Tick, tick, tick. That’s the sound of the timer counting down to Aug. 19, the date on which U.S. President Donald Trump’s 50 per cent tariffs on Canada will kick in. Or not. Already one former Trump advisor is predicting that Trump will TACO (Trump always chickens out), but in the unpredictable world we live in, there’s no guarantee.
The @liberal_party have imported hordes of violent misogynistic men who believe punching a woman in the face is the liberal thing to do!
I guess it beats the “elbows up“ move. Punching a woman in the face, makes a stronger political statement than flapping your arms. https://t.co/NbNqwrCbhu

As the U.S. Senate race in Michigan begins, the battle centers on Republican Mike Rogers calling his opponent by his full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El Sayed. The Muslim candidate says Rogers is Islamophobic for pointing out that El Sayed is a Muslim.
Been there. Done that. Let’s learn from the One Big Ass Mistake America made 18 years ago. Not calling out Obama’s Muslim heritage enabled his election, which allowed him to set Middle East relations back a century because communists thrive on chaos—and Iran specializes in creating chaos.
Erin, Ontario:
A group of Punjabi men bounce pigeons up and down on platforms attached to long poles. When the pigeons try to fly away they are yanked back down by a short string tied to their feet.Last year, a group of men in the same town were caught on security camera… https://t.co/3JeoPveSJx pic.twitter.com/LNGp6dE8d5

The bodies of over 1,000 Quebecers went unclaimed last year. What’s going on?
Called in as the chaplain for a dying woman a few years ago, Father Rodney Clark recalls the harsh administrative reality that immediately followed her death.
The woman was homeless and had chosen medical assistance in dying at the Joliette, Que., hospital after her cancer metastasized.
But with no relatives around or financial resources, her body was essentially abandoned.
You’ve probably seen the report over the weekend where the current iteration of the Irish Republican Army, the old Catholic militia/terror group from the long-running sectarian war in Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the previous century, has now given itself a new purpose…
A medal awarded to a high-ranking Royal Canadian Air Force officer is raising questions about this country’s involvement in the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
Late last month, the Government of Canada announced that Col. David K. Turenne, a former CF-18 fighter pilot, had been approved for the Meritorious Service Cross. That medal recognizes military deeds “performed in an outstandingly professional manner, according to a rare high standard that brings considerable benefit or great honour to the Canadian Forces,” according to its official description.
Fake news – Canada has no working fighter jets
The urge to treat political disagreement as moral failure did not originate in American universities or human resources departments. It is an impulse older than the Spanish Inquisition, and it always arrives wearing the robes of a higher cause.
Canadians continued to file for insolvency in the second quarter at levels not seen in more than a decade as the housing market slump and rising costs caught up with consumers, according to the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy.
OSB data released on Monday shows 37,523 Canadian consumers filed for insolvency in the second quarter – a 6.9-per-cent increase compared to the same period last year, and the highest quarterly volume since 2009. There were 402 more insolvencies during Q2 as compared to the first quarter of the year. The increase marked two consecutive quarters above 2009 levels; that was the all-time highest full year for consumer insolvency filings.
A Syrian court has sentenced the country’s former president Bashar al-Assad and his brother Maher to death in absentia for crimes against humanity and war crimes during the 14-year civil war, in which about half a million people died.
The two men fled to Moscow after being ousted by a lightning rebel offensive in December 2024 which toppled the dictatorial regime in just 11 days.
The cost of building the Ontario Line has risen once again and Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay says that the total budget will remain “under pressure” amid “one of the worst supply chain shocks” in decades.
Lindsay confirmed at an unrelated press conference on Tuesday that the awarding of a $4.32 billion contract for three-kilometres of tunneling underneath Pape Avenue and the construction of two underground stations has pushed the current cost of the Ontario Line to around $34 billion.
That is more than three times the original $10.9 billion cost estimate that was first shared for the project back in 2019.
Someone is getting rich.
Yesterday I wrote about AOC’s “defense” of the woke insanity of the past few years.
“Woke one was craaaazzy.”
Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and his American counterpart are aiming to present U.S. President Donald Trump a path to a potential trade deal as early as Monday, CBC News has learned.
Sources who were recently briefed on the matter say the hope is the joint proposal can be presented to Trump at least a day before the president’s latest tariff deadline.
Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, appeared Tuesday morning in Manhattan state court for a final pre-trial conference, where the judge addressed contentious issues surrounding media access at the highly anticipated trial.
Judge Gregory Carro announced that there would be an overflow courtroom for the 8 September trial. The media access plan for Mangione’s case did not initially include an overflow courtroom – which is common in high-profile cases, such as Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial.
Olivia Chow was not elected as the development industry’s mayor. Yet three years into her term, her administration has assembled the most ambitious municipal housing agenda Toronto has seen since amalgamation.
That is not the same thing as solving the housing crisis, which is real and persistent. It is, however, a record worth taking seriously.
This week offered the clearest evidence yet. Standing in Scarborough, Mayor Chow and Prime Minister Mark Carney announced more than $2.7 billion in federal investment, alongside more than $700 million from the city of Toronto, to advance 18 projects representing more than 5,600 rental homes.
Just what we needed more “announcements”.
Why we were living in a virtual “announcement desert”!
