The federal government will be further limiting the number of international students permitted to enter Canada next year. It’s the government’s latest immigration-related measure to address Canadians’ ongoing housing and affordability concerns.
In 2025, new international student study permits will be reduced by 10 per cent from the 2024 target of 485,000. That will mean 437,000 permits issued next year, with that same target continuing into 2026.
Sally Muffinsheep was a babe. Now 48, by the time she was 16, it was evident she was going to have a comfortable life. Men would always fall all over her to help her. Born into an upper middle-class family, she always had financial support when she needed it. She was an art history major and did some part time modeling while working for a fashion magazine in New York. There she met Pierre Little-Johnson, a Brit, and a sommelier/sales rep for an East Village wine distributor.

Embattled union leader Fred Hahn says he has not decided whether to seek re-election at CUPE after its national executive board “lost confidence” in him and sought his resignation over a Facebook video post denounced as antisemitic.
“We’ll cross those bridges when we come to them,” Hahn told reporters Tuesday, noting the next vote for national vice-presidents of Canada’s largest public-sector union isn’t until spring 2026.
Hillary Clinton has yet another book out, and one of the first publicity stops was a 12-minute softball session on The Rachel Maddow Show on Monday. Late in the interview came a shocking line from Hillary about civilly or criminally charging right-wing “Deplorables” who spread misinformation.
The federal government has clarified that no, a “picture of a bunny” is not sufficient documentation to access a multi-billion dollar procurement program intended for Indigenous businesses.
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) has apologized to the Algonquin Anishinabeg Tribal Council after an official told the group that they could upload “any” document, including a snap of a rabbit, to qualify as an Indigenous supplier.
For decades Lebanon’s Hezbollah had cultivated the aura of a formidable, tech-savvy guerrilla force.
There was the time they hacked an Israeli surveillance drone, giving them advance warning of a special forces operation they then ambushed. Or when they sent their own surveillance drones over Israel, bypassing aerial defences and taking footage of some of the country’s most sensitive sites.

Federal Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez will announce on Thursday he will seek the leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party.
The news, first reported by La Presse, was confirmed to the Presse Canadienne by a federal Liberal source not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The operator of one of the world’s busiest seaports changed its entire landscape to handle its “precious cargo” of imported electric vehicles from China, including “constructing a dozen wind turbines on the quayside; on-site battery recharging options; quality control and a ruthless hunt for the slightest defect to deliver ready-to-use cars to customers.”
Instead of owning up to his own overreaction to benign protesters at Parliament Hill, Jagmeet Singh is now trying to dump it on political opponents who had nothing to do with it.
That whole spectacle was created by Singh and Singh alone.
But now suddenly Pierre Poilievre is to blame for Jagmeet Singh’s bizarre square-off with protesters in Ottawa?
A majority of Democrats say they are either “unsure” if America would be better off if Trump had been murdered over the weekend or flat-out say America would be better off.
This poll of 1,000 registered voters was taken by Scott Rasmussen, president of RMG research, on September 16-17 on behalf of Napolitan News.
… The explosion in antisemitic fervour did not suddenly appear out of nowhere. Rather, it has emerged out of an ideology that has become increasingly embedded in our social institutions and manipulated by Islamic radicals to co-opt masses of useful idiots.
This ideology is used to fuel hostility toward Jews and other supposedly “white adjacent” minorities, such as Hindu- and Chinese-Canadians. It emerges from a simplistic oppressor-oppressed ideology, which has gained prominence over the last few years and now dominates many institutions and sectors of Canadian society. It holds that we can neatly designate identity groups as either “privileged” or “marginalized” based on skin colour, average household incomes or educational achievement.
This is much less a step in the right direction than I would hope. Judging by the excerpt above the authors aren’t much concerned that whites are the primary target of the DEI racists only that some minorities are victimized for being “white adjacent”.
I haven’t heard much about anti-Hindu discrimination in Canada so their mention here seems to tie in with the imported Israel-Modi anti-Khalistan/Islam alliance that is playing out on Canada’s streets. It is especially disturbing given the animosity of Hindus toward Christians in India.
Tacitly supported by the article is B’nai Brith’s recent decision to embrace the racist DEI grift and work within it at Canadian universities. They hope to carve out a spot on the privileged victimhood hierarchy rather than condemn the whole racist enterprise.
Who knows maybe the crocodile will eat them last!
I guess I’ll just have to get used to be being a member of Canada’s apex oppressor colonizer class.
The head of a watchdog organization has offered a one million dollar reward to ‘Queers for Palestine’ or any LGBTQ organization that holds a pride march in Gaza or areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
New Tolerance Campaign (NTC) President Gregory T. Angelo, who is gay, said that the offer should serve as a “wake-up call” for LGBTQ organizations that side with the Hamas terrorist organization over Israel.
There was, almost in passing, an allusion to reflecting on things. But the word that set the tone for Justin Trudeau’s reaction to yet another gut-punch by-election loss was “continue.”
“We know we have an enormous amount of work to do to regain people’s confidence in Lasalle, and people across the country who are worried by the situation they find themselves in,” the Prime Minister told reporters. “So we have lots of work to do and we’re going to continue to do it.”
As Congress investigates the first assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, the nation is reeling from a second. The sequel may be a harbinger, as one act of political violence often inspires others. To stop the spread, we need cool waters of peace to douse the flames of rage.
Waving revolvers, four presidential assassins perform “The Gun Song” in “Assassins” by Stephen Sondheim. “All you have to do,” they sing in the ode to triggers, “is move your little finger, and you can change the world.” It’s both a catchy tune and a tempting idea to deranged and radical minds.
Hundreds of people were wounded on Wednesday as Lebanese media reported another round of explosions throughout the country at midday.
Three people had been killed, according to Lebanese state media.
According to Reuters, citing a Lebanese security official, those wounded sustain wounds primarily to the stomach and hands.
