Support for Liberals, Carney unchanged despite no trade deal with U.S.: poll

A new poll finds support for Prime Minister Mark Carney remains unchanged despite not reaching a trade deal with the United States earlier this month.

The Abacus Data poll conducted in the days following the passage of the self-imposed August 1 deadline for a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump shows support for the Liberals remains strong despite signs that the government isn’t doing enough when it comes to the stagnant economy and affordability issues.

Could cable cars help fix traffic problems in Canada?

Toronto Gondola Transit

What if your daily commute didn’t mean enduring bumper-to-bumper traffic but soaring above it instead?

It sounds like wishful thinking, but in parts of the world, cable cars or gondolas — typically seen at ski resorts or tourist spots — are actually used as public transit, helping people get around in their day-to-day life.

For example, Bogotá, Colombia, relies on the TransMiCable to transport people daily. In Oregon, the Portland Aerial Tram averages 9,000 rides each weekday, while Mi Teléferico in La Paz, Bolivia, has a capacity of as many as 34,000 passengers per hour in each direction.

On July 29th 2025, a member of the Irish police (Garda Siochana) was attacked by Abdullah Khan, a second-generation Pakistani Muslim immigrant in Dublin city centre. Ireland’s state broadcaster, RTE, in the immediate aftermath of the knife attack was quick to assert that the attacker had Irish citizenry: “The man, who is an Irish citizen and born in Ireland, can be questioned for up to 24 hours.”

‘Mind the Grab’ is victim-blaming at its worst

It has been a very long time since London’s Oxford Street struck the neutral observer as having the kind of prosperity and allure that one would expect of the nation’s premier commercial thoroughfare.

Still, even by the standards of the vape shops and ‘American Candy’ stores that long ago replaced Topshop, HMV and the Virgin Megastore as the street’s vital organs, the latest eye-catching innovation is a dismal symptom of London’s defeatism and decline.
