The federally-chartered regulator responsible for managing fisheries in the oceans of New England acknowledged that offshore wind farms could pose a threat to the local marine wildlife, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Pierre Poilievre’s venture into the Greater Toronto Area’s Chinese community in January was in some ways a standard bit of politicking.
He broke bread with community leaders, answered questions from Chinese-language news media and even said a few words in Chinese, an unremarkable outreach to an important block of ethnic voters.
More notable were some of the others at the meetings.
Don’t expect Poilievre to renounce these tainted relationships. We really are a Banana Republic.

ESPN has been condemned by a former champion college swimmer for including transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in their segment devoted to Women’s History Month, describing the company as ‘spineless’ and tweeting the hashtag ‘Boycott ESPN’.
Riley Gaines swam for the University of Kentucky, ending her college career in 2022 as ‘one of the most decorated swimmers in program history,’ according to the UK website. She became a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer and a five-time SEC champion.
The number of insolvent Canadians skyrocketed by 33 percent on a year-over-year basis in January 2023, according to a new report, which blames rising inflation and high interest rates for the jump.
The Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (CAIRP) released a report on March 1 indicating that 8,735 consumer insolvencies were filed in January.

Olivia Chow is confirming a Star report that she is pondering a run for mayor, saying Toronto can be “so much better.”
The former NDP MP and city councillor responded in a brief statement, on Sunday, to Star inquiries about her potential mayoral candidacy.
“I want to let you know I am considering running. I love this city and I know it can be so much better — for everyone,” wrote Chow, would become one of the highest profile candidates in the forming, crowded race to replace John Tory.
At least I have a headstart on campaign material from her last and thankfully unsuccessful run.
If Chowcescu gets in Toronto’s death spiral into fiscal and criminal depravity will only accelerate.
The good news as successive defeats have shown is that she no longer rides on Jack’s coattails.
The woman is a perma-class parasite, all career politicians are.
I wonder if she travels in the same circles Justin and his pals do.
Independent internet service providers say customers should not expect to see their bills go down despite a recent move by Canada’s telecom regulator to reduce network rates.
In early March, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission launched a review of the rates that independent ISPs must pay to the big telecom companies for access to the networks they own. The review is part of a wider effort to increase competition in the sector and slow the spate of incumbents’ acquisitions of independent ISPs over the last two years.
We are so ripped off.
Tuesday’s budget to include grocery rebate for lower income Canadians: source
The federal budget, set for Tuesday, will include a grocery rebate measure aimed at lower income Canadians to help address the affordability crisis, particularly to mitigate the rising cost of food, CBC News has learned.
A senior government official familiar with the budget, but not authorized to speak publicly before the budget is rolled out, told CBC News that the overall cost of the measure is “north of $2 billion” and will benefit 11 million households. It will be facilitated through the GST credit, aimed at lower income families.
When your citizens can no longer afford basic groceries because they’ve been impoverished by your bad policies you’ve forfeited the right to govern.
In the mid-1970s I was a struggling business and economics student. I paid for my tuition and personal expenses with physically demanding summer and part-time jobs and some student debt.
I dreamed of one day working on Canada’s version of Wall Street, which was located in Toronto at the corner of King and Bay streets. That dream came true in the spring of 1980 when the Dominion Bond Rating Service hired me as a junior analyst. Four of the five big Canadian banks occupied the corners of King and Bay in their impressive skyscrapers. A block away were the golden towers of Canada’s largest financial institution, the Royal Bank of Canada. A book published in 1982 was named “Towers of Gold, Feet of Clay,” a reference to the fact the two RBC towers literally have a thin layer of gold coating their windows.
This does not bode well for Toronto.
I recall visiting Seattle with Kathy.
At the ‘Stroke of 5 PM’ the downtown was emptied and virtually abandoned.
Soon the street people made an appearance.
We headed back to our hotel.
A paedophile Metropolitan Police Safer Schools officer has been jailed for five years over a string of child sex offences including having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
PC Hussain Chehab, 22, was sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court on Friday for four counts of sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15 and offences linked to indecent images of children.
The sexual activity offences took place between March and September 2019, before Chehab joined the Metropolitan Police the following year.
I’m guessin equity hire.
Between when the Trudeau government signed the agreement to amend the Safe Third Country agreement, and when it came into force, more than 41,000 people crossed illegally into Canada at Roxham Rd.
After we add in the numbers for March, expect the final tally to be over 45,000 or the equivalent of adding the population of Chatham, Ont., via what the government calls “irregular migration.”
Unlike many “bombshells” during the Trump administration, the latest potential bombshell story out of Washington, which may involve President Biden, was based not on “sources close to the White House” or “an unnamed administration official” but, rather, on receipts.
Bank record receipts, to be precise.
‘We’ve got one decade to save humanity!’ the media warned again this past week, just like all the other times.
We have been told nearly every year for the past 50-plus years that we have only ten years to live. If you figure that one out, you’re good, as Groucho Marx would say.
The news that World Athletics has excluded transgender women from competing in the female category at international events is certainly a step in the right direction.
I have long been vocal on this matter, as I have educated myself on what the realities are for trans women competing against biological females.
The Women’s Sport Policy Working Group, of which I am a member, has looked at how best to include trans women and girls in sport without creating a disadvantage to females by forcing them to compete against trans athletes who have advantages associated with being born male.
Two black teenagers brutally attacked an Asian mother of three, causing severe physical damage. Once the news finally picked up on her story, generous Americans donated more than $300,000 to a fund for her medical care. However, most victims of black crime are blacks, and few benefit from a GoFundMe. Worse, none benefit from the tens of millions of dollars that Black Lives Matter collected. That needs to change.
