Doly Begum stated, 'After speaking with so many of you over the past few months, I actually decided to run federally because this is a crucial moment for Canada. I'm running to bring Scarborough Southwest's voice to Ottawa.'
We have a responsibility to ensure that public service is safe for everyone, and that includes calling out and condemning behaviour that seeks to silence or discourage women from participating in civic life.
We're meant to help people in an emergency, but what's changed is now people are in emergency every single month because the income they have is nowhere near covering the actual costs that it would take to live their life. Food banks were intended to bridge a gap only, but the organization says food insecurity continues to grow in the city.
New York is under foreign occupation. There's really no other way to put it. Does this administration have one single actual American in it? Sarsour, a hijabi woman and pro-Palestinian activist, was born in Brooklyn and is an American citizen.
The Greenbelt, an over 800,000-hectare ecologically sensitive zone around the Greater Golden Horseshoe, was created in 2005. It provides environmental protection and specifies where development should not occur.
Ottawa has an image problem. Canada's capital and fourth-largest city is generally viewed as a sleepy, characterless government town. There is some truth to that. There is a lot of truth to that.
O n January 6, 2021, the day of the Capitol insurrection, many people were transfixed by what they saw in Washington. It was only a heroic effort by the police that kept the insurrectionists out of the House of Representatives, where elected members and staff took refuge behind chairs and under desks. In one sense, the riot, with its outlandish characters wearing costumes and face paint, felt like an absurd exclamation mark that punctuated the end of an erratic presidency.
Most recently, she served as the executive director of the South Central Ontario Regional (SCOR) Economic Development Commission, a regional organization representing the counties of Brant, Elgin, Middlesex, Norfolk, and Oxford.

In her absence, and not seeing that elsewhere on the landscape, I've decided to step forward," she said, speaking to the Irish Independent.
The incident was first flagged by a student who had access to a shared social media account for a program at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School. In it, a teacher allegedly had shared an anti-Black racist image to the account of another teacher at the school, who replied LMAO where are the chicken wings, [F-word][N-word] are all the same.
We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. Just because Canada benefited from it didn't hide the fact that it was unfair. The rules didn't apply equally to everyone. The strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. Power, not principle, set the terms.
I love this city with all my heart, but unlike some in this room, I'm not blind to what it's become. London, one of the greatest cities on Earth, is no longer safe, and that doesn't happen by accident. When I was growing up, London was the place to live, the place to work, the place to build a life. People envied us that live here. Now, they pity us. They say: 'London's a bit too dangerous for me.'
Ontario will consolidate its 36 conservation authorities into nine across the province. Environment Minister Todd McCarthy says there will be no job losses as a result. He says the province listened to feedback after several town halls and 14,000 comments on its plan, which initially proposed having seven conservation authorities.
In January, Alberta premier Danielle Smith issued an extraordinary threat. Unless Prime Minister Mark Carney gave Alberta more influence over judicial appointments, her government would withhold funding from the courts. In an open letter, Smith argued she wanted judges who reflected Alberta's "distinct legal traditions"-though what those traditions are is unclear.
Existing contracts have no provisions for snow removal That's because the city's snow-clearing contracts which were signed in 2021 under former mayor John Tory and don't expire until 2029 don't include any provisions for snow removal. Contracted companies are only responsible for plowing city streets, so they have no obligation to actually take the snow, load it onto dump trucks and drive it out to a storage facility.
The plaque from Heritage Toronto will "salute" the community's courage, Mayor Olivia Chow told a news conference at The 519, a city agency located in Toronto's gay village. "The bathhouse raids were a horrid mistake and a serious stain on Toronto's reputation, a scar a community feels to this day, 45 years later," Chow said. "It was wrong. It was shameful. And we remember."
"Affordability isn't about keeping costs down, it's about keeping people in their homes," Chow said. "When we invest in keeping people housed, we're making Toronto more affordable for everyone and we're preventing the far greater cost of homelessness. We're making sure that one bad month or one medical emergency or layoff doesn't destroy the entire family," she added.
The offices "will ensure parents have a direct way to raise concerns, get help, and find solutions faster," Education Minister Paul Calandra said in a message to TDSB families last November.
There's no one solution to fix the city's gridlock, Toronto's new chief congestion officer says as he finishes up his first week on the job. Andrew Posluns sat down with CBC Toronto on Friday to discuss the freshly created role, noting there's no magic bullet that will address the city's congestion. There are a lot of factors that feed into congestion, he said. We need to do everything we can in order to be able to mitigate and address the congestion challenges that arise.
