Separatist movement in Canada’s Alberta province finds allies in Trump’s circle

In the middle of a trade war and Donald Trump’s threats to make Canada the 51st state of the United States, Canadians are watching in astonishment as figures close to the president embrace a minority separatist movement in the province of Alberta. Secret meetings with representatives of the U.S. State Department, the open support of figures from the MAGA movement, and the possibility of a referendum this fall — for which signatures are already being collected — paint a picture in which many see the shadow of foreign interference.

Geoff Russ: Sorry, progressives, Canada wasn’t ‘built on slavery’ like the U.S.

Spurred on by the so-called reckonings over racism in the United States and its legacy of slavery, many Canadian activists have attempted to import America’s divisive racial politics into Canada. However, examining slavery in Canada on its own terms and in good faith does not result in an identical discourse.

A report released Wednesday by the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy — titled, “Slavery in Canada: The Facts Rarely Told” — is a fascinating and grim study into the country’s dark history of trafficking in human beings.

Poll finds 51% of Canadians want aid sent to Cuba even if it angers U.S.

When it comes to Cuba, whose tourism has sunk due to a U.S. oil blockade, just over half of Canadians say to send aid even if the U.S. might not like it.

This according to a new Angus Reid poll that found 51% of Canadians want Canada to provide aid while 31% believe maintaining positive relations with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is more important.

The entirety of those polled was Justin and and his brother.

Why is this alleged Toronto hit man being extradited to the U.S. over a Canadian murder? Defence presses court over Ryan Wedding co-accused

A lawyer for a small-time Toronto criminal facing extradition to the U.S. for allegedly murdering an enemy of Ryan Wedding’s cocaine empire is asking the Attorney General of Canada to disclose key evidence behind what he says is an entirely made-in-Canada investigation.

The defence request on Thursday casts a spotlight on a question that’s been at the forefront of other Ontario court proceedings in the sprawling FBI-led case: Why would someone like Malik Cunningham be extradited to the U.S. over an alleged offence against a Canadian victim that happened on Canadian soil — and was investigated by Canadian authorities?

No need to go Elbows Up over a criminal is there?

Canada’s unwillingness to deport violent criminals is part of a much bigger problem

If it weren’t for this newspaper you’re reading right now, you wouldn’t know about a lot of absolutely bananas criminal-justice and immigration-related stories in this country. But even Toronto Star readers are getting a window into the madness this week, via its sister paper the Hamilton Spectator. Readers learned that one Erik Kalanyos, who is now 29, has been identified as the suspect in the murder of Daniel Musafiri, who was then 29, outside a Hamilton billiards parlour in December 2023.

Man accused in Hamilton killing was under deportation order — but never removed

Three years before Daniel Musafiri was killed outside a Hamilton billiards bar, the man police allege pulled the trigger was ordered deported because of convictions for serious crimes.

But Erik Kalanyos, now 29, never left Canada.

The deportation order alone was not enough to remove him. Under Canadian immigration law he is a protected person because he came here with his family 25 years ago from Hungary as a refugee.

“Canadian man” Mohamed Mohamed charged with terrorism after machete attack at Kenya mosque

NAIROBI – Police in Kenya say a Canadian man accused of wielding a machete and injuring almost half a dozen people at a mosque in Nairobi has pleaded not guilty.

The East African country’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations says the 32-year-old appeared in court Thursday on nine terrorism charges, such as assault causing actual bodily harm.

He clearly internalized the White Man’s racism and Islamophobia.

Trump Derangement Syndrome… Canadian style

For the most part, I avoid conversations about Donald Trump…because none of them are worth having. In all honesty and I’ve said this time and time again, I can’t stand to listen to the man speak.

While there is some amusement in watching liberal heads exploding when he talks…I don’t need to actually listen to him to get the full effect…and this isn’t solving any of our problems.

A good rant that will offend the Elbow people.

Peter MacKinnon: University of Austin exposes everything wrong with Canadian universities

While Canadian universities drown in cancel culture, identity quotas and self-censorship, the University of Austin delivers excellence

Few Canadians have heard about the University of Austin but that may change as the university’s experiment in the post-secondary environment continues.

This writer visited the university in the Texas capital in March and spoke with the president, his academic and staff colleagues, and a student who stepped away from exam time to share her perspective on the school. It was clear that all were attracted to UATX by a commitment to innovation in post-secondary education.

‘I was lynched’: Why astronaut Julie Payette flamed out as governor general

Once a friend of the former astronaut-turned-viceregal, John Fraser describes how Julie Payette crumbled into “perpetual petulance,” in this excerpt from his new book, The Governors General: An Intimate History of Canada’s Highest Office.

It should not have ended this way. It should have ended with a national celebration of an amazing, vibrant, and still young woman who managed to surmount all the challenges in a mostly male world; who managed to storm through a mostly male engineering school right up to the day she graduated summa cum laude; who managed to get through mostly male selection and training at the Canadian Space Agency; and ultimately, who managed two trips to outer space with mostly American male crews at NASA. As if all that were not enough, she also managed to crown this extraordinary record by being appointed governor general, the highest and noblest position Canada has to offer its most outstanding citizens.

Jamie Sarkonak: Serving Starbucks in English might be ‘racism,’ Saskatchewan court says

Human rights commission must reconsider case of woman who was refused service in Tagalog

In Saskatchewan, the authorities are currently deciding whether to treat Tagalog like an official language.

It all started at the Starbucks in Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital. Vanessa Casila, a Filipina woman, tried to order in Tagalog. The employee taking her order refused, saying she would receive a formal reprimand from the manager if she went along with it. Casila then filed a human rights complaint, claiming that the “English only” policy amounted to discrimination based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, and nationality.
