A silver tsunami is headed for Canada with all baby boomers set to hit retirement age by 2030, with far-reaching implications for Canada’s economy and labour market, a new RBC report says.
The RBC report comes as Statistics Canada said in a separate report Wednesday that Canada’s fertility rate reached record lows in 2024.
What if I told you that cartels and other bad actors from around the world conspired to undermine the integrity of the health care system in the U.S. and came way too close to succeeding? If you didn’t hear about the bust of 324 people; the U.S.-based cartel shell medical supply companies; the pill mills pushing opioids; the doctors on the take; or how law enforcement captured many of the bad guys at the U.S. border and airports as they rushed to escape, that’s understandable. The feds revealed this potential $14.6 billion “depth charge” planted inside the Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance programs in June, while most people were away on summer vacation.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has signed new agreements on trade and defence cooperation with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Parliament Hill.
The trade deal is comprehensive, meaning it opens up trade in multiple industries with the world’s fourth most populous country.
Carney said the “game-changing” agreement is the first-ever bilateral trade pact signed with a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
Antifa cells in America actively receive funding from an international antifascist network working to establish chapters around the world, though their financial ties might soon be severed, as U.S. national security officials are reportedly moving toward a foreign terrorism classification for antifa abroad.
Antifa International, an antifascist cohort helping far-left militants connect to local antifa cells or operate their own, is one of the international networks providing material support to antifa operatives in the U.S. by way of its bail fund.
The federal Liberals will finally start buying back guns with a pilot program in Cape Breton, N.S. — about as far from Alberta as they can get without leaving Canada.
They might fear a range war when this fiasco finally moves west.
A broken teleprompter and stairs that don’t work.
We already know he doesn’t need much to mock people he doesn’t like. A video is circulating online showing Macron in New York, frustrated because the police had blocked the streets. In an unusual scene, an officer apologizes to the French president and explains that the blockade is due to the imminent passage of the presidential motorcade, which includes a dozen vehicles, police on bicycles, and the president’s car, The Beast. Macron uses his French humor (assuming such a thing exists) and tries to bribe the officer: “If you don’t see it, let me cross. I negotiate with you.” He is about as successful as when he tries to convince the French to vote for him.
Mark Carney is no doubt aware that when he uses the word “rupture” about Canada-U.S. relations, it grates on the nerves of some in Donald Trump’s circle.
So it was interesting to see the prime minister doubling down on the rupture language in his numerous appearances at the United Nations this week. Now Carney is even using it to say how Canada will use the disruption with the U.S. to its advantage.
“In every moment where there’s a crack, where there’s a rupture, there is possibility,” Carney said at a news conference in New York on Tuesday evening.
I guess we’ll all have to get used to being poorer now. Not Carney of course.
Two Arkansas sisters are begging for money after they were caught on camera trashing a Charlie Kirk memorial and got canned from their jobs.
Kerri, 23, and Kaylee Rollo, 22, set up a GoFundMe seeking $18,000 to cover legal fees last week after they were arrested days earlier for allegedly vandalizing a Kirk memorial of candles and signs on the Benton County Courthouse steps for the assassinated Turning Point USA founder.
At the end of a busy day at the United Nations on Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney was asked by a reporter how he could still have confidence in Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, who has been staggered this week by the release of a recorded conversation in which he casts some doubt on the government’s buyback program for “assault-style” firearms.
“Let’s first put this in context, which is that we’re talking about fulfilling a campaign promise. We ran on this first and foremost. Secondly, we’re talking about taking guns off the street in a voluntary fashion,” he said.
My bet is Carney will keep the DEI hire on, ethnic vote whoring is in the DNA of the LPC.
Any attempt by Israel to annex parts of the West Bank would be a red line for the US – and would represent the end of Arab-Israeli diplomatic normalisation, Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday, claiming that he had been given that assurance by Donald Trump.
Macron also revealed that he had presented the US leader with a three-page plan on the future of Palestine, based on the New York Declaration, the document endorsed by more than 143 states that proposes to exclude Hamas from future rule in Gaza and the West Bank.
Speaking on France 24, Macron said the aim of his meeting with Trump on Tuesday had been to get America, Europe and the Arab states on the same page.
Who do I believe less? Macron or the Guardian?
A school teacher testifying in court Wednesday described the harrowing scene when one of her Grade 2 students began to strangle himself with a piece of carpet — to the point that his face turned purple.
“I was terrified for him. I actually thought he wanted to kill himself,” Sara Biasetti told the ongoing trial of Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney, the prospective parents of the boy and the older brother they’re accused of murdering.
Donald Trump has replaced a portrait of Joe Biden in the White House with a picture of an autopen.
The US president has displayed a picture of the device, which is used for replicating signatures, where a photo of Mr Biden should be on his new “presidential walk of fame”, which features portraits of all former US leaders.
President Donald Trump’s recent threat to declare Antifa a terrorist organization is a reasonable and helpful response to the contemporary problem of disorder and excessive violence in urban America.
Antifa was founded in 2007 in Portland, Oregon, and is a decentralized group of urban associations sharing the name that is a contraction of the expression anti-fascist. It is an anarchistic and particularly anti-capitalist movement that expressly favours violence, though sometimes confines itself to non-violent but obstructive demonstrations. It has had recourse to violence on countless occasions and is never apologetic for it. Its members appear in partially ninja-like outfits that conceal their faces and make it impossible to identify them.
Italy has sent a navy frigate to assist a flotilla of pro-Palestinian activists including Greta Thunberg, the Swedish campaigner, after the vessels were attacked overnight by drones.
The group of more than 50 vessels trying to deliver aid to Gaza was targeted in waters near Crete by drones that dropped explosives, damaging boats, as well as grenades containing irritant gas.
… An Italian MP on board one vessel also said ship radios were jammed and suddenly started playing Abba songs at top volume.
When Perry MacDonald heard that Canadian author Robert Munsch had requested Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) after his diagnoses with dementia and Parkinson’s disease, it touched a nerve.
Munsch recently explained to the New York Times that, under Canadian law, recipients of MAID must be able to actively consent on the day of their death. “I have to pick the moment when I can still ask for it,” he said. If he waited too long, he added, talking to his wife, “you’re stuck with me being a lump.”
