Donald Trump’s escalating feud with Canada has prompted Joe Rogan and George Clooney to fire back

Big names from many different walks of life — from musicians to late-night show hosts and from actors to podcasters — have fired back at Donald Trump over the tariffs he’s levied on Canadian goods and his move to rename Lake Ontario.

Most recently, the U.S. president signed an executive order renaming the lake “Lake America” in the U.S., following a bitter public spat with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the collapse of trade talks between Canada and the United States.


Joe Rogan and George Clooney! Oh No! Time to pack it in President Trump.

Conservatives, critics slam Globe and Mail column’s call for reopening the immigration gates

Conservatives, critics slam Globe and Mail column’s call for reopening the immigration gates

CALGARY — A recent Globe and Mail column has become the latest flashpoint in the raging debate over immigration in Canada, as columnist Doug Saunders’ call to “rev up” the country’s immigration system has drawn harsh criticism from Conservative politicians and other commentators who say Canada is still reeling from the previous population surge.

Greens SUSPEND ‘trans Communist’ appointed to woman-only post as party faces legal action from members

The Greens have suspended a trans woman who was elected to a role on the party’s council as it faces legal action from a portion of its own members over the appointment.

Eleanora Folan, who describes herself as a communist and ‘anti-Zionist’, won a vote last month to represent the Eastern Region on the council in a women’s role.

Ms Folan, who was previously revealed to have been behind an X account that downplayed the horrors inflicted by Iran’s extremist regime, was set to contribute to the party’s culture and wellbeing, as well as policy and strategy.

Olivia Chow opts out of antisemitism debate says – she’s doing her share

Olivia Chow opts out of antisemitism debate says – she’s doing her share

Olivia Chow won’t attend a Toronto mayoral debate next week about antisemitism and other public safety concerns, her team has confirmed.

The decision could serve as fodder for critics who have accused the incumbent mayor of not taking anti-Jewish hate seriously, and marks the latest challenge Chow has faced in navigating local concerns about antisemitism in the wake the Israel-Gaza war. Chow has rejected accusations she hasn’t done enough to combat intolerance, and her campaign said Thursday she would continue to work with the Jewish community to fight antisemitism.
