Experts report a surge in interest among American academics looking to move to Canada

OTTAWA — Jason Stanley moved from the United States to Canada last September, leaving behind a high-profile position at Yale to take a job at the Munk School of Global Affairs in Toronto.

The fascism researcher said he made the move for one reason: academic freedom.

“That’s the only reason. Nobody’s coming to Canada for higher wages because you’re not getting higher wages. You’re getting lower retirement, lower salaries, sometimes more teaching. So it’s academic freedom,” Stanley said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

Dutch YouTube creators behind Alberta separatist videos getting millions of views

People based in the Netherlands are behind several YouTube channels that promote Alberta separatism but are fronted by hired actors, according to an investigation by CBC News’s visual investigations team and Radio-Canada’s Décrypteurs.

CBC News identified three individuals in the Netherlands whose digital trail links them to accounts that hired actors to appear on the YouTube channels. Two of them attended the same online course that teaches customers how to create “faceless” YouTube channels that generate passive income for the creators, who remain in the shadows.

Canada’s top general tries to reassure Ukraine as NATO tensions flare … and Ukraine deals with 2 million draft evaders

Canada’s top military commander attempted to deliver a message of reassurance to Ukrainians on Thursday that NATO remains a stable, vital force despite turmoil and criticism — most of it from the Trump administration.

Gen. Jennie Carignan spoke on a panel at the Kyiv Security Forum and she told CBC News, in an exclusive interview afterwards from the Ukrainian capital, that disagreements among allies are part of the democratic process and they have happened before.

Exactly who needs reassuring?

While President Zelensky celebrates automated ‘victories’ on the battlefield, his Ministry of Defense is grappling with the reality that two million men are actively evading the draft.

BERNARDO: 10 crime scenes, 2 killings, 18 missing smuggled guns — Ottawa still blames licenced firearms owners

An April 16, 2026, CBC report shows exactly what crime-gun enforcement should be focused on: cross-border trafficking, criminal resale, and violent offenders — not confiscating firearms from licenced Canadians who acquired them legally.

This should end, once and for all, the fantasy that confiscating legally owned firearms from licenced Canadians is a serious answer to violent crime.

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada keeps asking non-citizen criminals to stop. They obviously don’t

In 2017, a permanent resident of Canada named Mudasar Hussain was convicted of dealing drugs. Here was an opportunity to return him to his home country of Pakistan, but the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) didn’t take it: instead, it sent him a “stern warning letter” advising him that it wouldn’t take enforcement action if he stayed out of trouble — even though he was now considered inadmissible.

It’s clear are our government is comprised of criminal idiots.

Mounties, border officers and cyber spies shut out of early retirement incentive

Front-line security and intelligence workers including Mounties won’t be able to access the government’s penalty‑free early retirement incentive as federal public safety agencies focus on getting more people in the door — not out.

The early retirement incentive (ERI) is part of the government’s larger goal to trim the federal public service, and allows eligible federal employees to leave early without being penalized for cashing out their pension.

Good News, Frustrated Progs – Turning Canadian Just Became So Much Easier

I mean, if anyone’s in a big rush to get out of the States because of the BAD ORANGE MAN, but finds themselves in a straitened circumstance. You know, the kind where you can’t exactly afford the spread in the Cotswolds that Ellen and Portia bought, nor that ticket to Costa Rica so you can hide on cheap jungle hideaway time, like Tarzan or Jane, but with air-conditioning and a flush toilet.

Teen guilty of conspiring ‘to murder as many Jewish persons as possible’ in unusual trial

A 17-year-old has been found guilty of conspiring to murder Jews in Ottawa, among other domestic terrorism charges, after an unusual one-day trial that preserves his rights to appeal.

The teen — inspired by ISIS and an unknown person who went by “Klm” and “Gh D” online — was planning to commit an attack sometime around Christmas 2023 using three pressure-cooker bombs, according to a 50-page agreed statement of facts filed in Superior Court by federal Crown prosecutors Wednesday.

He planned to pack the bombs with thousands of 6.35 mm steel ball bearings “to maximize the death and injury caused by each,” and to strap one of the bombs to himself to detonate at the end of his attack, the statement of facts reads.

Unusual cuz it resulted in conviction?

Terry Newman: Pro-terror event held at government-funded community centre in Montreal

On Sunday, a community centre in Montreal hosted a Palestinian prisoners speaking event that celebrated convicted terrorists involved in stabbings, murders and a failed suicide bombing. The event was organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), a group with documented ties to terrorist entities.

Three days prior, two government departments and the centre’s administration were contacted by a lawyer warning them that the event posed a serious risk of promoting hatred and glorifying terrorism, to which none of the parties responded.

ISIS recruiter being released from prison still holds ‘extremist views’

An ISIS recruiter who is being released from prison remains radicalized and poses a danger to the public, according to a Parole Board of Canada decision.

The ruling obtained by Global News said that while Ashton Larmond was now eligible for statutory release, special conditions were needed to protect public safety.

Larmond was arrested during a 2015 RCMP counterterrorism operation. He has now served two-thirds of his sentence and therefore must be released from custody.

A network of YouTube accounts is promoting U.S. annexation to Albertans, researchers say. It has 40M views

The mispronunciation of Regina — as in, the capital of Saskatchewan — was a clue. Then there was the reference to B.C. MLA Dallas Brodie, a woman, as a “he.”

These slip-ups helped lead researchers at the Media Ecosystem Observatory (MEO) in Montreal to what they say is a network of affiliated YouTube accounts that appear to belong to concerned Canadians, sympathize with some Albertans’ grievances and push the idea of American annexation.

“The video narrators performed ‘Albertan,’ but there were these moments where you’re like, ‘OK, so this person is not from here,’ ” said Chris Ross, the senior analyst at the Observatory, who led his team’s recent probe into thousands of suspicious YouTube videos.

Who is behind this? Who stands to gain? Russia? China? Liberal Party members? Likely the latter.

AI makes it easy to create a click-bait video the creator(s) may have simply found a rich vein to mine for cash.

This can’t be happening at Rideau Hall

With the very notable exception of promising to learn French, then failing to do so, Mary Simon has not been a terrible Governor General. She spent money rather freely, of course, but they all do, and Parliament makes the budget, after all. You didn’t hear much from or about her, which is Job One for a governor general. That is, except in the francophone media, where she is a constant thorn in nationalists’ side because of her linguistic shortcomings.
