HUNTER: Where are lost rapists, killers and pedos listed for deportation?
Get the latest from Brad Hunter straight to your inbox ORDERED OUT: Killer Obnes Regis was ordered deported from Canada multiple times. When I lived in the United States, I was always conscious that a piss-up gone sideways on a Saturday night in Peoria could see me booted from the country.

Create Account Probably wildly exaggerated, I know, but there was one firm, unshakeable reality: I was not an American citizen and should act accordingly. A quaint notion like that seems utterly absurd in 2025 Canada. There are around 400,000 people awaiting deportation, 30,000 of whom were inadmissible in the first place. Like it? On Tuesday, the Globe and Mail reported that CBSA agents are trying to locate nearly 600 foreigners with criminal records who are slated for the night train to whatever dump they came from. They have, the Globe said, gone missing, and 431 of them have been found guilty of serious crimes. And when were they scheduled to appear for deportation? They skipped. And why wouldn't they? Park a bullet in someone, and the whole system weeps with the killer. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

In 2011, CBSA started a most wanted web page with mug shots of the people they were hunting and their crimes. Dozens were captured and deported. Then, the page was quietly phased out in 2023.

Recommended video 'Justin Trudeau and his gang of woke idiots thought the list was mean and racist,' a CBSA agent, who asked not to be identified, told the Toronto Sun. 'That list was working. Now? No one gets detained. It's f—ing ridiculous.' The agent noted that Canada's entire immigration apparatus is compromised by 'leftist radicals' and non-Canadians turning a blind eye to malfeasance at our borders.

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS / Chris Young And if they get nabbed for a crime and land before one of the old woke sweetie pies that are Canadian judges? The court bends over backwards when sentencing, so none of these losers is deported. Of course, during the Trudeau years, it was recently revealed that 17,000 foreign criminals had their convictions forgiven. Wading into discovering the whos, whats, and whys of Canadian immigration is a trip into a funhouse of wacky mirrors, with the mantra like a demented parrot, 'privacy concerns, privacy concerns, privacy concerns.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. A case in point is Abdalaazim Harun of Windsor. He got pinched with enough fentanyl 'to be blunt, to kill thousands of people.' He was dinged with a 6 1/2 year sentence. We are NOW taking bets on whether, upon completion of his sentence, he gets deported to his native Sudan. Judge Paul Thomas O'Marra (thank you, Kathleen Wynne!) was very, very sympathetic to the pervert Akashkumar Khant, 30. Khant, an Indian immigrant, was trolling for action and agreed to meet for sex with a 15-year-old girl at a Holiday Inn in Mississauga. Price? $140. Instead of a teen tryst, he was greeted by a cop. O'Marra gave him a conditional discharge. Three months' house arrest. The jurist feared that a criminal record just might get Khant deported. Why, the weak-kneed judge sputtered that a conviction could 'delay his citizenship by four years … [and]… also prevent him from sponsoring his wife and obtaining his engineering licence.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. If he had been Canadian, Khant would be heading to the slammer. But thanks to the softies on the Supreme Court of Canada and down to the judicial minor leagues, along with a woke CBSA and an arguably deeply corrupt IRBC, such unpleasantness is unlikely. For those of us who still believe in some degree of law and order, we'll have to look longingly at places like Houston, where the feds arrested 211 illegal aliens charged or convicted of child sex offences. If he were in Texas, no doubt Judge Paul Thomas O'Marra would be going over the boards for the pedos and pervs he appears to find kinship with. bhunter@ @HunterTOSun MLB Canada Toronto Blue Jays Celebrity Toronto & GTA

Canada's new drug pricing guidelines are industry-friendly
