WARMINGTON: Smoking out Jews with smoke bombs in Big Smoke unacceptable

In Toronto, Jews and Jewish-owned businesses are being systematically smoked out – but this time something has been done about it.

After a pregnant woman was forced from an outdoor patio because of red smoke billowing in from a protest, Toronto Police indicated enough is enough.

What Top Democrats Said Then, And Now, About Joe Biden’s Decline

The release of a new book by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, detailing President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline during his term in office, has landed like a bomb inside an already disoriented Democratic Party — sending shockwaves through its ranks.

Obtained by Newsweek ahead of its publication on May 20, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again paints a stark portrait of a presidency in turmoil—and of a leader whose public image of control and clarity masked private struggles with memory, stamina and recognition.


Worse than imagined.

What Were We Thinking?

A new book reveals the bad science and corrupt leadership behind America’s disastrous pandemic school closures.

In the early spring of 2020, freelance writer David Zweig was, like most suburban dads, willing to follow the advice of experts. “People were dying from a scary new disease, and my family and my neighbors were readily compliant with the governor’s orders to stay home and stay apart from each other,” he writes in his new book, An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions. As a member of the “laptop class,” and living in a charming Hudson Valley village, Zweig knew that he and his family were among the luckiest cohort of Americans when it came to weathering the Covid-19 pandemic.

What E.M. told the jury over 9 days of testimony in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial

The woman at the centre of the sexual assault trial for five former players with Canada’s world junior hockey team finished a marathon nine days of testimony this week in London, Ont. — before a sudden turn in the proceedings.

The accused men are Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod, who’ve all pleaded not guilty. E.M., whose identity is protected under a standard publication ban, gave her account of the alleged assaults and answered hundreds of questions from the men’s lawyers.

Iran Is Using North Korea’s Playbook — And the US Is Falling for It Again

As the United States continues negotiations with Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons, if it does not already have them, it has become clear that the Islamic Republic’s regime is not pursuing these talks in good faith.

Far from viewing negotiations as a means toward a peaceful resolution, the Iranian regime appears to see them as a tool that has proven successful before, not only for itself but also for its authoritarian ally, North Korea.

CHARLEBOIS: Elbows up, food prices up — until feds quietly backed down

Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Canada’s food industry is now facing fewer counter-tariffs when importing products from the United States, except for orange juice, coffee and alcohol. For many, this came as a surprise. According to the federal government’s own records, on April 16 — in the middle of the election campaign — Mark Carney, not yet elected, opted to eliminate most of the retaliatory tariffs imposed by his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

James Comey’s Insane ‘86 47’ Threat

Former FBI Director James Comey posted a photo of a “cool shell formation” from his beach walk today. In the photo, shells were laid out to read “86 47” on the sand.

Eighty-six, a well-known term by Americans to mean “to get rid of,” indicates intent to the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump.

CBC has escaped defunding, for now. So what happens next?

OTTAWA – At the beginning of the year, CBC was facing the very real prospect of being defunded by a Conservative government.

But after the political winds shifted in favour of Mark Carney’s Liberals, the public broadcaster was granted a reprieve — giving the minority Liberal government what could be a short runway to implement its proposed changes.

“I do think that the Carney victory has secured the future of the CBC for now, at least as long as they’re in power,” said Jessica Johnson, a senior fellow at McGill University’s Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy.

What happens next? The Liberal party will continue to fund the CBC’s propaganda.

‘Effectively Bankrupt’ Canada Post should end daily door-to-door delivery, allow part-time work on weekends, report recommends

As Canada Post and the union representing its workers inch closer to another potential strike, a report by the commission charged with examining the Crown corporation’s finances has called for the end of door-to-door mail delivery to homes — one of the main reasons for the previous work stoppage in November.

But the report, authored by industrial inquiry commissioner William Kaplan, also says that daily delivery to businesses should be maintained.

The service cut would help the corporation’s overall bleak financial picture, the report notes, a situation it highlights in great detail.

‘Teachers are having scissors thrown at them – we’ve had enough’

Can’t they just get Lulu to sing a song?

When Sophie Walker graduated and became a teacher 10 years ago, she felt excited for the future.

But this week the science teacher walked out on strike with 50 colleagues at her Ipswich school in protest at pupil behaviour.

Teachers at Westbourne Academy are having chairs and scissors thrown at them, and many are struggling with their mental health, Ms Walker says.

Experts point to anomalies in ‘unprecedented’ case of missing N.S. children

Two weeks after two young siblings vanished without a trace in rural Nova Scotia, experts are pointing to anomalies in what they say is an unprecedented case that deviates from a typical missing children investigation.

Lilly Sullivan, 6, and brother Jack Sullivan, 4, have been missing since May 2. That’s when police received a 911 call reporting that they had wandered away from their home in Lansdowne Station, a sparsely populated area about 140 kilometres northeast of Halifax.

My week at the Diddy trial, where laughter gave way to disturbed silence

At 6.30am on Monday a pavement in lower Manhattan is thick with young people, dressed as if for a party. The lady in front of me is in a black frock and matching hat. It might be a line for a nightclub, or the queue for Shakespeare in the Park.

But it’s another show altogether that has gripped New York and indeed most of the country. It is the trial of Sean Combs, the rapper, music and television mogul known variously as Diddy, P Diddy and Puff Daddy.

At about 8am the great snaking line of podcasters, YouTubers and assorted gawkers, mixed in with newspaper and TV reporters, is fed into a glass lobby of the courthouse, where it winds back and forth like the queue at airport security.

Feral teen girl who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in fatal swarming sentenced to probation

TORONTO — A teen girl who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a deadly group attack on a homeless man in Toronto has been sentenced to 15 months of probation, with the judge taking into account time she has already spent in custody and the “unlawful” strip searches she underwent.

The girl entered a surprise plea in February as she and another teen were being tried for second-degree murder in the death of 59-year-old Kenneth Lee.
