Mamdani’s East Harlem Grocery Store Boondoggle

Mamdani’s East Harlem Grocery Store Boondoggle

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced the first location for one of the five promised city-owned grocery stores. The 9,000 square-foot store will be built on a city-owned vacant site under the Metro-North railroad viaduct at La Marqueta, near Park Avenue and East 116th Street, in Manhattan’s East Harlem neighborhood.

The city will finance the store’s construction with $30 million from the capital budget. The store will have no debt service. Though privately operated, it will pay no rent or property tax.

John Ivison: Canada backing Iran at the UN betrays what Carney stood for at Davos

John Ivison: Canada backing Iran at the UN betrays what Carney stood for at Davos

The day after the Liberals secured their majority in the House of Commons there was a sense that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

In this case, it was the reminder that at 2:15 p.m. in the House, it is still “question period,” not “answer period.”

On Tuesday, Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong rose to ask the government why it had voted in favour of Iran’s membership to the United Nations Committee for Program and Coordination, which shapes UN policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament and terrorism prevention.

Justin Trudeau at Coachella? That’s just wrong: at a certain age, things must change

Justin Trudeau at Coachella? That’s just wrong: at a certain age, things must change

This morning, over breakfast, in the course of discussing the week’s news, I happened to say the word “Coachella” in front of my two scornful 11-year-olds, whose heads snapped up from their screens in unison. “How have you heard of Coachella?” said one in amazement. “How have you heard of Coachella?” I replied. They exchanged a look with which I’ve become increasingly familiar – namely, the “here we go” look reserved by the very young for the very middle-aged. “What is Coachella, then?” I said, to which they replied: “It’s where influencers go.”

I’m grateful the world has not forgot to despise Trudeau.

Young woman says Canadian university banned her for listening to a conversation about Iran war

Young woman says Canadian university banned her for listening to a conversation about Iran war

A Canadian woman says she has been banned for life from the University of Guelph in a violation of her Charter rights because she overheard a private conversation that her father had about the Iran war with some Muslims.

Sarah Dotzert, a young conservative activist, posted a YouTube video about her ordeal through her organization, Unify Action. She explains just how far the university went in political correctness by banning both her and her father.

Lebanon: From ‘Switzerland of the Middle East’ to Iran’s Puppet

Lebanon: From ‘Switzerland of the Middle East’ to Iran’s Puppet

This week, as the Lebanese government was preparing to participate in US-mediated talks with Israel in Washington, DC, Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist organization, delivered its verdict: No negotiations, no compromise. Only war.

The talks, which took place on April 14, aim to ensure “long-term security of Israel’s northern border” while supporting Lebanon’s efforts to “reclaim full sovereignty over its territory.”

How one Ontario mom is navigating fears for her Iranian family’s homeland — from schoolyard gossip to Trump’s taunts

It’s chaos.

At her home near Kawartha Lakes, Ont., Hollay Ghadery sits in her lounge with her laptop as her children rush over, dumping lunch bags and backpacks, kicking off shoes, and jostling to be first to tell her what happened at school.

“Let me speak first.” “No, you spoke first last time. It’s my turn!” “Mom, listen to me.”
Usually, it’s just gossip — who got in trouble, who bothered who. But lately, it’s been about remarks they’ve heard in school: that U.S. President Donald Trump is “freeing” their family’s homeland, Iran, by waging war; that Iranians should be happy about it. One of her children also heard a classmate claim that ISIS, falsely conflated with Iran, is planning an attack on the U.S. Moments like these can show how difficult it can be to parent through a war, even if it’s thousands of kilometres away.

The Star barely conceals the regime leanings of these Iranians one of whom is “Poet Laureate of Scugog Township.”

AI still needs us, but not for long

AI is set to take over all cognitive tasks in the next few years. Your hard-won career as a paralegal, data analyst, radiologist, coder or novelist is about to be hacked out from under you. So far, so apocalyptic. But what about the jobs that are primarily embodied? Sous-chef, rehabilitation nurse, plumber, dog-trainer? These are expected to lag behind, awaiting the next generation of robots. But there is an important further question. Who will train these robots? Answer: you will.

Trump Ends $11 Million Grant to Catholic Charities for Its Illegal Immigration Support

Trump Ends $11 Million Grant to Catholic Charities for Its Illegal Immigration Support

There is an old adage that goes like this: “If someone says it’s not about the money, it’s about the money.”

While the Roman Catholic Church has largely been quiet on geopolitical matters over the past few decades, it’s only been since President Donald Trump started to more aggressively enforce America’s standing border protection policies and immigration laws that the Vatican has clearly gotten political.

LILLEY: Canada joining the EU would cost us our sovereignty

LILLEY: Canada joining the EU would cost us our sovereignty

It feels like there is a campaign underway to get Canada to join the European Union. We have polls and news stories pushing the idea, and politicians seemingly regularly commenting on how or if it could happen.

It’s an utterly ridiculous idea that would see Canada surrender more sovereignty than we would in any trade deal with the Americans. To the smart set, though, the people who allow Donald Trump to occupy every corner of their brains, joining the EU is the antidote to Trump.

Diplomat’s son gets race-based discount on kidnapping sentence

His father, a diplomat, helped him buy his first condo in Mississauga, Ont.

His brother later helped him purchase a house in Hamilton and invest in several legitimate businesses.

But a judge considered his race while sentencing Samir Abdelgadir for helping to kidnap a 14-year-old Black boy for 36 hours in order to recoup 90 kilograms of cocaine stolen by the boy’s half-brother.