Share article Print article Drug pricing in Canada just got more industry-friendly. Canadian drug prices are already the fourth highest in the industrialized world. Now, with the release of new guidelines for the staff at the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB) at the end of June, the situation is poised to potentially get even worse. The review board is the federal agency that was set up 1987 to ensure that the prices for patented drugs are not "excessive." Up until now, one of the criteria the PMPRB used in making the decision about what was an excessive price was to compare the proposed Canadian price for a new drug with the median price in 11 other countries. The median is the 50 per cent mark; in other words, the price in half of the other countries was below what's proposed for Canada, and the price in the other half was above the proposed Canadian price. Under the new guidelines, set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2026, the Canadian price can be up to the highest in those other 11 countries. Right now, the median price in the 11 countries Canada is compared to is 15 per cent below the price of patented drugs in Canada. The highest international price, which will be the new standard, is 21 per cent above the median Canadian price, meaning Canadian prices for new drugs will be significantly higher than they otherwise would have been. Sometimes a drug is not available in any of the 11 other countries when it comes onto the Canadian market. In that case, the company can price the drug at whatever level it wants and keep it at that price until it comes up for its annual price review. The executive director of the PMPRB told the Globe and Mail that this would incentivize drugmakers to bring their products to the Canadian market first. Incentivizing drug companies may be a reasonable idea, but that's not part of the mandate of the PMPRB. As laid out in Section 83 of the Patent Act, its mandate is to ensure drug prices aren't excessive. In the past, one of the factors that the PMPRB took into account in determining if prices were excessive was the additional therapeutic value of a new drug compared to what was already on the market. The lower the value, the lower the price. In this regard, the PMPRB was advised by its Human Drug Advisory Panel, an independent group of experts. The ranking of new drugs against existing ones was also of significant value to Canadian clinicians. It helped them to decide on the best treatment option for their patients and countered the hype about new drugs that came from the manufacturers. Since the new guidelines have abandoned looking at therapeutic improvement of new drugs, that leaves only one remaining Canadian source for that type of information, the Therapeutics Letter, a bimonthly publication targeting identified problematic therapeutic issues in a brief, simple and practical manner. Complaints about prices can be made by federal, provincial and territorial health ministers and by senior officials who are authorized to represent Canadian publicly funded drug programs. " Other parties who have concerns about the list prices ... are encouraged to raise their concerns with their relevant Minister(s) of Health or Canadian publicly-funded drug program (sic)." This advice is cold comfort for people working low-wage jobs who aren't covered by provincial and territorial drug plans and don't have any access to their health minister. If there is an in-depth review of a new drug's pricing - a preparatory step to determine whether there should be a formal hearing to investigate if the price is excessive - it is only the manufacturer that is allowed to submit information to the PMPRB. Clinicians who prescribe the drug, patients who take the drug, and organizations and individuals that pay for the drug do not have that same right. Donald Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs are already threatening to drive up drug prices and make prescription drugs inaccessible to many Canadians. Higher drug prices will also almost certainly affect Canada's already limited pharmacare program. Higher prices for new drugs will make an expanded pharmacare plan more expensive and less appealing to the federal government. The new PMPRB guidelines help ensure higher drug prices and no pharmacare expansion.

What happens if the Giller Prize shuts down?
