A new poll has revealed a “deep divide” among Canadians’ attitudes to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID).
The online survey, conducted by ResearchCo., found that 41 per cent of Canadians think health-care professionals should be able to decline providing MAID services if they have a moral or faith-based objection.
Between 2012 and 2021, the French court system dismissed 94 percent of rape complaints and 86 percent of sexual violence complaints
A 19-year-old Malian national has been arrested in connection with the rape of a young mother in Vannes, France, on the afternoon of Sunday, April 5, 2026.
Prosecutors state that the two had been in contact over social media when the suspect showed up at her apartment uninvited. Once he had the woman alone, he pulled out a knife and forcibly raped her.
A 55-year-old Toronto man has been charged after protesters were allegedly threatened with death on Friday in the downtown area.
Toronto Police said demonstrators were protesting Friday at about 4 p.m. in the Yonge-Bloor Sts. area, where the accused allegedly approached, repeatedly yelled at and threatened to kill protesters.
Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Greece have all ruled out sending naval forces to support the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, exposing a growing rift inside NATO at the very moment global energy routes are under threat. Within hours of Washington’s request, European governments had distanced themselves from the operation and insisted that NATO has neither the mandate nor the interest to enter a war with Iran.
The refusal has triggered another dispute inside the Atlantic alliance. President Donald Trump has linked European participation in Hormuz to the future of NATO, warning that the United States cannot continue guaranteeing Europe’s security if Europeans refuse to support American operations abroad.
The federal Liberals are now the strongest party in the country, as was amply on display at their convention in Montreal over the weekend.
It’s not their politics that have put them there, as was also clear in Montreal. It’s the absence of politics — the ability to shape-shift into a force that can’t be pinned down as right or left, progressive or conservative.
Aside from Carney it’s the same grifters working the same grifts.
On Friday morning, several shows on Fox News Channel highlighted the shocking murder of a woman in Fort Myers, Florida, by an illegal alien which was recorded on a surveillance camera. CNN also ran a piece on the killing, although reporter Isabel Rosales seemed less sure of whether the perpetrator should be called “illegal.”
Waymo is reportedly planning a significant step toward bringing its driverless taxis to Toronto’s streets. But it’s unclear if the California-based tech company will be welcome north of the border, with the mayor and premier harbouring concerns about the autonomous driving technology’s impact on local jobs.
According to a spokesperson for Mayor Olivia Chow, Waymo has told her office it plans to apply to the Ontario government’s automated vehicle pilot program. That would enable the company to test its vehicles in the province and serve as a potential precursor to launching commercial robo taxi operations in its largest city.
No more migrant drivers? I’m on board.
Yes, Waymo (and to a lesser extent other driverless systems) has begun to take market share and exert downward pressure on human cab, Uber, and Lyft drivers in the cities where robotaxis operate at scale—but it has not caused widespread or total displacement yet.
Rock singer Melissa Etheridge said her late son, Beckett — who died from causes related to opioid addiction in 2020, at the age of 21 — came out as straight when he was 11, and apologized to her for not being gay.
“I remember my oldest son, Beckett — who actually passed away — when he was about eleven, he came to me, he goes, ‘Mom, I’m sorry, but I think I’m straight,’” Etheridge recalled during a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, eliciting raucous laughs from both the host and the audience.
While censorship is often the main focus of discussions about free speech, there’s a related phenomenon that can do just as much damage to a free society. Not by preventing people from saying things they believe in, but by forcing them to say things they do not.
Compelled speech requires people to use certain words or phrases, or to partake in upholding certain ideological beliefs. It is just as dangerous to free expression as overt censorship.
BRUSSELS — In Brussels, where Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made an art form of obstructing European Union policies, the sigh of relief over Orban’s resounding election defeat on Sunday was nearly audible. Some who regarded Orban a longtime nemesis could barely mask their jubilation.
A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger,” the head of the E.U.’s executive branch, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, posted soon after the result emerged. The Hungarian leader conceded Sunday night to Peter Magyar, a conservative who promised to rebuild democratic institutions after 16 years of erosion under Orban, who reshaped the political system in his favor.

Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, is on the brink of securing a majority government, with his Liberal party poised to win at least two closely watched byelections and courting an “almost unprecedented” string of defections from rival parties.
Carney’s ability to turn a strong minority into a narrow majority through electoral gains and floor crossing has strengthened his reputation as a pragmatic leader above the cut and thrust of partisan politics. But his efforts to bring in lawmakers from across the political spectrum has also sparked a fierce internal debate over the Liberals’ values and the risks of consolidating more power.
WTF? Carney is a good wartime grifter … maybe.
President Trump’s announcement that the U.S. military would blockade the Strait of Hormuz sets up a risky new showdown that could draw American forces into a prolonged struggle to control the strategic chokepoint while compounding the global economic damage caused by the conflict.
Hours after U.S. peace talks with Iran broke down in Pakistan, Trump said that the Navy would begin the blockade, “seek and interdict” vessels that had paid Iran to get through the strait, and then start clearing the waterway of sea mines. “He added that any Iranian forces that fired on U.S. troops or commercial shipping would be “BLOWN TO HELL.”

Two of the five men accused of murdering a teenager in a terrifying Stoney Creek shooting linked to Greater Toronto Area tow truck wars are refugee claimants, the Toronto Sun has learned.
A third man accused is a permanent resident.
“It’s like having a curfew,” says Rose Lelliott, 23. Outside her flat, on a quiet road in Exeter – the sort of place you’d imagine your mother would encourage you to live, were you a young woman moving away from home for the first time – the street lights that once guided her way to the local train station are all either broken, working at half-power, or permanently snuffed out.
Lelliott commutes to London once a week, where she works as a researcher at the House of Commons. To make the train for her 9am start, she has to be out the door by 5.15am, but the streetlamps along her road are turned off between 12.30pm and 5.30am. After 9.30pm, they’re dimmed to just 40 per cent of their usual power.
NDP MP Leah Gazan is standing by her use of the initialism MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ and denouncing those who are mocking her online for using the term.
A clip of the Winnipeg Centre MP saying “the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” during a news conference in Ottawa went viral this week and sparked backlash, including insults from Elon Musk and U.S. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
“Bigots are bigots,” Gazan told CBC News in response.
