Can public grocery stores work in Canada?
From Toronto to New York City, politicians want to tackle rising food costs with government-run grocery stores.
In the model announced by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the city would cover construction expenses as well as rent and property taxes — ideally, with those savings passed on to shoppers — and lease to a private operator that would run the store.

The unholy alliance between Islam and the Left is truly something.
I just wonder at what point these people will realize that Muslims view them as useful idiots. https://t.co/QLBZErdRag

Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) employees who came forward as part of an external study investigating mental health at the spy agency described a sometimes isolating and bleak environment “laden with stigma.”
One participant told researchers the “service has a fear of mental illness.”
Those comments are included in a first-of-its-kind research project commissioned by CSIS and published earlier this month in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology. Researchers spoke to employees who were willing to come forward, with their identities protected, to talk about the unique working environment at the spy agency.
Modern Brussels narrates the tragedy of a continent in terminal decline. Once a monument to European civilization—listing such landmarks as the medieval Grand-Place, the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, the neoclassical Palais de Justice—it has been transmogrified into a laboratory of “super-diversity,” a doomsday phenomenon whose presiding ideology is this: abolition of the Christian nation-state. Hosting representatives of 184 nationalities, the city does not merely reflect globalization; it weaponizes it.
OTTAWA – In a polished Beijing banquet hall on January 16, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney opened what is perhaps the most important and least analyzed speech of his young premiership by turning first to Olivier Desmarais and the Canada China Business Council.
“We are honored and grateful,” Carney said. After first turning to Desmarais, grandson of former prime minister Jean Chrétien and a scion of the Power Corporation milieu of Montreal, Carney thanked “the team at the Canada China Business Council for your leadership in bringing together, look at this room, this remarkable room, together.”
MI5 is racing to bolster the defences of Britain’s most critical companies against the hacking threat posed by a powerful new wave of AI.
Experts at the Security Service have been in contact with energy, water and communications companies to warn them about Mythos, an AI tool that has been deemed by its developer Anthropic to be too dangerous for general release.
A source said: “They [MI5] have been asking critical companies to be fully aware of the threat. They are making those responsible aware that the threat has evolved.”
Companies which own Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) include National Grid, BT, water companies and the nuclear power giant EDF. MI5 is responsible for protecting their security.
Once it was confirmed that, for the first time, Canada would be ruled by a majority government achieved through floor-crossing, it didn’t take long for talk of a renewed Online Harms Act to be proposed.
Heritage Minister Marc Miller was approached after his party—thanks to winning three byelections to hold seats it had previously won in last year’s election and gaining five floor-crossing MPs—had turned a minority government into a majority with unfettered legislative power.
The case of Matt Taylor and #Shirtstorm was the last straw for me.
In 2014, a chorus of angry women and their male enablers roasted British astrophysicist Matt Taylor for wearing an “inappropriate” shirt for a historic occasion. Taylor was part of a European Space Agency team, the Rosetta Mission, that sent a probe four billion miles through space to land on a comet, a journey of ten years.

Too many Canadian retirees spend far too much wealth outside our borders. The richest generation in Canadian history, who also happens to be the most heavily subsidized generation, has long enjoyed the luxury of snowbirding in the U.S. and regular trips abroad. But in an era of unprecedented economic uncertainty and risk, we can’t afford to be sending billions to other countries each year on luxury whims.
I don’t think the rot can be fixed, we live in a state poisoned from the 5th columnists within.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex suffer a fresh blow today as it is revealed an overwhelming four-to-one majority of Britons are opposed to them using their titles for commercial gain.
An exclusive poll for The Mail on Sunday also shows strong public appetite for Prince William to be more transparent about his finances amid criticism of his refusal to disclose how much income tax he pays.
And the survey shows that a significant proportion of people do not believe King Charles’s landmark state visit to the US – during which he will meet President Trump five times over four days – should go ahead.
Canada’s military housing shortage has grown to as many as 10,000 units, with new testimony revealing many existing homes are in poor condition and unsuitable for families.
Canadian Forces Housing Agency CEO Paula Zurro told the Commons public accounts committee the gap between available housing and demand now ranges from 7,000 to 10,000 units, with the agency aiming to meet the higher end of that estimate through future construction.
Are women okay? The answer, clearly, is no. Women are not okay. The young ones, especially.
This week, Britain’s New Statesman introduced us to “the Angry Young Women,” an expanding coven of radical, unstable, men-hating, activist women. This is maybe the first time a mainstream outlet in the UK has acknowledged the precipitous leftward drift of young women and the major effects it’s having on British society: on politics, culture, relations between the sexes—pretty much everything you can think of, really.
Whether it’s Israel’s war in Gaza, the “Climate Crisis,” the Patriarchy, racism, or the prospect of a Reform government forcing them out of the workforce and back into the home, there to be tethered to the stove and the marital bed for the rest of their days, Britain’s Angry Young Women are “teetering on the edge of an anxiety attack” at any moment.
As Conservatives wonder if they’ll ever win again, Liberals capture institutions. And that’s how they have a second majority government today, intact even after a change in leadership and a decade in power.
Provincial or federal, private or public, it doesn’t matter. The Liberal Party of Canada probably has at least one tendril in it, because that’s what it’s evolved to do. This has proven to be the most effective strategy around: when the whole landscape is friendly to you and hostile to your biggest opponent, you don’t actually have to do much at all. You can coast on vibes and mediocre performance, and you can even poach some of the other side’s policies and foot soldiers.
We are in deep trouble. Good read.
As the mother of sons, I wish we didn’t spend quite so much time knocking young men. TV talking points like Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere have focussed our attention on problematic blokes to such an extent that few pose an important question: What’s up with the femosphere? It seems that for every male who’s found his mentor in Andrew Tate or the late Charlie Kirk, there’s a young woman who’s been radicalised by Greta Thunberg and AOC (Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to you and me). On both sides of the Atlantic, polling shows young women are far more likely to skew Left than their male counterparts. It’s fair to say this emerging female cohort seems to live in ceaseless dread and fury of fossil fuels, Elon Musk, toxic masculinity, TERFs and neo-Nazis.