Social Sharing The executive director of the Giller Prize says that Canada's most prestigious literary award will be forced to shut down if the organization doesn't receive $5 million from the federal government. This comes after the Giller Prize cut ties with its former lead sponsor, Scotiabank, because of its subsidiary's investment in Israeli arms manufacturer, Elbit Systems. Today on Commotion, guest host Eli Glasner speaks with Globe and Mail columnist Marsha Lederman about the future of the Giller Prize and the impact on Canadian literature if it closes down. We've included some highlights below, edited for length and clarity. For the full discussion, listen and follow Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud on your favourite podcast player. WATCH | Today's episode on YouTube: Eli: Why does the Giller Prize matter, in the big picture? We're talking about the future of this, so talk to me about the difference it has made and its impact. Marsha: The Giller Prize is, I would argue, the most prestigious literary prize in this country. And it's not just about perception. There have been studies that have shown concrete increases in book sales as a result of a Giller nomination, and especially a win. It's marketing gold. And it's not just the prize, there's a book tour, there's a book club, there's a scholarship for young BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, People of Colour] writers. And all of this is important, and it's a celebration — or it was — of Canadian literature, which is a very good thing. So it would be a real loss to the ecosystem, I believe. Eli: And going back to the pressure campaign, Scotiabank's investments in the Israeli arms manufacturer, that was very successful. This is now just the Giller, not the Scotiabank Giller. But from your perspective, was it worth it, if it means the end of this prize? Marsha: The easy answer is: even if it's a shame that we lose this prize, it's nothing compared to what's going on in Gaza, which, of course, is true. But was bringing down this prize the right move? Like, is it going to change anything in Gaza? Even if the Scotiabank subsidiary has decreased its investment in Elbit Systems, does that really make a difference? I think probably not. But I also understand authors with strong convictions do what they can with their voice in a horrible situation. They wanted to voice their opposition to this war, fair enough, this is how they chose to do it. But I do think if we lose the Giller, it is a tremendous loss for Canadian culture. Eli: Do you see a way forward that Ottawa would directly fund this prize? Marsha: Personally, I do not. The federal government is currently asking for spending cuts, pretty much across the board. Even if $5 million is a drop in the bucket, the optics are not great when you're asking for cuts everywhere — and that will probably include, I presume, the Canada Council for the Arts, which [provides] grants [to] artists and cultural organizations and funds the Governor General's Literary Awards. So I don't see a scenario where the government hands money over to this organization, especially when so many arts organizations are struggling. The Vancouver Art Gallery just cut 30 per cent of its staff in programming. The Regina Folk Festival is closed. The Kingston WritersFest is struggling. I don't know how the federal government gives money to this glitzy prize in light of all that.

Processed meat is linked to diabetes, colorectal cancer. Is deli meat also unhealthy? 10 brands you can buy in Canada, ranked by a nutrition coach
Deli meats are a convenient go-to for lunches, charcuterie boards and grab-and-go snacks. Some are lean, protein-packed choices that make lunch a little easier. Others are heavy on sodium and saturated fat, with a side of added preservatives. For Canadians navigating the deli counter, it's worth learning the difference between a healthy pick and an ultra-processed one. Health Canada has classified deli meats as highly processed foods, and for good reason. Many varieties are packed with salt and preservatives, which have been linked to increased risks of ailments like heart disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. And now, a new study reviewing research continues to indicate how harmful processed meat can be for your health. This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Contact a qualified medical professional before engaging in any physical activity, or making any changes to your diet, medication or lifestyle. What does the study say? According to the study, published on June 30 in the Nature Medicine journal, researchers analyzed dozens of prior studies that looked at how consuming processed meat is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Research showed regularly consuming processed meat had a link to an increased risk of coronary heart disease. However, this was