Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his administration was directing the Department of Justice to investigate major meat-packing companies for allegedly driving up beef prices through collusion and price manipulation. The move — unsurprisingly — generated headlines, applause from ranchers, and skepticism from economists. Still, it raises an uncomfortable question north of the border: why hasn’t Canada done the same?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is cosplaying as president again, jetting off to Belém, Brazil, for the UN COP30 climate summit, where he signed a deal Tuesday with Nigeria to “fight pollution.” How that helps solve the homelessness, crime, and affordability crises in the Golden State is anyone’s guess, and one can’t help but wonder if his negotiations touched on the ongoing killing of Christians in the African country.
But what’s going on in his own state of California? Turns out the one-party cabal has been handing out commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens like they’re candy.
Being raised in Canada taught me two enduring lessons: To care for the environment, and to contribute meaningfully to public life.
That’s why in 2023, when an unexpected call from the White House came in, I stepped forward. I was appointed by president Joe Biden, and within months began work on the historic American Climate Corps program.
In his first budget, Prime Minister Mark Carney has proposed a similar climate corps for Canada – a bold, consequential, nation-building program with deep roots and a rich legacy dating back nearly 100 years. This is exactly the kind of generational investment that young people need.
Sounds like a job application.

One question that must be asked of NDP leadership aspirants: how do you respond to members and supporters who are bent on curbing freedom of speech in order to advance their social justice causes?

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) once fancied itself the gold standard of journalism — the global voice of calm reason in a noisy world. “Nation shall speak peace unto nation,” its motto declared. But these days, it seems the BBC prefers to funnel deceit into living rooms. What was once a proud symbol of objectivity has morphed into a state-funded sermon of sanctimony, dripping with bias, and dressed up as “public service.”
Sub CBC same same different.
The New York City Police Department has to be feeling cursed these days. Having barely recovered from the dark years of Bill de Blasio and still emerging from the chaos of the Eric Adams era, the NYPD now faces the daunting prospect of reporting to democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani. But don’t bet against the men and women in blue. They are remarkably resilient—and they may have a secret weapon in their experienced and savvy commissioner, Jessica Tisch.
What happens when a political leader is both deeply admired and deeply disliked? As Parliament breaks for the week, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and his team may get a brief pause from the daily political grind, but the core of his public image is already well defined. He inspires intense loyalty among his supporters and equally intense opposition from his critics. It’s a divide that’s become impossible to ignore in the past week.
More than 150 illegal migrant sexual predators have been nabbed in Florida as part of a massive sweep dubbed “Operation Dirtbag,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed on Wednesday.
The sex offenders were among more than 230 illegals rounded up in the Sunshine State after being wanted for crimes including drug offenses and even murder.
Durham police say a 28-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly breaking into multiple homes and sexually assaulting women in Oshawa earlier this week.
According to a news release, officials says officers were called to the Simcoe Street South and Royal Street area at around 4:20 p.m. on Nov. 11 after reports that a man had entered several residences and “exposed himself” to residents.
Investigators say the suspect first entered one home and exposed himself before being startled by a dog and fleeing.
China’s leaders were anxious and frustrated. The world’s most promising new technology was being dominated by OpenAI, Google and other American companies.
Chinese tech companies were so far behind on generative artificial intelligence early last year that many were relying on Meta Platforms’ open-source Llama models, which can be downloaded for free. Worse, U.S. restrictions on exports of top-end AI chips threatened to hobble China even further.
So in the spring of 2024, Beijing ratcheted up pressure on tech executives. One leading Chinese AI company told The Wall Street Journal it fielded calls from 10 different government agencies in a single month urging action on native AI models. The country relaxed regulations, rolled out funding and rushed to install computing power.
Judge acquits Toronto teen who stabbed unarmed 18-year-old, mocked his death
During a fight between two groups in a North York parking lot in the early morning hours of July 8, 2022, a teenage boy swung at an unarmed man with a bottle, fatally stabbed him, and then later sent messages to the victim’s friend appearing to mock his death.
Three years later, a judge has acquitted him of manslaughter.
Welcome to the fourth installment of my “Tracking China in the Americas” series, in which I cover some underreported stories on China’s footprint in the Western Hemisphere. I actually had something different planned for this week — a deep dive into how China is reaching out to young people in the Western Hemisphere — but when I saw this bridge fall, I knew I had to switch gears. Anything to point out what China does wrong should spread far and wide. So, check back in next week for the young people stuff. Let’s get to the Hongqi Bridge.
China’s engineering marvel
Nov 11: the Hongqi Bridge (红旗大桥) at the Shuangjiangkou Hydropower Station (双江口水电站) in Barkam (马尔康市), Aba (or Ngawa) Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture (阿坝藏族羌族自治州), Sichuan province, collapsed after 4pm local time,… pic.twitter.com/dgL2y6fexF

Many Canadians continue to boycott travel to the United States, and the U.S. economy is paying the price.
A U.S. Travel Association report forecasts a 3.2 per cent decline in international tourism spending in the country for 2025, a loss of $5.7 billion US compared to the previous year.
The association largely attributes the loss to a decline in the number of Canadian visitors — a trend that has persisted since U.S. President Donald Trump returned to office in January, sparked a trade war with Canada and began referring to the country as the 51st state.
Lots of reasons to be angry with Trump & his policies but your anger should not be exclusive to the US.
Canada’s corporate and political class have beat us like a pinata for so long we’ve come to enjoy it.
Reserve a large dose of vitriol for the “ruling class”.
