Canada’s Economy Will Be Among Those Most Affected by Global Downturn: OECD

The global economy is headed for a downturn, and Canada is one of the nations that will be hardest hit as the repercussions of Washington’s tariffs persist, warns the world’s economic watchdog.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has updated its forecast for the second time this year, predicting global gross domestic product will decrease from 3.3 percent in 2024 to 2.9 percent this year and in 2026, assuming that the tariff rates imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump are upheld despite legal disputes.

Musk’s Epstein Accusation Is Dead on Arrival. Here’s Why.

Oh dear. During the stunning rapid-fire deterioration of their working relationship, Elon Musk made a wild accusation against Donald Trump. Writing on social media, Musk declared, “@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” The implication here (which Musk was careful not to actually write) is that Trump is guilty of conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls, and that the evidence of this is hidden by the administration.

As separatist talk simmers in Alberta and Quebec, Canadians say breaking up will be hard to do: poll

Against a backdrop of fresh talk of Alberta separation and the constant spectre of Quebec’s sovereignty movement, a new national opinion poll found that most Canadians say breaking up will be hard to do.

A large majority of respondents nationally said any secession by one province would require negotiation with all provinces and must be supported by a clear majority of voters in the province, and most said separation cannot be a unilateral decision, and it should require approval by the federal House of Commons.

Toronto’s air quality currently among worst in world due to wildfire smoke

Toronto’s air quality is ranked among the worst in the world today as smoke from wildfires drifts into the region.

The wildfire smoke has prompted Environment Canada to issue a special air quality statement for the GTA, much of southern Ontario, as well as five other provinces and one territory.

Environment Canada’s David Phillips said as wildfires ramp up across the country, air quality is deteriorating. He noted that since the beginning of the month, there are 15 new out-of-control wildfires burning in northern Ontario and Western Canada.

Canadian public opinion of the U.S. hits a new low after Donald Trump’s election

Canadian public sentiment towards the United States has plummeted to new depths, a new report suggests, revealing how decades of Canadian goodwill toward its southern neighbour have reversed mere months after President Donald Trump took office.

The survey, conducted by the Environics Institute for Survey Research, also found the vast majority of respondents were strongly opposed to Canada becoming the 51st state.

“It’s really the worst collective opinions of the U.S. that we have recorded” in the more than 40 years the institute has been keeping track, said Keith Neuman, a senior associate at the Environics Institute for Survey Research. “By more than a two-to-one margin, Canadians’ opinions are negative rather than positive.”

Quebec Court Says Laws Restricting Children to 2 Parents Must be Changed

A Superior Court judge has ruled that children in Quebec can have more than two parents and ordered the province to revise its laws within 12 months to legally acknowledge other family dynamics.

The issue was brought forward by La Coalition des familles LGBT+ and three separate “multi-parent families” who say laws in the province that restrict parenthood of a child to two individuals discriminates and infringes on the rights of security of the person, integrity of the person, freedom, dignity, and privacy.

Christiane Amanpour – self important idiot

CNN’s famed war correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, is being mocked for claiming she’s terrified of traveling to the US — and even needs burner phones and other prep “as if I was going to North Korea.”

The British-born journalist, who has covered war zones extensively throughout her career, revealed that she spoke to CNN security and carried a burner phone when she traveled to the US last month to give an address at Harvard University.

CHARLEBOIS: Where’s the beef? Priced out of the Canadian grill

With summer weather finally settling in, Canadians are returning to a familiar ritual — firing up the barbecue. But as they approach the meat counter in search of steaks and burgers, many are encountering a far less familiar reality: Shockingly high prices. This year, the meat aisle has become a case study in supply-side economics and market dysfunction.

Since January, according to Statistics Canada, beef prices have surged at an alarming pace. Striploin is up 34.2%, top sirloin 33.7%, and rib cuts nearly 12%. Pork rib cuts and chicken breasts have each risen 5.9%, and even meatless burger patties are 6.8% more expensive. While all proteins in the so-called “meat trifecta” have climbed, beef leads the charge — by a wide margin.

How bitter Trump-Musk feud escalated – and what happens next

What happens when the richest person and the most powerful politician have a knock-down, drag-out fight?

The world is finding out – and it’s not a pretty picture. Donald Trump and Elon Musk have two of the biggest megaphones, and they have now turned them on each other, as a disagreement has ballooned into a war of words.

Trump has threatened Musk’s voluminous business dealings with the federal government, which form the lifeblood of his SpaceX programme.

I am sorry and annoyed this happened. It’s an unneeded distraction that plays into Democrat hands.

Isn’t Popeyes Halal? … ‘Unsafe’: Popeyes accused of storing chicken in residential garages in Ontario

A lawsuit filed against Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is accusing the fried chicken chain of buying “unsafe” meat from an unauthorized seller that was allegedly storing and packaging raw chicken in residential garages in Ontario.

The lawsuit was filed at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 26 by ADP, a former raw chicken supplier to Popeyes. The company alleges they lost their contract with Popeyes after bringing forward its concerns about the “unsafe supply” of products.

I find it very interesting that the company accused of supplying the Garage Chicken is not not named in the article. Popeyes is Halal.