statistically insignificant and could've occurred by chance. But comparing a diet of 50 g of processed meat per day versus none showed an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. This amount of processed meat equates to about two or three slices of packaged deli meat, depending on the brand. Eating this amount daily compared to none led to, on average: Type 2 diabetes: A 30 per cent rise in risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Colorectal cancer: A 26 per cent rise in risk of developing colorectal cancer. According to the Globe and Mail, researchers also offered a conservative estimate. Compared to eating no processed meat, consuming between 0.6 to 57 g of processed meat per day came with — on average — at least a seven per cent higher risk of colorectal cancer and an 11 per cent higher risk of type 2 diabetes. As consumption rose, so did the risk of these health conditions. As a nutrition coach, I know consistently eating balanced meals sometimes means choosing convenience. Deli meats are a super quick source of protein that can help people create more nutritious meals when they're short on time. Here, I've ranked 10 of the most common deli meats found in Canadian grocery stores — like turkey breast, ham, roast beef and Canadian-style bacon — using nutritional breakdowns and official health recommendations to give you a clear picture of what you can safely add to your cart and what might be worth rethinking. Do I have to stop eating deli meats entirely? While processed meat has been under scrutiny for years, that doesn't mean you have to cut out deli meats completely. You can enjoy them occasionally as part of a balanced diet, especially if you choose leaner, lower-sodium options. The key is to read labels carefully and prioritize minimally processed sources of protein whenever possible. You should also keep an eye on portion sizes to limit your overall exposure to high sodium and fat in processed meats. What to look for when buying deli meat Claims you see on the front of deli meat packaging like "natural," "nitrate-free" or "artisan" aren't regulated in Canada. Instead, check the Nutrition Facts table and ingredients list. Here's what to aim for: Protein: At least 8 to 10 g per 56 g serving Sodium: Preferably under 500 mg per serving (Canada's recommended sodium limit is 2,300 mg/day) Fat: Lean options will have 2 g or less per serving Ingredient list: Shorter is better. Look for real cuts of meat ("turkey breast" or "top round") over vague blends ("mechanically separated meats"). How I ranked these meats To create this list, I started with Canada's most common and popular deli-style meats — turkey, chicken, ham and roast beef — and added a few popular extras like prosciutto, back bacon and Montreal smoked meat. Each meat was ranked using: Nutrition per 56 g serving: Protein, fat and sodium Processing level: Is it oven-roasted, cured, smoked or ultra-processed? Health guidelines: from Health Canada, Heart & Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society Health Canada recommended limiting highly processed foods and keeping sodium intake under 2,300 mg per day. The Canadian Cancer Society also advised eating no more than three servings of red or processed meat per week. These guidelines shaped the cutoff points I used in this ranking. 1. Schneider's Deli Best Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast Per 56 g (about two slices): Calories: 56 Protein: 12 g Fat: 0.3 g (Saturated: 0.06 g) Sodium: 431 mg Carbohydrates: 1.1 g Turkey is a popular protein (Canadians spent about $466 million on turkey in 2024). It's lean, relatively low in fat and delivers a decent protein hit per serving. The ultra-lean turkey option from Schneider's is low in fat and sugar, high in protein and made with straightforward ingredients. Its sodium is moderate compared to most deli options. For health-conscious shoppers, this is a consistent front-runner. 2. Olymel Original Cooked Chicken Breast Per 56 g (about three slices): Calories: 56 Protein: 9 g Fat: 1.4 g (Saturated: 0.35 g) Sodium: 438 mg Carbohydrates: 0.9 g Chicken is the most popular meat in Canada by a landslide, but hasn't been a top choice as a deli meat until more recently. Chicken is a great deli option since it's more nutritionally balanced than other cuts. Olymel's version is nitrite-free, sans preservatives and contains solid lean protein, minimal fat and moderate sodium. It's a reliable choice if you want to avoid preservatives, and its flavour is neutral enough to include in sandwiches or wraps. 3. Maple Leaf Natural Selections Shaved Slow Roasted Beef Per 56 g (about eight to nine slices): Calories: 58 Protein: 12 g Fat: 1.1 g (Saturated: 0.6 g) Sodium: 464 mg Carbohydrates: 1.1 g Red meat has a bad rap, and while it's best to limit your overall intake, lean cuts will give you a hefty serving of protein with minimal fat, plus iron and vitamin B12. A grocery store staple, Maple Leaf's Natural Selections Roast Beef, is gluten- and nitrite-free, made from natural ingredients and has a clean, lean protein profile. With about 12 grams of protein and just over 1 gram of fat per serving, it'll help keep you full with moderate sodium. 