The Federal Court has dismissed a proposed $2.5-billion class action lawsuit alleging systemic anti-Black racism against public service workers in the federal government.
After five years of legal arguments, the court agreed with a government request to reject the lawsuit without the merits of the complaint being argued or adjudicated at a trial.

Hundreds of people protested at Tesla dealerships across the US over the weekend, as the backlash against Elon Musk and the Trump administration continued despite a warning from the attorney general that the government would be “coming after” protesters.
The protests, in cities including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston and New York, have come as Musk has seen his net worth plunge and the sales of Teslas plummet in Europe. In Brooklyn, New York, about 50 people gathered outside a Tesla showroom on Saturday afternoon to loudly make their displeasure clear, the fourth such protest in the last four weeks.
This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong.
Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks. https://t.co/Fh1rcfsJPh

A mass stabbing at a University of Waterloo gender studies class was not a terrorist attack but a “particularly grave” hate crime meant to make people feel unsafe in those spaces, an Ontario judge ruled Monday in sentencing the attacker to 11 years in prison.
More than a million migrants benefited from the universal credit welfare scheme in Britain at a cost to the taxpayer of £7.6 billion in 2023 alone, an analysis of official data has found.
The carbon tax will still be an issue in the coming election. It’s a topic both Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre were talking about Monday.
While Conservative Leader Poilievre was promising to scrap the industrial carbon tax, Prime Minister Carney was defending it as a necessity on his trip to Europe.
We’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop for a couple of years at this point since the bird flu narrative first ramped up post-COVID.
Mammal-to-mammal gain-of function — the newfound ability to transmit between mammals — has always seemed inevitable, given that the biomedical security state is literally funding gain-of-function research on viruses in clandestine labs all over the world, fully immune from oversight.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a lengthy call Tuesday to an immediate pause in strikes against energy and infrastructure targets in the Ukraine war, but the Russian leader stopped short of backing a broader 30-day pause in fighting that the U.S. administration is pressing for.
The White House described it as the first step in a “movement to peace” it hopes will eventually include a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and a full and lasting end to the fighting.
And we thought Justin Trudeau was a sanctimonious autocrat who found dealing with Parliament too tiresome.
The next time someone blithely assures you that “woke is over” now Donald Trump is back, politely direct his or her attention to the following story. In the US state of New Jersey, hospitals have been giving new parents a questionnaire to fill in.
And this questionnaire asks them to specify their newborn baby’s sexuality.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada can stand up for its own sovereignty in response to annexation talk from the U.S. administration as he wrapped up his first international trip.
Carney met with King Charles and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London on Monday evening after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris earlier in the day.
Speaking to reporters after his meeting with Starmer, Carney was asked if he was concerned that allies should be more forceful in defending Canada as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to insist the country become the 51st state.
Ireland’s taoiseach has denounced anti-immigration comments made by Conor McGregor as the MMA fighter visited the White House before a St Patrick’s Day meeting with Donald Trump.
McGregor said “Ireland is on the cusp of losing its Irishness” and that an “illegal immigration racket” was “running ravage on the country”.
Last week, Donald Trump singled out “Conor” – who last year was found liable for sexual assault after a civil trial – as one of his favourite Irish people.

The last surviving Battle of Britain pilot, John “Paddy” Hemingway, has died at the age of 105.
Mr Hemingway, who was originally from Dublin, joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a teenager before World War Two.
At 21, he was a fighter pilot in the Battle of Britain, a three-month period when air force personnel defended the skies against a large-scale assault by the German air force, the Luftwaffe.
The United States is treating Canada only a little better than it treats Cuba.
The point is not that Canada and Cuba are similar countries; they are patently not. Rather, it is to note that the U.S. government has chosen purposefully to treat Canada, a vibrant multiparty democracy and the world’s ninth-largest economy, in a similar way.
I thought we already were?

Elon Musk has claimed that plans to bring Wilmore and Williams back earlier were shelved by former President Joe Biden and that the mission had been marred by political mudslinging.
US astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams finally departed from the International Space Station early Tuesday to begin their long-awaited journey back home after spending more than nine months stuck in space.
