OTTAWA — Canada’s ongoing cost-of-living crisis is driving household inequality to historic levels, according to a new economic snapshot from Statistics Canada.
The snapshot, released on Thursday, revealed that income inequality between the top and bottom 40 per cent of households reached 47.0 percentage points in the second quarter of 2024, the largest gap ever recorded since Statistics Canada started collecting this data in 1999.
At least 50 thieves descended on a freight train in Chicago’s West Side to ransack whatever items they could get their hands on.
The group of wayward opportunists swarmed the Union Pacific train on Friday to steal multiple boxes before officers arrived.
The robbery occurred just before 4pm in the 400 block of North Lamon Avenue in the South Austin neighborhood.
HAPPENING NOW: Over 100 people are currently looting a train in Chicago.

In the complicated world of international conflicts, contradictory moral positions can often be justified by competing narratives, conflicting facts, differing starting points and starkly opposed ideological perspectives. However, when large-scale heinous crimes are systematically committed by a murderous organization or nation state, responsible countries should take an unequivocal stand. High on a lengthy list of crimes against humanity are the Holocaust, the Ukrainian Holodomor, Khmer Rouge massacres in Cambodia, and the Hutu slaughter of Tutsis in Rwanda. Belatedly, most countries acknowledge that failure to mitigate or at least decry those monstrous tragedies was shameful.
Inviting Islamists to settle in Canada reeks of moral rot.
Smearing citizens as Islamophobes and Racists because they had the good common sense to object also reeks of moral rot.
Continuing to slavishly cultivate the Islamist vote goes beyond mere moral rot and is nothing less than satanic evil.
King Arthur may have been LGBTQ+, according to a Welsh council’s history material.
The legendary ruler is best known for his mythical quest for the Holy Grail, but Denbighshire council has created educational resources which suggest he was significant in other ways.
The local authority has included King Arthur on a timeline of LGBTQ+ history intended to tell “stories of sexual orientation and gender identity”.
Mayor ‘denounces hate’ as debate around white lives matter sign intensifies
A controversial sign(opens in a new tab) has temporarily moved to a neighbour’s lawn just outside of Goderich, but the message on it, ‘White Lives Matter,’ remains the same.
“Well, it’s not a nice sign to see. It is not in the town, but it’s still in the neighboring municipality, so people are either leaving town or coming to the cottage, and that’s something that they’re seeing on Highway 21. And, you know, it shouldn’t be a reflection of our town, but unfortunately, it’s being perceived as a reflection of our town,” said Goderich Mayor Trevor Bazinet.
The sign is not hateful and is controversial only to preening self flagellants and DEI Grifters.
The real crime here is the numb acceptance and propagation of anti-white racism by the media and political class. You really don’t hate them enough.

When Nasrallah was eliminated by IDF forces, Hezbollah was humiliated. What many don’t know is that Hezbollah was also financially decimated. Hezbollah headquarters had $1.5 billion in cash that was incinerated and 2,000lbs of gold which was melted into the earth. #IDF pic.twitter.com/hJNikyFavs

How do you do, fellow dudes?
A 90-second video of “typical” men expressing their support for Kamala Harris was widely mocked online Friday — with critics trashing the awkward spot as the “cringiest political ad ever” and an “absurd piece of rubbish.”
The clip features a slew of apparent farmers, car enthusiasts and gym junkies boasting about their masculinity as they repeatedly insist, “I’m a man” and “I’m man enough.”

So … ABOUT That Men Being Man Enough to Vote for Kamala Ad, Here’s Who Those MANLY Men REALLY Are
The fallout from CTV News’ airing of an altered clip continues, as Bell Media Vice-President Richard Gray faced a barrage of questions from a House of Commons committee on Thursday.
The contention stems from an edited clip that aired on CTV News last month that misrepresented what Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre had said in the House of Commons, leading to a blanket Conservative boycott of the Bell Media-owned news network. After two CTV News employees were let go, and two public apologies from the broadcaster, Poilievre lifted his boycott last week.
Tightening poll figures have triggered nervousness and anxiety in Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, with Donald Trump making gains in the states where it matters most as the election race enters its climactic final phase.
Amid a dramatic news cycle that has seen the US hit by two destructive hurricanes and rising fears of all-out war in the Middle East, the Guardian’s 10-day polling average tracker showed the vice-president and Democratic nominee with a two-point nationwide lead, 48% to 46%, over her Republican opponent as of 10 October – tellingly, down from a 4% advantage she registered a fortnight ago.
Talk about a black mark.
Saying “it doesn’t matter” that she didn’t attend the Oct. 7 vigil to honour those slain at the hands of Hamas because she “wore black” the entire day, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has now boxed herself into a corner.
There’s just too many stories, spins and unfathomable narratives to count.
What a lying scumbag.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer has outrageously claimed that the most challenging part of being locked up in jail on sex trafficking charges has been what’s on the menu.
When asked how Combs was coping in detention at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, the rapper’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told People, ‘I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it.’
Outside the courthouse, another attorney for the disgraced musician, Anthony Ricco, boldly compared his client to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
It was short, concise and eyebrow raising.
At the Liberals’ national caucus meeting in Ottawa on Wednesday morning, the chair of the Atlantic caucus — an ambitious, young Nova Scotia MP named Kody Blois — went to the microphone to report on the discussions earlier held at the regional caucus.
“Atlantic caucus had a difficult, frank and open conversation about the future of the party,” he told Liberal MPs, according to sources in the room. Then he left.

The partial remains of tragic Mount Everest climber Andrew ‘Sandy’ Irvine are believed to have been found – 100 years after he vanished.
Irvine disappeared aged 22 with his climbing partner, the renowned mountaineer George Mallory, in June 1924 when they were attempting to become the first people to climb the world’s highest peak.
Some experts believe that Irvine and Mallory, 38, might have actually achieved their goal before perishing, because they were last seen approximately 800feet from the summit and could have been descending when they fell.
