Carney to waste $660 million on gender equality programs

OTTAWA — A new federal promise to spend more than $660 million on gender equality and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities — unveiled to great fanfare on Wednesday — still leaves a steep projected drop in funding in the coming years, as the Carney government previews “tough choices” ahead of its first budget next week.

At the same time, the government house leader said Wednesday that discussions continue with opposition parties, but it remains unclear how Prime Minister Mark Carney will pass the annual spending plan and avoid plunging Canada into its second federal election in less than a year.

‘My hopes are dashed’: Illegal Indian migrants deported by US speak to BBC

Several illegal Indian migrant workers who were recently deported from the US have recounted their ordeal to BBC Punjabi, describing humiliation, debt and shattered dreams.

At least 54 men, who had entered the US through the “donkey route” – often used by traffickers to facilitate illegal crossings – landed in the country’s capital Delhi on Sunday.

Aged between 25 and 40 years, all of them are from the northern state of Haryana and have since returned home, police said. The Indian government has not commented on their deportation.

We need a Trump.

Jesse Kline: Carney proves he wasn’t the man to take on Trump, after all

The latest spat between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump gives the impression that North America is being run by schoolchildren.

Trump often strikes me as an older, more powerful version of my kids. Like them, he has a habit of making things up and confidently stating them as fact; he’s prone to emotional outbursts whenever he doesn’t get his way; and he thinks he’s the best at just about everything.

Southport killer showed ‘leftwing extremist behaviour’

The Southport killer displayed “leftwing extremist behaviour” and questioned why the public had a “really bad vision of the Taliban”, the inquiry into his crimes has heard.

A social worker assessing Axel Rudakubana recorded “concerns in relation to Axel’s extreme thoughts around what’s going on in the world and politics” three years before his attack on a Taylor Swift dance class in July 2024, but did not share them with counter-terrorism police.

Billion-dollar government deals with Stellantis, NextStar for EV battery plant revealed

Confidential government deals worth billions of dollars to help fund a Stellantis-backed electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont., carry dozens of conditions that, if violated, give federal officials the power to end the agreements and even force repayment in some cases, according to copies obtained by CBC Windsor.

It is unclear, however, if the contracts contain guarantees related to the company’s broader footprint in Canada, as elected officials have claimed. Some portions of the documents are redacted, so the full terms of the agreements are unknown.

Stellantis exec sidesteps questions on whether gov’t deals included jobs guarantees

A Stellantis executive was grilled by MPs Wednesday over whether blockbuster subsidy deals reached with the federal government in recent years included guarantees to maintain Canadian auto jobs — as government officials have repeatedly said.

Speaking to a House of Commons committee, the former president for Stellantis Canada, Jeff Hines, sought to underscore the company’s commitment to the Canadian auto sector, but would not directly address whether protections for existing positions had been inked in past deals.

Disney dumps BBC Doctor Who deal after ‘woke’ rebrand falls flat

The only Dr Who series that had fans rooting for the Daleks

Disney has pulled out of its Doctor Who partnership with the BBC after just two series following what critics called the show’s “woke” rebrand.

The US streaming giant has confirmed it will not be involved in the next series of the sci-fi favourite following reports of lacklustre viewing figures.

The break-up means Doctor Who will not return to TV screens until Christmas 2026, with a special episode written by original showrunner Russell T Davies.
