Creating a Youth Climate Corps could be Carney’s FDR moment … or not

Being raised in Canada taught me two enduring lessons: To care for the environment, and to contribute meaningfully to public life.

That’s why in 2023, when an unexpected call from the White House came in, I stepped forward. I was appointed by president Joe Biden, and within months began work on the historic American Climate Corps program.

In his first budget, Prime Minister Mark Carney has proposed a similar climate corps for Canada – a bold, consequential, nation-building program with deep roots and a rich legacy dating back nearly 100 years. This is exactly the kind of generational investment that young people need.


Sounds like a job application.

Toronto woman moving after home invasion, upset daughter who called 911 left on hold

Maryam Alavinasab sits at the dining room table in her two-storey home near York Mills Road and Leslie Street and cries, explaining she has barely slept in the past six days.

The mother of two daughters, aged 12 and 18, who moved to Canada from Iran seven years ago says she bought the home two years ago before gutting and re-designing it. The main floor bathroom, she says, even earned her a design award.

WARMINGTON: Toronto spits on veterans’ graves with land, slavery acknowledgements

Lest we forget our veterans who served and died in foreign wars and, instead, focus on exaggerated slavery and past colonialism.

Only in Toronto would we be as stupid and as insensitive as that.
