Professor asks top court to review ‘revolutionary’ law curbing spy watchdog members

OTTAWA – A law professor is urging the Supreme Court of Canada to weigh the constitutionality of “revolutionary and unprecedented legislation” that limits members of a prominent spy watchdog from using their parliamentary immunity to speak out.

In an application to the top court, Lakehead University Prof. Ryan Alford says the case raises issues of public importance about the protections afforded to MPs and senators exercising their freedom of speech and debate.

Federal lawyers say in an opposing submission there’s no need for the Supreme Court to wade into the matter.

Ottawa health-care workers sign pro-Palestinian petition aimed at hospital CEOs

Almost 400 health-care workers have signed an open letter taking Ottawa hospital CEOs to task for withdrawing from Capital Pride events.

“As health-care workers at CHEO, TOH, and in the Ottawa area, we recognize that advocacy is a core tenet and duty of our roles” said the open letter, which was posted online Monday, only days after CHEO and The Ottawa Hospital announced they were withdrawing citing safety and inclusivity and the Jewish Federation of Ottawa said it could not support an event that “marginalizes Jewish 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and the broader Jewish community.”

Storm clouds still heavy around Liberals as cabinet meets for retreat in Halifax

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will kick off a three-day cabinet retreat in Halifax on Sunday, where the themes are fairness and Canada-U.S. relations, but the feelings are all about déjà vu.

A year ago in Charlottetown the cabinet hoped its annual post-summer retreat and the massive cabinet shuffle that preceded it would give new life to the Liberal government.

Spoiler alert: They did not.

The deluded Cult of Kamala is now blindly worshipping a vacuous, policy-free and utterly inept leader

But this might just be the rocket fuel Trump sorely needed

As parties go, this one was glitzy, slick, star-studded and electric.

It was also terrifying.

By the time Kamala Harris took the stage at the DNC on Thursday evening, we had been told by the Obamas, Oprah, the Clintons, Hollywood and Harris herself that there is no one better to be the next American president, because…

After a week of this, I still can’t tell you. After a week of the mainstream media insisting the same, I’m at a loss.

I doubt I’m alone.

Adam Pankratz: Wokeness is deservedly crashing. Let’s be careful about retribution

On Aug. 6, Ottawa’s Capital Pride released a pro Palestinian statement which likely garnered considerably more attention than its authors imagined it would. The statement vaguely attempted to call out all intolerance, including antisemitism, but could not hide the fact that it was itself decidedly antisemitic, though that irony was obviously lost on Capital Pride.

Screw that. No prisoners.

I witnessed horror of Beslan school siege that still stalks Putin

Twenty years after the end of the siege that killed 333 people, the echoes of brutality in North Caucasus still resonate, offering parallels with the war in Ukraine

The first thing I saw as I approached the school was four bodies under a sheet, the feet poking from underneath still domed and plump, so young were the victims.

A few metres away, a man in shredded clothes was curled in a ball, gibbering in terror. Soon I would look on as a woman outside the town hospital was told her child had died in the gymnasium. She let out a cry of grief like a wounded animal and fell to the ground. It was a moment that would haunt my dreams for years to come.

Yvette Cooper accused of suggesting everyone arrested over riots is guilty

Extremist

Yvette Cooper has been accused of suggesting that everyone arrested in connection with the riots is guilty.

Campaigners have urged the Home Secretary to order the deletion of a tweet from the Home Office’s official account which referred to more than 1,000 people detained by the police as “criminals”.

In a letter to her, the Free Speech Union raised concerns that the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, risked prejudicing the trials of those yet to appear in court.

Canada banned military exports to Israel — but critics say there’s an ‘absolutely appalling’ loophole

OTTAWA — The Canadian government is being accused of backpedaling on its promise to suspend arms exports to Israel after the U.S. government announced a plan to sell made-in-Canada explosive mortar cartridges to the Israeli government.

Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken approved a sale to Israel of 50,400 explosive mortar cartridges worth roughly $83 million. The cartridges are expected to be manufactured by Québec-based General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Inc. and delivered in 2026, pending congressional approval.

Explosion outside French synagogue injures police officer

An explosion took place outside a synagogue in southern France on Saturday morning, which police are treating as attempted arson.

It was caused by two cars being set alight outside the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte, authorities said. One of the vehicles contained a hidden gas bottle.

France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin called the incident “an obviously criminal act”.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “I want to assure our Jewish fellow citizens and the municipality of my full support”, adding that all means were being mobilised to find the perpetrator.

Mike Moffatt: The time has come to upend Canada’s temporary foreign worker program

Outside of 2020, when we were in lockdown, 2024 has been the worst year on record for teenagers to get a summer job, whether as a cashier at a convenience store or selling ice cream.

Despite the challenges teenagers are currently having in the job market, the number of temporary foreign workers approved for those same positions has never been higher, thanks to the federal government’s deregulation of the temporary foreign worker program in 2022.
