Montreal’s population is on the decline due to lower immigration and the ever-aging population, according to a recent report by the Observatoire Grand Montréal.
Its projections indicate the trend could prevent the city from “experiencing population growth in the coming years.”
This contradicts patterns in other large cities, like Toronto and Vancouver, which are expected to see their populations increase by 2050.
Lucky Montreal!
HUGO Micheron is a French political scientist: a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University’s Institute for Transregional Studies, whose work focuses on the evolution of jihadism in Europe. In particular, he has examined how jihad took root and flourished in specific locations in Europe, where it was propagated by veterans of the Soviet-Afghan war and refugees from training camps for the Afghan resistance in Peshawar after these were shut down by the Pakistan government in 1992. Wherever these activists settled in Europe, hotbeds of extremist preaching sprang up, imparting their zeal to new generations reared in exile. These breeding grounds of jihad cross-fertilised, forming networks across north-western Europe while maintaining contact with the Middle East.
There are countless individual factors that could make anyone’s life less than enjoyable.
And all of us go through various hard times. I myself am going through a very rough patch now, between my health and that of others close to me.
That said, I will make the claim that those of us born in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s won life’s lottery.
I do not think there has ever been a naval dictatorship. Hungary’s Admiral Horthy, though a sort of dictator, lacked an actual navy, or even any sea, by the time he came to power. So he doesn’t count. Why might this be? Seamen tend to be wary of authority, unless it is wisely exercised. For they know a bad captain is more likely to kill them than to kill the enemy. And while warships may in theory be used to overawe civilian uprisings, this can only work in seaports and is rather hard to do even there. Winston Churchill parked the cruiser HMS Antrim in the Mersey in 1911, during a violent transport strike. The great ship lurked menacingly, but her guns remained silent. Ashore, by contrast, mounted soldiers opened fire on rioting crowds and killed two men.
As a foster carer, one of the first instructions we’re given in training is that we must not, under any circumstances, agree to collude in secrets with the children we care for. If a child I’m looking after asks me to keep a secret, I tell him or her gently that surprises are nice things to share, but secrets don’t keep us safe.
The deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD), a.k.a. Masjid Abu Bakr, has once again placed the mosque in the national spotlight. Authorities say the attack, which left three people dead, is being investigated as a ‘hate crime.’ The incident unsettled the San Diego community and prompted widespread condemnation from public officials and religious leaders alike.
But while the recent violence has generated sympathy and headlines, ICSD has long carried a controversial history that stretches back decades – including connections to 9/11 hijackers, terrorist financiers, and radical figures tied to some of the deadliest acts of terrorism ever committed on American soil.
OTTAWA — Days after a shooter opened fire on a school in rural British Columbia, a memo addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that “false claims” and “misinformation” was circulating online regarding violence and those who identify as transgender.
Officials also flagged that the incident risked giving rise to criticisms around firearm regulations.
Carney has a trans daughter.
Carney is your boss.
What sort of report on the tranny shooter of Tumbler Ridge will you prepare for your boss?
Donald Trump is set to slash the arsenal of US fighter jets, warships and submarines reserved for NATO allies should a military crisis erupt in Europe.
A military envoy sent by Pete Hegseth blindsided senior NATO officials in a classified Brussels briefing late last week, revealing US firepower committed to defending Europe will significantly decline, Der Spiegel and Reuters reported.
The US fighter jet commitment to NATO is to be slashed by a third, while the Navy will withdraw destroyers from the alliance’s pool.
In May 1980, with a Quebec sovereignty referendum five days away, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau made a bet. At the Paul Sauvé Arena, he staked his political credibility on a single phrase. “If the answer to the referendum question is NO,” he told the crowd, “we have all said that this NO will be interpreted as a mandate to change the Constitution, to renew federalism.” It was a last-minute brand for the federalist side — a rallying cry designed to give Quebec voters a reason to stay. The strategy worked.
A quarter of a century later, “renewed” federalism became “open” federalism. Stephen Harper’s version promised to respect provincial jurisdiction and resolve the fiscal imbalance. It was a different sales pitch, but with the same underlying move to rebrand the federation to make it seem responsive and worth defending.
Not sure how shitting on virtually all of Canada will unify us.
For years, Europe presented freedom of expression as one of its most recognisable political hallmarks. Almost a foundational principle: the right to express uncomfortable, even unpopular opinions, provided they did not involve violence or coercion. The problem begins when that principle collides with newer and more open-ended legal categories, particularly those linked to hate speech. That is precisely where Päivi Räsänen’s case begins.
Canadians increasingly believe U.S. tariffs are here to stay despite repeated promises from Prime Minister Mark Carney that Ottawa can negotiate a better trade deal with Washington, according to newly released Privy Council research.
Blacklock’s Reporter says federal focus groups found little confidence the Liberal government would succeed in convincing the United States to eliminate tariffs on Canadian goods, with many participants saying the measures are now a permanent part of American economic policy.
I get the feeling that the LPC and their media are running a psyop attempting to convince Canadians they are upbeat about the future.
Record insolvencies, youth fleeing for the US where unlike Canada they have a shot at owning a home and building a future, a growing number of households with food and rent exceeding monthly income, criminal governance by a business and political elite that have used mass immigration for their own monetary gain and agendas, foreign criminals waltzing into our nation and receiving a slap on the wrist for their crimes so their immigration status isn’t compromised.
I could go on.
There is a reason the LPC wants to limit free speech.
Ferrari has run into a wall of derision over the launch of its first electric car, which was branded a lookalike of Nissan’s Leaf that sells for almost 15 times more.
Shares in the Italian carmaker fell more than 6pc after the official unveiling of the battery-powered Luce. Investors feared Ferrari’s launch could become a repeat of Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) controversial failed rebrand.

A woman who came to Canada from India on a student visa almost 10 years ago and who pleaded guilty to stealing more than $7,000 from her employer has been given a sentence of house arrest after the judge took into account the “collateral immigration consequences” if she were to be given prison time.
The case was decided this year by the Alberta Court of Justice under Justice James J. Ogle.

OTTAWA – Former environment and climate change minister Steven Guilbeault will resign as an MP, CTV News has learned.
Guilbeault confirmed to CTV News he will tell Liberal caucus about his decision on Wednesday and will provide no further public comment until then.
Confirmation of Guilbeault’s resignation comes after CTV News first reported Tuesday that earlier in the week, Guilbeault was considering resigning from the Liberal caucus over his climate policy concerns, according to four sources in the federal government
