We are big Taylor Swift fans, so when she announced that The Eras Tour is coming to Toronto for six shows at the Rogers Center, we started dancing like we’re 22.
We are also big fans of analyzing everything at Toronto City Council. So we did the math, and the economic impact from Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in Toronto will be significantly larger than what’s anticipated from the hosting five FIFA World Cup matches in 2026.
Georgia prosecutors investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state are in possession of text messages and other communications that directly tie members of the former president’s legal team –including Rudy Giuliani — to a Jan. 7, 2021 voting systems breach, according to a Sunday report.
The messages could play a central part in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ grand jury presentation this week in connection with her election fraud case against the 77-year-old current GOP presidential frontrunner, who has already faced three criminal indictment this years.
Quebec is hitting the brakes on its euthanasia program, warning of rising numbers of ‘non-compliant cases,’ and telling doctors to be more prudent about who gets a lethal injection.
DailyMail.com has seen an official memo to warn Quebec doctors about fatal jabs that shouldn’t have been allowed, and urging them to give patients more time to reconsider a monumental decision.
Quebec saw its number of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) cases rise to nearly 5,000 last year — making it a global euthanasia hotspot, where 7-8 percent of all deaths are due to lethal jabs.
Tomas Mirabelli knows the symptoms of crystal meth when he sees them: a person on transit or along a city sidewalk behaving erratically, talking in circles or lashing out at a passerby.
These days, Mirabelli, a drop-in coordinator with St. Stephen’s Community House in Kensington Market, is seeing the signs more than ever.
The synthetic stimulant is booming citywide; police have seized increasing amounts off the streets, and amphetamine-related cases at Toronto’s largest mental health hospital have soared, driven predominantly by meth use.
I just do not see anything getting “better” in Toronto.
Yesterday marked the 60th known whale death on the East Coast since Dec 1, 2022. This is not normal.
The government says it’s not because of the wind industry’s high decibel pile driving & boat traffic in previously pristine waters. They’re lying. And now we have the proof. pic.twitter.com/7BcVrgz04X

The recent cabinet shuffle should have been an opportunity for the Liberals to reset their priorities and take action on issues affecting the lives of Canadians — notably crime. Unfortunately, in the same breath as our new justice minister, Arif Virani, pledged to address the growing sense of insecurity among Canadians, he downplayed the problem, saying it’s “unlikely” that crime is becoming a bigger problem than it used to be.
It all makes sense to him now…. He was a lesbian woman with “lesbian yearning,” not a straight man. He “had a queerness inside of him”. pic.twitter.com/rALLg9vZEk

Why would what failed to work in Colombia and Afghanistan succeed in Mexico?
Responding to a voter during a campaign stop this week, Florida governor and 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis endorsed a once fringe idea that is becoming increasingly mainstream in
Republican policy circles: that the United States has the right, indeed obligation, to use military force in Mexico to protect the American people from drug cartels.
And yes, that includes the use of US drones, a revolutionary military technology the US military and CIA have deployed repeatedly to target terrorists in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Somalia (among others).
Middle-class Americans just want their country back.
Donald Trump had hardly made it down the escalator in 2015 by the time political commentators had begun to search for ways to explain away his appeal to the public. Eight years later, the search continues — and the stubborn persistence of What’s The Matter With Kansas? reduxes suggests that most of it has been in vain. For most of the people who prognosticate about politics for a living, Trump is every bit as much of an enigma today as he was when he first announced his candidacy.
One also glimpses the beginning of a violent reaction by French society, and perhaps Europe, against the drift of its suburbs.
The fear of the peoples of Europe in the face of mass immigration is constantly described as “xenophobia”. This is the fear that the camarillas in charge can denounce as “racism”, raising the specter of a democratic apocalypse, while the accepted “narrative” evokes an inclusive majority and an excluded minority which, thanks to hyper-tolerance policies, will benefit from it.
But only the blind can deny the ongoing disintegration which validates the sociological thesis of the disappearance of the majority and the birth of a cottage cheese society.
It is one of the worst massacres of protesters in modern history — and also one of the best documented. So why is nobody using the plentiful evidence available to bring Egyptian security forces to justice?
There’s plenty of evidence of what happened that day at Rabaa in Cairo: Eyewitness accounts, pictures, videos, even a documentary, “Memories of a Massacre,” that was released this month.
But despite all the evidence, those who were there say there has been no real justice to atone for the massacre that happened in Cairo’s Rabaa al-Adawiya square a decade ago.
On August 14, 2013, Egyptian security services took up positions around the square where an estimated 85,000 people were protesting the political situation in the country.
The United States, rather than maintaining its status as a republic, has been backsliding toward a monarchy, according to a 2020 report by then-Cato Institute Constitutional researcher Trevor Burrus. The continuing trend of broad expansions of presidential powers, Burrus notes, is eroding the powers of the legislative branch. Two examples are the Obama Administration’s 2016 “Dear Colleague” letter that had the effect of changing the definition of gender for choosing what bathroom one wished, and President Donald Trump’s 2018 imposition of steel tariffs in the name of national security, a decision that was upheld in court.
A former Lebanese cabinet member suggested in a recent televised interview that Israel was behind incidents of Quran burning in Europe.
Dr. Adnan Al-Sayyed Hussain, who currently serves as the President of Lebanese University, made the comments during a July 21, 2023 show on which aired on Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV. The interview was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
A recent survey conducted by Research Co. has revealed that English-speaking Canadians are divided over further “O Canada” revisions.
According to the survey published on Friday, 41 per cent of Anglophone Canadians are in favor of altering the opening line of “O Canada” from “Our home and native land” to “Our home on native land”. However, 44 per cent disagree with the proposed modification.
