With John Tory Out, Bradford is statistically tied with Chow in Toronto Mayoral Election

For the better part of a year, Toronto politics has been suspended in a kind of waiting game.

Would John Tory try to come back? Would he test whether voters were willing to give him another shot? That question is now settled. He announced yesterday that is not running in October 2026.

With that uncertainty gone, the mayoral race snaps into clearer focus. What looked like a potentially crowded contest now looks increasingly like a head-to-head between Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford. And based on polling we conducted in late January as part of our Toronto Omnibus survey, I see a competitive race that Bradford can win.

London Police: One Rape Reported Every 60 Minutes

London, England

UK officials’ fear of being labeled racist or “Islamophobic” has allowed rape gangs—mainly composed of Pakistani-heritage men—to operate with near-impunity.

A total of 746 rapes were recorded in London in January, according to publicly available crime data from the Metropolitan Police Service.

The figures mean that, on average, one rape was reported roughly every 60 minutes in the British capital during the first month of the year.

A Canadian medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are, in fact, fiction

A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer: The cases described are fictional.

Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society, has published the cases since 2000 in articles for a series for its Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. The articles usually start with a case description followed by “learning points” that include statistics, clinical observations and data from CPSP. The peer-reviewed articles don’t state anywhere the cases described are fictional.

CHARLEBOIS: Why the Iran conflict could hit Canadian grocery bills

U.S. President Donald Trump seems to prefer launching major geopolitical moves when markets are closed – for a simple reason: markets react.

The United States abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3 – a Saturday. The joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began Feb. 28 – also a Saturday. It gave markets time to digest the shock. But markets eventually reopen.

Decades in the planning, the Islamic Republic of Britain

IN A recent speech given in the House of Lords to the Cambridge University Conservative Association, Dr Gavin Ashenden, for ten years a chaplain to the Queen, spoke of a ‘respected’ imam with whom he had worked ‘for quite a long time’ while running inter-faith seminars at the university where he was employed.

At the conclusion of one of these events, Dr Ashenden relates, this man confided in him as follows: ‘I’ve been doing this for an awfully long time, but my task is complete. I arrived in the 1970s with the aim of inaugurating an Islamic republic of Great Britain, and I’ve done it. This country is going to be an Islamic republic or, at least, a partitioned portion of it, in the time of my grandchildren.’

Peter Shurman: We can dislike Trump, but that shouldn’t define us

Let’s begin with a blunt question: Does Donald Trump hate Canada?

There is no evidence that he does. During his presidency, he did not sever diplomatic ties, cancel trade outright or threaten military action. What he did do, repeatedly and unapologetically, was put American interests first. He drove a hard bargain in trade negotiations, imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, pressured NATO allies (including Canada) to increase defence spending and used language that many Canadians found abrasive, even offensive.

Muslim mothers barred from volunteering at Quebec schools over hijabs

Two Muslim mothers in Quebec say they have been told they can no longer volunteer at their children’s elementary schools because they wear hijabs.

Sabaah Khan, a resident of Brossard, says she has spent more than a decade volunteering at her children’s schools, helping with activities ranging from library duties to vaccination days.

Christians barred from living over being alive!

Feminists for Killing Feminists

American feminist organizations rally to help Iran keep killing women.

While tens of thousands of protesters were being killed in Iran, many of them authentic feminists, young women demanding equal rights and freedom from the oppressive compulsory ‘hijab’, the Women’s March remained silent. So did the National Organization for Women.

The Women’s March stayed quiet as young women in Iran were gang raped by masked men at gunpoint, much as it had remained quiet during the rapes by Iran’s Hamas allies on Oct 7.

What we’ve lost: Stigma

It turns out that population-wide disdain for those who live to get high was a very good thing

Progressives were so preoccupied with eradicating stigmas that contain anti-social behaviour in Canadian society, they didn’t stop to think if they should. Well, they accomplished their goal: that natural containment field of shame that once stood between people and bad decisions is gone. Is your life better because of it? Probably not.

Top cleric issues fatwa calling on all Muslims to avenge ‘blood of the martyr’ Khamenei prompting fears of sleeper cell and lone wolf attacks across the globe

Waiting to be vaporized

A top Iranian cleric has issued a fatwa calling for Muslims to avenge the ‘blood of the martyr’ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Following the death of the Supreme Leader on Saturday, Iranian religious leader Nasser Makarem Shirazi delivered a formal religious decree that claimed all Muslims were obliged to avenge him.

Shirazi stated that the US and Israel were the ‘main perpetrators of this crime.’

I’m sure there’s a cruise missile with his name on it.
