Maine’s Neighbor To The North Has A Sticky Food Scandal Pancaking Across Its Country

A Canadian radio reporter thought the “pure maple syrup” he’d just bought tasted weird so he followed his hunch.

He took it for testing to a food lab, which determined the syrup was half cane sugar.

The maple farmer who distributed the doctored syrup is now a potential target of a class-action lawsuit from consumers across Canada.

"Food fraud is a $50 billion problem in North America. We’ve all been victims at least once—through fraud, counterfeiting, mislabeling, adulteration, you name it. And without the media, we wouldn’t know about the maple syrup scandal unfolding right now."

Child Protection on Trial: The Maria Shahbaz Judgment

The recent judgment of Pakistan’s Federal Constitutional Court in the case of 12-year-old Christian girl Maria Shahbaz has triggered protests, concern, and deep unease — not only within Pakistan but across the international human rights community. For many, this is not simply a controversial ruling; it is a test of whether the law can truly protect the most vulnerable, or whether it can be manipulated to legitimise their exploitation.

Canada’s first fully Indigenous-owned department store closes amid funding challenges

Two years after it launched, Canada’s first fully Indigenous-owned department store has closed its doors, leaving the owner $800,000 in debt, thanks in part to the denial of a City of Toronto grant.

The problem began when Chelsee-Marie Pettit, the founder of Aaniin, applied for a city grant to showcase the work of Indigenous artists at her Eaton Centre pop-up.

Pettit says she thought the city initially approved her application, prompting her to extend the lease on her store. But then an anonymous Indigenous jury, which has the final say in the grant’s approval, denied her funding, creating an added layer of financial burdens.

A murky story.

Kimmel Wonders How Iran Will Negotiate With ‘Religious Fanatics’

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes are so unfunny, even his liberal audience has trouble laughing at them on occasion. One such example occurred on Wednesday when Kimmel tried to employ the famous comedic reversal technique when he wondered how Iran will negotiate with a bunch of “religious fanatics” who “terrorize their own citizens.” Elsewhere, Kimmel congratulated Trump “for chickening out” on his threats ahead of Tuesday’s ceasefire announcement.

JAY GOLDBERG: Canada should be listening to United States trade grievances

Prime Minister Mark Carney has consistently argued that Canada currently has the best trade deal with the United States, with roughly 90% of Canada-U.S. trade shielded from President Donald Trump’s tariffs thanks to the Canada-United-States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA).

He’s not wrong that the CUSMA has shielded Canada from the brunt of Trump’s tariffs. In fact, Canada would be in a deep recession today if such a large portion of cross-border trade weren’t protected by the CUSMA.

As Iran ceasefire wobbles, Houthis hold next potential choke point on oil, commerce

ISTANBUL — The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran cracked on the first day. Israel on Wednesday launched its largest strike on Lebanon since the war began, killing more than 250 people. Iran called it a grave violation and threatened strong responses.

The Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed. Peace talks are scheduled in Islamabad on Friday.

The Yemen-based Houthis — Iranian proxies waging civil war against their own government while regularly lobbing missiles at Israel — were not party to any of it. They have not said a word.

Vance previews Iran negotiations as he departs for Islamabad: ‘Extend the open hand’

Vice President JD Vance departed for Islamabad, Pakistan, on Friday morning, forecasting “positive” negotiations as he leads the U.S. delegation for peace talks with Iran.

“We’re looking forward to the negotiation. I think it’s going to be positive,” Vance told reporters as he boarded Air Force Two.

President Donald Trump dispatched Vance to lead the U.S. envoys for this weekend’s negotiations, which aim to find an end to the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. The president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff will join Vance as part of the U.S. contingent.

After Oct. 7, hate-speech laws looked like the answer. Europe shows why they aren’t

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, recording the horrors and sharing them online. The attack triggered a bloody Israeli invasion of Gaza that killed tens of thousands of Palestinians. It also had immediate consequences far beyond the region.

In Canada, Jewish communities experienced what Deborah Lyons, the former Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, called an “unprecedented wave” of antisemitism involving “harassment, intimidation, threats of violence” and a near tripling of hate crimes. In Europe, pro-Palestinian demonstrations were marred by antisemitic chants. In Berlin, a synagogue was attacked with firebombs while Stars of David were scrawled on apartments housing Jews, reminiscent of Nazi intimidation.

I had a call with @OttawaPolice today. I was told if I don’t delete my X posts where I say Mosques in Occupied Iran are hubs of terrorism and should be bombed, I would be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada.

So I deleted my posts.

German transgender far-right extremist arrested in Czech Republic

A convicted German transgender right-wing extremist, who has been on the run for months, has been arrested in the Czech Republic.

Liebich was arrested on the basis of a European arrest warrant in Krásná in the east of the country, some 100km (62 miles) east of the capital, Prague.

In August 2025, Marla-Svenja Liebich, formerly known as Sven, failed to appear at the prison in the German town of Chemnitz, where she was to serve an 18-month jail term.
