The South Korean submarine ROKS Dosan Ahn Chang-ho arrived off British Columbia’s coast on Saturday in a flashy showcase of Hanwha Ocean’s bid to secure Canada’s multibillion-dollar submarine contract.
The vessel is visiting Victoria and will take part in joint anti-submarine exercises with the Royal Canadian Navy.
The newly built 3,000-ton KSS-III submarine made the historic 14,000-kilometre trans-Pacific voyage to demonstrate its long-endurance capabilities to Canadian decision-makers.
Public relations genius and Supergirl star Milly Alcock has decided alienating, insulting, and antagonizing the mostly male superhero fanbase is the way to go.
Let’s call it Going the full-Rachel Zegler.
Prime Minister Mark Carney defended billions in Canadian aid and military support for Ukraine, calling the spending an expression of “Canadian values” despite growing public skepticism over the prolonged conflict.
“We’re going to be on the right side of history,” Carney told reporters while reaffirming Ottawa’s commitment to Ukraine and NATO allies.
Blacklock’s Reporter said official figures show Canada has committed $22.6 billion in aid to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began.
A girl who was raped by two teenage boys has told the BBC that a judge’s decision to spare them jail sentences was like a “rock straight in my face”.
Speaking exclusively to Laura Kuenssberg, the girl, now 16, said: “What was the point in putting me through that?”
The girl, who spoke anonymously alongside her family, said the judge’s decision “almost made it seem as if what the boys did was not OK, but it was OK in the eyes of the law because they were still children”.
A month ago, I offered some predictions about how Canadian journalists would cover the five-year anniversary of the country’s infamous “unmarked graves” social panic, which began on May 27, 2021. On one hand, this kind of important landmark would be difficult for news outlets to ignore. (After all, this was considered the Canadian “Story of the Year” at the time.) On the other hand, any intellectually honest retrospective that these outlets produced would require at least some passing explanation as to why the entire Canadian media establishment had fallen hook, line, and sinker for a story that turned out to be fake—something that most journalists have so far proven unwilling to do.

A newly elected Scottish Green MSP who claimed they had “grown up starving” in India was privately educated with a privileged upbringing, it has been revealed.
Q Manivannan won a seat at Holyrood this month representing Edinburgh & Lothians East after campaigning as a “queer Tamil immigrant” who would stand up for the “working class and marginalised”.
He’s not even a citizen.
Alberta is about to decide whether it wants to stay in Canada or take steps to become an independent nation.
The provincial premier, Danielle Smith, recently announced that Alberta will hold a referendum to determine its future in Canada. The question to be asked will be: “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”
A crazed gunman who belived he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quckly taken down by a barrage shots from the Secret Service, sources said.
Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers.
WASHINGTON – A high-ranking U.S. defence official says the Pentagon gave Ottawa a classified paper laying out priorities for a collective North American defence pact with Canada, but that Ottawa did not deliver a “credible” response.
That lack of response is just one of several irritants the senior Pentagon official said is creating a rift in North American defence co-operation. Canada’s delayed decision around the procurement of F-35 fighter jets was also cited as a source of frustration.
The official from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration briefed a small group of mostly Canadian journalists this week on background in order to speak more candidly about Canada-U.S. relations.
Carney’s negotiating strategy seems to be about making Canada a pariah state to all but China and perhaps North Korea.
“Just outside this window, here’s the US base that they’re targeting,” says Ben Proud, the 31-year-old British swimmer and Olympian . He turns his video camera around to show me the night sky above Abu Dhabi, where he’s been watching Emirati defenses intercept Iranian missiles.
His phone dings each time one is incoming—an alert to stay inside. “This building used to be an air force base, so it’s very sturdy,” he says of the Erth hotel, where the athletes competing in the Enhanced Games are currently training. “If you’re inside, you’re away from the danger. Pretty much.”
TORONTO — Toronto politicians love to sell the city as a world-class destination ready to welcome the globe for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The ads are polished, the slogans are optimistic, and the promises are endless. But outside the carefully crafted marketing campaigns lies a city already struggling to handle its own daily pressures.
The reality is uncomfortable: Toronto is not in shape to host an event of this scale.

President Donald Trump has once again floated his controversial Greenland land-grab plans with a dramatic social media post showing himself looming over the Arctic island.
The AI-generated image, shared on Friday evening, featured Trump peering over the Danish territory’s mountains and colorful villages beneath the words: ‘Hello, Greenland!’
Why do Canadians cherish privacy in the first place? If a person has nothing to hide, why should they care if the authorities can read their emails, texts, or AI conversations? Why does Section 8 of the Charter expressly protect Canadians against unreasonable search and seizure?
Even completely innocent people who have nothing to hide rightfully cherish their ability to think, speak, explore ideas, and meet with others, without the state silently observing their every move. If we are not comfortable with a nosy neighbour (or even a close friend!) knowing everything about us, why should we accept the state knowing all kinds of things about our personal lives?
Small skulls hover on screens inside boardrooms in Kyiv. What looks like the scoreboard of a video game represents the number of Russians killed on the front line in Ukraine.
Kills translate into points and the more virtual points a Ukrainian unit scores, the better the weapons it can buy on the Brave1 online marketplace.
This gamification of the war does not suit everyone. Western leaders have apparently left the meetings grim-faced, perhaps because the cold reality of modern warfare is difficult to square with the Call of Duty-style icons.
The Trump administration’s decision this week to “suspend” the 86-year-old Permanent Joint Board on Defence sent some of us scurrying back to our well-thumbed copies of “The Good Allies,” the late Tim Cook’s study of the wartime alliance between Canada and the United States.
The joint board on defence, which the Americans clearly no longer regard as “permanent,” has (or had) its origins in that alliance. It was a forum for Canadians and Americans, mostly senior military leaders, to hash out common defence issues a couple of times a year.
Wait till the CUSMA review.
