Shakedown: Toronto hit with $50M class action lawsuit over decision to deny refugees shelter beds

A proposed class action has been launched against the City of Toronto on behalf of refugees, refugee claimants, and asylum seekers who were denied access to shelter beds between November 2022 and October 2023.

The lawsuit was filed on May 30 by the Black Legal Action Centre, Lewis Litigation PC, and Stieber Berlach LLP, on behalf of 40-year-old Nigerian refugee claimant Wasiu Adekanmbi, who is a member of the Black and LGBTQ+ communities.

Adekanmbi arrived in Toronto on Sept. 11, 2023 and knew no one and did not have a place to stay, the lawsuit’s statement of claim said. He’s since found work and is now living in Niagara Falls, Ont.

Video of Mayor Olivia Chow welcoming well fed Gaza “refugees” to Toronto pulled from Instagram over online abuse

Mayor Olivia Chow says she’s been forced to remove a video she posted to social media in which she welcomed a Palestinian family to Toronto, after they faced a barrage of online abuse.

In a post to Instagram on Monday, Chow criticized Israel over the deepening crisis in Gaza, saying she supports “the Canadian government’s recent condemnation” of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “as the humanitarian disaster worsens.”

“Israel must allow Palestinians to access food, water and humanitarian aid. Famine should never be used as a weapon,” the mayor wrote in the post.

They look well fed.

CHARLEBOIS: Why DoorDash’s price tactics should worry us all

Some may dismiss food delivery users as lazy, but that stereotype ignores reality. Many Canadians rely on apps like DoorDash or UberEats not by choice, but out of necessity — due to limited mobility, demanding schedules, or even inclement weather.

What’s truly lazy is the platform’s approach to pricing transparency. Abusive pricing is abusive pricing, regardless of convenience.

Windsor Ramadan dinner and LGBT art event part of King’s diversity drive

A Ramadan meal and an LGBT+ history month lecture at Windsor Castle this year have been hailed as exemplifying the King’s “momentous” commitment to diversity.

The Royal Collection Trust – which oversees the upkeep of the royal palaces – said in its annual report, released on Tuesday, that “inclusion and diversity was a key priority this year” as it hosted a series of religious and LGBT+ celebrations.

For the first time in its 1,000-year history, Windsor Castle hosted an Open Iftar meal in its state apartments to mark the breaking of fast for Muslims during Ramadan. Last autumn, it hosted an inaugural Diwali Family Day including prayers from the head priest of the Slough Hindu Temple.

No we don’t …

We need an official policy prohibiting removal of at-risk trans and non-binary people to the U.S.

The Canadian refugee process is often praised for its fairness, efficiency and commitment to human rights. It is the main avenue for trans and non-binary people around the world to seek safety after fleeing persecution in their countries of nationality. But for trans and non-binary Americans who fear for their lives in the United States, the ability to access Canada’s refugee system is far less clear. So far, it seems, the Canadian government is less willing to acknowledge the threats facing trans and non-binary people throughout the U.S.

HANNAFORD: Now, just a minute on this ‘racist Alberta’ schtick

One should never dismiss out of hand the accusations one hears from time to time, that unkind Albertans make racist remarks to, or in the hearing of, immigrants of colour. In a population of five million, even one tenth of one percent would be five thousand people and were it only half that, it’s still enough to make quite a few people uncomfortable.

And that is indeed what the Calgary office of the Alberta Newcomers Centre told Fakiha Baig, a reporter for the Canadian Press recently. Quoting Centre staff, Baig writes,

MSNBC Goes Full Racist, Attacking Sydney Sweeney Ad Campaign

Remember how, in recent years, nearly every high-profile “racist incident” that dominated the headlines eventually turned out to be a false flag or outright hoax? Well, nothing’s changed. The outrage-obsessed left has apparently run out of real things to be angry about, so now they’re inventing reasons to keep the mob frothing.

Terry Newman: Why your steak sucks this summer

Have you returned from a grocery store this summer after having dropped a small fortune on a steak, only to peel it off the barbeque to find it just wasn’t that satisfying?

It may not have been just the price that let your taste buds down. While the price of beef has surged since January — leading to price increases in popular grilling cuts like striploin, up 34 per cent, top sirloin, up 34 per cent, and rib cuts, up almost 12 per cent — there could be another reason why your steak left you with a bad taste in your mouth.

A Black female Jesus and a gay Judas will shake up the Hollywood Bowl

Adam Lambert sits on a rickety wooden chair just outside the main chapel at the Hollywood United Methodist Church on a break from rehearsing the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Dressed in beige shorts and a vest with matching mid-calf boots, Lambert wears his trademark glitter eye makeup with thick black liner. He’s calm and collected, content to spend his lunch break chatting, even though the rehearsal schedule is a breakneck nine days total. He chalks up his easygoing demeanor to the high-wattage professionalism of the cast, and his familiarity with the music.

Why is this needed?
