For the first time in months, Canadians received a small piece of encouraging news at the grocery store. Food inflation eased in April to 3.5%, down from 4.0% the previous month. Grocery prices specifically, food purchased from stores, rose 3.8% year-over-year, still significantly above Canada’s general inflation rate. More importantly, food inflation has now outpaced overall inflation every single month since March 2025. So while the pace of increase may be slowing, food affordability remains one of the country’s biggest economic frustrations, and consumers know it.

X Agrees to Review Illegal “Hate” Within 48 Hours Under UK Online Safety Act
X has agreed to process the vast majority of content flagged as illegal “hate” under the UK’s Online Safety Act within 48 hours, giving Ofcom, Britain’s speech regulator, a significant new enforcement win.
The platform committed to “review and assess UK suspected illegal terrorist and “hate” content reported through its dedicated UK illegal content reporting tool on average within 24 hours of it being reported, to be calculated as a mean” and to “review and assess at least 85% of UK suspected illegal terrorist and hate content reported through its dedicated UK illegal content reporting tool within a maximum of 48 hours.”
Trump administration’s decision to freeze Canada-U.S. defence board is a gangland threat uttered through clenched teeth
Two fewer meetings a year.
In practical terms, this is the impact of Washington’s decision to suspend the Canada-U.S. Permanent Joint Board on Defence — not an eviction from Norad fortress headquarters within a Colorado mountain, not an end to joint military exercises and exchanges.
Symbolically, though, the tweet on a slow-news holiday Monday from Elbridge (“Bridge”) Colby, a top adviser to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, sounds like a gangland threat uttered through clenched teeth: after all we’ve done together, are you really prepared to throw it all away, and have you really thought it through?
WTF?

How Trump got immigration spectacularly right
Parts of the MAGA movement are unhappy with President Trump’s migration strategy. The administration has softened its policy on deportations following a public uproar over the ICE killings in January, it is said. The focus has been on removing only the most violent offenders.
“The truth is the first year was not a year of mass deportation,” says Mike Howell of the Mass Deportation Coalition. “A conscious decision was made to go after the worst first, which was, we’ll call it a deviation, from the central campaign promise of mass deportations.”
WTF?

The man from Libya
The United Nations’ Panel of Experts on Libya is recommending that the UN Security Council impose sanctions on Ahmed Gadalla, a globe-trotting Libyan financier who is a permanent resident of Canada.
Mr. Gadalla, 46, and two of his foreign-based companies are on a list of individuals and entities accused of violating the UN arms embargo against Libya, according to the panel’s 2026 final report to the UN Security Council.
Imposed in 2011, the UN arms embargo prohibits the transfer of military equipment, such as weapons and armoured vehicles, to Libya, save for certain exceptions.
Shocking manifesto reveals teen shooters’ vile motivations behind San Diego mosque shooting
A shocking manifesto filled with racial and ethnic hatred linked to the teen terrorists who killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego is being reviewed by law enforcement, The California Post has learned.
The manifesto, co-authored by 17-year-old Cain Clark and 19-year-old Caleb Vasquez, includes the same Nazi imagery that Clarke donned in a livestream video of the horrific attack — the Black Sun and Atomwaffen symbols linked to Nazi Germany sympathizers. Further investigation by The Post found other links between the authors and the manifesto in various online profiles connected to shooters.
There’s no hiding the ugly face of World Cup 2026
Iran wants guarantees of beefed-up protection behind enemy lines and no political questions from prying journalists.
Senegal wants visas for a handful of officials from its national sporting federation who have been denied entry to the U.S.
Ghana wants fans of its national squad, the Black Stars, to promise they’ll return home, keeping the country in Donald Trump’s good graces.
People love the game. FIFA is a criminal organization.
The Plan to Eliminate Israel
Documents captured by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the Gaza Strip should finally bury one of the most dangerous illusions: the belief that Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime can somehow be persuaded to halt their jihad (holy war) and accept Israel’s existence.
On the morning of the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led invasion of Israel, three senior leaders of the terrorist group – Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Marwan Issa – sent a message to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah requesting support for the attack that had begun.
New Bill Would Ban Radical Religious Leaders From Entering the United States
Rep. Chip Roy introduced the Inhibiting Militant Adversarial Mullahs (IMAM) Act on Monday, which would bar radicalized leaders of certain religious denominations from being admitted into the United States.
“The United States should never roll out the red carpet for foreign clerics who preach anti-American hatred, celebrate terrorism, or serve as mouthpieces for radical regimes,” the Texas Republican told the Daily Signal in a statement.
Snowbirds to be grounded following 2026 season until new aircraft arrive
Canada’s iconic Snowbirds demonstration squadron will be grounded following the 2026 flying season until new aircraft arrive, the country’s defence minister said Tuesday.
In a statement, David McGuinty did not say how long it will take to replace the outdated CT-114 Tutor jets, which have been part of the air force inventory since the 1960s.
The turbo-prop Swiss-made CT-157 Siskin II has been chosen as the replacement for the Snowbird squadron. The aircraft is already on order and being delivered for use in the air force’s initial pilot training aircraft.
Update First production test flight of a RCAF CT-157 Siskin II (Pilatus PC-21)
We will procure the CT-157 Siskin II (Pilatus PC21) for the future Snowbirds team. During the onboarding period, the RCAF will continue to support air shows and events across Canada with aircraft and personnel. https://t.co/4GfMMabPlc pic.twitter.com/5qZolOv5eV

Gutfeld Delivers an Epic Autopsy of the Left’s Dying Race Card
Greg Gutfeld didn’t have Jessica Tarlov to push around on Monday’s episode of The Five, but he did present a brutal autopsy of the one weapon Democrats have relied on for decades and why it’s finally stopped working: the race card.
He started with the core diagnosis: The left is trapped in the past.
A Montreal man is wanted by the RCMP for terrorism, but Canada won’t take him back
Wassim Boughadou is wanted by the RCMP for terrorism. He insists he is “absolutely” willing to fly home from Turkey to surrender to police.
But the Montreal-born 34-year-old claims he can’t because Global Affairs Canada won’t let him.
“I am in a limbo,” he wrote in a text message, part of a cache of documents obtained by Global News that have gone unreported until now.
Additional background on this terrorist.
