PETER DOOCY: “Tonight, we’re getting new details about that Trump-Trudeau dinner from two people who were at the table.

The 70th annual session of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, held Nov. 22-25 in Montreal, hit a snag on its first evening when violent activists tried to disrupt the event.
Metropolitan police were unprepared for the organized assault. So was Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who seems to have had no inkling of the possible security risks that a NATO summit in his country might present. No, the Canadian leader wasn’t out to lunch. He was at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto.
We often focus so much on the border between the United States and Mexico that it overshadows the one we share with our Canadian neighbors. The recent arrest of a suspected terrorist is a sobering reminder that it can be just as big of a national security threat. According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), 41-year-old Mohammed Hasan Abdellatif Albana was captured in Lynden, Washington. He was identified as a “known or suspected terrorist,” according to Fox News. While it’s not clear when he was apprehended, ICE deported him back to Jordan on November 15.
The numbers often aren’t strictly comparable, given differences in definitions, but rates of growth are, and they aren’t favourable
Here in Canada, with our mantra of “peace, order and good government,” we view our country as a peaceable kingdom marked by less crime than our American cousins, with their “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Much of our self-assurance on this point is because, as noted in a new study of mine published by the Fraser Institute, homicides rates have always been higher in the United States than in Canada.
TORONTO – The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily suspended accepting mail headed to Canada due to the strike by Canada Post workers.
It is asking customers to refrain from mailing items addressed to Canada, until further notice.
I realize small business hurts when CP goes on strike but I am also old enough to remember when a postal strike was a Big Deal in Canada.
Today? Not water cooler talk.
Agents of Indian government interfered in Patrick Brown’s Conservative leadership campaign: sources
Agents of the Indian government allegedly attempted to derail Patrick Brown’s campaign for the leadership of the Conservative Party in 2022, according to sources who spoke to Radio-Canada.
Brown’s national campaign co-chair, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner, allegedly was pressured to withdraw her support for Brown in the 2022 Conservative Party of Canada leadership race, confidential sources told Radio-Canada.
Rempel Garner categorically denies the allegation.
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. president-elect Donald Trump hail their surprise meeting in Florida on Friday night as “productive,” federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Trudeau came home empty-handed for Canada.
Poilievre made the comment Sunday in response to a reporter’s question about the Trudeau-Trump three-hour dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. The pair talked cross-border issues including Trump’s threat to slap massive 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian products being imported into the U.S.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his fellow provincial leaders are united in pushing for Canada to meet its NATO defence spending targets ahead of schedule, and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was “surprised” to hear it.
Ford — currently chair of the Council of the Federation of Canada’s Premiers — told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an exclusive Canadian broadcast interview airing Sunday that the premiers are making the ask amid U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s threats of new tariffs, and conveyed it to the prime minister in his meeting with the premiers last week.
It’s one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year, but for many Canadians, this year’s Black Friday deals may not arrive before Christmas – and that could be a death knell for already hard-hit small businesses.
Two weeks into a national postal service strike at Canada Post, and many businesses say they’ve suffered steep financial losses as customers have had to wait for their orders. Inventory sits in warehouses across the country and shipping costs have increased.
Lorne James, who owns Otter Valley Railway, a model train company in London, Ontario, estimates he’s lost C$120,000 ($85,600; £67,200) in sales since the strike began.
There is an old saying that when the United States sneezes, Canada catches a cold. Recent events in Canada, however, suggest that the US should immunize itself from a dangerously virulent virus that has swept across the nation — nowhere more so than in Montreal: Open Jew hatred.
According to the Toronto Sun, last year, Montreal has endured the most antisemitic hate crimes of any city in North America.
Indeed, since the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel, antisemitic incidents in Canada have increased by an astounding 670%.
Canadian Jews — a miniscule 1.4% of the nation’s population — were the victims of 70% of religious-based hate crimes during roughly the same period.
Young Canadians are the most supportive of China’s Communist government and are the most concerned that reports of Chinese government interference could lead to anti-Asian racism, according to a new report.
The survey, conducted by the not-for-profit Digital Public Square and the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy’s China Governance Lab, also revealed that young Canadians are the least satisfied with Canadian democracy and are less confident in their ability to express controversial political views freely compared to other age groups.
A survey conducted during a Globalist circle jerk? Seems Legit.
It was another distressing week for Canadian Jews and those alarmed by the rise of antisemitism in our common life and on our streets.
There was the violent riot in Montreal, where an amalgam of anti-NATO protesters and university student activists somehow managed to include Israel, Zionists, and Jews as targets of their graffiti, vandalism, and car-burning. Israel is not part of NATO and Zionism has nothing to do with tuition policy in Quebec.
They know the message they’re sending.
For years, Sally Lane and John Letts have feared their son Jack is dead—and no one has told them.
Their fears lingered in my mind as I travelled for days across a perilous region of northeast Syria, hounding Kurdish officials to honour their promise to let me interview him. By the fifth day, it became clear: they had no idea where their longest-serving foreign inmate was.
The wannabe suicide bomber is “Canadian” only because his dad is from here.
Britain revoked his citizenship. We should too.
If you’re out walking after a bad storm, you’re liable to come across a few trees with limbs that are just hanging on.
One scintilla of added pressure, one strong gust, and the branch breaks.
This is the fragile reality of Canada’s immigration system today. The storm was entirely of the federal Liberals’ making. The next one will be entirely out of their control.
Donald Trump said he had a “productive” meeting with Justin Trudeau after the Canadian prime minister paid a surprise trip to his Mar-a-Lago estate amid fears about Trump’s promised tariffs.
Trudeau became the first G7 leader to meet with Trump before his second term amid widespread fears in Canada and many other parts of the world that Trump’s trade policy will cause widespread economic chaos.
But Trump also seemed to double down on the threat, which he has frequently linked to trying to encourage other countries to combat drug smuggling into the US.
