Convicted Child Sex Offender Organizing Carney Candidate’s GTA Campaign — Met Prime Minister and MPs

TORONTO — A convicted sex offender who sexually assaulted a child student has been operating as a prominent organizer in the federal Liberal by-election campaign in Scarborough Southwest, promoting candidate Doly Begum to Prime Minister Mark Carney at a campaign event featured on CBC National News, appearing repeatedly at her side from the campaign’s launch through advance voting week, arranging transportation to the polls for voters, and attending community events alongside Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree — with no indication the Liberal Party of Canada vetted his criminal record.

Can AI be a ‘child of God’? Inside Anthropic’s meeting with Christian leaders.

SAN FRANCISCO — Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company valued at $380 billion, can take its pick of Silicon Valley talent thanks to the success of its chatbot Claude. But last month, the start-up sought help from a group rarely consulted in tech circles: Christian religious leaders.

The company hosted about 15 Christian leaders from Catholic and Protestant churches, academia and the business world at its headquarters in late March for a two-day summit that included discussion sessions and a private dinner with senior Anthropic researchers, according to four participants who spoke with The Washington Post.

The seat of power

The seat of power

A nail-biting Quebec by-election that was supposed to make or break the Liberals’ hopes of a majority government now looks more like a test of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s popularity in a part of the country not given to displays of Canadian unity.

The game has changed since Mr. Carney called the by-election in Terrebonne last month, after the Supreme Court of Canada annulled last year’s federal election result in the former Bloc Québécois stronghold, which the Liberals had won by a single ballot.

Two recent floor-crossings have lowered the stakes for Mr. Carney, whose caucus is now just one seat shy of the 172 he needs to form a majority. On Monday, two Toronto-area by-elections in safe Liberal ridings will likely put him over the top. Terrebonne, an off-island suburb north of Montreal where the Liberal majority appeared to hang in the balance, now seems like a bonus.

Zohran Mamdani’s racial Stalinism

Zohran Mamdani’s racial Stalinism

New York may be the greatest city on Earth – but don’t count its mayor, Zohran Mamdani, among its fans.

According to Mamdani, New York City is little more than a cesspit of racism and white supremacy, and has been ever since it was stumbled upon by the Dutch in the 17th century. ‘New York’s history has been one of colonisation, exploitation and racial oppression’, states the mayor’s recently released Citywide Racial Equity Plan. The city’s ‘racial inequalities’, it asserts, are ‘rooted in our 400-year history’, beginning with the European settlement of New Amsterdam in 1624 and continuing unabated until, we can only suppose, Mamdani’s election as mayor in November.

Geoff Russ: How Canada is becoming a low-trust country

During Easter and Passover, heavily armed police officers were deployed to guard places of religious worship in Toronto. Those are not the traits of a high-trust society, and there are many more pointing to the further barbarization of our country.

Another historic church property in Miramichi was torched over the same Easter Weekend.

Nearly 60% of Canadians support becoming a full member of the European Union, poll says

Nearly 60% of Canadians support becoming a full member of the European Union, poll says

Nearly three in five Canadians support the idea of Canada joining the European Union, a new poll suggests.

A Nanos Research survey conducted for The Globe and Mail shows that 57 per cent of respondents would either support (28 per cent) or somewhat support (29 per cent) Canada becoming a full member of the EU.

The results also show that 32 per cent of respondents were either opposed or somewhat opposed to the idea, while 12 per cent were unsure.

Maybe those in favour hope they can Schengen their way out of here?

US, Iran fail to reach peace agreement after marathon talks in Pakistan

US, Iran fail to reach peace agreement after marathon talks in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Vice President JD Vance said an agreement was not reached with Iran to end the six-week war that has rocked the Middle East following marathon peace talks in Pakistan.

Throughout the roughly 21 hours of talks, very few details were made available — leaving the world to speculate about what would come from the past six weeks of war.

“We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news,” Vance told reporters in Islamabad.

PINDER: Mark Carney claims he’ll ‘Build Canada’ — but his climate conditions could break Alberta

While there has been little impact on the planet, the United Nations (UN) Earth Summit in 1992 has dramatically impacted the world — carbon dioxide demonized, emission reductions favoured over economic growth, subsidies by Western governments and eroded balance sheets, and individual freedom lost to officious rules.

The increasingly desperate desire of the UN to unilaterally expand its role towards global governance rules is obvious. The “climate crisis” is its chosen pathway to more power.

Should America be Venice or Sparta?

Should America be Venice or Sparta?

Americans never tire of asking themselves whether their country is turning into Rome. A Latin motto on the Great Seal of the United States proclaims a novus ordo seclorum – a “new order of ages.” But in the poem from which that phrase is adapted, Virgil’s fourth eclogue, the words mean a quite exact replay of past events: there will be, for example, another voyage of the Argo and another Trojan War. Our new order might likewise repeat the history of Rome.

The U.S. is under the economic weather, meaning ‘one hell of a cold or the flu’ for Canada, economists fear

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Grocery prices are elevated, gas prices are high, job markets are cooling, and U.S. President Donald Trump is sticking to his tariff plans while the world eyes a shaky ceasefire with Iran.

The two-week truce this week between the U.S. and Iran has raised hopes and markets while lowering oil prices somewhat — Brent is now in the mid-US$90s per barrel, down from a conflict peak of $120 — but there are already signs that peace may not last: There are disagreements over Lebanon’s inclusion in the ceasefire, Israel is vowing to continue hitting Hezbollah, and Tehran has said continued hits on Lebanon render any negotiations pointless.
