Number of non-Canadian federal inmates continues to rise

OTTAWA — While the numbers of Canadian citizens held in federal prisons continue a downward trend, populations of non-Canadians behind bars continues to rise.

But information on where these inmates are from is largely missing from the data provided by Public Safety Canada – with the national origin of nearly 35% of Canada’s non-citizen prison population listed as “unknown.”

The Soros Footprint in Latin America

Godzilla would be mightily impressed.

George Soros’s trail of devastation reminds me of Godzilla. In the opening scenes of the 1998 hit monster movie, scientist Nick Tatopoulos is overcome with fear when gazing on giant reptile’s footprints in a Central American country left by the mutant lizard on his way to tear up New York City. I get a similar feeling examining Soros’s monstrous footprint in Bolivia, where voters have just cast off a socialist narco regime he helped Cuba to install before moving on to the U.S.

LILLEY: As Conservatives lose MP Matt Jeneroux, Canada’s finances burn

Sure, Fitch Ratings, a major international credit agency, has issued a warning about Canada’s out-of-control debt and spending, but let’s talk about the Conservative Party.

Official Ottawa is in an out-of-control frenzy, not due to the out-of-control spending of the Carney Liberal government but over the comings and goings of Conservative MPs.

Europe’s Race to Net-Zero – and Total Self-Destruction?

In 1992, global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions stood at 22.3 billion metric tons. By 2024, they had reached a record high of 37.4 billion tons— an increase of nearly 68%.

Europe, by comparison, emitted 4 billion tons in 1992. By 2023, this figure had fallen to around 2.5 billion tons, a reduction of approximately 40% — on a global scale, a derisory amount.

KLEIN: Cancel Culture casts spell over common sense

Sometimes I read the news and wonder if we’ve all lost our footing. A few weeks ago, the Vancouver Park Board apologized to the 2SLGBTQ+ community for allowing a Harry Potter event in Stanley Park. The apology caught the attention of J.K. Rowling herself, who joked she hadn’t realized Vancouver had “avowed” her, so the disavowal wasn’t much of a blow.

This Trudeau minister kickstarted Canada’s immigration cuts. Here’s what he thinks about Carney’s new plan

Miller literally did that his 1st week on the job.

Whether people agree or disagree with Ottawa’s new immigration targets, the plan will help Canada regain control of the system, says the man who launched the mission to bring it back on track.

“It denotes stability, whether you like or not the important reforms that I put through in the last two years,” said Liberal MP and former immigration minister Marc Miller. Miller was tapped in 2023 by then prime minister Justin Trudeau to rein in rapid immigration growth amid a public outcry.

Most Canadians say Liberals falling short, but still approve of Carney: poll

OTTAWA — Most Canadians say Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has fallen short on its campaign promises, even as his overall satisfaction and approval ratings edge upward, a new Postmedia-Leger poll finds.

“There’s a lot of things to like about Mr. Carney’s experience and credentials that people gravitated to during the election and hold true now,” said Leger executive vice-president Andrew Enns, in an interview.

WARMINGTON: All 330 ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farms have been culled, CFIA confirms

Just call it Slaughterhouse 330.

Only unlike Kurt Vonnegut’s classic 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five, this slaughter house at Universal Ostrich Farms was not an abandoned one used as a prisoner camp by the Nazis in the Second World War but a culling pen built with hay walls and platforms in 2025 on the very farm where some of these ostriches as old as 35 lived for years.

‘Our job is only killing’ – how Sudan’s brutal militia carried out a massacre

Fighters laugh as they ride on the back of a pick-up truck, speeding past a row of nine dead bodies and driving towards the setting Sudanese sun.

“Look at all this work. Look at this genocide,” one cheers.

He smiles as he turns the camera on himself and his fellow fighters, their Rapid Support Forces (RSF) badges on display: “They will all die like this.”

The men are celebrating a massacre that humanitarian officials fear killed more than 2,000 people in the Sudanese city of el-Fasher last month. On Monday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) said it was investigating whether the paramilitary may have committed “war crimes and crimes against humanity”.

No data exists on citizenship approved or denied due to criminal records

OTTAWA — Canada’s immigration bureaucracy has no data on how often Canadian citizenship was granted – or denied – to those with criminal records.

That revelation comes courtesy of a response to an order paper question filed in September by Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner asking how many citizenship applications have been received, approved or denied from those with criminal records.
