Judge Claims Arresting Illegal Aliens Anywhere is “Arbitrary and Capricious”

Judge Claims Arresting Illegal Aliens Anywhere is “Arbitrary and Capricious”

I’ve already written volumes about the lawfare abuses of the Administrative Procedures Act, which was meant by FDR to restrain the massive bureaucracy he had brought into being, and which in the Trump era was reinvented as a blank check for any leftist group looking for a leftist judge to block anything and everything that the Trump administration might be doing.

Chow Announces Free Lunch

Chow Announces Free Lunch

Free school lunch program proposed by Olivia Chow. Here is how it would work

Mayoral candidate Olivia Chow is promising to provide lunches in school if re-elected, a move she says will save parents an estimated $1,800 per year.

But at least one of her opponents is slamming the proposal as “an idea without a plan to pay for it.”

“Prices at big grocery stores just keep rising. With a robust school food program, we can give parents some breathing room. We can save families thousands of dollars a year feeding kids in school. And give parents a break on making lunch every day,” Chow said in a written statement.


She really is that stupid. One more avenue for leftist waste and graft.

Policy Conflict? – Carney government’s online harms bill won’t specifically target pro-suicide websites

Policy Conflict? – Carney government’s online harms bill won’t specifically target pro-suicide websites

OTTAWA — A proposed Canadian law would penalize social media platforms for failing to crack down on content that promotes self-harm and disordered eating to a child.

But what if that child went elsewhere on the internet, and found a pro-suicide forum offering advice on how to take their own life?

“It’s hard to speculate on what would and wouldn’t be done. I think there’s some clear things that would be covered” under the law, said Culture Minister Marc Miller, who introduced the Carney government’s Safe Social Media Act back in June.


They want you dead faster.

The Great Generational Rip-Off

The Great Generational Rip-Off

I had an epiphany the other day about life in Canada. It came to me, of all places, in a grocery store, holding an $11 carton of milk. The shop in question was Summerhill Market, an upscale store in an upscale part of Toronto, with prices to match: $10.49 for a dozen eggs, $14.36 for a single chicken breast, $20 for a small bag of rice. At 37 years old, I’m doing all right—I no longer worry about paying the rent every month—but I still only go to Summerhill to scan the aisles for clearance stickers. Otherwise, I retreat to the nearby No Frills. I used to marvel at how Summerhill stayed afloat during an affordability crisis—until I started paying attention to the other shoppers. Most are seniors, filling their baskets with $20 bags of potato chips and other little luxuries I could never imagine buying.


I get the feeling Carney’s LPC is softening us up to accept the elite’s enjoyment of communism while we enjoy the tyranny.

Shipping container village hailed as a ‘dream for all homeless people’ is making life a ‘living hell’ for neighbours

Shipping container village hailed as a ‘dream for all homeless people’ is making life a ‘living hell’ for neighbours

Shipping containers being used to house the homeless are at risk of being torn down, as neighbours and residents describe the site as a ‘complete hellhole’.

The ‘pod’-based accommodation – built out of colourful shipping containers – drew national headlines when it was first built in 2021.

But despite originally being described as a ‘dream for all homeless people’, the site has suffered major problems over the past five years.

Canada left without seat on International Ice Hockey Federation’s council

Canada left without seat on International Ice Hockey Federation’s council

No Canadians have been elected to the International Ice Hockey Federation’s council, a surprising result for a nation considered one of the sport’s powerhouses.

Hockey Canada president and chief executive officer Katherine Henderson was up for one of the minimum three female spots on council at Friday’s election at the IIHF’s semi-annual congress in Tenerife, Spain.

Henderson was eliminated in the second of three rounds of voting. Hungary’s Zsuzsanna Kolbenheyer, Turkiye’s Merve Tunali and Poland’s Marta Zawadzka won the council seats.


Canada is not being invited to a lot of parties of late.

Manhattan ‘mole’ mystery: rumors of lost gold spur clandestine excursions into New York sewers

Manhattan ‘mole’ mystery: rumors of lost gold spur clandestine excursions into New York sewers

There’s been one thing in particular that has been intriguing New Yorkers this summer: the existence, and whereabouts, of so-called “mole people” – a mysterious group of individuals who spend at least some of their time wading about in the city’s sewers.

New Yorkers learned a bit more about the phenomenon this week, when two men were caught red – or perhaps another color – handed, after allegedly emerging from a tunnel in Manhattan. Their arrests have shed some light on a slew of instances where people have been witnessed lifting manhole covers and clambering underground.
