These groceries cost 45% more from Uber Eats than in-store

26 juin 2025 à 19:39
Inspired by a La Presse experiment, I learned the cost of convenience. It's not just the expected fees that add to the hefty totals for groceries ordered via food delivery apps, though. Overall, ordering from Sobeys’ Uber Eats storefront was 45 per cent more expensive than shopping IRL. My bill jumped from $73.16 at a Toronto brick-and-mortar Sobeys location to $105.88 via the delivery app. Read More

J.D. Tuccille: How Trump won the adulation of the western world in less than a week

26 juin 2025 à 19:00
For a guy who likened the 2003 invasion of Iraq to “throwing a big fat brick into a hornet’s nest,” U.S. President Donald Trump was surprisingly quick to bomb Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear weapons program for destruction. Then again, he’s just the latest in a long line of presidents who criticize the bellicosity of predecessors before embracing it themselves — usually without seeking congressional permission. It’s too early to know whether the atomic dreams of Iran’s leaders have been laid to rest, but the tentative ceasefire between Iran and Israel, and Trump’s positive reception at the NATO summit, suggest he pulled off a win — for now — and polished his international image.

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada is worse off without Russell Brown on the Supreme Court

26 juin 2025 à 12:00
Two years ago, Canada lost one of the best minds on its top court. Russell Brown, Supreme Court justice of eight years, resigned in 2023 after becoming the living embodiment of “the punishment is the procedure.” Subjected to a frivolous conduct complaint, then a frivolous possibly-forced leave of absence and frivolous investigation by the Canadian Judicial Council, he took matters into his own hands and retired from the bench — to the grief of the profession.

Critics are sounding the alarm on U.S. management of Canada’s nuclear labs. Here’s why

26 juin 2025 à 12:00
OTTAWA — As Canada is pledging to move away from the United States in the defence sector, critics are warning the federal government it might want to take a closer look at a Crown corporation’s recent decision to award a contract to a U.S.-based joint venture for the management of the country’s nuclear laboratories for possibly the next 20 years.

Alan Kessel: Trump puts an end to American ambivalence

26 juin 2025 à 00:31
The Middle East has entered a precarious calm. On June 24, a ceasefire brokered by United States President Donald Trump brought a sudden halt to a week of escalating hostilities between the U.S., Israel, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The missiles have stopped — for now — but the implications of what unfolded are still reverberating across the region, and far beyond it. Read More

Chris Selley: Carney’s bizarre fixation with calling us ‘European’ makes no sense

25 juin 2025 à 20:17
On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said — not for the first time — that Canada is “the most European of non-European countries.” He said it in May, too, in France; and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said it as well, in an interview with BBC. So it’s obviously a deliberate talking point. What’s weird about it is that Carney and Joly offer no explanation. They just say it as if it’s an established fact that all Canadians accept — which they obviously would not. Read More
