Journalism takes you to some strange places. Alas, to date in my career, I have yet to be asked to review a luxury hotel or a Michelin-starred restaurant. Instead, my lot is to probe the creeps and the criminals, the dregs and the drag queens. Today’s specimen, the convicted child rapist and popular drag queen, Darren Moore (full name Darren Haydn Meah-Moore), ticks every box.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution against President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods, delivering a stinging rebuke to the administration for launching a trade war on its northern neighbour.
The House voted 219-211 in favour of a resolution seeking to terminate the national emergency that Trump invoked in February 2025 to empower his tariffs on a range of imports from Canada.
Six Republicans defied the White House and joined the Democrats in voting for the measure.
Trump warns GOP lawmakers they will ‘suffer’ serious consequences if they vote to end Canada tariffs
The warning occurred shortly before six House Republicans voted with Democrats to end the tariffs in a 219-211 split, but the vote is largely considered symbolic because Trump is expected to veto it, which would then require a two-thirds majority in both chambers to overturn.
What do you call a former two-term president of the United States and his wife, a former first lady, secretary of state and nominee for president? In the Democratic Party, you call them baggage.
After years of scandal, former President Bill Clinton is caught up in the Jeffrey Epstein revelations. Last August, the House Committee on Government Reform sent Clinton a subpoena based on his travel on Epstein’s airplane, on alleged contact with Epstein’s victims and on his alleged closeness with Ghislaine Maxwell. At the same time, the committee sent a subpoena to failed 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, basically asking for what she knew about Epstein via her husband.
Young offenders, Hells Angels and rogue shipping company owners are all part of a highly organized auto-theft ecosystem that stole 46,999 vehicles in Canada last year and cost Canadians $900 million in insurance costs, the Équité Association insurance industry group says.
“It’s definitely organized,” said Bryan Gast, national vice-president, intelligence and investigations at Équité Association, in an interview as the association announced its annual report on auto theft in Canada.
There were 19,319 vehicles taken in Ontario, with trucks, sport utility vehicles and high-end vehicles, such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis, being the most popular with thieves, Gast said.
A teenage boy suspected of stabbing two pupils at a school in north London was arrested after he was seen inside a mosque, police have said.

Tumbler Ridge will never be the same.
As a small town of less than 2500 people, places like the local high school are a daily gathering place for a community in which everyone knows each other. Both teachers and parents can see the future on the faces of their students and children.

Perhaps this article is nothing more than the result of advanced algorithms feeding me a steady diet of sensationalist news and viral videos about automation and technological progress. Or perhaps we really are standing on the edge of a full-blown robotics revolution.
Before dismissing that admittedly dramatic headline, consider how quickly the artificial intelligence revolution took hold. OpenAI’s ChatGPT was released to the public only three years ago. In that short time, AI has gone from novelty to necessity, embedded in nearly every major institution, industry, and facet of modern life.
No, the headline above was not crafted by a writer for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
If a staff member came into the story meeting with a premise like that, they would undoubtedly be laughed out of the room.
President Donald Trump is taking an important page from World War II’s Manhattan Project, when the United States raced to secure supplies of the rare element uranium needed to create the war-winning atomic bomb. When strategic amounts of the element were found in Africa, deep in mines in the Belgian Congo, a “cover” entity called the Combined Development Trust was created by the U.S. to purchase all supplies and thereby deny Nazi Germany access to the coveted uranium.
The 21st Century has changed the concept of the types and amounts of strategic minerals that will be required to protect the nation’s future –and few recognize that need more acutely than Trump.
A British Columbia judge has knocked a year off the prison sentence for a Métis-Cree woman who sexually assaulted a teen less than half her age after sending the boy “sexualized photographs” of herself “in states of undress, as well as pictures of her breasts and vagina.”
Despite his position as a Hollywood elite, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel likes to think of himself as a man of the people who cares for the little guy, but on his Tuesday show, Kimmel made the strange claim that illegal immigrants are “raising your children.”
I bet it’s true in his circles, the same circles that treat tranny kids as statement children.
Toronto mass killer Alek Minassian is appealing his 10 murder convictions — and is banking on new controversy over a key Crown witness to deliver him a new trial.
How enraging that would be if that’s enough to thrust this merciless killer back into the courts.
More than thirty years after Kurt Cobain’s body was found in his Seattle home, a team of forensic experts is saying what many fans have suspected all along: the Nirvana frontman didn’t kill himself. He was murdered.
