Men from Edmonton and Calgary are accused of threatening to kill some of Canada’s top government leaders.
On May 10, Mounties were alerted about a threat to kill Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
There are two ways of interpreting the continuing decline of new condo sales — a trend that somehow achieved uncharted lows, according to information on second-quarter activity released earlier this week by Urbanation.
The firm, which tracks the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) housing market, reported that just 1,688 condos sold between April and June, a 66 per cent decline from the same period in 2023, marking the lowest sales rate in a generation (except for the first few months of the pandemic) — and all this despite overwhelming evidence of a housing affordability crisis.
BERLIN (AP) — Greenland police said they apprehended veteran environmental activist and anti-whaling campaigner Paul Watson on an international arrest warrant issued by Japan.
Watson, a 73-year-old Canadian-American citizen, is a former head of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society whose direct action tactics, including high-seas confrontations with whaling vessels, have drawn support from A-list celebrities and featured in the reality television series “Whale Wars.”
The new interim director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service authored a report maligning concerns about gender ideology as a domestic security threat.
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance slammed the Democratic party for leading a “coup” against President Biden — with the Ohio Sen. saying if Biden isn’t fit to run for president he shouldn’t be able to carry out the rest of his term.
The GOP ticket commented on Biden’s seemingly declining condition and the news that he would not be running for re-election in a clip that aired Monday morning on Fox News, telling “Primetime” host Jesse Watters that Biden shouldn’t get to step down in a way that is only beneficial to his party.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined other political leaders and diplomats in praising — and reflecting on — Joe Biden’s legacy, as Ottawa prepares to work with whomever Americans vote for as their next president this fall.
Biden announced on Sunday he is abruptly ending his presidential re-election campaign.
Across the arc of American history — and certainly during the 52 years that Joseph R. Biden Jr. has been a player on the national stage — presidents simply do not leave office or give up the race for reelection voluntarily.
On the rare occasions it happens involuntarily, it is not enemies in the opposition that force them to do what the hard-wired patterns of a lifetime tell them to resist. Inevitably, it is the work of ostensible allies within a president’s own party.
Even as federal Liberal government is pledging to cap the number of international study permits, its own data show Canada is approving permits at a pace faster than last year, which saw a record number of approvals.
According to numbers curated online by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada handed out 216,620 international study permits in the first five months of 2024.
The little prick is currently on vacation.
President Joe Biden is stepping aside as the presumptive Democrat nominee after his party helped ensure he staved off a real primary challenge, effectively disenfranchising voters across the Democrat base.
The effort began in December 2022 when Biden penned a letter to the Democrat National Committee asking for changes to the nominating process, including reordering the primary calendar.
There is no denying that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rescued Canada’s Liberals from a looming annihilation in 2015.
His political achievement was quite extraordinary. He moved the Liberals from third-party position in the House to a majority government in 2015.
Everyone with a brain cell knew he was unqualified, but no one could have predicted the disaster he would prove to be for Canada.
Donald Trump claimed that Joe Biden’s positive COVID test was phony, demanded he resign and issued an ultimatum to likely new opponent Kamala Harris.
Biden, 81, made the announcement in shocking fashion, simply posting a digitally-signed letter to his social media accounts Sunday afternoon.
Trump made a series of posts to his Truth Social account attempting to destroy the narrative around Biden’s decision, including the positive COVID-19 test that left the president at home the past few days.
Was Jill Biden President?
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says she didn’t soft-pedal Beijing’s interference in Canadian affairs or its human-rights record during blunt talks with her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi last week, a one-day visit aimed at reopening channels of dialogue after six years of a deep freeze in bilateral relations.
Ms. Joly met with the Chinese foreign minister for three and a half hours at the Diaoyutai State Guest House in Beijing on Friday but the two ministers did not break any significant ground in strained bilateral relations. A major reset is unlikely in part because of unfavourable perceptions of China among Canadians, she said.
Uh, what is Joly talking about? It’s not “the government” that has a problem with China interfering in our elections, threatening our citizens etc. but “Canadian perceptions”? …What? https://t.co/3uvO0fke47 pic.twitter.com/tbm7v6S5bp

Voters thought the faltering president was too old, but allies looked the other way, advisers defended his abilities and the Democratic Party boxed out other candidates
President Biden had just finished trying to persuade a group of congressional Democrats to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill when Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, took the microphone.
In 30 minutes of remarks on Capitol Hill, Biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers, according to Democrats in the room. After he left, a visibly frustrated Pelosi told the group she would articulate what Biden had been trying to say, one lawmaker said.
“It was the first time I remember people pretty jarred by what they had seen,” recalled Rep. Dean Phillips (D., Minn.), who would go on to mount an unsuccessful primary challenge against the president.
Can anyone find another example of Joe Biden underlining his signature? https://t.co/7xUq6yITJY pic.twitter.com/Jt7dmPgDJp
