The first presidential debate is scheduled for Thursday, and, as of right now, the Biden campaign claims their candidate will show up. I’m not so sure, but I guess we’ll see. Interestingly enough, one of the moderators in the debate, Jake Tapper, is the subject of a defamation lawsuit that could cost the network $1 billion.
More than 12,000 mid-income households entered a city lottery to get a break on rent. Their chance of winning: 1 per cent
When Toronto city hall and the developer of a gleaming new high-rise launched a lottery for apartments at reduced rents this spring, hopeful households turned out in droves — nearly 12,500 of them, each seeking refuge from a worsening housing affordability crisis.
The first phase of the west-end Galleria on the Park development was offering brand-new, city-supported homes aimed at mid-income earners, which cost hundreds of dollars less than market rates.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark will tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country to do so as it targets a major source of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.
The aim is to reduce Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030, said Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus.
Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly had a stark warning Tuesday for Canadian citizens in Lebanon.
“If the armed conflict intensifies, it could impact your ability to leave the country and our ability to provide you with consular services,” she said. “Canada is not currently offering assisted departures or evacuations for Canadians in Lebanon, and these are not guaranteed.
… Canada spent $94 million and leased seven ships to evacuate Canadians from Lebanon to Cyprus and Turkey in 2006.
The evacuation led to complaints in Canada about “citizens of convenience” after reports emerged that many evacuees returned to live in Lebanon as soon as it was safe to do so.
Canada ultimately evacuated about 15,000 people. Today, a similar number of Canadian citizens have registered with the embassy in Lebanon. Joly has said that is likely just a “fraction” of the true number of Canadians in the Middle Eastern country.
Never is the time to bring in more Muslims.
Donald Trump has launched vigorous attacks on voting by mail. His relentless assault on the integrity of mail-in balloting has cast a shadow over the confidence of American voters. Our recent investigation suggests that Trump’s false claims also had reverberations across the border, influencing how some Canadians view mail-in ballots.
We find a significant trust divide in voting by mail in Canada between those most likely sympathetic to Trump’s political pronouncements — for example, Canadians holding right-wing populist views — and other Canadians. The trust gap is also much wider among Canadians exposed to U.S.-based media.
Three Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials told NBC News on Tuesday that 50 out of 400 illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States through a human smuggling network connected to the Islamic State are still unaccounted for.
The revelation comes after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested eight men from Tajikstan in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles this month over suspected ties to the Islamic State of Iran and Syria (ISIS).

He is suspected of being the instigator of the anti-Semitic rape in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine) for which three minors aged 12 and 13 were indicted. Lorenzo* , 12 years old, meets Axelle* , also 12 years old, during an inter-college sports meeting at the end of May. A “love affair” then begins between this minor of Portuguese origin and the young girl of Jewish faith.
The latter initially makes her believe that she is Muslim. A precaution, she explained after her rape, to “protect herself” and “avoid any aggression”. After October 7, 2023 (date of the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel, Editor’s note), the young girl was in fact harassed in her college because of her religion, reports her family (…)

Frankly I agree the Jewish vote did turn the tables however would you see a similar headline suggesting Muslims were the cause?
As if Joe Biden’s America weren’t a bad enough environment for small business owners, it’s fixing to get even worse—not only do they have to consider a looming recession, inflation driving up overhead, smash and grabs (oftentimes with little to no recourse), a consumer with less to spend, sky-high insurance rates, and increasing taxation, now they get to wonder if copper thieves will strip their A/C units and put their small, family-owned enterprise out of business during their busiest month of the year.
In recent days, rumours have been swirling online about Israel’s alleged use of trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners, with the allegations entering the mainstream when progressive commentator Briahna Joy Gray shared them on X.
“I might have missed it, but has the Times or any other major US paper covered these reports of Israel training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners?” she wrote.
A top-secret US submarine prototype weapon called “Manta Ray” has been spotted by eagle-eyed Google Maps users and remains plainly visible to the internet public.
Satellite photos showing the “Star Wars”-looking vessel docked at Port Hueneme naval base in California went viral Sunday, its unmistakable profile standing out in stark contrast to its dockmates.
Artificial intelligence (AI) companies Suno and Udio faced legal action Monday launched by major record labels Sony Music, Universal Music Group and Warner Records. Allegations include committing mass copyright infringement by using the labels’ recordings to train music-generating AI systems.
Here’s how bad a loss this Toronto byelection is for Justin Trudeau — and why Pierre Poilievre now has a new problem on his hands
Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives went into Monday’s byelection of Toronto-St. Paul’s claiming that the odds were against them in this downtown riding.
So much for that: Don Stewart is the newest member of Poilievre’s caucus.
Now, with the victory in what has been a stronghold for the Liberals — solid red for the last 31 years — it is going to be harder for the Conservatives to claim they’re underdogs whenever the next election rolls around.
That Justin Trudeau is so clever! He orchestrated that loss to sink Poilievre!
This morning I issued the following statement on the results of the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection. Once again, thank you to all of our volunteers and supporters, and everyone reaching out today. pic.twitter.com/qHrDXU9lO2
