On Saturday morning, CNN’s First of All with Victor Blackwell featured a gushy talking-points interview with trans activist T.S. Madison. The two discussed the “erasure of trans people” and the potential impact of the Save America Act. Madison warned parents that they need to be “protecting” their kids from the “people making these laws.”
A Toronto man facing deportation for violating sanctions against Iran has filed a court case against the Canadian government for rejecting his attempt to sponsor his mother to immigrate.
Amin Yousefijam, an Iranian citizen who also goes by Ameen Cohen, filed his case in Federal Court after Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada turned down his sponsorship application.
There was a time not so long ago when the Democrats were formidable and — I’m not kidding here — occasionally enjoyable political foes. During the Tea Party years, we would often encounter Dem activists and hang out with them for a while. Sometimes we would even socialize. The Democrats of recent yesteryear bore no resemblance to the feral, frothing rage mob that the No Kings/Resist Dems are today.
During this year’s Passover, Toronto looks like a war zone.
Police are standing in front of synagogues carrying semi-automatic rifles. You can’t miss cops in full tactical gear on TTC subway platforms or walking along Toronto sidewalks.
Hollywood is locked in a death spiral that it may never be able to reverse, a report claims.
The days of La La Land may be numbered with the pressures of how people consume entertainment continuing to undergo massive shifts. And the legacy studio system is struggling to respond and reinvent itself accordingly, especially in the U.S. as productions of movies and TV shows flee California in droves and even increasingly head to other countries looking for far cheaper costs.
Scores of asylum claimants waiting for their cases to be assessed have in the past few days been warned by the Immigration Department they may imminently face deportation, with many letters sent the day after a bill tightening up asylum rules became law.
Immigration lawyers said the letters have caused panic among clients waiting for their cases to be assessed by the independent Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) and who now face removal from Canada.
President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday in a major shakeup to his cabinet.
“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Human rights commission must reconsider case of woman who was refused service in Tagalog
In Saskatchewan, the authorities are currently deciding whether to treat Tagalog like an official language.
It all started at the Starbucks in Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital. Vanessa Casila, a Filipina woman, tried to order in Tagalog. The employee taking her order refused, saying she would receive a formal reprimand from the manager if she went along with it. Casila then filed a human rights complaint, claiming that the “English only” policy amounted to discrimination based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, and nationality.
FBI officials recently reached out to members of Congress to alert them to a cyber hack classified as a “major incident.”
Fox News is told that China is the culprit and that the breach could pose a threat to national security.
The FBI made this designation last week when notifying several members of Congress.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the government to temporarily pause federal taxes on gas and diesel for the remainder of the year.
Poilievre held a news conference at an Ottawa gas station on Thursday to outline his suggestion, which would temporarily lift the GST and excise tax on diesel and gasoline.
The Pope’s sessions in the gym will pay off on Good Friday, when he will carry a large wooden cross around the Colosseum.
Leo, 70, will carry it throughout all 14 Stations of the Cross at the ancient Roman arena, symbolising Jesus’s last hours before his crucifixion.
This Easter, the ponfitt is expected to not only flex his muscles but also his political clout. On Easter Sunday, when the American pope will deliver the traditional Urbi et Orbi address at St Peter’s Square, he is likely to give full vent to his opposition to the Iran war.
Avi Lewis is a truly unconventional politician. He has managed to make himself a champion of young Canadians, which is quite a feat given that he’ll be in his 60th year in May.
They provided a lot of energy to his campaign but also tend to vote less and that could prove a challenge.
Under his leadership, the NDP will cement its role as a safe place for equity-seeking groups, a part of its branding that was a reflection of Jack Layton’s core beliefs.
Avi is on something not on to something. Never underestimate the stupidity of today’s university students or the media’s Avi cheerleaders.
The alleged Bondi gunman has lost his court bid to suppress the names and addresses of his mother, brother and sister due to fears over their safety.
Lawyers for Naveed Akram – who is facing 59 charges over December’s attack on a Jewish festival on Bondi Beach that killed 15 people – argued that his family could be targeted by vigilantes and had already experienced abuse.
Last month, details of Akram’s family were suppressed under an interim order but on Thursday, a Sydney court lifted it after several media outlets opposed the move.
The Auditor General of Canada recently flagged gaps in how student visas are being assessed. In a report tabled in Parliament last week, it said countries with a high risk of fraudulent applications generally saw low approval rates — with “one important exception” in India.
Iran’s president has sent a propaganda letter to Americans claiming his country harbors no enmity to ordinary US citizens, according to state-owned outlets.
Despite years of conflict and state-sponsored terrorism, President Masoud Pezeshkian insisted that the idea that Iran was an enemy of the American people was “neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts.”
“We were only kidding with that Death to America stuff”
