US President Donald J. Trump recently said that he has never heard of a Lebanese law banning contact with Israel. “I never heard of that, but… I’m pretty sure that’ll be ended very quickly,” Trump told reporters. “I know Lebanon doesn’t want that… That’s crazy.”
Trump is right. These laws are “crazy.” They are also poisonous.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford regularly worked from home in January, even as civil servants were ordered back to the office five days per week.
A copy of the premier’s itinerary obtained by Global News using freedom of information laws shows that over five weeks from early January, Ford took many meetings at his house or virtually.
Even though it spreads hate and incites violence on a nightly basis, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s hateful rhetoric attacking her family is supported and protected by ABC – and that needs to stop – First Lady Melanie Trump said Monday following Saturday’s assassination attempt at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner.
Thursday, in a foreboding “comedy” skit about the upcoming dinner, Kimmel joked about assassination of President Donald Trump…
The number of known homeless encampments across Toronto this spring has plunged dramatically from last year, new city data shows — with their official count in March more than 70 per cent lower than at the same time last year.
This dramatic downswing is seen by city hall as a sign of progress, as demand has eased on the shelter system and more people were housed in 2025 than 2024. But several community workers warn that they’re seeing more people sleeping rough without a tent to stay under the radar, sheltering instead in places like transit stations or beneath doorways.
Merely a month ago, rocker Bruce Springsteen defended comparing Immigration Customs and Enforcement agents to Nazis at an anti-President Donald Trump “No Kings” rally. Now, the E Street Band frontman is striking a much different tone, telling an Austin, Texas, crowd on Sunday that he’s sending a “prayer of thanks that our President, nor anyone in the administration, nor anyone attending, was injured” after an armed man charged through a Secret Service security barrier, and shooting an agent, on Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The Bishnoi gang may not be the only criminal organization involved in extortion crimes in Canada, according to a new federal report.
The report, from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), also states that international students from India facing financial pressure are being used as “money mules” in extortion crimes.
I bet LPC fingers are to be found in this criminal pie. The LPC have turned immigration into a crime syndicate.
U.S. — The nation was left in complete disbelief today upon learning that the so-called Patriot Front might have actually been fake.
Despite videos of masked Patriot Front members shouting seemingly unscripted mantras like “we sure don’t like black people, eh fellas?”, new reports suggest that such videos may have actually been staged by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
One by one, the pins have been knocked out from under West Vancouver businessman Fred Sharp. He was ordered to pay the equivalent of more than $70 million to the U.S. government and $2 million to Quebec’s securities regulator for his role in schemes to manipulate share prices. He’s banned from stock markets in Canada. His bank and brokerage accounts were frozen and ordered to be seized. Known as the Canadian mastermind in the Panama Papers, Sharp has lost case after case in court.
But Sharp still has his freedom: Despite a push within the Canada Revenue Agency years ago to criminally investigate him, he’s never been charged in Canada. And while the U.S. Justice Department indicted him two years ago for securities fraud and conspiracy, there is no public evidence of an effort to extradite him.
WASHINGTON—King Charles III arrives in Washington on Monday to publicly celebrate 250 years since a nascent U.S. republic ousted his forebears, and privately ensure that a fraying trans-Atlantic relationship can cope with another two-plus years of President Trump.
The four day visit—billed as Charles’s most high-wire diplomatic act since coming to the throne—will include a speech to Congress, the first time a British monarch has spoken there since 1991, a private audience with Trump and state dinner in Washington, as well as trips to New York and Virginia.
Andrew Carandang and Jonathan Pan have been coming to Markham’s Pacific Mall for as long as they can remember — but there are still surprises to be had.
“They sell tools here?” Pan said, walking through the mall’s glass-box maze of more than 350 stores and stalls.
Three years ago the lifelong friends brought their online vintage clothing business Legacy Toronto into a physical store here, in what a sign inside brags is the largest indoor Asian mall in North America: “You must see it.”
The Star celebrates counterfeit goods.
It didn’t take long for the camaraderie that embodied the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner to evaporate after thousands of individuals online cheered President Trump’s would-be assassin and compared him favorably to another alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione.Shortly after the Saturday night shooting, President Trump expressed support for the press corps that he has openly and frequently disdained. He encouraged members of the nation’s premiere media association to organize a quick redo of the annual black-tie fête affectionately known as Washington’s “Nerd Prom.”But the goodwill ended shortly after the release of details about the alleged shooter, Cole Tomas Allen.
In the shadowy global gold industry, where terrorists, drug dealers and dictators launder illegally mined gold into the mainstream market, one major supplier says buyers can count on its product to be clean and ethically sourced.
The Royal Canadian Mint says it can trace all of its gold back to its origins, with cutting-edge technologies including a Bitcoin-like software it calls Bullion Genesis. The Mint, which is backed by the Canadian government, assures buyers that it does not refine gold linked to “illegitimate nonstate armed groups.”
“It’s all North American, predominantly Canada,” the Mint’s refining chief, Rob Sargent, said in an interview.
But what the Canadians call North American includes gold from a swirl of faraway sources — including Colombian mines controlled by the Clan del Golfo drug cartel.
It was a fiercely contested election.
Seven candidates, each bringing a unique set of skills and perspectives, battled to be the next mayor. Locals followed every twist and turn, in a race that lasted weeks. The political hopefuls made repeated, frequently loud, appearances on TV news, and posed for photos on social media. By the end of the election onlookers agreed that any of the candidates would make a very good mayor.
Ultimately, there could only be one winner.
Mark Carney arrived on Canada’s political scene last year as an Ivy League and Oxford educated economist and a former central banker for two countries.
He had an impressive resume and ambitions to be prime minister but had never run for public office until replacing Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader.
There was concern his lack of political experience would be a liability, but under his leadership, the Liberals won a minority government, which in a year had solidified into a narrow majority following the defection of five opposition members of parliament to his party.
A man armed with knives, a shotgun and a handgun was barreling through security at a full sprint, heading toward the ballroom at the Washington Hilton.
At that moment on Saturday night, President Trump and many of America’s top government officials and journalists were one floor down, crammed into the ballroom for a black-tie dinner. The mentalist Oz Pearlman, the night’s entertainer, was leaning over Mr. Trump and the first lady, demonstrating one of his mind-reading tricks by trying to guess the name that the White House press secretary had picked out for her baby, due to be born any day.
The press …
