Tom Mulcair: Avi Lewis is on to something with his plans to nationalize everything from pharmaceuticals to groceries

Avi Lewis is a truly unconventional politician. He has managed to make himself a champion of young Canadians, which is quite a feat given that he’ll be in his 60th year in May.

They provided a lot of energy to his campaign but also tend to vote less and that could prove a challenge.

Under his leadership, the NDP will cement its role as a safe place for equity-seeking groups, a part of its branding that was a reflection of Jack Layton’s core beliefs.

Avi is on something not on to something. Never underestimate the stupidity of today’s university students or the media’s Avi cheerleaders.

Muslim Terrorism: Bondi gunman loses court bid to suppress names of his family

The alleged Bondi gunman has lost his court bid to suppress the names and addresses of his mother, brother and sister due to fears over their safety.

Lawyers for Naveed Akram – who is facing 59 charges over December’s attack on a Jewish festival on Bondi Beach that killed 15 people – argued that his family could be targeted by vigilantes and had already experienced abuse.

Last month, details of Akram’s family were suppressed under an interim order but on Thursday, a Sydney court lifted it after several media outlets opposed the move.

It’s obvious where Mark Carney stands on forced labour in China

Prime Minister Mark Carney is not oblivious.

He knows, as any reasonable person would, that it looks terrible for one of his MPs to try to undermine an expert witness on forced labour in China during a parliamentary committee meeting.
Last week, Liberal MP Michael Ma grilled Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa, about whether she has personally seen forced labour practices on the ground in

China. “Have you witnessed forced labour in Xinjiang?” Mr. Ma asked Ms. McCuaig-Johnston, as if foreign nationals are invited to privately interview Uyghurs working on factory floors. “Yes or no? So did you get that from hearsay?”

Black businessman bullied into dumping plans for new nightclub after white, liberal women told him the name was RACIST

Outraged White Liberal Women

A black Kansas City businessman has been forced to scrap his plans to open a new nightclub after a local football fan club comprised mainly of liberal white women complained that the name was ‘racist.’

Casio McCombs said this week he was ‘deeply disappointed’ that his plans to open a club named Sundown HiFi were halted due to outcry from KC Blue Crew, a supporters club for women’s soccer team KC Current.

The ‘sundown’ name was deemed by the group to be a reference to a ‘sundown town’, a 19th Century term for all-white communities that would practice racial segregation and terrorize any black people unfortunate enough to find themselves on its streets after dark.

Without the US, Nato is left naked

It would be the biggest divorce in history. For eight decades, Nato has weathered internal disputes, enemy plots and shooting wars in Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan.

But if Donald Trump acts on his threat to finally leave, having told The Telegraph he is strongly considering pulling out after allies failed to join his war on Iran, the transatlantic family will be torn asunder. At which point, the club that calls itself the most successful alliance in history may as well close its doors. And the pain could match that of the most acrimonious breakups.

Watchdog finds little oversight over multi-billion-dollar Indigenous procurement program

Indian Money Dance

The federal government repeatedly ignored key safeguards meant to ensure that legitimate Indigenous businesses would benefit from a multi-billion-dollar procurement program, a watchdog’s investigation has shown.

In a report made public Thursday, the Office of the Procurement Ombud said Indigenous Services Canada showed a “systemic disregard” for the principles behind the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB), repeatedly failed to verify companies awarded work were Indigenous-owned, and failed to keep track of how the decades-old program actually benefitted Indigenous businesses.

Syrian Leader Contradicts Merz on Migrant Returns

The German chancellor said up to 80% of Syrians could return within three years, citing Damascus—an account now disputed.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s claim that Syria supports large-scale returns of its nationals has been contradicted by the country’s interim president.

The German chancellor stated in Berlin, alongside Syrian interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa, that around 80% of the Syrians currently living in Germany should return to Syria within three years. It was the central figure in the CDU’s new narrative: migration toughness, Syrian reconstruction ,and the recovery of political control after a decade of crisis.
