When actress Rachel Zegler gives an interview, Disney executives get nervous. The Snow White star has caused no small amount of PR damage from speaking off the cuff, and her latest interview with Variety features its fair share of zingers.
Rachel Zegler’s career is one of the mysteries of Hollywood
International students are not required to get police certificates from law enforcement in their home countries before coming to Canada — something critics say needs to change.
People applying for permanent residency, citizenship or International Experience Canada (commonly known as the working holiday visa) are required to produce such police certificates, which give Canadian officials early warning of an applicant’s possible criminal history in their country of origin.
But Canadian visa officers don’t necessarily have access to police-drafted documents when deciding whether to admit an international student.
How bout no international students for a good long while.
Recent data from the US Census Bureau has revealed that more than 126,340 people emigrated from Canada to the US in 2022 – a 70 percent increase from 2012 in a move many have attributed to the country’s increasingly high cost of living. However, as a nation that granted permanent residency to 2.5 million people in just eight years and thousands more expected to settle south of the border in the coming years, it’s an alarming trend that has the potential to undermine the country’s robust immigration policy.
To prevent homicide in Toronto, we must start with addressing grief in Black communities
Homicide grief among Black communities in Canada has reached pandemic proportions — and it requires an urgent, co-ordinated public health response.
… Make no mistake, though. This isn’t a disease of Black communities. It’s a societal problem that will continue to worsen if not addressed. As with the inequitable spread of COVID-19, racism and inequalities embedded in our social structures and systems underlie homicide’s disproportionate pervasiveness.
Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the major broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC and their liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have yet to devote a single second to disturbing new allegations leveled by the Daily Mail against Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff that claim he slapped a then-girlfriend in 2012.

Abdul Qadeer Syed has been working as a private religious instructor for the past 6 years.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday that “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” One reason for that is that under Biden-Harris, FEMA spent $650 million this fiscal year providing services and housing to illegal aliens. And $364 million the year before that.
The leader of the Quebec independence party propping up the government of Justin Trudeau has insisted that the political lifeline depends on the quick passage of two pieces of legislation, and warned Canada’s embattled prime minister that he remains “very vulnerable”.
The Bloc Québécois leader, Yves-François Blanchet, told the Guardian the Liberals must act swiftly to enshrine protections for dairy farmers and boost payments to seniors to stave off a fatal vote of non-confidence. He warned that unless both pieces of legislation are passed into law by 29 October, his party would begin discussions with other parties to trigger a federal election.

Justin Trudeau dishes with Liberal MP on where he went wrong, what he did right and why he’s the one to beat Pierre Poilievre
OTTAWA—Under siege in the polls but fighting for a shot at a fourth term, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to a backbench MP’s podcast to riff on why he thinks he deserves it.
In a nearly hour-long interview recorded Friday and published Tuesday, Trudeau gave more revealing answers to fellow political traveller Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith than he has to any journalist in months.
The prime minister conceded a few mistakes. But only a few. And he expressed little regret.
I think an intervention may be called for.
A 35-year-old man has been arrested after a 14-year-old girl was left with potentially life-changing injuries in a suspected acid attack in central London.
The Metropolitan Police says it has arrested a 35-year-old man on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm in relation to the incident on Monday afternoon.
Lots of unknowns.
The odds are pretty good that if you’re reading this right now, you live in a part of the world that once belonged to mammoths. The woolly mammoth ranged over vast areas of the northern hemisphere, from the Arctic Circle to Spain and from Europe across Asia and into the Americas. A cold-adapted animal, the mammoth nevertheless survived for millions of years despite the coming and going of warming periods between ice ages. When the temperature warmed and the steppe gave way to forests, mammoths would retreat to colder areas and their numbers would shrink. When the ice came back, the sovereigns of the north would reclaim their rightful place.
Anti-Muslim hate in US rises since 7 October but advocates praise community resilience
Arafat Issa hangs Palestinian flags across a pedestrian bridge in Durham, North Carolina, almost every week. But on 28 July, a man in a baseball cap pulled out a knife and cut the flags down from the steel railing. Issa says the man cursed at him and his family before waving the knife in their direction. They had two small children, including Issa’s four-month-old daughter, with them.
“He told us: go back where you came from,” Issa says. “I was scared … it’s not like we were doing anything wrong. We were peacefully protesting.”
Issa is a 42-year-old Palestinian American barber who has lived in North Carolina for more than a decade. His parents and siblings are in the West Bank, where settler violence against Palestinians is escalating. His experience is one of many examples of anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim hate documented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) since 7 October of last year. “We are seeing an uptick in violent vigilante response to peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters,” said Nicole Fauster-Bradford, a community advocacy director at Cair.
