Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation has mailed out suspension letters to truck drivers who the province believes “dishonestly” obtained their Class A licences during testing or training.
A spokesperson for the ministry told Newstalk 1010 that 185 drivers received the letter.
In a statement to CTV News, Dakota Brasier, a spokesperson for Ontario’s transportation minister, said the province has “zero tolerance for bad actors on our roads.”
Poland said Wednesday it had scrambled aircraft alongside allies to shoot down “hostile objects” violating its airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine, a first for a NATO country during the war.
“Aircraft have used weapons against hostile objects,” Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on social media, adding: “We are in constant contact with NATO command.”
The incursion came as Russia unleashed a barrage of strikes across Ukraine, including in the western city of Lviv, around 50 miles (80 kilometers) from the Polish border.
Ford government declines to say if temporary foreign worker program should end
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says young people aren’t looking “hard enough” for work in the province and suggested unemployed people should consider “fast food” as a potential job choice.
At the same time, the Ford government has declined to take a position on whether the federal government should eliminate the temporary foreign worker program, which other Canadian premiers have suggested is one of the root causes of the country’s employment woes.

Channel migrants are in line for millions of pounds in compensation from the Home Office for being “unlawfully” detained in “inhumane” conditions.
Almost 200 asylum seekers have lodged legal claims for their unlawful detention and mistreatment by the Home Office at the Manston migrant holding centre near Dover, citing the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Allegations include sexual assault, physical abuse and theft of property by guards, as well as disease-ridden, dirty and cold conditions, with outbreaks of diphtheria and scabies, forcible separation of families and denial of medical aid.

The federal government considered using “binding legislation” and monetary penalties to make grocery giants stabilize prices, a sign the government was at one point willing to take sweeping action to address public anger over soaring grocery costs and rising corporate profits.
A 2024 document obtained by the IJF through its Open By Default database reveals public servants in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada proposed legislation forcing grocers to adopt a “code of conduct” meant to reduce food inflation.

The Belgian municipality of Molenbeek, a town in the greater Brussels area, is organizing Molenfest 2025 as a run-up for their bid to become one of the EU’s cultural capitals in 2030 (ECOC30).
The festival celebrates the diversity of the town’s population (140 nationalities make up the almost 100 thousand inhabitants), but many now dare ask the question whether that is a good thing.
OTTAWA — Liberals say they’re keeping a close eye on the rollout of a new Alberta law that prohibits transgender athletes from competing in female-only athletic divisions.
“Our government believes in a sport system that provides opportunities for all Canadians to participate and excel in sport, including the transgender community. This means a sports system that is welcoming, inclusive, safe, fair, rooted in good governance and operations,” Alyson Fair, a spokesperson for Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden, said in an email.
John Cleese has accused BBC bosses of being “stupid” and “clowns” after an unsuccessful meeting to discuss comedy ideas.
The 85-year-old actor, whose Fawlty Towers sitcom was first broadcast five decades ago, shared the withering assessment after a conversation with two executives from the broadcaster held several weeks ago.
Young people who can’t find work aren’t looking “hard enough,” Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday, less than a week after Statistics Canada reported Ontario shed 26,000 jobs in August — the most of any province.
The remarks during a breakfast speech to the Toronto Region Board of Trade earned the premier rebukes from opposition party leaders, who accused him of being out of touch with a tough job market as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs take a toll on the economy.
“It drives me nuts when I see young, healthy people and they’ll call me saying, ‘I can’t find a job,’” Ford told the crowd. “I assure you, if you look hard enough, it … may be in fast food or something else, but you’ll find a job.”
What a pig.
I don’t know about you, but I think we should create career opportunities in the sectors people want.
Clearly, Doug Ford disagrees.
Instead of driving growth, he’s telling unemployed Ontarians to abandon their talents and dreams to chase the few fast food jobs left.#onpoli pic.twitter.com/Az870pNA2l

In what may be the least shocking political news of the year, this past Friday the Carney government announced a twelve month pause to the Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate, which had been set to go into effect this coming January. (Or, as they put it in their obnoxious public policy-speak, they plan to “give the auto sector flexibility by waiving 2026 model vehicles from Electric Vehicle Availability Standard requirements.”)
Well, of course they did! As I’ve pointed out, time and time again, the Liberal’s EV mandate isn’t just a gross violation of our freedom that will make our lives harder and more expensive. It is also completely and utterly unworkable!
For people who are selfish and immature (as I was throughout my 20s), one of the best things about having children, provided you’re not insane or suffering from a personality disorder, is that it forces you to extend your world beyond your own boundaries. Suddenly, these tiny lives have needs much greater than yours, and making the world a better place extends beyond your lifespan and into your descendants’ futures.
Pro-Palestinian activists are disrupting one of America’s most powerful tech giants.
Pro-Palestinian activists have found a new target: Microsoft. Radicals have disrupted the company’s keynote speech; organized encampments and other demonstrations at its headquarters; sent a kayak “flotilla” to the homes of Microsoft executives; and staged an “occupation” of Microsoft president Brad Smith’s office, where they allegedly tried to plant listening devices.
The leader of the campaign is No Azure for Apartheid, a group of current and former Microsoft employees. The group, whose name references the company’s cloud-computing platform, has called on Microsoft to terminate its Azure contracts with the Israeli government, publicly endorse a ceasefire, pay reparations to Palestinians, and “ensure the safety of Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and allied employees.”
Toronto’s homebuilding activity in the first half of 2025 was the lowest on a per-capita basis since 1996, according to a new report from Canada’s national housing agency.
The drop was driven by a 60 per cent year-over-year decrease in condo starts, the new “Housing Supply Report” by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) found.
”A pullback in investor demand during the first half of 2025 reduced project feasibility, leading to cancellations, delays, and a sharp drop in construction,” the report said, adding that many industry actors are calling for reduced construction costs and development charges.
