Get those kids new parents.
Pride Toronto’s shortfall has increased to $900,000 — a jump from $700,000 10 days ago — due, in part, to such corporate sponsors as Google, Nissan, and Home Depot pulling out.
But the organization’s executive director Kojo Modeste is hoping others will still come on board — including the province and the feds — with other sponsors like The Ballroom, No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart and SEIU Healthcare Union now stepping up to the plate.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came out swinging Tuesday, delivering a sharp and unapologetic rebuke to a reporter who seemed more interested in political theater than the brutal reality unfolding on the streets of Los Angeles. During a tense back-and-forth in the briefing room, Leavitt swiftly dismantled the reporter’s attempt to reframe the ongoing anti-ICE riots as mostly “peaceful protests,” making it clear that the administration isn’t buying the media’s favorite narrative. While Los Angeles burns and law enforcement officers are under siege, the reporter seemed preoccupied with downplaying the violence.

G7: Why there is hope of a Carney-Trump tariff breakthrough at Alberta summit
Global trade will be a major focus at next week’s G7 summit as world leaders gather in Alberta, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who will be making his first appearance at a major international event since returning to the White House in January.
Experts and ambassadors are expressing some optimism that this type of event could be a difference-maker in convincing Trump to reduce the amount of tariffs charged on imports to the U.S.
Any possible concessions on the trade front would be welcomed by countries such as Canada, that are facing economic hardship because of tariffs.

Holly shit!
It's getting reported that the Mark Carney negotiations with Donald Trump's tariffs include giving America guaranteed first right of refusal on Canada's natural resources.
This is the opposite of diversification and total submission.

With all the problems facing municipalities, from parks that look like refugee camps to potholes that can swallow a Mini Cooper, you’d think city councillors would have better things to do than dream up new ways to limit free expression.
Yet in the past few years, city councils throughout the country have created new restrictions on speech in council meetings, in streets, in parks, even in backyards. Many of these restrictions violate the Charter. The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) is fighting back through litigation, with our new report on “Canada’s Most Censorious Bylaws” and with our new Municipal Muzzle Award for the city with the worst restriction.
Families are fleeing their homes in Ballymena after masked rioters began to single out properties belonging to foreign nationals during a second night of race-related disorder in the Northern Irish town.
Witnesses described how gangs wearing black clothing and balaclavas shouted “where are the foreigners” as they marauded the streets, smashing windows and torching houses.

Canada has been “jolted awake” by new threats to its security and sovereignty, “including from an emboldened Russia and an assertive China,” Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, said in a June 9 speech on defense spending.
“Russia’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine shattered previous assumptions of European post-Cold War security, leading to sharp reappraisals of the costs of collective responsibility and underscoring how precious and precarious are international law, sovereignty, territorial integrity and human rights,” he said.

A student who tried to murder an MP after being radicalised by an al-Qaeda cleric can be released from prison.
Roshonara Choudhry, then 21, was jailed for life for a minimum of 15 years for stabbing Sir Stephen Timms twice in the stomach in May 2010, and for two offences of possessing an offensive weapon.
The attack on the now social security minister is thought to be the first al-Qaeda inspired attempt to assassinate a politician on British soil.
Canada has moved up one spot to become the fourth largest recipient country of asylum seekers, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency.
Last year, Canada received a record 174,000 new refugee claims, of the 3.1 million new claims reported worldwide, said the agency’s 2024 global trends report released on Thursday. Canada was behind the U.S. (729,100), Egypt (433,900), Germany (229,800). In fifth was Spain at 167,400.
This country was also the second-largest resettlement country globally, welcoming 49,300 refugees in 2024, and led the world in granting permanent residence to 27,400 refugees.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) officially booted 25-year-old David Hogg from his vice chair position on Wednesday after his attempts to primary certain Democrats in Congress.
In May, the DNC moved to void Hogg from his position following his announcement to spend millions to help unseat select Democrat members in the 2026 primaries. Results from a virtual vote, first obtained by Politico, showed Hogg had been removed and will be required to run again for his position next week.
One of the first petitions to Canada’s new Parliament has landed, and the topic is slavery. Endorsed by Gord Johns, an MP from British Columbia who managed to survive the recent NDP annihilation, it demands an apology to Black-Canadians from the Government of Canada: “Black Canadians have endured centuries of systemic racism, beginning with transatlantic slavery, followed by legalized segregation and ongoing institutional discrimination in policing, education, employment, housing, health care and the justice system.… The Government of Canada has yet to formally apologize.”
The US has launched a review of its multi-billion dollar submarine deal with the UK and Australia, saying the security pact must fit its “America First” agenda.
Under the trilateral pact, believed to be aimed at countering China, Australia is to get its first nuclear-powered subs from the US, before the allies create a new fleet by sharing cutting-edge tech.
Both Australia and the UK – which did its own review last year – have played down news of the US probe, saying it is natural for a new administration to reassess.
Asuspected Indian government agent had Jagmeet Singh under close surveillance, prompting the RCMP to place the New Democratic Party leader in police protection 18 months ago, sources have told Global News.
The agent, who is allegedly tied to activities directed by the Indian government, had access to intimate knowledge of Singh’s daily routines, travel and family, according to the sources familiar with the matter.
