An Ontario man who threatened to “kill as many Jews as possible” by bombing every synagogue in Toronto has been sentenced to sixty days house arrest.
Waisuddin Akbari was found guilty of uttering threatening remarks in November.

Kelly McParland: How Toronto built a condo glut amid a housing shortage
In Toronto today it’s deemed entirely acceptable to build a mammoth residential/retail/commercial/hotel tower reaching 80, 90 or 100-and-more storeys into an increasingly obliterated sky, and be celebrated for your vision, ambition and architectural brashness. But just try to get permission for a modest structure able to house six families and see how far you get.
Canadian Legislation Provides A Chance To Stop Medically Assisted Murder
Scott Adams, author of the comic strip Dilbert, recently disclosed that he had planned to end his life due to the pain of his untreatable cancer. In May, he announced that he only expected to live a few more months. At the time, alternative treatments were no help.
He scheduled his suicide for June 29.
DOGE builds AI tool to cut 50 percent of federal regulations
The U.S. DOGE Service is using a new artificial intelligence tool to slash federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of Washington’s regulatory mandates by the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and four government officials familiar with the plans.
The tool, called the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,” is supposed to analyze roughly 200,000 federal regulations to determine which can be eliminated because they are no longer required by law, according to a PowerPoint presentation obtained by The Post that is dated July 1 and outlines DOGE’s plans. Roughly 100,000 of those rules would be deemed worthy of trimming, the PowerPoint estimates — mostly through the automated tool with some staff feedback. The PowerPoint also suggests the AI tool will save the United States trillions of dollars by reducing compliance requirements, slashing the federal budget and unlocking unspecified “external investment.”
Ottawa says Hong Kong bounties for activists are a threat to Canadian sovereignty
Ottawa is condemning Hong Kong’s announcement of arrest warrants and bounties for 19 pro-democracy activists, including several in Canada, as transnational repression that threatens this country’s sovereignty.
One of those targeted in Canada, Victor Ho, on Sunday warned Canadian politicians now urging closer ties with Beijing to be mindful of repression practised by the ruling Chinese Communist Party.
When AI Stops Thinking and Starts Preaching
A computer is only as good as the data you put into it. That warning from the early days of computing — garbage in, garbage out — has never been more relevant than in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).
AI now drives everything from search engines to image generators, yet instead of providing objective, data-backed insights, it too often parrots progressive narratives, twisting facts to match feelings.
Case in point: despite U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that over 75% of Americans identify as white, AI-generated images of “typical Americans” often show mostly non-white groups. This isn’t intelligence. It’s indoctrination, built into algorithms by ideologues in Silicon Valley.
‘Net Zero could destroy civilisation’
Heatwaves in the UK, floods in Texas and wildfires in southern Europe have all been held up as portents of a coming climate apocalypse. Ed Miliband, the UK energy secretary, warned earlier this month that the British ‘way of life’ is under threat and ‘no sector or part of society is immune from those risks’. But is climate change really proving to be as dangerous as the eco-alarmists claim? And can it justify the extortionate costs of Net Zero, the drive to decarbonise every aspect of our lives?
For Pierre Poilievre, defending Freedom Convoy convicts is a political survival strategy
Anyone expecting a gentler, more moderate Pierre Poilievre to emerge following his electoral defeat can put to rest any speculation that the Conservative leader is planning a great reset.
Despite internal grumblings that Poilievre’s combative tone and coziness with far-right types has been bringing their party down, his Conservatives are back and picking fights with Crown prosecutors trying “Freedom Convoy” leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.
‘Trump ate von der Leyen for breakfast’: EU tears itself apart over ‘badly negotiated’ trade deal – while Labour admits Brexit got UK better terms
European leaders have rounded on their ‘badly negotiated’ US trade deal which has left the bloc with worse terms than Britain – saying Donald Trump ‘ate von der Leyen for breakfast’.
It comes after the US president announced he had agreed ‘the biggest deal ever made’ between the US and the European Union following a meeting with European Commission chief Ursuala von der Leyen.
The agreement will subject the EU to 15per cent tariffs on most of its goods entering America.
Europol Chief: “12-Year-Olds Kill for €20,000”
In a recent interview with Belgian L’Echo, Catherine De Bolle, the executive director of Europol, who has headed the agency since 2018, shared shocking facts about drug cartels, child exploitation, and cybercrime in Europe.
De Bolle explained that since the pandemic, criminals have fully embraced the digital world. This is also true for drug trafficking, where the bulk of activities happen online. “Encrypted messages allow a container of cocaine to be exchanged for a building, money laundering is done digitally, and payments are made in cryptocurrencies,” she explained.
HILL: Our Canada, consumed by hate, paralyzed by fear
Are you like me? Do you resist reading the morning news because there only seems to be “bad news”?
I remember a time not so long ago when Leah and I felt it our civic duty to be informed. While enjoying our morning coffee, we would spread our newspapers out on our kitchen counter and pore over the headlines, picking out what we believed to be the must-read stories of the day. We would proceed to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly.
Barry Appleton: Canada submits to China’s algorithmic colonialism
On Nov. 6, 2024, Canada ordered TikTok’s local offices expelled but left its influence engine untouched. The result? Fewer Canadian jobs, no new oversight, and continued foreign control over our digital public square. It makes about as much sense as banning foreign diplomats while allowing their propaganda broadcasts to continue uninterrupted.
Canada’s shutdown order, issued after a national security review, eliminates TikTok’s 350 Canadian employees and halts cultural sponsorships worth millions. Yet the algorithm that shapes what Canadians see, share, and believe remains entirely in Chinese hands. We have managed to achieve the worst of both worlds: less accountability with zero additional protection.
Ratcliffe: Statute of Limitations Won’t Protect Brennan — Or Hillary and Comey Either
As Cypress Hill once warned: When the shizz goes down, you better get ready. According to current CIA director John Ratcliffe, the shizz may come down sooner than some authors of the Russia-collusion hoax think. Thanks to the precedent-breaking lawfare of the Joe Biden Regency, a few of them will have nowhere to hide when it does, too.
Ford walks back vow to have province issue asylum seekers work permits so his fat cat corporate cronies can get more slaves faster than Feds can provide
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is retracting a vow he made last week to have his province issue its own work permits to asylum seekers in the face of what he said were federal government delays that have left refugee applicants in limbo.
“I don’t want to take the responsibility off the federal government,” Mr. Ford told reporters outside his office at Queen’s Park on Monday. “But in saying that, if you have a pulse and you’re healthy, you need to be working.”
