LILLEY: Olivia Chow’s drug playbook already failed in Vancouver

LILLEY: Olivia Chow’s drug playbook already failed in Vancouver

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim has a simple message for voters in Toronto when it comes to drug policy: Don’t follow Vancouver’s example — it won’t lead to good places.

If you drive or walk the streets of Toronto, the zombie-like creatures now occupying our public spaces are not a shocking scene anymore. They aren’t there by accident, though. They are there due to decisions by so-called progressive politicians to liberalize drug laws.

Trump Declares ‘Economic D-Day’ Against Iranian Regime

Trump Declares ‘Economic D-Day’ Against Iranian Regime

President Donald Trump is not yet ready to bomb the ayatollahs to the hell they so richly deserve, but he is implementing major economic sanctions and blockades against the Iranian regime.

After confirming that his administration was no longer in any talks with the Iranian regime and teasing the idea of claiming the Strait of Hormuz for America, Trump issued a new update on Wednesday. This time, he detailed his next move in the conflict with Tehran.

If this deal’s auto-industry relief isn’t better than it first appears, Doug Ford should keep his booze ban

If this deal’s auto-industry relief isn’t better than it first appears, Doug Ford should keep his booze ban

This is not, by early appearances, the deal that Canada’s automotive sector wants or needs.

As trade negotiations entered crunch time this week, industry leaders warned with increasing urgency that Mark Carney could not afford to settle for a rumoured cut to U.S President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian-assembled vehicles that would still leave the tariffs too high for those cars to be profitable.

But, as of late Wednesday, as details of a tentative agreement started to leak out, that was what seemed to have happened.

Canadian powerlifting champion April Hutchinson led the seventh Sophie Cunningham rally on Tuesday night in Toronto – the first to take place outside of the U.S.

A crowd of Cunningham supporters gathered outside of Scotiabank Arena ahead of the Indiana Fever’s win against the Toronto Tempo. Supporters were seen wearing XX-XY Athletics T-shirts.

Sophie Cunningham sent a loud and clear message after getting viciously booed in Canada

Sophie Cunningham put on her big girl pants and hard hat, and ventured into Canada for the first time in her life Tuesday night.

That’s right. Canada. More specifically, Toronto. What a patriot!

Good stuff. h/t patthedog

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott takes aim at Muslim washing stations in airports

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott takes aim at Muslim washing stations in airports

HOUSTON — For years, travelers passing through Texas’s two biggest airports have had access to small washing stations for a ritual called wudu, in which Muslims clean their hands, arms, head and feet before the five daily prayers.

Such facilities have become more common in states with the largest Muslim populations, including Texas, where on Wednesday travelers and others popped in and out of washing stations at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The tiled wudu room sits along an airport hall just past a vending machine, with a small sign showing a draped person kneeling.

No accommodation for the cult.

Poilievre invites Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi to visit Canada

OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has invited the former crown prince of Iran, who is pitching himself as the best option to lead Iran back to democracy, to visit Canada.

Poilievre told a crowd at an event in British Columbia on Saturday that in addition to extending the invitation, he would also be meeting virtually with Reza Pahlavi, whose father ruled over the country as Shah until the 1979 Islamic Revolution pushed the family into exile.

Canadians Are Buying More Guns

Canadians Are Buying More Guns

Gun licence applications are on the rise in the Greater Toronto Area. Between 2016 and 2025, the number of applicants for possession and acquisition licences, or PALs—the permits that allow Canadians to buy firearms—have increased by nearly 50 per cent. In some parts of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, like the eastern suburb of Peel, they’ve more than doubled. And southern Ontario isn’t the only place where this is happening. The number of PAL licence holders across Canada is quickly nearing 2.5 million, the highest count on record.

We’re gonna need em.

U.K. Bans Bishop, Lawmaker Convicted Of ‘Hate Speech’ For Agreeing With The Bible

U.K. travel ban on two European Christians persecuted for their faith is preventing one, a prominent Finnish politician, from speaking to a U.K. legislative body this week. The revocation appears to be based on a wrongful conviction of Finnish Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola for publishing a booklet discussing the Bible’s theology of male and female differences, says free speech law firm Alliance Defending Freedom.

Wartime Elections Demanded in Ukraine

Wartime Elections Demanded in Ukraine

Pressure that elections be held in war-torn Ukraine is this time coming neither from Washington nor Moscow, but from within Ukraine’s own political system. Mykhailo Fedorov, dismissed as defence minister in July, has called on the country to find a way to return to the ballot box even while the war continues.

“We must not allow Putin to decide when Ukrainians can choose their government,” Fedorov said in a video released just hours after Volodymyr Zelensky nominated Yevhen Khmara as the new defence minister. The appointment definitively closed the door on Fedorov returning to the post.
