WARMINGTON: Chow’s lack of public response to K9 death upsets Toronto Police Association
There are many priorities Mayor Olivia Chow has already shown she will publicly support and personally attend.
That the death of a Toronto Police K9 dog is not one of them has created a huge divide with the Toronto Police Association (TPA) that she will have some heavy work in repairing.
Bar in Buffalo, NY, banishes Bud Light for good in viral video following Dylan Mulvaney fiasco
Bud Light has become so unpopular at a Buffalo, NY, bar that it was completely removed as the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco continues to haunt the Anheuser-Busch brand.
Daniel M. Keem, a YouTube personality and podcaster, posted video on social media showing his local bar doing away with the brand that has long held the title of the nation’s most popular beer.
Polling shows Canadians don’t believe Liberals can fix economy, housing or cost of living
OTTAWA — The federal Liberals want their recent cabinet changes to improve their economic message, but new data show Canadians believe the Liberal government is the party the least equipped do deal with economic concerns.
An Abacus Data poll released just hours before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his overhauled front bench on Wednesday, showed the Liberals 10 points behind the opposition Conservatives. If those numbers held until the next election, they would virtually assure Conservatives of winning the most seats and possibly a majority government, but a deeper look shows the Liberals to be especially weak on pocketbook issues.
Judge orders release of three of ‘Newburgh four’ and accuses FBI of ‘trolling for terrorists’
Three men convicted in a post-9/11 terrorism sting were ordered freed from prison by a judge who deemed their lengthy sentences “unduly harsh and unjust” and decried the role of the FBI in radicalizing them in a plot to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down national guard planes.
Onta Williams, David Williams and Laguerre Payen – three of the men known as the “Newburgh four” – were “hapless, easily manipulated and penurious petty criminals” caught up more than a decade ago in a scheme driven by overzealous FBI agents and a dodgy informant, US district judge Colleen McMahon said on Thursday.
It’s time for Canada to take its foot off the immigration gas pedal
The guy who cut my hair last week taught me something about the Temporary Foreign Worker program: It’s even looser than I thought.
Fixing that, and a number of other things that aren’t quite right about the immigration system, comes down to the Trudeau government. So, don’t hold your breath.
After Sean Fraser was shuffled from Immigration Minister to Housing Minister on Wednesday, he said Canada can’t “close the door on newcomers.” As if that’s what the government’s critics are calling for. Is it possible for Canadians to discuss a serious economic issue, seriously? Or is polarizing name-calling all that our politics has left?

Five UFO claims at the heart of ‘the biggest cover-up in history’
After US Congress held its first ever hearing on unidentified flying objects, we explore the allegations that are simply out of this world
Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were once the preserve of conspiracy theorists: tinfoil hat-wearers who have, in recent decades, found their natural home in the dark corners of the internet. Despite our natural curiosity, scepticism has been our default response on this issue.
The doubts have persisted despite such esteemed figures as Lord Hill-Norton, once a Chief of the General Staff, and Vice-Admiral Roscoe H Hillenkoetter, the first director of the CIA, supporting theories of their existence.

TDSB launches investigation in wake of former principal’s suicide
The Toronto District School Board said Thursday it is launching an investigation in the wake of the recent suicide of a former principal who said he was harassed and bullied during anti-racism training sessions held two years ago.
Richard Bilkszto, a 60-year-old retired principal, sued the TDSB earlier this year, alleging that his reputation was “systemically demolished” during two anti-Black racism training sessions in the spring of 2021 when, after he had challenged some of the speaker’s comments, he was allegedly singled out and accused of supporting white supremacy.
Worms resurrected after 46,000 years
When the worm went to sleep in the Siberian soil, the pyramids had not been built, nor the hanging gardens of Babylon sown, and our ancestors shared the planet with Neanderthals.
When the worm awoke, 46,000 years later, it found itself in a world where it would be transported in aircraft and have its genetic code stored on a computer, and where not only had the Neanderthals gone extinct, but so too, it appeared, had the worm’s own species.
Charged under lockdown laws, former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier argues they violate freedoms
Randy Hillier, a former Ontario MPP and one of the loudest voices in the protest movement against pandemic lockdowns, argued a Charter challenge Thursday, claiming the province’s stay-at-home order and limits on outdoor gatherings unjustifiably violated his right to peaceful protest.
‘Era of global boiling has arrived,’ says chief UN Grifter as July set to be hottest month on record
The era of global warming has ended and “the era of global boiling has arrived”, the UN secretary general, António Guterres, has said after scientists confirmed July was on track to be the world’s hottest month on record.
“Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning,” Guterres said. “It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C [above pre-industrial levels], and avoid the very worst of climate change. But only with dramatic, immediate climate action.”

Justin Trudeau’s pal to face sexual assault trial in fall of 2024
Jacob Hoggard’s northern Ont. sexual assault trial to be held fall 2024
Trial dates are set for disgraced Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard — who is facing another sexual assault charge in northern Ontario — but they are more than a year away.
Hoggard, the frontman for the band Hedley, was convicted last June of raping an Ottawa woman in 2016 and is currently out on bail while appealing his five-year prison sentence in that case.
He was found not guilty at that same trial of groping and raping a teenage fan.
‘NATURE, YOU’RE RACIST:’ Black people need ‘safe spaces’ to enjoy great outdoors
A black journalist took a basic wilderness survival class and discovered that “safe spaces” were being created so that black people can avoid “trauma” from white people.
China’s Many Spies in Canada
For China watchers, the arrest of a retired RCMP officer for allegedly helping China with its interference efforts in Canada is not surprising, given Beijing’s extensive network of spies and agents in Canada and its ambitions for global domination.
Scott McGregor, a former Canadian Armed Forces intelligence operator and intelligence adviser to the RCMP, says Canada is particularly infested with a proportionally higher number of CCP agents compared to other countries.
Trump Faces Major New Charges in Documents Case
Federal prosecutors on Thursday added major accusations to an indictment charging former President Donald J. Trump with mishandling classified documents after he left office, saying he told a maintenance worker at Mar-a-Lago that he wanted security camera footage there to be deleted.
The new accusations were revealed in a superseding indictment that named the maintenance worker, Carlos De Oliveira, as a new defendant in the case.
The revised indictment also added three serious charges against Mr. Trump — attempting to “alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal evidence”; inducing someone else to do so; and a new count, the 32nd, under the Espionage Act stemming from a classified national security document he showed to visitors at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.
