Christopher Jung, a 73-year-old Toronto taxi driver originally from Poland, was “the happiest he’d been in a long time” in October 2021 — the COVID lockdowns had eased, and could finally return to work. He wouldn’t live to see November. On an evening shift Oct. 24, a teen he had driven to Scarborough would reach under the plexiglass divider with his handgun and fire a fatal seven shots into his body.
What we witnessed this week from Doug Ford and Wab Kinew wasn’t leadership. It was political theatre that cost Canadians jobs, credibility, and common sense.
Ontario’s premier decided it was a good idea to spend over $75 million of taxpayer money on a television commercial featuring a manipulated video of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The goal, apparently, was to take a stand against American tariffs and score political points with Canadian voters by pretending to channel Reagan’s words.

Those of us sitting in the pews as our bishops deliver thinly-veiled social justice diatribes must work to empower pro-Christian leaders.
Mass immigration and rising godless progressivism have resulted in a surge of hostility and violence against Christians in Europe, but the same could happen in America if American Christians aren’t careful. José Luis Bazán, a consultant to Europe’s Catholic bishops, recently issued a report on the phenomenon, documenting roughly 1,600 attacks against Catholic Churches in France and Greece, as well as similar attacks in Spain and Italy. “These attacks reflect a climate of ideological hostility toward religion,” Bazán told Catholic News Agency. “Attacks or acts of vandalism against places of worship are pandemic,” he emphasized. “We have fragmentary elements here and there, but if you put them all together, you realize the upward trend.”
Donald Trump, in his second term, threatens Canada’s economy, its security, its very future. But the American President is also a catalyst.
For too many years, Canadian political leaders have turned away from long-standing difficulties. The Trump Challenge forces us to reckon with the country’s future.
We have always been an improbable country, occupying the cold half of the North American continent, much of the population strung out across a 9,000-km border with the United States. There is a certain logic to Mr. Trump’s suggestion that we simply become part of the U.S., especially because so much of our history has been marked by linguistic, cultural and regional division. And new demographic, population, generational and cultural shifts have left us more divided than ever.

After listening to Mark Carney speaking to young people on Wednesday night, I could only imagine their sense of hopelessness upon hearing him. Instead of outlining concrete ways to allow the economy to be rebuilt and to show how young people can participate, he counseled them to make more sacrifices. He treated them like children, explaining how they just have to be patient and wait for their turn while he fixes things. But all they want is a chance to have a productive and satisfying job – now! Not some faraway day in the future. Which, if the budget predictions are correct, they will still be paying for.

Says one New Yorker: “This is a nightmare, a catastrophe. How did we let this happen?”
This was after the debate, for mayor, against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, and though nobody asked, the probable winner, Zorhan Mamdani, forcefully, and emphatically, and angrily, announced himself a proud Muslim who intends to serve New York City as a proud Muslim. Other proud Muslims stood there with him, unsmiling.
For far too long, said Mamdani, Muslims have been living in the shadows. This will change when he becomes mayor.
Inviting Muslims to settle was the most stupid and evil act of our elites ever.
At last weekend’s “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s.
Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said the “No Kings” protests were a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur.
“What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets,” he told Fox News Digital.
It doesn’t rain but it pours.
Suddenly the kitchen sink (a dual sink) ceased draining and began to fill with water as I was rinsing dishes.
Per habit I fed the sinks Drano but that did not fix the problem.
I then checked the pipes under the sink and discovered a leak where a previously solid weld is located.
Plumber will stop by tomorrow in the afternoon.
…Sigh.
Prime Minister Mark Carney needs friends.
Not the diplomatic and commercial kind he’s already pursuing with new trade partnerships around the world.
He needs friends in the House of Commons.
On the eve of the Jewish New Year, when families across the world were preparing to celebrate renewal and resilience, French President Emmanuel Macron chose a different symbol.
He formally recognized, at the United Nations on September 23, a so-called Palestinian state — an act that emboldened Hamas, even as the 20 Israeli hostages still believed to be alive remained starved, tortured, and trapped in its tunnels in Gaza. Macron did not even have the decency to make his recognition of a non-existent Palestinian state contingent on Hamas releasing the hostages.
MONTREAL — Hundreds of Montrealers could be seen marching in the street Saturday, hopeful they’ll one day live to see Quebec become its own nation.
The march through the city’s downtown comes ahead of the 30th anniversary of the 1995 referendum on Oct. 30.
Camille Goyette-Gingras, president of OUI Québec, one of the groups behind the rally, said day by day she’s seeing more youth getting involved in the movement.
“Gen Z, they’re looking for systemic change, and for them, independence is exactly that,” she said.
Armies of humanoid robots are poised to march into the world’s factories. But before they’re ready to turn a wrench, they must solve what Elon Musk calls “the hands problem.”
Creating the mechanical equivalent of the human hand is a challenge that has been stumping corporate and academic researchers for years. Replacing muscle and skin with motors and sensors is a critical step in making humanoids a versatile source of labor, potentially unlocking a global market that Morgan Stanley estimates could reach $5 trillion by 2050.
“We’re setting 10 years as our goal to have dexterity, be functional and useful and able to do some of the things that humans do,” said Kevin Lynch of Northwestern University’s Center for Robotics and Biosystems, part of a federally funded consortium that is developing robotic hands for a variety of workplaces. “It’s not next year, that’s for sure.”
A new rule may be emerging in Canada-U.S. relations — it’s a risky business, mixing politics and baseball.
Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted this week that he had no luck so far tempting Donald Trump into placing a wager on the World Series. Grinning ear to ear as he stopped by the Blue Jays practice on Thursday, Carney said: “I think he’s afraid to make a bet. He doesn’t like to lose. He hasn’t returned my call yet on the bet.”
Over? But its worked so well so far!
