If Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking for ways to save money, he can start by shooting fish in a barrel: He can scrap the gun confiscation program that law enforcement leaders and academic experts say won’t work.
Carney’s government says it’s working super hard on a spending review. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told the rest of cabinet to come up with “ambitious savings proposals” to control government outlay.
Another migrant living at a controversial asylum hotel in Essex has been charged with a series of offences, including sexual assault.
Mohammed Sharwarq, a Syrian national living at The Bell Hotel in Epping, faces seven charges linked to offences alleged to have been committed between July 25 and August 12.
In any other context, the buying and selling of children would be rightly reviled. Yet when it comes to commercial surrogacy, many turn a blind eye.
To be clear, babies are certainly worth celebrating — especially in an increasingly selfish society that depicts parenthood as a form of punishment. But not all methods of conception are created equal.
Canada’s federal prison system now employs more staff than it houses inmates, according to newly released Correctional Service figures, raising fresh concerns about the soaring cost of the country’s penal system.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Correctional Service Canada (CSC) reported having more than 20,000 employees, compared to 14,837 inmates held across 43 federal penitentiaries. Another 8,717 individuals are currently on parole in the community. The system operates with a $3.9 billion annual budget.

Donald Trump has warned Vladimir Putin there would be “severe consequences” if he did not agree to end his war on Ukraine at their summit in Alaska on Friday.
The US president revealed on Wednesday his intention to seek an immediate second meeting with Putin, this time involving Volodymyr Zelensky, after their one-on-one talks in Alaska.
Mr Trump said: “If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one. I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they’d like to have me there.”

The Conservatives want to change the Criminal Code to eliminate what they say is a double standard in the justice system that allows non-citizens to get lighter sentences than Canadians who have been convicted of the same crime.
“When it comes to sentencing non-citizens, Canada has essentially adopted a form of two-tier justice,” Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said Wednesday in Ottawa.
“This offends all principles of fairness that should be foundational to our justice system.”

Economists are urging the government to factor in the estimated 500,000 undocumented residents in Canada as it consults on its forthcoming immigration levels plan.
Immigration Minister Lena Diab is consulting on targets for the number of temporary and permanent residents Canada plans to allow in the next three years, in what some consider a litmus test of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s position on immigration.
The immigration levels are annually presented in October or November to help planning for housing, schools, health care and infrastructure.
First erect walls encircling the city then ship them all to Ottawa.
Farking lying bastards.
Numbers update.
Immigration levels in first third of the year outpaced @MarkJCarney promised cap on quotas.
Figures released by @CitImmCanada for first 120 days set a pace that would see nearly 400,000 new landed immigrants in 2025.https://t.co/oiom76oPHa@LenaMetlegeDiab… pic.twitter.com/pk3nltzwcY— Holly Doan (@hollyanndoan) August 13, 2025
From Torontology – When did everyone in the GTA turn Indian?
“So I just came back to Canada after being out of the country for a couple years, an after searching for a few months I landed a forklift warehouse job in the GTA, paying about $23/hour.
Whole crew? Indian.
Managers? Indian.
I was literally the only non-Indian guy there.
They all speaking Punjabi or Hindi or something the whole time I didn’t understand a thing
The lunchroom absolutely smelled like ass I couldn’t even my meal in there so I went and ate it in my car.
Then after my shift I hit McDonald’s to grab a drink… same thing. Staff, customers everyone there was Indian too.
Not tryna be rude or weird or nothing, I was just shook. Like when did this happen?? Was there some big immigration wave recently or is this just how it’s been in Ontario now?
Genuinely curious haven’t been around in a few years and it feels like the GTA changed heavy. What the fuck happened?”

In April, comedian Jena Friedman had a strange encounter in Vancouver airport. She had just performed a Ted talk about the future of comedy and was heading home to the US, when someone she thought worked for airport security quizzed her about her visit.
Thinking he was probing for visa infringements, “I just said I was doing comedy. Then he asked: ‘What do you joke about?’ Stupidly, I lightly flirted with him, and was like: ‘Everything other than airport security!’ He didn’t react at all. Then I realised he was US border control. He asked again: ‘What do you joke about?’”
Friedman is a veteran of The Daily Show and The Late Show, and her standup comedy often features excoriating routines at the expense of the political establishment. “I just froze because I am a political comedian and I didn’t know what to say. Then he said: ‘Do you joke about politicians?’”
Comedians so lame they make up psychodramas.
BERKELEY, Calif.—Tsvi Benson-Tilsen, a mathematician, spent seven years researching how to keep an advanced form of artificial intelligence from destroying humanity before he concluded that stopping it wasn’t possible—at least anytime soon.
Now, he’s turned his considerable brainpower to promoting cutting-edge technology to create smarter humans who will be up to the task of saving us all.
“My intuition is it’s one of our best hopes,” said Benson-Tilsen, co-founder of the Berkeley Genomics Project, a nonprofit supporting the new field.
This isn’t science fiction. It is Silicon Valley, where interest in breeding smarter babies is peaking.
John Van de Brook went online recently to search for the constituency office address of his local MP, Nepean Liberal Mark Carney. There’s been a recent rat infestation in Barrhaven, and, while he had already reached out to the office of his municipal councillor, Van de Brook thought he might as well cover all the bases. After all, it wasn’t so many months ago that his then-MP, Chandra Arya, helped solve a problem that Van de Brook’s wife was having with her permanent resident card. Who knows, he figured, maybe Carney could help with this?
Alas, Van de Brook couldn’t locate Carney’s office because, well, there isn’t one.
