Toronto may have bitten off more than it can chew with city-run grocery plan: experts

TORONTO – On Thursday, Toronto city council voted to move forward with a concept rarely seen in Canada, and meant to tackle skyrocketing food prices: not-for-profit, city-run grocery stores.

But critics believe Toronto is biting off more than it can chew by stepping into the business, against grocery store giants, with little experience and minimal supply-chain connections, in an industry that has razor-thin profit margins.

The Beeb Wants Britain to Know They’ve Got a Dog Problem

There seems to be a concerted effort from certain sectors of the more elite strata of British society to tweak what they see happening around them that offends their more refined, educated, and virtuous sensibilities.

Rubio: NATO Alliance Unsustainable if It is Just America Protecting Europe

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the NATO alliance will have to be “re-examined” given the failure of European powers during the Iran conflict.

Speaking with the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera Media Network, Secretary Rubio expressed deep disappointment with the response of allies in Europe to the conflict in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz and suggested that America may be better off without NATO.

Kelly: Quebec’s music and language was MIA at the Junos

The Juno Awards ceremony on Sunday completely ignored Quebec, with the francophone album trophy handed out at an earlier gala, almost no Quebec artists performing (the only one was former Montrealer Allison Russell during the Joni Mitchell tribute), and the only person to utter a word in French was our prime minister.

The Junos are billed as “Canada’s Music Awards.” But based on Sunday night’s gala, that’s false advertising. These Junos apparently don’t include Quebec.

I don’t consider the Juno’s to be “Canadian”. The only talent required is to be a left wing crank.

At least 70 people killed and 30 injured in Haiti gang attack

At least 70 people have been killed and 30 injured during an attack in Haiti’s breadbasket Artibonite region, significantly more than official estimates, a human rights group has said.

Police initially reported 16 dead and 10 injured, while a preliminary report from civil protection authorities suggested 17 had died and 19 were wounded.

The Collective Defending Human Rights group, which reported the higher death toll, said the “massacre” on Sunday had forced nearly 6,000 people to flee their homes.

Carney says he’s ‘absolutely not’ considering proroguing Parliament

Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he is “absolutely not” considering proroguing Parliament if he were to secure a majority government.

“Absolutely not. It has never even entered my thinking, the possibility of that, so I couldn’t have been more surprised to see [the] suggestion that … was under consideration,” he said at an announcement in Wakefield, Que., surrounding the protection of land and waters on Tuesday.

Trump slams allies as Italy blocks U.S. use of air base for Iran war

ROME — As President Donald Trump amped up criticism of NATO countries for refusing to do more in the Iran war on Tuesday, European allies were doubling down on their resistance.

Italy in recent days denied landing rights to U.S. war planes seeking to land at Sigonella base in eastern Sicily after determining their flight plans were linked to the war effort, according to a senior Italian official.

That revelation — involving a nation led by a key Trump ally, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni — emerged a day after Spain said it had gone further in its direct opposition to the war, now refusing not only use of its bases, but also overflight rights to aircraft involved in the conflict, its defense minister said.

NATO ready to defend every inch of Arctic from Putin

Nato will defend Norway’s Arctic territory against a Russian invasion “from the first centimetre” after learning from Ukraine, the commander of the Norwegian army has said.

For decades, Nato’s plan for defending the High North from Russia was a fighting withdrawal from the northern Finnmark region by British Royal Marines and Norwegian troops, buying time until US reinforcements arrived to help retake lost territory.

Yet President Putin’s war has demonstrated how difficult it is for a large force to move forward under drone-saturated skies, and President Trump’s increasingly bellicose rhetoric against Nato has thrown American support into doubt.

WARMINGTON: Anti-Israel protesters were banned from a neighbourhood and came anyway

The banning of protests in a Jewish neighbourhood in North York proved to be easier said than done.

Toronto Police found out about that.

I’m not a lawyer nor do I play one on this blog but given Canada’s left leaning judiciary I doubt these restrictions would survive a court challenge.

Strait of Hormuz to be run by multinational coalition under White House plan

A multinational consortium will take over the management of the Strait of Hormuz under plans put forward by the Trump administration.

Diplomatic sources told The Telegraph that Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, presented the idea last week at a meeting of G7 foreign ministers.

Mr Rubio stressed there would be “no fees, and free circulation” through the key shipping route, according to one interpretation of his intervention.

Refugee tribunal ruled on more than 45,000 cases since 2019 without an in-person hearing

The independent tribunal that decides refugee claims has since 2019 ruled on more than 45,000 asylum cases based on paperwork alone without an in-person hearing, raising concerns from the Conservatives and experts that this could dilute scrutiny and compromise national security.

Figures provided to MPs on the Commons immigration committee by the Immigration and Refugee Board show that in that period, Iranian asylum claimants have had the most claims decided without an in-person hearing, with 10,730 claims decided based on paper reviews of their files.


An immediate halt to all refugee clams followed by mass deportation works for me.

A policewoman targeted by a barrage of misogynistic insults

“Filthy whore,” “dirty female dog,” “you’re my slave”: a Montreal police officer was subjected to extremely violent language while intervening with a motorist last summer. However, she had no legal means to silence the aggressive man.
