Why won’t Trudeau release classified names — and why won’t Poilievre get a security clearance?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made waves Wednesday by turning what started as an examination of his government’s response to foreign interference into a pointed criticism of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“I’m getting a little more partisan than I tried to in this case, but it is so egregious to me that the leader of the Official Opposition, who is certainly trying very hard to become prime minister, is choosing to play partisan games with foreign interference,” Trudeau told the public inquiry into foreign interference on Wednesday.

Clear majority of Canadians now say there’s too much immigration

For the first time in a quarter-century, a long-term tracking poll has found a clear majority of Canadians believe the country has accepted too many immigrants.

According to the results of the survey released on Thursday, 58 per cent Canadians said there’s too much immigration, up from 44 per cent in 2023 and 27 per cent in 2022.

The responses continue a trend since 2022, after years of a pro-immigration consensus.


We did not “accept” anything. The Trudeau government and the Business class dumped them on us so they could benefit from the economic and social chaos that has ensued.

Federal office mandate burdening Ottawa doctors as public servants seek medical notes

Family doctors in Ottawa are seeing an influx of public servants looking for medical notes to support work-from-home requests, putting added strain on an already overburdened health-care system.

Dr. Roozbeh Matin, who practises in Barrhaven, said he’s been noticing the trend for months, ever since the federal government announced plans to mandate public servants to work from the office more often.

“This is a systemic problem that all of us physicians in the Ottawa area are noticing,” he said. “We have been basically inundated with requests from our civil servant patients requesting various sorts of accommodation.”

An Unexpected Encounter Between Israeli Soldiers, Hamas Fighters Led to Yahya Sinwar’s Dramatic Death

For more than a year, Israeli military and intelligence forces have been searching every inch of Gaza for the man believed to be the architect of the October 7 attack that killed more than 1,200 people in Israel, Yahya Sinwar. Yet it was a chance encounter with a squadron of trainees on patrol that miraculously uncovered Israel’s most wanted target.

“Wow, wow, wow, it’s Sinwar,” an Israel Defense Force soldier exclaimed while gazing at a body after an exchange of fire in southern Gaza, according to Kan news. It took nearly 24 hours before forensic tests confirmed what that soldier recognized: the top Hamas leader was dead.

Poor at risk of being coerced into assisted dying in Canada

Sixteen experts across medicine, nursing and law identified people whose lives may have been wrongly terminated at the hands of the state, where the action is called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
