“My job is not to be popular.” Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister (pictured), spent much of March explaining himself as he fought a revolt against an increase to the country’s carbon tax. On his own terms, and few others, Mr Trudeau is succeeding. Both his Liberal Party and the tax—which increased from C$65 to C$80 ($59) per tonne of CO2 equivalent on April 1st—are unloved. Mr Trudeau survived a no-confidence vote ahead of the increase, but the debate it sparked has added to the burdens of a prime minister who is staggering through his ninth year in power.

It was a “bonkers gig”, pairing heavy metal with a pipe organ – a musical curiosity that the bands thought would surely seldom be repeated, if ever.
But Pantheïst and Arð, the doom metals bands who performed the concert at Huddersfield town hall last year, have been inundated with requests to repeat the performance – with churches leading the way.
“We thought that churches would look at it as slightly heretical, – having a metal band playing in church – but that wasn’t the case at all,” said Mark Mynett, a senior lecturer in music production at Huddersfield University. “They really embraced this bold new world – some of them talked about bringing a new audience into church.”
The consulting giant touts its studies purporting to show that race- and gender-conscious hiring leads to greater profits—but it likely has the causation backward.
Last year, McKinsey & Company released a study purporting to demonstrate that corporations with more diverse leadership—more women and racial minorities in executive positions—were also more profitable. The consulting behemoth’s findings were consistent with those of its previous three diversity studies, in 2015, 2018, and 2020, each of which had been cited across industries and government institutions as proof of the supposed financial benefits of race- and gender-conscious hiring policies. Now, a new paper raises questions about McKinsey’s methodology and suggests that its advertised findings may have gotten the causation backward: financial success may lead corporations to embrace diversity efforts, rather than the other way around.
MPs want to know how a mobile app’s costs grew out of control. An abandoned house on an Ontario First Nation is an important stop in the search for answers
The house at 55 Vimy Ridge Rd., a 90-minute drive northeast of Toronto in the Alderville First Nation, has seen better days. The wooden front steps are broken, a basketball-sized wasp nest hangs from its roof, and debris – gas cans, a fridge, furniture and rusting metal – litters the backyard.
Passersby would never guess that the property is connected to a business that has received more than $100-million in federal spending. In corporate records, the home is the registered address for David Yeo, a former soldier who is now an entrepreneur and the founder of Dalian Enterprises Inc., one of the companies at the centre of a growing controversy over government contracting related to the ArriveCan mobile app.
The Biden administration persists in granting victories to Hamas and its primary supporters, Qatar and Iran, and in a way that only strengthens their positions in support of terrorism.
On March 25, the Biden administration declined to exercise its veto power at the United Nations Security Council, effectively betraying Israel and aligning itself with Hamas. This decision was perceived by Israel’s enemies in Iran, Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Iraq as the United States finally having abandoned Israel. The American abstention looked as if the US had adopted Hamas’s position at long last — and during the height of the conflict!
While the foreign interference inquiry headed by Commissioner Marie-Josee Hogue appears to be doing credible work in investigating foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, it isn’t addressing the elephant in the room.
Correspondent Sarah McCammon joined her NPR colleague Michel Martin on Thursday’s Amanpour and Company on PBS to discuss her book, The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church because public broadcasting networks stick together. Naturally, Evangelicals’ relationship with Donald Trump and the “politicization of religion” was a big part of the conversation, but McCammon made it clear that her definition of politicization was that Christians do not bend their beliefs to appease the LGBTQ crowd.

Toronto Police has spent $12 million on policing over 500 demonstrations in the city since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, according to Deputy Chief Lauren Pogue.
12 million seems light.
It’s been less than six weeks since nursing student Laken Riley went for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia and never returned. Illegal immigrant José Antonio Ibarra is the suspect in Riley’s brutal murder, which brought the Biden administration’s border crisis into sharper focus nationwide.
“We can’t rely on police to attend car thefts or home invasions in a timely manner,” Rommy Metyas, one of the driving forces behind the neighbourhood initiative, said in a statement.
“While stolen cars are one thing, the attempts to invade homes while families are sleeping have put us in a perpetual state of fear.”
The fact is we live in a very different Toronto than what we grew up in. I’ve been a resident since 64. It is verging on shithole status.
Bad immigration policy, the Ferguson effect it all takes a toll here in People City.
It makes no sense to rely on the police any longer.

Happening right now. In front of my own eyes. I am listening to these people chant for the death of Jews and Israel.
A little 8-year-old boy beside me is screaming this too.
This is Al-Quds day. This is what they do on their “blessed day.”

I know that square very well having attended many an Al Quds day over the years.
Back in the olden days they would get hotted up at Queen’s Park and then march down to the US Consulate which is directly across the street.
While I am sure more will show it seems sparse right now.
They used to bus women and children in from the various Shia mosques in the GTA and beyond back in the day.
Make no mistake this was always a Shia event but before the rise of ISIS the marches were well attended by Sunni’s.
Hope they do something stupid.
NYC subway station still ‘crack den’ a year after Post report — with needles galore, half-naked addicts roaming poop-covered platforms
Nearly a year after The Post reported junkies turned the 181st Street No. 1 train station into a shooting gallery, the transit hub’s conditions have spiraled further, with half-naked addicts roaming the human feces-covered platforms.
The Post observed this week a familiar scene of hundreds of needles and orange caps tossed by addicts onto the tracks at the Washington Heights station, while a man without pants covered in track marks stumbled along the uptown platform littered with sharps.
At opposite ends of the platform sat mounds of human feces.
Canada’s lagging economic and productivity performance is no secret. Various articles in The Hub have highlighted it, most recently one by Sean Speer and Taylor Jackson. “At the heart of Canada’s economic malaise,” they correctly noted, “is low productivity growth.”
