Former COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded The Fifth 111 times at Wednesday’s Congressional hearing – but, that’s not what promised to do when the prospect of oversight of his handling of the epidemic first surfaced.
At Wednesday’s Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs hearing, the former face and head of the federal government’s response to the deadly COVID-19 epidemic refused to answer even a single question about his past actions, claims and health-safety recommendations.
The entry of former federal cabinet minister Chris Alexander into the Toronto mayoral race appears to have chipped away at the support for Brad Bradford, a new survey suggests.
The survey of 1,011 Torontonians was conducted by Forum Research on Wednesday, one day after Alexander confirmed that he was entering the race.
Western civilization’s self-immolation is no joke. Comedian John Cleese of Monty Python fame just made a completely accurate but incredibly daring argument you’ll rarely find a celebrity making: not all cultures are morally equal.
I'm not a racist. I'm a culturalist
I believe some cultures are superior to others
For example, I prefer cultures that do not encourage wife beating, paedophilia, clitorectomies, stoning and constant inflation of the male ego
I am also aware of the difference between… https://t.co/WNCRrzQvZi

Actor James Woods called Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani being elected Mayor of New York City “the most dangerous event” in modern American history, and warned that the United States is at risk of a “Muslim invasion.”
“I think the election of Mamdani was the most dangerous event to happen in the country” in modern history, Woods told conservative commentator Benny Johnson during a Monday appearance on his The Benny Show podcast.
The Ontario government’s representative in Washington says U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest threat to levy 50 per cent tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods is an indication that the administration is taking notice of the effect Canada’s retaliatory trade action is having on the American economy.
Speaking to CBC’s Power & Politics, David Paterson pointed to a specific complaint laid out in the fact sheet announcing the tariffs: U.S. auto exports to Canada dropping 22 per cent since April of last year.
Anti-hunting groups don’t make a lot of sense to me. I get people wanting harvested animals killed humanely and not left to rot in the woods. I want that, for crying out loud, and that’s true of every hunter I know.
Yet hunters are also conservationists. Not only do they help thin herds so there’s less competition for limited resources among animals like deer, but hunting license fees help fund government efforts to protect these animals.
The arrest of a Canadian intern accused of spying inside NATO’s senior military headquarters in Belgium reaches beyond one person or one failed security check. It shows how hostile states can combine espionage, criminal networks, technology, and trusted access to weaken an alliance without firing a shot.
Belgian prosecutors allege that the intern, who is of Chinese origin, conducted espionage for an unidentified third country while interning at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, known as SHAPE, in Mons, Belgium. They also accuse her of belonging to a criminal organization.
It wasn’t good for Anthony Fauci or anybody else that he took the Fifth at his Senate hearing this week. That plus his diary may well have been a reputation-destroying event.
It was obviously his right as a citizen to invoke the protections of the Constitution, and he surely had his reasons, but everyone who takes the Fifth knows what it looks like: It’s the early ’60s, we’re at congressional hearings on la Cosa Nostra, and the head of one of the five families is fiddling with his diamond pinkie ring as he asserts his right not to incriminate himself.
A Toronto man investigated for potential involvement in a murder plot targeting a senior jail officer — and facing extradition to the U.S. on drug conspiracy charges linked to alleged cocaine kingpin Ryan Wedding — has far-reaching criminal ties and is believed to have killed people, according to the RCMP.
Newly unsealed court documents provide fresh insight into the purported underworld connections of Gurpreet Singh, an accused cocaine smuggler whose name also appears in files stemming from a high-profile Toronto police corruption probe.
At a former British castle where thousands of enslaved Africans were held before being shipped across the Atlantic, the archbishop of Canterbury expressed “lament” for the Church of England’s involvement in transatlantic chattel slavery and reaffirmed her commitment to a controversial £100m fund for affected communities.
Dame Sarah Mullally made the comments on Thursday during a visit to the Cape Coast castle, a 17th-century fortress that was built by Swedish traders, but occupied by the Danish and the Dutch, before the British seized it in 1664.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government has “taken back control” of immigration.
The prime minister made the remarks at a press conference in Red Deer, Alta., after being asked about the upcoming referendum that will ask Albertans how they want the province to deal with immigration.
Carney never lets reality get in the way of his BS.

After months of marathon talks, Hamas has, for the first time, accepted a framework of the Board of Peace’s plan to completely disarm in Gaza.
The plan provides for the inventorying and storage of its remaining heavy weapons under Palestinian supervision, potentially removing the most significant obstacle to advancing the Trump-backed peace initiative for Gaza.
The move comes soon after Hamas concluded leadership elections that brought Gaza-based leader Khalil al-Hayya to the head of the movement.
For refusing to jump on the Kamloops “mass graves” narrative bandwagon, high school teacher Jim McMurtry was sacked by educational authorities, abandoned by his union and refused a hearing before a labour relations board.
Now, five years after first being walked out of a classroom as Indian residential school hysteria swept Canada, McMurtry is heading to B.C. Supreme Court in a case that he hopes will expose the truth about Kamloops.
About 60,000 migrants have crossed into Spain’s North African territory of Ceuta from Morocco in the last 24 hours, Ceuta’s president says.
At least 34 people have died during the crossing, Juan Jesús Vivas said during a news conference.
The influx comes after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled this month that migrants stopped at sea while trying to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another Spanish exclave, cannot be summarily returned to Morocco.
🚨 BREAKING: The upper estimates of migrants that have flooded into Ceuta, Spain are now 100,000 THOUSAND, with the “official” figure closer to 50,000
That’s IN ONE SINGLE DAY!!
