during the sketch show’s goodnights, Myers’ slogan tee — unveiled after he unzipped his vest — was accompanied by the actor mouthing “elbows up,” a reference to Canadian hockey icon Gordie Howe’s slogan toward aggressive opponents on the ice.

“Fascism doesn’t like to be ridiculed; it likes to be feared,” he concluded. “Satire is an important tool in the toolbox to say that this is not normal — that the cuts [Elmo]’s making are not normal.”

Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.

Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be

Schnetter and his friend Zach Prigger are both from Washington state, but said it's their first time in Canada. "As things keep progressing, it's like watching a trainwreck, you know?" Schnetter said of the U.S. president's actions. "Like, where, when is this going to end? When does this stop?

The warning to Singh, first reported by the Toronto Star, came nearly a year before former prime minister Justin Trudeau claimed Canada had evidence linking Indian agents to the killing of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Singh, who is also Sikh, told reporters the RCMP did not specify who was behind the death threat "but the implication was a foreign government."

Pierre Poilievre speaks with conviction. “We are Conservatives,” he says. “We don’t believe in big fat government programs. We don’t believe in giving money.”

At first, that might sound like ordinary political talk. But these words are more than slogans. They are signals. They draw lines between who is deserving of support, and who is not. Between who counts, and who is left behind.

This is not about fiscal restraint. It’s about stripping away the systems that many of us rely on to survive and thrive. It’s about making life harder for people navigating poverty, housing precarity, chronic illness, disability, single parenthood, systemic racism, colonial legacies, gender-based violence. And then telling them it’s their fault.

Poilievre received a government pension at the age of 31. Later, he tried to target other MPs over their pensions in a public stunt. The reality? His own pension is roughly three times larger, projected to be around $230,000 annually by the time he turns 65. That number will only grow if he becomes Prime Minister. Soon after securing his pension, he voted to raise the retirement age for others to 67. He speaks of independence and “the value of hard work,” but only applies those values to communities who’ve been denied fair access to opportunities for generations. In 2008, he questioned whether survivors of residential schools should receive compensation, arguing instead that Indigenous peoples just need to “work harder.” In 2023, he addressed a group that claimed the harms of residential schools were a “myth.”

This is not just a political position. It’s an erasure of truth. It’s a refusal to reckon with Canada’s history and its ongoing impacts.

A man is dead after being shot by Peel police at Toronto Pearson's Terminal 1 Thursday morning. 

The shooting happened shortly before 7 a.m. after police received a call from a member of the public about a dispute involving two or three people, Peel police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said. The group knew each other and was there "for the purposes of travel," he said. 

Three officers responded to the call. Police had been attempting to mediate the dispute for around 10 minutes when the man abruptly took out a firearm and pointed it at an officer, he said. 

The man was "in distress" and had been in an SUV at Terminal 1 departures, but the shooting happened outside the vehicle, the SIU said.

I'm just curious.

If you met this guy on the street, would you know who he is?

Please answer.

Publicly traded companies could have been forced to disclose how climate change would disrupt their business plans, but those efforts were recently brought to a halt by Canadian financial regulators.

This means that, for the foreseeable future, investors and the public will be armed with less information when determining whether these companies have a real plan to deal with the climate crisis — or are relying on environmentally disastrous business-as-usual scenarios.

The move is a win for some of Canada’s largest oil and gas companies that are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and have spent years fighting some of the transparency proposals financial regulators have put forward.

Duggan said the province doesn’t have a high enough vaccination rate to prevent measles from circulating - a rate that is ideally above 95 per cent. She said even in urban centres like Edmonton and Calgary the rate is only at around 70 per cent, and there are pockets of the province that are at 50 per cent or lower.

“(If) someone has been in a room who is infectious, that room is still infectious for two hours right after they leave. So even if you’re a mathematician and have no medical training, those numbers should frighten you,” said Duggan.

She noted that those who suffer most are children under the age of five.

"We are seeing an increase in immunizations for measles – for example, between the weeks of March 16 and April 13, 27,094 vaccines have been administered, an increase of almost 66 per cent from the previous time period last year."
