A federal electric vehicle rebate program is drawing scrutiny after records show the Dodge Charger will soon be the only Canadian-made vehicle eligible for incentives without a price cap.
Blacklock’s Reporter says documents tabled in the House of Commons by the Department of Transport indicate that, by year’s end, the Charger — built in Windsor, Ont. — will stand alone in qualifying for rebates on vehicles priced above $50,000.
Harrow School has many centuries-old traditions that make it a jewel in the crown of British education: straw hats, black tailcoats and its own form of archaic slang, where “beaks” means teachers and “the ducker” is the swimming pool.
Soon it will need to grapple with some new customs. Sir Winston Churchill’s alma mater is opening two schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) this summer, where Muslim pupils recite the Koran and learn about beating their wives.
This is the best thing I’ve seen today 🤣💀🤣💀🤣💀🤣

St Sebastian has been depicted as an Asian transgender man in a National Gallery installation.
Transgender models are retelling the story of the early Christian martyr, who was sent to be executed by archers.
When arrows miraculously failed to kill him, he was clubbed to death on the order of the Roman emperor Diocletian.

🇯🇵 A Muslim lady from the UK explains: "Japan is overrated. I don't like it because it's not Muslim friendly. Their rice is boiled in pork water".
Actually, one of the best things about Japan is exactly that: we're not Muslim friendly. 🤷🏻♀️ Too bad for you. pic.twitter.com/6oRYQGq8ei

If you attended school any time after the Nixon administration, then you likely beheld at some point the CIA World Factbook, a map and reference manual of Planet Earth and its inhabitants upon which nearly everyone could agree.
Maybe you read parts of it from a floppy disk or a CD-ROM for that social studies project due tomorrow. Or scanned its list of countries for Latvia, because that is the country you are representing next week in Model U.N. Even better, you wandered the earth in your imagination as you held the physical Factbook in your own hands, unfolding its maps and understanding, perhaps for the first time, that the thumbs-up gesture your friends flash each other is considered an obscene insult in parts of the Middle East, Europe and Argentina.
A pity, as a blogger I have relied on it on many occasions.
Two people have been arrested at a rally for Iran downtown on Saturday.
Officers arrested two males for assault and assault with a weapon around 2:30 p.m., according to a post from Toronto police on social media.
The “Rally for Justice” was organized by Hands Off Iran and the Muslim Community of the GTA to “build a strong, united presence against imperialist aggression and war.”

Keep your hands to yourself while protesting, particularly when standing directly in front of police.

Canada’s largest oil refinery is looking for new supply options as the U.S. war on Iran threatens one of its most reliable, and long-standing, sources of crude oil.
Irving Oil recently got permission from federal regulators to use a foreign-owned ship to bring crude oil from Newfoundland’s offshore fields to Saint John, in southern New Brunswick.
Saudi Arabia has been the most reliable source of crude for Irving’s Saint John refinery since it opened in 1960, but Irving told regulators last month that this is no longer certain.
Armed police guarding Sir Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, have reportedly left a bag of guns outside his home.
An MP5 semi-automatic Heckler & Koch carbine, Glock pistol, Taser and ammunition were found on the kerb in south London on Tuesday evening.
Five officers have since been removed from front-line duties.
Conservative MP Marc Dalton says he hopes Shen Yun’s remaining Toronto performances can proceed, since police have confirmed that the bomb threats against the show are unfounded.
“These threats have been a tactic worldwide to derail this production in the past couple of years. I have tickets to attend next week in Vancouver and look forward to it,” Dalton said on social media on April 2.
Another week, another reminder that the German government’s rhetoric on migration rarely matches reality.
Friedrich Merz was clearly hoping to claw back some support from the anti-migration AfD when he said on Monday that he expected 80% of Syrians in Germany to return home within three years. The only problem is that the figure is disputed—and rapidly unravelling.
