When I was 12, I got a Swatch watch, my grandma made a pot roast for dinner, and I was pretty happy.

I’ll caution the reader that what comes below isn’t fully serious. It’s about 71.7 percent serious.
Maybe a little more. Or less.

A Toronto Police constable has been suspended following an arrest by Peel Regional Police on charges of assault and sexual assault.
“Farhan Ali, 39, has been arrested and charged” with “three counts of sexual assault, three counts of assault and four counts of mischief,” Peel cops said.
Being a sex fiend is actually a muslim religious thing.
In his first major sit-down from behind bars, the disgraced mogul fumes about life at Rikers (“I’m dying here”), his wrecked legacy and his delusions about the future (“I will be proven innocent. That I promise you”).
The day before I was to meet Harvey Weinstein, a blizzard dumped a foot of snow on New York, grinding the city to a halt. It seemed like an omen. Waking in my hotel the next morning, I half hoped that Rikers would be closed as well. Then my phone buzzed with a terse email from a prison administrator: “We’re on!” it said.
So, I called an Uber and nervously set off with a cameraman and a trunk full of recording equipment for the short voyage to Rikers, the notorious island facility in Queens where Weinstein has been incarcerated for much of the past six years.
Doug Ford raises concerns about ‘sleeper cells’ in wake of U.S. Consulate shooting
Premier Doug Ford says that the shooting of the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto is “absolutely unacceptable” and he is warning those responsible will “face the full extent of the law.”
Ford made the comment to reporters at Queen’s Park on Tuesday morning, hours after two suspects reportedly exited an SUV on University Avenue and proceeded to discharge at least one firearm at the exterior of the consulate building.
Oh.
Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario, says that Islamic "sleeper cells" are active in Canada.

A company with Canadian directors has operated a lucrative pearl farm in Myanmar together with a state-owned enterprise that has direct ties to the country’s murderous military regime, according to corporate and government records obtained by CBC News.
The company, Belpearl, operates through a network of related entities registered in Toronto, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and Myanmar. One of those entities, Belpearl Myanmar, operates a pearl farm with two adjacent locations in the country.
Pearls have not yet seen their value drop as diamonds have thanks to the increasing market for man made stones.
Over the course of 48 hours, the strategic architecture of the Middle East shifted with a speed few could have anticipated. A coordinated Israeli-American operation, prepared in secrecy and executed with surgical exactitude, began by striking key command nodes of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including senior leadership figures, nuclear enrichment infrastructure and long-range missile facilities — and culminated in eliminating Iran’s Supreme Guide Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Department of National Defence says it has safeguards in place to prevent intelligence from being shared with elements of the U.S. military that have carried out numerous lethal strikes on small boats in the Caribbean.
In a statement to CBC News, the department said that intelligence gathered during Operation Caribbe is “restricted” to the joint interagency task force running the operation and its partners, and is “caveated to not share with any elements of Operation Southern Spear.”
Elon Musk’s X said it had suspended 800m accounts over a 12-month period as it fights the “massive” scale of attempts to manipulate the platform.
The social media company told MPs it was continually fighting state-backed attempts to hijack the agenda on its network, with Russia the most prolific state actor, followed by Iran and China.
As part of the battle against such content, X suspended 800m accounts in 2024 for breaching its rules on platform manipulation and spam, although it did not reveal which of those suspensions related to foreign interference. X has approximately 300 million monthly users worldwide.
U.S. President Donald Trump referred to Prime Minister Mark Carney as the “future Governor of Canada” in a Truth Social post on Tuesday.
Trump’s post was in reference to working with U.S. governors to “save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp.”

For Lisa Mcbean, buying American-made snacks and traveling to the U.S. was second nature. That changed for the Ontario resident starting in early 2025.
Since then, the 54-year-old has checked if products are made in Canada before buying at the grocery store. Mcbean canceled multiple trips to the U.S. she had planned for concerts. Once-common jaunts across the border to shop are out of the picture.

The High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) on Monday ordered the city’s authorities to “immediately” begin creating a registry of conscientious objectors to abortions, following a years-long refusal by Madrid’s local government to comply with its creation.
Mark Carney repeatedly says he is prime minister of a new government, not simply a continuation of Justin Trudeau’s decade leading Liberals in power.
New polling from the Pollara Strategic Insights firm suggests that more Canadians are buying the “new” title than those who don’t, especially among those who voted Liberal last year. Pollara shared the results exclusively with the Star before their wider release this week to coincide with Carney’s first anniversary in power.
