Pentagon doubles down on Canada rebuke with demand for NATO spending road map, F-35 decision – proposed Carignan NATO makeover threatened

The Pentagon wants to see Canada articulate a clear plan on how the country intends to meet NATO’s new military spending benchmark before resuming binational defence planning co-operation.

The absence of a plan to spend 3.5 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product on the military, plus an additional 1.5 per cent of GDP on defence infrastructure, appears to be at the heart of this week’s suspension of the U.S.–Canada Permanent Joint Board on Defence (PJBD).

Senior Pentagon officials, speaking on background Thursday to mostly Canadian journalists, also cited the absence of a decision on whether to proceed with the full purchase of American-made F-35 fighter jets as another major irritant.

UK net migration fall masks true demographic replacement as British exodus continues

The left-wing U.K. government has claimed it is making real progress in tackling the ongoing migration crisis enveloping Britain after official statistics published on Thursday showed that net migration had decreased to 171,000 last year. However, that figure alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

“I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering,” under-pressure Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote on X in response to the latest publication by the Office for National Statistics.

Whistleblowers say organized crime has infiltrated Canada’s largest airport

Whistleblowers tell CTV News’ investigative unit W5 that organized crime has infiltrated Canada’s largest airport, as they call for sweeping reforms.

It took the horror of Sept. 11 to force airports around the world into a massive security overhaul to guard against terrorism.

Passengers became the focus of intense scrutiny: shoes off, liquids ditched, carry-on luggage scanned, bodies searched.

Pearson sounds worse.

Rubio tries to reassure Nato allies over US troop deployments

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has tried to reassure allies over US decisions on troop deployments in Europe.

Rubio’s intervention at the end of a Nato foreign ministers’ meeting in Sweden came after President Donald Trump said the US would send an extra 5,000 troops to Poland.

That decision was a week after a planned deployment of 4,000 troops to the country was cancelled and days after an announcement that US troops would be pulled out of Germany.

John Ivison: Canadian troops are steeling to fight Russia. Will Ottawa back them?

An extraordinary exchange with potentially dramatic consequences for Canada took place at the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday.

Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s potato-faced permanent representative at the UN, told the council that his country’s intelligence agency believes Latvia is deploying Ukrainian drones on its territory, with the intention of attacking Moscow.

“Membership of NATO will not protect you from just retaliation,” he told Latvia’s ambassador, Sanita-Pavluta Deslandes, who dismissed the allegations as “completely baseless” and “dangerous lies.”

Carney’s foreign policy means we will continue to fund Ukraine while siding with Russia and China in the coming war against the USA.

Ex-Prince Andrew probed over potential sex crimes at royal houses as cops appeal for ‘victim survivors’ to come forward

Former Prince Andrew is being investigated over potential sex crimes at royal residences — with cops appealing on Friday for “victim survivors” to come forward.

Investigators are keen to speak with a woman, who claimed Jeffrey Epstein sent her to have sex with Andrew at his now-former home Royal Lodge for “sexual purposes” in 2010 when she was in her 20s.

Thames Valley cops have not launched a criminal investigation yet, but have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.

Rubio says Cuba is threat to US as Havana accuses him of ‘lies’

Cuba poses a “national security threat” to the US and the likelihood of a peaceful agreement is “not high”, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said.

His comments come just a day after the US charged Cuba’s former president Raúl Castro with murder over the 1996 downing of two planes resulting in the killing of US nationals.

Rubio said Washington’s preference was “a diplomatic solution” but warned that President Donald Trump had the right and obligation to protect his country against any threat.

Canadian regulator triples US streamers’ financial contributions to Canadian content

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Large online streaming services must contribute 15% of their Canadian revenues to Canadian content, the country’s federal broadcast regulator said Thursday.

That figure is three times the 5% initial contribution requirement the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, CRTC, set out in 2024, which is being challenged in court by U.S.-based major streamers, including Apple, Amazon and Spotify.

The CRTC made the decision as part of its implementation of the Online Streaming Act, which the U.S. has identified as a trade irritant ahead of trade negotiations with Canada.

Thanks Carney, you sure a master negotiator.

Trump’s free speech tsar: We’re flooded by complaints from Britons

British citizens are flocking to a website set up by the Trump administration to bypass online-safety laws because they are living under a government “hostile to freedom of speech”, a senior US official has said.

Sarah Rogers, the under-secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs at the State Department, said freedom.gov had received significant interest from British users.

FLANAGAN: The residential schools ‘graves’ narrative lives on — despite zero verified finds

May 27 of this year will be the fifth anniversary of the shocking announcement that the unmarked graves of 215 missing children had been found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. But the announcement turned out to be a nothing-burger. On the third anniversary, the band’s leadership admitted that ground penetrating radar (GPR) had found only “soil anomalies” that were “potential” graves.

‘Here is your holocaust. We burned them like a barbecue’

Distinguishable by his long hair and extreme brutality, RSF commander Abu Lulu became the public face of the October 2025 massacre in al-Fashir, Sudan, after broadcasting numerous videos of himself slaughtering unarmed civilians.

In one video, the commander stands in front of a cowering group of men, aiming his gun at them imposingly.

One by one, the paramilitary fighter proceeds to shoot the group of nine at point-blank range, leaving their bodies in a heap on the ground as soldiers cheer and chant his name.
