The trial of two teen girls charged in an alleged group attack on a homeless man began Monday with both teens pleading not guilty to second-degree murder.
One of the girls pleaded guilty through her lawyer to the lesser charge of manslaughter, but the plea was rejected by the prosecution and the trial is proceeding on a charge of second-degree murder for both.

Left-wing councils are under fire for sending staff on courses where they pretend to be trees, bats, fish and other “non-human living things” to understand the “connection between species”.
Those on the right are incredulous, arguing that taxpayers’ money is being wasted teaching functionaries to speak to plants. But the courses have been defended by environmentalists who say that officials need to learn empathy and inclusivity, especially in light of climate change.
Canada and the United States appear to have avoided a costly tariff war for now after leaders of both countries found some common ground during a call on Monday.
The tariffs have been delayed for 30 days, according to a post on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s X account.
I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly…

RICHMOND, B.C. — Vancouver-based birth tourism operator Liga Lin says her phone has been buzzing with inquiries from expectant mothers since U.S. President Donald Trump moved to end American birthright citizenship.
Lin’s business, New Joy Postpartum Care, arranges accommodation and services for non-resident women — mostly from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong — who want to give birth in Canada, granting their children automatic citizenship rights.
The industry also exists in the U.S., but Trump’s executive order seeking to end the right to citizenship at birth on American soil has thrown it into disarray, even as the measure was blocked by a U.S. district court judge who called it “blatantly unconstitutional.”
We are a doormat nation thanks to Trudeau.
Anheuser-Busch InBev, for $16 million worth of airtime in Super Bowl LIX, is pandering hard to men who were once their core consumers. The 60-second commercial is shameless, all but begging “bros” to forget Bud’s partnering with a trans influencer in 2023 and Make Bud Light Great Again.
“Big Men on Cul-de-Sac know how to get the party started,” Bud Light wrote with a post of their commercial on X, “and that’s exactly what they’re doing.” The accompanying video has been viewed more than 825,000 times and has people talking. What they’re saying, however, doesn’t speak of success.

Let’s talk about revitalizing our beloved Yonge-Dundas Square at the heart of Toronto.
A new research study on rebranding the square under its new name, Sankofa Square, is out. Called, “Sankofa Square Community Research Study: Public Consultations and insights on the rebranding of Yonge-Dundas Square to Sankofa Square,” it’s supposed to help the city decide how to make the square a more vibrant hub of cultural activities and bring all Torontonians from all backgrounds together.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte agreed with US President Donald Trump regarding Greenland, particularly on the issue of defense, Bild reports.
“When it comes to defense in the Arctic, Trump is right. What I think is very good is that the Prime Minister of Denmark immediately began negotiations with President Trump. Essentially, it was about the high relevance of defense in the far north,” he said.

Like most Canadians, I was very disappointed with U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to place tariffs on all Canadian goods. This decision will harm both Canadian and American consumers, workers and businesses alike, and strain the historic and important friendship between our two nations.
Although the U.S. president has valid concerns regarding the need to address the fentanyl crisis and illegal migration, we, in Canada, share those same concerns and have been working hard since his election to partner with the Americans to crack down on those illegal activities.
WASHINGTON, Feb 3 – President Donald Trump is set to test the limits of his immigration crackdown by invoking a wartime law to deport immigrants alleged to be gang members without court hearings, a broad authority that could supercharge his mass deportation push and potentially sweep in people not charged with crimes.
After taking office, Trump ordered military and immigration officials to be ready by Feb. 3 to implement the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, last used to justify internment camps for people of Japanese, German and Italian descent during World War Two. The move – which would almost certainly face legal challenges – could allow him to bypass due process rights and rapidly remove migrants.

With the Ontario and federal elections on the way, we will soon see if working-class voters in Canada are turning to the populist right. That is certainly the case in other countries. The recent U.S. election saw a major class realignment as those without a college degree overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump. So did union households. Will we see something similar play out here?
Canadian politics of course differs from the U.S. in many respects. One obvious difference is that we have a social-democratic party that has been historically anchored in the working class in some regions of the country.
Working people don’t want what the “intellectual commies” are selling they tuned out long ago. The public service unions are predators and do not represent the working class. It’s that easy.
Foreign aid to Ukraine has become a heated debate with Democrats — and a surprising number of Republicans — insisting that it’s essential for bolstering Ukraine’s defenses against Russia. Joe Biden even went so far as to suggest that Republican resistance to additional aid played a role in the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Now that Trump is in office and the charade is over, Zelensky admits he did not receive over $100 billion of our tax dollars.
He says he “does not know where all the money is”.
Meaning Ukraine was a massive money laundering operation, and the Biden regime never actually cared… pic.twitter.com/V57yeyegiq

All forever wars morph into slush funds with billions siphoned.
… Whatever a “postnational state” is, it was neither Canada pre-2015 nor is it Canada today. Trudeau’s words were a harbinger of a corrosive agenda to upend western societies and supplant local issues with raucous foreign grievances. Canada is hardly alone; Britons were brazenly insulted recently when a radical ideologue suggested iconic Remembrance Day poppies become Poppies for Palestine.

A small gain for the Libs and a big dip for the NDP. Wait till the Libs elect a “puppet” to see where public opinion falls.
The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has said the US and Mexico have agreed to “pause” tariffs threatened by Donald Trump for one month after the two leaders held “a good conversation”.
Mexico had agreed to send 10,000 members of its national guard “to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the US, in particular of fentanyl”. In return, the US had agreed to work to prevent high-powered weapons crossing the border into Mexico. The tariffs would be paused for one month as a result, Sheinbaum added.
NEW: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum folds, says she agreed to send 10,000 troops to the U.S. border after a “good” call with President Trump.
Remarkable.
