Supreme Court won’t revisit request from four so called “Canadian” Muslims who joined ISIS currently held in Syria

OTTAWA — Canada’s top court will not reconsider pleas from four Canadian men detained in Syria for a hearing that could open a path to their freedom.

Last year the Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear the men’s challenge of a Federal Court of Appeal ruling that said Ottawa is not obligated under the law to repatriate them.

In a fresh notice filed with the court in March, lawyers for the men said exceedingly rare circumstances warranted another look at the application for leave to appeal.

A letter to the lawyers, dated last Friday, says the motion for reconsideration cannot be accepted for filing, leaving no further remedies in the top court.

‘Buckle up’ for a second Trump presidency, former U.S. ambassador tells Canada

Kelly Craft, Donald Trump’s former ambassador to Canada, says the country should prepare for what could be a more antagonistic bilateral relationship with the U.S. if her old boss wins Tuesday’s presidential election.

Trump’s focus on building up American manufacturing and making NATO allies spend more on defence means Canada would need to make some policy changes to stay in America’s good graces, Craft said.

“Canada, they need to buckle up, The whole world needs to buckle up because President Trump will continue his policies from 2016. We are going to make America great again and we will be bringing it back to where it was under the Trump presidency,” Craft told Radio-Canada.

Report: Russia plotted to start fires on planes bound for Canada and the U.S.

Russia plotted to put incendiary devices aboard passenger aircraft bound for Canada and the U.S., The Wall Street Journal is reporting.

The newspaper said Western security officials “believe that two incendiary devices, shipped via DHL, were part of a covert Russian operation that ultimately aimed to start fires aboard cargo or passenger aircraft flying to the U.S. and Canada, as Moscow steps up a sabotage campaign against Washington and its allies.”

How others see the new woke Canada

A seven-part series in London’s Daily Telegraph recently took a hard look at Canada’s lurch to the left, examining this country’s “progressive legislation on issues such as drugs, free speech, trans rights and assisted dying.”

The essays provide a unique perspective on this country — as others see us.

Following are links to each essay in the Telegraph’s series with the exception of Michael Coren’s contribution, just because.

Star publishes 4037th “Trump Bad Man” article

The worst parts of American politics are creeping into Canada. Here’s why

It is the question bedevilling progressive-leaning people north and south of the Canada-U.S. border throughout this raucous, election-filled fall — how has the race against the conservative right become so close?

You hear it from people voting for Democratic contender Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s presidential vote. How on earth is Donald Trump, a convicted felon, an election denier, the man who inspired a mob to stage a deadly riot on Capitol Hill four years ago, even a serious contender?

Poilievre calls on premiers to remove sales taxes on new homes under $1M

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Canada’s premiers to match his pledge to remove the federal sales tax on new homes under $1 million by doing the same with provincial sales taxes.

“This is a significant step in fixing what has been broken and making home ownership more than just a dream for young Canadians again,” Poilievre said in the letter to all provincial and territorial premiers, which was shared with CBC News.

“But there’s more that can be done, and you can help.”

BoC report shows resistance to digital currency among Canadians

A significant number of Canadians would likely reject the introduction of a digital Canadian dollar, according to a recent report from the Bank of Canada.

Blacklock’s Reporter says many citizens, particularly older Canadians and those wary of digital technology, expressed concerns about privacy, security, and government overreach, which they felt could be tied to the launch of a digital currency.

Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump had some bad moments and some oddly friendly ones — but here’s what will really matter if Trump is re-elected

OTTAWA — Word came unexpectedly in January 2017 that President Donald Trump wanted to talk to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Officials scrambled to connect the two leaders and racked their brains: what urgent matter had they not foreseen?

I doubt Trump will much care knowing Junior is on the way out.

India trashes Canada for linking home minister to Sikh activist plot

NEW DELHI – India officially protested on Saturday the Canadian government’s allegation that the country’s powerful home minister Amit Shah had ordered the targeting of Sikh activists inside Canada, calling it “absurd and baseless.”

Relations between the two countries soured after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last year there were credible allegations the Indian government had links to the assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. India has vehemently rejected the accusation.

Trudeau knowingly supports Khalistan militants in Canada, he does so to harvest the Sikh vote.

This whole affair is about Justin’s lust to remain in power.

How Rumble went from a family-friendly Canadian startup to a megaphone for U.S. election deniers

Steven Crowder has big plans for election night. The far-right commentator says he will livestream his show on the video-sharing platform Rumble until a winner is declared.

Crowder, who routinely airs debunked claims of voter fraud, believes that could take days or weeks, potentially making his the “longest-lasting election night livestream in internet history.”

He is promising the Nov. 5 show will highlight “election anomalies coast-to-coast,” reported to him by “undercover” journalists and volunteer poll watchers.

In a nutshell CBC sought out a bunch of far-left censorship proponents to validate their narrative.

MELANSON: If you like Hamas in Gaza, you’ll love Land Back in Canada

There was a minor uproar in Manitoba recently when a speaker invited to discuss “settler colonialism” at a Winnipeg School Division event announced to the assembled crowd of educators that, “Resistance To Colonialism Is Not Terrorism.”

School board officials quickly and dutifully apologized for such an outrageous claim.

Ottawa under pressure to give more Lebanese a safe haven in Canada

Ottawa is facing calls to expand a temporary immigration program that gives people who have managed to escape Lebanon a safe haven in Canada, with MPs and immigration experts saying the measures are too limited and leave relatives of Canadians in peril.

Earlier this week, the federal government announced a program that will allow Lebanese nationals and their immediate families to extend their stay in Canada so they can avoid the fighting between Israel and Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah that has escalated over the past five weeks.

No thanks, cancel that order.

Canada’s ‘Preppers’ Are Ready for Anything in Uncertain Times

CLOYNE, Ont.—The term “prepper” is not in every Canadian’s vocabulary. But when you pair it with “doomsday,” many people picture bomb shelters, canned goods, and post-apocalyptic fiction.

“I’m not a doomsday, apocalypse-type prepper,” said David Arama, as he sat in his lodge in Cloyne, a small village about three hours north of Toronto. A few paces away was the door to his concrete cellar stocked with food and water. He’s ready for almost anything, but not everything.

Five cities, including London, driving human trafficking in Canada: Report

London ranks among five metro areas in Canada that together account for nearly half of all human trafficking reports in the last decade, a new snapshot of the crime shows.

There were 570 cases of human trafficking reported to police in Canada last year, down slightly from 597 in 2022, according to a Statistics Canada report released Friday.

Despite the slight decrease in the latest human trafficking report, cases have been on the rise for the past decade, with more than four-fifths recorded in large urban areas, the report said.
