Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith loses nomination race for provincial byelection in Scarborough

“There was a ton of scrutineers in there, lots of stories about what’s happened inside, but I’ve got to debrief,” he said in the rainy parking lot of the school where the voting took place, after initially trying to dodge reporters.

“I’ve spoken to a few scrutineers already who said they’ve never seen anything like it, and it’s unreal what happened in there.”

AOC claims American Revolution was fight against ‘billionaires’ as critics school her on actual history

AOC claims American Revolution was fight against ‘billionaires’ as critics school her on actual history

“Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under fire for radically rewriting history by claiming the American Revolution was all about fighting against “billionaires” — similar to the fight she and other fellow socialists are waging on capitalism.

“The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time, and we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and the state,” claimed a clueless Ocasio-Cortez during an appearance Friday at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics with longtime Democrat strategist David Axelrod.

Canada open to deeper integration with U.S. in some sectors, Carney says

Canada open to deeper integration with U.S. in some sectors, Carney says

Speaking to a room of progressive policy experts in Toronto Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney offered some insight into what Canada has offered up ahead of an official review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) this summer.

“Canada remains open to deeper integration,” said Carney, whose government has so far signaled it is in no rush to negotiate a new deal.

“Like Mexico, Canada remains open to deeper integration, including options for fortress North America in (certain) sectors. And to be clear, those offers are on the table,” said the prime minister.


Pretty sure he can’t remember all his lies anymore.

There Are Ants in This Canadian Hospital. Again.

There Are Ants in This Canadian Hospital. Again.

Ants can be a nuisance. Just ask officials at a hospital in Canada who are dealing with an “appearance of ants within the operating room” that has forced them to indefinitely suspend some surgeries there.

The ants appeared recently at Carman Memorial Hospital in Carman Manitoba, according to a statement from Southern Health-Santé Sud, the provincial authority that oversees the hospital.

‘White hands’ race scandal paints a dark picture for Aboriginal art

‘White hands’ race scandal paints a dark picture for Aboriginal art

In the introduction to a blockbuster exhibition of work by Aboriginal artists at the National Gallery in Canberra, a painter called Yaritji Young explains her motivations.

“Our ancestors painted on the caves,” says Young, whose forebears called Australia’s vast southern desert home for thousands of years. “This is where I learnt my story as a child. I think about these caves when I am making a major work. Ours is a big and important country, I need a canvas that will support me to share that.”

Ford Motor to receive $464M from feds to pivot to F-series production at Oakville plant after EV plans scrapped

Ford Motor to receive $464M from feds to pivot to F-series production at Oakville plant after EV plans scrapped

The federal government is giving Ford Motor Co. $464.5 million toward retooling its idled Oakville assembly plant to produce heavy-duty F-series gas and diesel-powered trucks.

The funding — mentioned in a federal database for grants and contributions — comes as the Dearborn, Mich.-based auto manufacturer revealed it has increased its own spending on the retooling to $5 billion from $1.8 billion.

The database says the funding agreement, which took effect March 30, runs until 2038.


Trump is determined to bring all assembly home. Will Ford take the money and run?

Up to 2cm a month: Nasa keeps track as Mexico City sinks into the ground

Up to 2cm a month: Nasa keeps track as Mexico City sinks into the ground

Walking into Mexico City’s sprawling central Zócalo is a dizzying experience. At one end of the plaza, the capital’s cathedral, with its soaring spires, slumps in one direction. An attached church, known as the Metropolitan Sanctuary, tilts in the other. The nearby National Palace also seems off-kilter.

The teetering of many of the capital’s historic buildings is the most visible sign of a phenomenon that has been ongoing for more than a century: Mexico City is sinking at an alarming rate.

Now, the metropolis’s descent is being tracked in real time thanks to one of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space. Known as Nisar, the satellite can detect minute changes in Earth’s surface, even through thick vegetation or cloud cover.
