As another cannabis retailer tries to save itself, is the industry going up in smoke?

Tokyo Smoke is the latest Canadian cannabis retailer to close some of its locations and seek creditor protection in an unpredictable industry grappling with too many stores, high overhead costs and ultra-low retail prices.

One of the earliest brands to form in Ontario after the federal legalization of pot in 2018, Tokyo Smoke is shuttering 29 stores and restructuring its business under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, it announced Thursday. It will still have 167 locations open across four provinces.

Trump insists there are signs Fidel Castro could be Justin Trudeau’s father in new book

Former President Donald Trump once again stokes rumors about Justin Trudeau in his new book by claiming that Fidel Castro could be the Canadian prime minister’s father.

Trump put the rumor in print, weeks after saying in a podcast interview that ‘they say he’s the son of Fidel Castro, and could be.’

Trump has also previously said Trudeau’s mother Margaret slept with all of the Rolling Stones, according to a former aide – a story Mick Jagger referenced in a tour stop in Canada, that Trump also stirs up in his book.

Kamala Harris’s New Arab Outreach Director Said ‘Zionists’ Are ‘Controlling’ American Politics

Kamala Harris’s newly appointed head of Arab-American outreach once accused Zionists of “controlling” American politics, echoing an anti-Semitic trope that suggests Jews nefariously manipulate global affairs.

“The Zionists have a strong voice in American politics,” Brenda Abdelall, an Egyptian-American lawyer and former Department of Homeland Security official, said in a 2002 interview with the New York Sun while attending the American Muslim Council’s annual convention. “I would say they’re controlling a lot of it.”

Massive lineup of employment seekers at Longo’s job fair

Hariharan Thirupal hopes the proverb is correct, and the early bird catches the worm.

Sudhi Govind Thekkeparambil Anil feels the same way.

The Conestoga College students arrived at the Doon Pioneer Park Community Centre at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, seven hours before a two-day in-person job fair to hire about 100 employees for Waterloo Region’s first Longo’s grocery store.

Trudeau is destroying your quality of life for future votes.

Poilievre says he would set immigration targets based on housing, jobs and health-care trends

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he would set Canada’s immigration targets based on housing, jobs and health-care data if his party forms government after the next election, accusing the Liberals of bringing in more immigrants than the country can absorb.

Mr. Poilievre spoke with reporters outside Parliament’s West Block Thursday, where he criticized this week’s “expensive” cabinet retreat in Halifax and called on NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to pull his support for the minority Liberal government and trigger a federal election.

Kamala’s First ‘Interview’ Was the Dumpster Fire You Expected It Would Be

Did you catch Kamala Harris’s first “interview” as the Democratic Party nominee for president? It was pretty much everything you’d expect from an interview conducted by CNN. Lots of softball questions, lots of word salad responses.

#Kamala has a brand new concept when it comes to setting deadlines. She plans on linking them to time.

Canadian Immigration Policy Isn’t Helping Anyone: BMO

Canada’s attempt to use immigration as stimulus might be backfiring. That was the message from a new BMO report, looking at the unusually high unemployment rate for recent immigrants. The labor market for recent immigrants is eroding much faster than it is for the rest of Canada—at a rate rarely seen outside of recession. The problem is this isn’t a recession, the aggressive population growth just isn’t doing anyone any favors.

Nando’s waitress hit with plate says police nearby did nothing

A Nando’s worker who was attacked by a customer has said that she feels “grossly let down” by the police after officers dining in the restaurant failed to take action against her attacker.

CCTV shows a man hitting the waitress with a plate as she set food on the table at the chain’s Stratford branch in east London on March 10.

The girl who was hit over the head with a plate by a man in Nando’s, abused by the man’s wife, explains how the @metpoliceuk ignored her multiple times, let the offenders leave on the day & only took it seriously when the video went viral months later.

Germany: Jewish Festival in Hamburg Cancelled Over Terrorism Fears

Organisers of the Grindelfest received no specific intelligence of an imminent threat but felt they had to cancel anyway after a spate of recent knife attacks in the country.

On Saturday, a failed Syrian asylum seeker attacked a street festival in the city of Solingen, killing three people and injuring eight others. He had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror group.

New report says people in their 20s now struggling the most with quality of life in Toronto

Toronto is a painfully exorbitant city to try and make a life in, and young people now are learning that lesson harder than generations past, facing “disproportionate challenges” than others, according to a new study.

The investigation, which comes from the Toronto Foundation, outlines how poorly the twenty-something age group, in particular, is faring in the city — especially when it comes to basic things like finding and affording housing in what can feel like an impossible market, feeding themselves, and establishing a sense of community and social connectedness.

Immigration Timeline of Toronto ISIS Terror Plot Suspects

The Egypt-born father and son accused of plotting a terrorist attack in Toronto on behalf of ISIS successfully passed through multiple immigration and security screening steps, a timeline of events released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) indicates.

The Epoch Times obtained the timeline from IRCC after it was provided to the House of Commons public safety committee on Aug. 28 for the testimony of Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc. The committee is studying the foiled alleged terrorist plot by the two men and seeks to understand how they were admitted to Canada.