4. Olymel Smart & Natural Black Forest Smoked Ham Per 56 g (about four slices): Calories: 56 Protein: 11g Fat: 2g (Saturated: 0.6g) Sodium: 481mg Carbohydrates: 0g Pork-based deli meats like ham and salami are the most popular type in Canada, but they can also be higher in fat and sodium. One exception is lean ham, including Olymel's smoked black forest version, which is nitrite-free, gluten-free and made with natural ingredients. At just 2 g of fat and 11 g of protein per serving, it's leaner than many traditional ham products, but sodium is moderate at around 20 per cent of the daily value. Keep in mind, even lean ham varieties can add up in sodium, so limit servings to once per week or swap in turkey to stretch your intake. 5. Ziggy's Smoked Turkey Breast Per 56 g (about three to four slices): Calories: 47 Protein: 9 g Fat: 0.6 g (Saturated: 0 g) Sodium: 455 mg Carbohydrates: 1.2 g (Sugars: 1.2 g) Ziggy's, which is a Loblaw brand, makes a smoked turkey that is extra lean and decently high in protein. It would make a killer sandwich paired with veggies and honey mustard on high-fibre bread. But sodium is still an issue at 20 per cent of your daily recommended amount in a 56 g serving. Choose this for extra flavour once in a while, but for more frequent bites, substitute lower-sodium cooked turkey. 6. Lou's Kitchen Original Peameal Bacon Per 56 g: Calories: 59 Protein: 8 g Fat: 2 g (Saturated: 0.66 g) Sodium: 421mmg Carbohydrates: 2 g (Sugars: 1 g) Peameal bacon — what non-Canadians ironically call Canadian bacon — is a leaner alternative to traditional bacon, and Lou's version holds up relatively well. It's low in fat and calories, but sodium still climbs to nearly 30 per cent of the daily limit in a single serving, which is 85 g (two slices), according to the package. Stick closer to a 56 g serving, or go with a single slice to limit your sodium intake. 7. M&M Food Market Montreal Smoked Meat Per 56 g (about two slices): Calories: 61 Protein: 8 g Fat: 3 g (Saturated: 1 g) Sodium: 479 mg Carbohydrates: 1 g No Canadian deli meat list would be complete without Montreal-style smoked meat, used to make the classic sandwich on whole grain rye with mustard or paired with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese in a Reuben. M&M Food Market Montreal Smoked Meat gets high praise from customers for its tenderness and authentic flavour. Although it's not overly salty and less processed than salami and many cured meats, it's still moderately high in fat and sodium. It has a decent amount of protein from lean brisket, but its preparation means it's best positioned midway in the list as an occasional protein swap for sandwiches or charcuterie. 8. Piller's Extra-Lean Ham Kolbassa Per 56 g: Calories: 78 Protein: 10 g Fat: 4 g (Saturated: 2 g) Sodium: 493 mg Carbohydrates: 0.6 g (Sugars: 0.6 g) Traditional kolbassa can be pretty fatty, but this European-style lean ham version from Piller's is higher in protein with moderate fat. The sodium content is respectable for a ham product, but it nearly hits 20 per cent of the daily limit with just 493 g in a 56 g serving (the package serving suggestion is 100 g with 880 mg sodium). The ingredient list is traditional, though it includes nitrates. Try pairing a small portion with extra veggies to balance sodium intake. 9. San Daniele Smoked Prosciutto (Speck) Per 56 g (about three to four slices): Calories: 134 Protein: 16 g Fat: 8 g (Saturated: 3 g) Sodium: 986 mg Carbohydrates: 1 g (Sugars: 0 g) San Daniele is a brand owned by Ontario-based company Sofina Foods, which makes a range of authentic Italian charcuterie meats. This juniper-scented smoked prosciutto is rich in flavour, blending Italian salt-curing with Central European smoking. It's high in sodium, though — nearly 1,000 mg per 56 g serving — and moderately fatty. A little goes a long way, making it better suited to charcuterie boards in small portions (the package suggests 30 g) with fresh fruit, greens or whole grains to balance the saltiness. 10. Schneider's German Salami Per 56 g (about 10 to 11 slices): Calories: 224 Protein: 15 g Fat: 17 g (Saturated: 6.5 g) Sodium: 653 mg Carbohydrates 1.9 g (Sugars: 0 g) For a deli salami, this German-style option from Schneider's edges out other brands with its higher protein and slightly less sodium content than other brands. Still, it's high in fat and saturated fat, which places it near the bottom of the health rankings. Enjoy this one occasionally or pair it in small amounts (the suggested serving size is 30 g) with high-fiber, low-sodium ingredients like whole grain crackers or crisp vegetables.
