The judiciary, so-called civil society rackets, and the faculty lounge must be sputtering with rage.
Cops in Surrey, B.C. did something utterly counter-intuitive in Canada: They released a slew of mugshots of suspected criminals in the Vancouver suburb’s chaotic extortion rackets.
This is criminal abuse by the Liberal Party.
Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, has given birth to a baby girl just days after delaying her maternity leave following the recent assassination attempt on the US president’s life.
Ms Leavitt was due to start her maternity leave on April 24. But it was postponed after the shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner on April 25. Ms Leavitt and other senior members of the administration were in attendance alongside Mr Trump.
Distressed home sellers are popping up more and more in Toronto’s real estate market as prices continue to tumble, leaving hundreds of homeowners with no equity in their homes.
April reached a two-year high for the number of power of sale listings in Ontario with more than 300, according to publicly available information on IDX and VOW — property listing databases that realtors can access.
Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide note was finally revealed — and the convicted pedophile appears to claim investigators “found nothing” on him.
“They investigated for month — found nothing!!!” read the barely legible note, released by a New York court order Wednesday in response to a New York Times petition.
The Canadian military has quietly started deploying counter-drone systems around its major ports and air bases as it grapples with both the technology and the legalities of shooting down uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), CBC News has learned.
The idea is to prevent the kind of grey-zone warfare incidents that have recently paralyzed parts of northern Europe, and to avert the kinds of surprise attacks which have characterized the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Amazon has become the first retailer in the UK to start a drone delivery service with a limited launch in Darlington, County Durham.
Packages weighing less than 5lb (2.2kg) and containing everyday items such as beauty products, batteries and cables are now being delivered within a 7.5 mile (12km) radius of Amazon’s fulfilment centre.
The tech giant is convinced there is demand for ultra-fast deliveries and hopes to slowly expand the service.
Wednesday’s report from the financial news site Nikkei Asia that Honda has suspended its plan to build a $15-billion electric vehicle plant in Ontario indefinitely comes as no surprise — particularly not to the federal government, which was told in January, sources say.
The big picture is that Canada’s ambitious gamble to be the locus for North American electric vehicle production has flopped and the battle now is to conserve the assembly plants that are already here.
The Trump administration has accused Europe of being an “incubator” for terrorism fuelled by mass migration, in a new counter-terrorism strategy unveiled on Wednesday.
The strategy also focuses on rooting out “violent left-wing extremists” including “radically pro-transgender” groups, as Trump’s conservative administration steps up its political attacks on opponents.
It also further places drug cartels in the Americas at the centre of counter-terrorism efforts.
I’ll bet you heard or read that the Carney government’s spring economic update last month showed the federal deficit had fallen more than $11 billion from the $78.3 billion forecast in last November’s federal budget.
That sounds like good news. Not great news. Even at $66.9 billion the deficit in the coming year will be the largest in Canadian history, larger than the largest Trudeau deficit.
Wife of Ukraine’s top audit official caught throwing $150K in cash at luxury fashion show

She gained widespread attention (and criticism) after a video from her LIOR fashion show/burlesque event at Emily Resort (around May 3, 2026) went viral. In it, she was filmed dancing and throwing stacks of cash (reportedly ~$150,000) while celebrating the new collection. The event featured elaborate staging, performers, and a large audience.
Her husband is Dmytro Khandusenko (or similar spelling), deputy head of the State Audit Service (Southern/Odesa office) in Ukraine. His official salary is low (~$900/month), which has fueled public outrage and questions about the source of the couple’s wealth amid the ongoing war, international aid to Ukraine, and anti-corruption concerns. The family has been noted for luxury assets (e.g., Range Rover, Bentley, jewelry) in prior declarations and reports.
Some to Carney, some to Freeland, some to Trudeau …
Canada’s restaurant industry is often treated as a symbol of resilience. Through inflation, lockdowns, labour shortages, and supply chain disruptions, restaurateurs have somehow kept the lights on. But beneath the surface of the latest sales numbers lies a much darker reality: The economics of operating a restaurant in Canada are becoming increasingly untenable.
The New York Times (NYT) has been sued for alleged discrimination against a white male employee after he was passed over for an editor’s job that went to a multiracial woman.
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accused the newspaper of breaching civil rights law by discriminating against the unnamed male candidate based on his race or sex, according to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court.
The unnamed complainant, who has worked at the newspaper since 2014 and says he has “considerable experience with real estate news”, was interviewed for the deputy property editor role, but not advanced to the final round.

PSG is widely supported by the usual suspects, riots are the norm.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is engaging in a bit of creative communications with his announcement that special constables will soon be able to arrest those using illicit drugs on public transit.
The reality is that special constables, who patrol transit systems including the TTC in Toronto and OC Transpo in Ottawa, are already authorized to perform arrests for Criminal Code violations based on the way their roles are defined by their specific employers (in Ottawa, for example, as peace officers appointed by the Ottawa Police Services Board). What the Ford government is proposing is to allow these special constables new, simplified provincial authority to make arrests and lay charges via an amendment to the Restructuring Public Consumption of Illegal Substances Act, which was passed last year. It’s just complicated enough to distract everyone from Mr. Ford’s private-jet purchase.
I don’t see anything getting better.
A Georgia family claim their son’s beloved therapy pig was shot dead on their street by hungry neighbors.
Garrett Cox, 12, has been left heartbroken ever since the death of his 400-pound hog Bootsy.
The two were closely bonded, as Garrett relied on her to help manage his ADHD and autism, according to his mom Kerrie Cox.
