a bloody stalemate and a forever war.
Is alleged feces flinger the same man accused of weekend sex assaults?
A 30-year-old man is accused of sexually assaulting two women at opposite ends of the city in less than 24 hours over the weekend.
But while Toronto cops routinely say when an accused is “known to police,” they refused to confirm whether Samuel Opoku is the same man who made headlines in 2019 for allegedly hurling buckets of liquefied fecal matter on unsuspecting victims in the city.
In Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming movie The Odyssey, due July 17, 2026, the Trojan Horse arrives wrapped in modern rationalism.
Nolan, a director noted for his command of causality and mechanics, saw a narrative problem in the ancient tale: why would the Trojans drag a giant wooden horse inside their city? His solution, shared with evident pride in a Time interview, was to make the horse half-submerged and sinking so the Trojans would rescue it. The Trojan claiming of the Horse became a rescue story, not one of foolishness and hubris.
Lea Ledohowski woke up to the sound of what she thought were gunshots.
But the loud banging turned out to be three masked men on the doorstep of her Toronto home trying to smash through her front window with a hammer.
“A piece of glass separated three masked perpetrators from my family,” Ledohowski said about the February incident.

The mess that was the Ontario Liberal nomination race in Scarborough Southwest can’t simply be swept under the rug. The party is facing serious allegations of wrongdoing in the vote that happened over the weekend, and those must be answered, not ignored.
Nate Erskine-Smith, who lost by 19 votes to Ahsanul Hafiz, has claimed that there were 34 more ballots counted than there were recorded voters. He also said there were “repeated and serious inconsistencies with respect to proof of identification” and said there were “problematic actions in the voting area.”
Nothing will be done, the Liberals are as corrupt as the Muslims.
Besides Mohammed Erskine-Smith is only upset because he lost.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio wonders what the point of the United States remaining in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is if countries in the alliance won’t help the United States when needed.
Rubio made the comments on Wednesday in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity aboard Air Force One en route to the summit in China. He questioned whether the countries are actually committed to an alliance with the U.S. after several NATO countries refused to grant the U.S. permission to use its air bases for operations in the war with Iran. Rubio was miffed with those countries’ decision.
All 11 teachers who were suspended in 2024 after being accused of fostering a toxic climate at a Montreal elementary school have had their licences revoked, according to the office of Quebec’s education minister.
Confirmation of the 11 licences being revoked came on the same day the Education Ministry made public a final report into the situation at Bedford elementary school.
The revocation of the licences is the latest development in a saga that reignited the debate around secularism in the province and raised concerns about religious indoctrination in Quebec schools.
Nowhere in the Gaslighting CBC article is it noted that the 11 suspended teachers were Muslims.
OTTAWA — Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he believes there is “religious infiltration” and “Islamist infiltration” in Quebec schools in the wake of a sprawling controversy about a Montreal school where teachers were accused of creating a climate of terror.
Honda Motor on Thursday reported its first annual loss since becoming a publicly traded company in Japan seven decades ago, as the costly retreat from its ambitious electric-vehicle targets plunged earnings into the red.
The Japanese automaker reported a net loss of $2.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31. Earnings were weighed down by more than $9 billion in restructuring charges and write-downs following a retrenchment of its E.V. strategy. It is the first loss that the 77-year-old company has reported since listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1957.

Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday unveiled Canada’s new clean electricity strategy as electricity demand in Canada grows.
The plan aims to double the capacity of Canada’s grid by 2050, Carney said, adding that the federal government is launching consultations with provinces, territories, Indigenous groups, utility companies and unions.
“Over the coming decades, Canadians will use more electricity because many of the things we use every day, the cars we drive, the heaters in our home, the machines in our factories are switching to electric power. Doubling our grid to meet that demand won’t be easy,” Carney said.
PM Carney: "Canada will double its electricity generation over the course of the next two decades because the path to affordability is electrification. The path to competitiveness is electrification. The path to net zero is electrification." pic.twitter.com/i742RyCbZu

US President Donald Trump is in Beijing on the first trip to China by an American leader since in his own previous visit, during his first term in 2017.
He was given a spectacular welcome at the Great Hall of the People. The two leaders shook hands on the red carpet before entering a room for their bilateral meeting.
The talks lasted around two hours, longer than expected. Trump called the talks “great”, but there are few details on whether any progress was made on key issues.

It is now commonplace to say that the international rules-based order is dead. Indeed, in his speech at Davos in January, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney not only pronounced its death but outlined a strategy for middle powers to adopt in response.
There are two elements of the rules-based order that have been challenged by recent events. The first is that there can be no changes to borders through the forcible annexation of territory or unilateral secession. This is one of the main pieces of the international order that appears to have fallen. The first serious brick in the wall was removed in 2014, with general acquiescence to Russia’s takeover of Crimea and eastern Donbass. It was also challenged more recently by the United States’ stated desire to purchase Greenland, as if it was a piece of real estate, and against the wishes of both Greenlanders and Denmark.
Carney does not “matter” in the old or new world order.
The smell of oil and scorched metal lingers in the workshop where the world’s most widely used submachine gun is made.
As workers armed with blowtorches pore over aiming sights and cocking tubes, row upon row of robotic arms are forging and drilling gun barrels on the factory floor.
This is the secretive manufacturing hub of Heckler & Koch, the German firm perhaps best known in Britain for supplying MP5 submachine guns to UK special forces.
A leading figure in the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) who defended Hamas’s hostage-taking in its Oct 7 attack on Israel has been refused entry to Canada.
Dr Anas Altikriti, who is listed as a director of the association, had planned to attend and speak at a Muslim Association of Canada convention in Toronto on May 16-18.
However, he was held and questioned for 11 hours on arrival in Montreal before being escorted back on to a plane to London.
