Bad blood

At 1 a.m. on March 25, a gunman approached the gate surrounding the Woodbridge, Ont., mansion of Paul Borrelli – an executive at Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (GIP), the sister construction company to Canadian waste giant GFL Environmental Inc. – and sprayed the front of the property with bullets.

A few days earlier, a similar scene played out in midtown Toronto, when around 2 a.m. a gunman opened fire on the home of Mr. Borrelli’s GIP colleague Sean Goldberg, the son of investment banker Barry Goldberg, who helped finance GFL in its early days.

Jerry Amernic: As the greatest generation fades away, so does Canada’s historical literacy

Canada recently said goodbye to Burdett Sisler, a man from Fort Erie, Ont., who was said to be Canada’s oldest living person. Two weeks shy of his 111th birthday when he died on April 2, he was also our oldest surviving veteran of the Second World War.

Sisler never went abroad to fight, but served in Canada as an army telecommunications mechanic, deploying radar technology to shoot down German bombers. Radar, a new technology back then, was crucial to the war effort and top secret at the time.

A Killing Exposes Deep Rifts in Canada’s Iranian Diaspora

A Killing Exposes Deep Rifts in Canada’s Iranian Diaspora

Masood Masjoody’s warnings over the years seemed unsettling, even sometimes outlandish: He was not safe in Vancouver. His university was protecting agents of Iran’s regime. His fellow Iranian activists wanted him dead.

After he was fired from a job teaching math at a university in British Columbia, Mr. Masjoody, 45, became preoccupied with Iranian pro-monarchy activists. He alleged they were plotting his demise because he had begun to oppose the group’s advocacy around restoring a shah, or “king” in Farsi, in their homeland.

There’s a silver lining in the Iran war ceasefire for Canada’s oil and gas industry

There’s a silver lining in the Iran war ceasefire for Canada’s oil and gas industry

The energy fallout of the U.S. and Israel-Iran war is a reminder that life is often unfair.

The United States, which started the war with a surprise attack on Iran in the middle of negotiations, could escape largely unscathed in terms of its energy supply — even as its international reputation takes a hit and U.S. inflation spikes as a result of oil prices.

But U.S. allies in Asia and Europe, who were neither consulted nor warned about the U.S.-Israeli attack, are facing sustained shortages.

Canada Poised To Criminalize Christianity With Ban On Citing Biblical Truths

Canada Poised To Criminalize Christianity With Ban On Citing Biblical Truths

Leftists may claim that they work for the common good, but what really drives them is often nothing less than religious fanaticism.

Case in point: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his new anti-Christian bill (C-9). Not content with the current hate speech laws in force in Canada, Carney is pushing stricter restrictions on speech with a new law that would prohibit using religious texts as a defense of speech the left deems offensive. According to a report in The Telegraph, “Bill C-9, the Act is a wide-ranging piece of legislation aimed at targeting what Carney’s government claims is ‘rising anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia and transphobia.’”

Nearly 60% of Canadians support becoming a full member of the European Union, poll says

Nearly three in five Canadians support the idea of Canada joining the European Union, a new poll suggests.

A Nanos Research survey conducted for The Globe and Mail shows that 57 per cent of respondents would either support (28 per cent) or somewhat support (29 per cent) Canada becoming a full member of the EU.

The results also show that 32 per cent of respondents were either opposed or somewhat opposed to the idea, while 12 per cent were unsure.


Maybe those in favour hope they can Schengen their way out of here?

Killer’s Indigenous heritage cited in lesser sentence for shooting of wife

Killer’s Indigenous heritage cited in lesser sentence for shooting of wife

An Indigenous B.C. man who shot his sleeping wife in the head after a 17-hour drinking binge has been sentenced to under seven years for her death.

The sentence is far below the Crown prosecutor’s request for 16 years and is partially the result of the judge finding the defendant’s Indigenous heritage a significant mitigating factor.

US Lawmakers Demand IRS Crack Down on CCP-Linked Nonprofits, Citing New York Networks Connected to Foreign Influence Cases

WASHINGTON — Today two of the most powerful committees in Washington have jointly demanded that the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department take immediate enforcement action against Chinese Communist Party-linked organizations operating inside America’s tax-exempt sector — citing, among other evidence, the same New York diaspora networks that featured prominently in the high-profile foreign influence prosecution of former New York State government aide Linda Sun, and in investigative reporting by The Bureau and the New York Times into Chinese consulate influence over New York City elections.
