President Trump warns that Chicago is ‘about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR’

President Donald Trump threatened Illinois’s biggest city with a ‘Chipocalypse’ ahead of expected Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

Trump, 79, took to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday to post a meme about himself, where he wrote: ‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning.

‘Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.’

Draft major projects list not good enough for Ontario, Ford says

Cross Ontario Tunnel planned

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said a draft list reported by The Globe and Mail of 32 potential major projects to fast-track across the country is not good enough for his province and that he discussed the issue directly with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday.

The list, which is a government document obtained by The Globe, describes potential projects based on proposals Ottawa has received from premiers and others in recent months. It covers all provinces and territories, and includes ports, roads, bridges, mines and a range of energy projects.

Why Venezuelan F-16s buzzing US warships prove Trump right

First the boat, then the buzz. On Tuesday, an American strike in the Caribbean shredded a vessel ferrying narcotics out of Venezuela, killing eleven alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang – which Caracas, strategically, dismissed as an AI hallucination. Two days later, Nicolás Maduro tried his own spectacle, dispatching a pair of F-16s to roar over the USS Jason Dunham, one of the U.S. destroyers recently sent on a counter-narcotics patrol off Venezuela’s coast.

The maneuvers – and the steady drumbeat of pressure that preceded them – have regime-changers daydreaming about intervention and restrainers losing sleep. But before mistaking the noise for reality, it’s worth asking: what is Washington trying to achieve?

Where the boys aren’t

The gender gap in higher education has been widening for decades. Do universities need to do more to entice men back?

As classes begin for students at Canadian universities this month, one group will stand out for its relative underrepresentation: young men.

Even before enrolment data is available, it’s safe to predict that for every 100 Canadian students on campus this fall, nearly 60 will be women and only about 40 will be men.

This gender gap has existed for more than two decades, and universities are well aware of it – but they haven’t done much to address it. Discussion of the subject is not quite taboo, but it’s uncomfortable.

That’s likely because out in the working world, men are doing just fine. The data show that men still earn more than women. They also tend to hold more positions of power, including at universities.


Everything is great according to the Globe but stupid boys get paid more and still dominate STEM education and until STEM equals WOKE mean stupid boys must die or something.

The Globe may or may not have interviewed a white guy as a subject for this study which says more than they know.

The Star Celebrates The 3rd World Dumpster Fire On Your Doorstep

Ridgeway Plaza is a problem other cities can only dream of having. Here’s how to stop it from becoming a nightmare

Arriving at Ridgeway Plaza is strange. It’s like a downtown but located on the edge of town. Crowds, commerce, and life all in a place meant to be much quieter.

So much so that Mississauga is trying to curtail it, but it’s a problem of the city’s own making: designing cities almost exclusively for cars quickly becomes trouble.

Ridgeway Plaza has become a phenomenon, attracting people from across the GTA and North America to a series of strip malls that offer a variety of restaurants and shops primarily, but not exclusively, Middle Eastern and South Asian. It’s the multicultural Canadian dream at its most vibrant, but it’s clashing with another Canadian dream: car driving.

Should Trans People Be Banned From Owning Guns?

The Trump administration is currently weighing whether transgender Americans should be banned from buying firearms. This proposal comes after a tragedy in which a trans shooter murdered children at a Minneapolis church. The horror is undeniable. The temptation to act is overwhelming. Yet the cure being floated may be worse than the disease. Far worse.

The three fiscal taboos Canada can no longer afford

 

It’s possible Mark Carney never meant to use the a-word. He was answering a question in French, after all, and you know how that can trip him up sometimes. But there it was.

Asked if the fall budget would be an austerity budget, the Prime Minister did not attempt to deny it. Neither did he answer another question, not asked, a favourite tactic of politicians. Rather, he adapted it to a well-worn formula: “It’s an austerity and investment budget at the same time.”


Coyne’s role as a stenographer for our ruling class is a given.

How he can write an entire column on government spending and the economy without once mentioning that GDP has been destroyed through corporate Canada’s abuse of our immigration system that saw them callously import hordes of unskilled 3rd world migrants is beyond belief.

That’s not a productivity problem Coyne that’s just sleazy businessmen lining their pockets without giving a damn about the cost their greed has inflicted on Canadian society.

In a letter released Friday, the Minister of Education says he has launched a full governance review after high school students in Parry Sound were forced to start the school year online.

The review into the Near North District School Board will be looking into the actions surrounding the partial demolition of the community’s old high school and delays in the construction of the area’s new kindergarten to Grade 12 school.
