Justin Trudeau is tanking Canada’s economy

You can only imagine — and recoil in horror at — the potential damage the Canadian prime minister’s economic illiteracy will unleash

In September the leaders of the world’s most powerful nations met in New Delhi for the annual G20 Summit to address such heady matters as the war between Russia and Ukraine, the future of energy production and the criticality of food security. Everyone smiled for the cameras, shook hands politely and agreed to do their best to do something about everything, just so long as they weren’t asked to make any enforceable commitments. At the end of the weekend, all the great men and women of the world put their shoes back on, took one more group photo and bid adieu to their friends (and enemies). Then they all headed for home.

All, that is, except one.

Yanks Strike Targets Linked to Iran in Eastern Syria, as Israeli Command Says Raids Into Gaza Aim To ‘Uncover the Enemy’

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli forces backed by fighter jets and drones carried out a second ground raid into Gaza in as many days and struck enemy targets on the outskirts of Gaza City, the military said Friday, as it prepares for a widely expected ground invasion of the territory ruled, through Hamas, by Iran.

American warplanes, meanwhile, struck targets in eastern Syria that the Pentagon said were linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. That followed a string of attacks on American forces. Two mysterious objects hit towns in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, adding to the already high tensions fueled by the three-week-old Gaza war.

Average home price 141% higher than median-earning family can afford in Trudeau’s Canada

The average home price in Canada is 141 per cent higher than what a Canadian household making the median income can afford, according to new data from RATESDOTCA.

The report published Thursday looked at data on home prices and median earnings for Canadian households.

It found that a Canadian family earning the median household income of $79,876 can reasonably afford a $315,000 home, with a maximum insured mortgage of $299,500.

However, the average home price in Canada is currently $757,600, the report noted – considerably pricier than what the average household can afford.

Woman convicted of helping in female genital mutilation of girl, 3

Child was taken from London to Africa for procedure and confided in secondary school teacher years later

A woman has been convicted of assisting in the mutilation of the genitals of a three-year-old British girl after claiming she would be “cursed” if she objected.

Amina Noor, 39, from London, took the girl for the procedure in Africa. She told the Old Bailey she would have been “disowned” by community members if she did not take part.

The victim kept the mutilation secret for 13 years until confiding in her English teacher at a London secondary school. An examination by doctors at University College London found that the girl’s clitoris had been completely removed.

Are the Liberals trapped with Justin Trudeau, even if he falls?

Put yourself in the shoes of a Liberal MP hearing grumbles that Justin Trudeau should go. There have been assertions he was spoiling for an election fight with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, assurances that there was still time till the next election, and, as polls suggest a national case of Trudeau fatigue, repeated questions about whether he can hang on.

Now, there must be a new fear dawning for Liberals: They might be trapped with Mr. Trudeau.

Border alert goes up in Canada for fugitive Maine killer Robert Card – as it’s revealed he left behind a cell phone to throw cops ‘off his scent’ after killing 18

The Canada Border Services Agency has issued an ‘armed and dangerous’ alert to its officers along the Canada-U.S. border as the search for suspected Maine mass murderer Robert Card entered its second day on Friday.

FBI agents staged a dramatic raid on a family property on Thursday night but Card, 40, remains on the run – as experts warned that the 40-year-old deer hunter and Army reservist was well equipped to survive in the wild, and could even be planning a new attack.

O’Toole says Canada’s been a ‘frog in … boiling water’ on Chinese interference

OTTAWA — Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole told MPs Thursday that Canada has been ignoring threats from China for far too long and the country must wake up to the new realities of Beijing’s interference in our democracy.

“As a country, we must realize that Canada has been like the frog in a pot of boiling water; multiple governments of both stripes have ignored our intelligence agencies, who have been warning about the heat in the water from China,” he told MPs at a House of Commons committee.

Baker ordered to pay £20,000 to worker who urinated in mixing bowls

A Barcelona bakery was ordered to pay more than £20,000 to a worker who was fired after being caught urinating in mixing bowls.

Catalonia’s High Court ruled that Neucroissant had acted unlawfully when it dismissed the woman after citing evidence gathered by a surveillance camera in a changing area used by staff.

Footage captured by the CCTV had shown the woman, who has not been named, crouching down and urinating on several occasions into various containers used to produce the bakery’s goods.

She worked full time and after monthly bills, there was $9 left for food

It was a selfie video recorded and posted in a moment of extreme frustration.

Stephanie Finlayson of Woodstock, Ont., had been going over her monthly budget, trying to find a way to cover costs from food and insurance to fixing or replacing her 2005 Honda Accord.

The car, which she’s still driving, has a leaky radiator and 377,000 kilometres on the odometer. It needs more work, but her mechanic doesn’t recommend she put more money into it. He was also worried its creaky frame might not survive another trip up the hoist at his shop.

For the Gazan People, the Sooner the Ground Invasion Comes, the Better

Whatever follows Hamas’s bloody and terrible period of misrule can only be a relative improvement.

Western media has devoted prohibitive attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip precipitated by the Hamas regime’s support for a complex military-style operation explicitly designed to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible. That sequence of events might convey to the casual observer that the conditions the Gazan people are presently enduring are a function of their government’s recklessness, inhumanity, and general commitment to maladministration. Maybe that’s why so many Western media outlets seem committed to advancing the notion that Gaza’s plight is a function of Israel’s response to the unprecedented butchery of over 1,400 of its citizens.

A Generation of Sensitive Radicals

Freedom of expression has become a victim to the West’s ongoing cultural crisis. Whilst the Free Speech Movement of the ’60s apparently threw off the shackles on free speech, representing a pivotal turning point in the history of civil liberties, today we are faced with a new set of challenges. Academic institutions are meant to foster intellectualism and critical thinking; however, ideological fervour is increasingly eclipsing such capacity. The assimilation of Marxist dogmas into our institutions poses a challenge on university campuses across the West, and society more widely.
