The suggestion is that as the economy slows, young people feel both that they need to work harder to move the needle for themselves financially, and that more is riding on every misstep.

The price problem is not limited to Rutherford County. Some school systems in other states have combined bus routes or cut trips outside the classroom, such as field trips, as fuel costs rise.

This is what holding mega corporations accountable looks like. Every mayor on the continent needs to take a page out of @mayor.nyc.gov’s book.

Last year, Canada reported 5,462 measles cases and two deaths. My country lost its elimination status because of sustained transmission for more than a year. Other high-income countries have seen record numbers of measles cases in recent years as well.

The main reason the EU could be tempted into pulling a Carney-like move is its determination to protect its right to regulate and enforce rules within its jurisdiction, which Brussels sees as an absolute red line.

The most contentious issues appear to be related to tariffs on autos, digital and cultural policy, and the US claiming the right to veto Canada’s attempts to form trade alliances with other countries. Meanwhile, Canadians have no reason to trust Trump not to unilaterally impose new tariffs on a whim

Language rights have been entrenched in Canada’s constitution for decades and are particularly important to Quebec, which has fought to protect its distinct linguistic and cultural identity in an English-dominated North America.

Trump is enraged that Canadian prime minister Mark Carney asserted in January at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the U.S. is no longer a guarantor of stability in the world and that middle powers like Canada must unite in order to survive.

Testimonies from families describe inhumane conditions and routine abuse, including physical, verbal, and psychological abuse. Some testimony recounts male guards targeting teenage girls, including one who repeatedly entered a woman’s bathroom when he knew teenage girls were showering inside.

*Scroll for article* - Mayor Olivia Chow and PM Mark Carney made the announcement. Toronto will receive up to $2.7 billion from Ottawa over the next three years to build more than 5,600 new rental homes, with roughly a third earmarked as either deeply affordable, supportive or rent-controlled.

During his State of the Union address, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that “cheating is rampant in our elections” and called for “no more crooked mail-in ballots,” though states that vote entirely by mail see little fraud.

The requirements are changing as YouTube ramps up efforts to become more like a premium TV service alongside Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney Plus, rather than just an online platform for videos. This year, YouTube broadly rolled out a feature that allows creators to organize their videos into seasons.

Tariffs are taxes on imports, which companies can then pass along to consumers in the form of higher prices. The president maintains that the costs created by tariffs will cause manufacturing to relocate to the US, though there is little evidence of that in the economic data.

Vancouver is now the host to a singular development. The Canadian government has returned 10 acres in the middle of Vancouver to the Squamish, the First Nation whose ancestors lived there. On that land, the Squamish are building the densest residential neighborhood in the country.

I got off Xhitter when the owner started acting like a Nazi sympathizer. This graph confirms that X is a platform for grifters and Neo-Nazis! My mental health has actually improved since joining @bsky.app. I don’t see X-cretions anymore, which is a a blessing in disguise.

Four key political developments have had a galvanizing effect on the evolution of the far right as a whole in Canada: the candidacy and presidency of Donald Trump, the election of Justin Trudeau, the arrival of Syrian refugees into Canada, and the anti-Islamophobia parliamentary motion M-103.

Such practices would typically violate laws governing public and charter schools. But private schools operate largely outside those rules because they haven’t historically received direct taxpayer dollars. Now the state plans to spend at least $1 billion over the next two years on private education.
