The Ford government says it plans to suspend some driver’s licenses for people found guilty of auto theft offences in legislation set to be tabled later in the week.
Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria, along with Solicitor General Michael Kerzner, teased the proposed new law Tuesday, which could lead to repeat vehicle thieves having their licenses suspended for life in certain cases.
If this goes through we’ll see car theft prosecutions declared racist.
A new campaign aimed at having men reflect upon their driving behavior is now online in France. The Victimes et Citoyens association has issued a plea for men to “Drive like a woman!”

Families Minister Jenna Sudds said Monday some Ontario daycare centres have pulled out of the federal government’s national early learning and child care program because the province hasn’t stepped up with enough cash.
Asked about some daycares either rejecting or bailing out of the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program, Sudds said it’s a “consequence, unfortunately, of a delay with respect to the province of Ontario coming forward with a sustainable and long-term funding formula for providers.”
It was scammy from the get go.

Democratic representative and “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), called for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what she alleges are violations of the Genocide Convention.
In a statement last week, Tlaib condemned the Israeli government for its current military operation in Rafah, in the southern Gaza strip, and insinuated that the US was complicit due to the funding it provides Israel.
As the number of Canada’s refugee claimants hits new highs, a Conservative MP has revealed that Ottawa budgets about $224 per day to feed and house some foreigners who claim asylum after illegally entering the country.
Last week, Conservative MP Lianne Rood uploaded documents to social media showing the government’s answer to her question about what “goods and services” are provided to foreigners who have claimed asylum in Canada — but have not yet had their applications reviewed by immigration authorities.
That fucking prick Trudeau.

Organisers had earnest ambitions of fostering cross-Atlantic ties when they launched an art installation connecting Dublin with New York.
The Portal, which is a large circular screen that allows residents of both cities to communicate via a 24/7 live video feed, was meant to remove “borders and differences” and to “experience our world as it really is — united and one.”
About a year ago, Gillian Kolla, a prominent harm-reduction activist, and a few of her colleagues realized a small band of journalists were suddenly trampling on their turf. They felt particularly threatened by a journalist affiliated with this newspaper, Adam Zivo, and some pesky questions he was starting to ask about the way in which government-supplied opioids were being prescribed to drug users with very few controls in place.
Canadians’ confidence in their personal finances has hit a record low, newly released research suggests.
Confidence levels are now lower than they were during the 2008 financial crisis, according to a report from Nanos Research.

Former president Donald Trump directed his then-attorney Michael Cohen to keep a story of his alleged affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels out of the headlines until after the 2016 election, at which point he would no longer care about it, Cohen testified on Monday during his one-time boss’s “hush-money” criminal trial.
It’s official: therapy culture has come for the Karen. USA Today reports a new, expensive wellness trend — “rage rituals” — in which women pay thousands of dollars to retreat to a safe and remote location, call to mind everything that’s ever annoyed them, and then scream, flail and rage while hitting the ground with sticks.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s paralegal testified on Friday that his office deleted from their evidence three pages of phone records between convicted liar Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Keith Davidson without notifying former President Donald Trump’s legal team, according to reports.
