[1] Under mounting pressure and the U.S.-led “Roadmap to Peace,” Prime Minister Ariel Sharon reluctantly authorized the evictions. And Lebanon will bear the consequences,” said the prime minister at a press conference convened during a meeting with Japan’s prime minister. The Israeli air force severed Lebanon’s communications with the outside, bombing cell phone towers and power stations. With the international outcry over the civilian toll increasing and the hasty U.S.-led evacuation effort’s confusion, Olmert went “all in” with the Israeli Air Force.

The real reason the kiddos are balkingThe latest CREA stats confirmed local real estate board numbers – at least for major urban centres – that it’s a mess.

BEIJING — As Prime Minister Mark Carney meets President Xi Jinping Friday in Beijing, few industries will be watching as intently as Canada’s canola producers and electric vehicle manufacturers. Same for Canadian pork and seafood workers, who are dealing with 25 per cent tariffs. On Thursday in Beijing, Carney ushered in a “new era” in the Sino-Canadian relationship, describing China as a strategic partner and saying Canada is “heartened” by Xi Jinping’s leadership. For many, the mark of success for this trip will be seeing if Carney manages to draw concessions from the Asian economic behemoth, namely on canola tariffs. One need not look farther than last August when China unveiled the 75.8 per cent tariffs on Canadian canola seed.

Lowertown residents gathered along King Edward Avenue this week for what they call a “speed gun party" — an effort to prove that a speed camera that was removed from this intersection was effective at slowing drivers.

A group of Lowertown residents and other advocates came together for a 'speed gun party' along King Edward Avenue on Thursday afternoon. In 2024, the speed camera on King Edward Avenue led the city with 59,656 violations, or an average of 163 per day.

A Jewish advocacy group says there have been 32 reported antisemitic incidents in Canada this past week alone and is asking Prime Minister Mark Carney to act urgently. “That is a warning signal, and it demands more than piecemeal reactions,” B’nai Brith wrote in a post on X on Wednesday, about the number of incidents this past week. The group pointed to the targeted terror attack on Australia’s Jewish community at Bondi Beach on Dec. 14, when 15 people were murdered. A spokesperson for Carney’s office told National Post in an emailed statement that the letter from B’nai Brith had been received. “Antisemitism is accelerating,” B’nai Brith said on X.

The youngest age group (18 to 24) was split with 43 per cent saying yes and 37 per cent saying no, which was almost identical to those aged 25 to 34. “The poll reveals that many Canadians express interest in obtaining dual citizenship, particularly younger Canadians. want dual citizenships the most, and those in Atlantic provinces the least, the poll found. Despite the high percentage of Canadian residents wanting dual citizenships for themselves, nearly a third were suspicious of divided loyalties by those with dual citizenships. Perhaps intuitively, a majority of those who said they would like to hold dual citizenships are the least likely to think dual citizens are less loyal to Canada.

A former CBC human resources employee is suing the national broadcaster claiming he was forced to leave a work environment so toxic and discriminatory there was a designated “crying room” so employees could deal with office stress. A CBC human resource staff member laughed and told him the office was the “crying room” where employees would go to cry to help cope with workplace stress, he says in his statement of claim. “I think this case exposes the very concerning toxic work culture within our national broadcaster. “It really demonstrates that there’s something very wrong and broken at CBC within their work environment that they need to fix.

OTTAWA — The federal government has lost its appeal on a ruling by the Federal Court that found the invocation of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy Protests was unjustified. In the 178-page decision released on Friday, Chief Justice de Montigny said he was dismissing all the appeals against the lower court’s decision. The appeal decision follows a ruling by the Federal Court in 2024 that the invocation of the act in response to the protests was unreasonable, unjustified, and violated Charter rights. Following the decision, then deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland vowed her government would appeal the ruling. The Federal Court’s ruling stemmed from legal challenges brought on by Canadian civil liberties organizations, including the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), who argued the federal government went beyond its powers.

OTTAWA — Federal Court of Appeal Chief Justice de Montigny is expected to deliver a decision Friday on the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests. The appeal decision follows a ruling by the Federal Court in 2024 that the invocation of the act in response to the protests was unreasonable, unjustified, and violated Charter rights. The Federal Court’s ruling stemmed from legal challenges brought on by Canadian civil liberties organizations, including the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), who argued the federal government went beyond its powers. While the Federal Court opposed the use of the act, the Public Order Emergency Commission, a public inquiry into the government’s use of emergency powers, ruled the act’s use was justified in 2023. “The case is one of the most significant for civil liberties in modern Canadian history,” the CCF said in a statement in anticipation of Friday’s decision.
