Prime Minister Mark Carney is ignoring warnings from taxpayers and the auto industry.
Yet his government is barrelling ahead with its plan to ban the sale of new gas or diesel cars and trucks.
So long as his boys are getting rich why shut the gravy train down?
Can lab-grown foie gras find a niche in the luxury food market?
Makers of lab-grown aka cell-cultured meat have pitched the product as a fix for our food chain’s environmental and humanitarian issues. But it comes with its own baggage—it is expensive to produce, it can’t nail the protein’s texture and it starts “life” as sludge.
This technology has run up against the same kind of problems that have stymied all kinds of alternative meats, whether made in a lab or created from vegetables. After bursting onto the market in the late 2010s, plant-based stars such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat had a momentary rise but have since struggled, as high costs, texture issues and consumer skepticism stalled widespread adoption.
The man who was shot dead early Thursday in the parking lot of Yorkdale Shopping Centre is reportedly a rapper linked to Montreal gangs.
Montreal’s La Presse reported that the victim is a rapper known as Lil Bentley, whose real name is Kashif Jamal Bentley-Jean.
When we were kids we used to head to Yorkdale just to hang around, get into some minor hijinks and head home, we were kids 10,11, 12.
Toronto is now a city of vibrant and diverse crime scenes.

The revelations unveiled by America First Legal mark a seismic moment in the ongoing debate over the weaponization of the Department of Justice under the Biden administration. For years, concerned parents who spoke up at school board meetings found themselves caught in the crosshairs of a federal government wielding its power not to protect free speech, but to stifle dissent. Now, explosive new documents obtained by America First Legal leave no room for doubt: the infamous memo from Attorney General Merrick Garland—which painted parents as potential “domestic terrorists,” for speaking out against COVID mandates, critical race theory, and gender ideology—was not a matter of law or public safety but was motivated by pure, unvarnished politics, and was the result of pressure from the White House.
A Leger opinion poll in June found 43 per cent of Canadians don’t favour accepting more migrants from besieged Iran. Twenty-seven per cent were in favor. The rest were undecided.
The war-torn theocratic nation of Iran has become the second highest source country of refugee claims to Canada (after India).
Last year, more than 6,600 people from the Persian Gulf country submitted asylum requests.
The volume of applicants from the Islamic Republic of Iran, also known as Persia, is a red flag to human-rights activists who worry Canada might inadvertently take in some applicants with close ties to the country’s brutally repressive regime.
The sudden change in the teenager was dramatic and unsettling, as if some internal switch had been thrown. Those who knew him could only wonder: What’s come over Vance Boelter?
One moment he was an affable college freshman, pursuing a family passion by trying out for the baseball team. The next, he was giving up the game and shedding his belongings — even his cherished baseball bat — as if to put away childish things.
Suddenly, he was telling dorm mates they were going to hell, denouncing a guest speaker on campus as “Satan’s worker” and announcing he was now “all in for Jesus.” It was a lifelong commitment he would just as suddenly violate 40 years later, prosecutors say, with an act of political assassination that would stun the nation and send his home state of Minnesota into communal mourning.
When it comes to Canada’s often tense debate around gun laws, most Canadians likely will not have heard of an RCMP database called the Firearms Reference Table, or FRT.
But to people like Melody Philistin, unexpected updates to this database have a personal impact.
“Yeah. It really sucks,” she said.
Philistin is a competitive shooter who recently represented Canada at an international event in the Czech Republic.
CBS’s decision to end its long-running ‘Late Show’ franchise touched off a firestorm—and is a grim sign for a challenged television format
“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” was profitable as recently as a few years ago.
Now, it loses about $40 million a year, according to a person familiar with its budget. On Thursday, CBS pulled the plug on the show and an entire franchise launched in 1993, making it the biggest casualty yet among late-night talk shows contending with cord-cutting, changing tastes among younger viewers and declining ad revenue.
The budget for the show, filmed in New York City’s Ed Sullivan Theater, includes a live band, a staff the host said numbered 200 people, and an annual salary of $20 million for Colbert, according to a person familiar with the show’s operations.
The Colbert show, like all late-night programming these days, was hemorrhaging money. But please, don't let that interfere with your conspiracy theory. https://t.co/R18rd2FV67

Since his election as Canada’s 24th prime minister, Mark Carney has enjoyed sustained strong approval ratings from Canadians, according to public opinion research. Among the reasons for this has been his willingness to reverse course on Trudeau-era policies that he either disagreed with, the public had demonstrated a clear dislike for, or policies that have been objectively proven to be failing.
This is a refreshing change, and it has earned the prime minister the admiration of many Canadians who hope to be governed by leaders who are prepared to shelve partisan entrenchment and take the risk of triggering the internal disloyalty of colleagues who have overcommitted to bad ideas by being willing to change course.

The Obama administration’s top officials committed a “treasonous conspiracy” by manufacturing and politicizing intelligence to create the false narrative that led to the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe, according to newly-declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard.

It’s difficult to argue that climate change isn’t the most pressing threat to our agri-food sector. Farmers, processors, distributors, retailers, and transporters have all been forced to adapt in real time to extreme weather events, shifting growing seasons, and volatile conditions. From droughts to floods to wildfires, climate change has tested the resilience of every link in the food supply chain.
Arrests were made as pro-Palestinian protesters chanted “f— your Jewish state” in central London on Saturday.
Pro-Israel counter-protesters chanted “there is no genocide” at thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
Marchers gathered across the country calling for the ban on Palestine Action to be reversed, amid police warnings that those showing support for the proscribed group faced arrest.
