Shark or sea monster? The Canadian marine mystery that still intrigues experts 90 years on

Its head resembled a dog’s, its downturned nose a camel’s, and at the end of its reptilian body was the tail of horse. Witnesses say it was covered in a thin white film. When the remains of a strange creature were pulled from the stomach of a sperm whale, most of those present agreed: it was a sea monster – or at least something unknown living in the depths off Canada’s west coast.

Crews at the whaling station in the archipelago of Haida Gwaii assembled a platform of wooden boxes and laid out the 3-metre (10ft) carcass, using a white sheet to display the curiosity that had baffled veteran whalers.

Foreign actors targeting Alberta separatism to stoke discord, researchers say

Early this year, Canadian researchers who track online influence campaigns and foreign propaganda happened upon something peculiar. Using artificial intelligence to catalogue the activity of Russian websites and social-media accounts known to be spreading disinformation about the invasion of Ukraine, the researchers noticed a new topic suddenly garnering more attention than it ever had from those groups: Alberta.

My first suspect would be CBC.

Canadian intelligence intervened in seven violent threats motivated by Gaza war in 2025

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service investigated at least seven priority cases of radicals preparing to commit violence that were at least in part motivated by the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to the CSIS annual public report published on Friday, amid rising concern about religiously motivated violence in Canada.

BARCLAY: ‘Not American’ is now the sum total of Canada’s national identity

OTTAWA — Recently, Prime Minister Carney has publicly attacked and imploded every aspect of Canada’s historic relationship with the United States of America.

Unfortunately, Mark Carney’s incipient anti-American persona is a paradigm that the Liberal era has imposed upon all of Canada, and not merely the latest outpouring of Carney’s own personal vanity.

Scholar tracks uptick in Iran’s threats to diaspora in Canada, others question deporting official

OTTAWA – A scholar researching transnational repression says he’s seeing an uptick in Iran’s regime threatening diaspora in Canada.

University of Ottawa professor Thomas Juneau said at the start of the U.S. war on Iran that Tehran tends to target dissidents abroad when it feels threatened.

The Liberal Party has regime toadies sitting in Parliament.

Meanwhile in Alberta, Canada, They Just Gave Carney the One-Finger Salute

If Alberta could vote in U.S. elections, President Donald Trump would have won in a landslide there all three times he ran for the White House. Alberta is one of Canada’s 10 provinces and the closest thing the country has to a red state.

DHS Demanded Google Surrender Data on Canadian’s Activity, Location Over Anti-ICE Posts

The Department of Homeland Security tried to obtain a Canadian man’s location information, activity logs, and other identifying information from Google after he criticized the Trump administration online following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis early this year.

Lawyers for the man, who has not been named, are alarmed in part because they say that the man has not entered the United States in more than a decade. “I don’t know what the government knows about our client’s residence, but it’s clear that the government isn’t stopping to find out,” says Michael Perloff, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia who is representing the man in a lawsuit against Markwayne Mullin, the secretary of DHS, over the summons. The lawsuit alleges that DHS violated the customs law that gives the agency the power to request records from businesses and other parties.

I hope it was Avi Lewis or Chairman Chow!

Meanwhile Canada has a whole data base dedicated to crushing dissent.

💥Imagine this: One post about an MP gets flagged. The PPS quietly pulls your name and full social-media history from its database.

‘Crime has just blown out of control here’: The businessman challenging Hamilton’s NDP mayor

This fall’s Ontario municipal elections are shaping up as the most compelling in years, thanks to stark left-right battles.

Much of the conversation has centred around Toronto, where Councillor Brad Bradford is challenging NDP stalwart Olivia Chow over what he says is a city in quick decline. But TVO’s Steve Paikin has declared that Hamilton, Ontario’s fifth biggest city, may have the province’s best race.

Jamie Sarkonak: At a human rights tribunal, it’s better to be a transwoman

Human rights tribunals have drastically expanded society’s obligations to accommodate transwomen — but biological women seeking sex-based protections aren’t extended the same courtesy.

One of those regular women, known only as J, had moved into transitional housing on the women’s floor of a B.C. Salvation Army building back in the fall of 2020. She lived there for two years without issue, but when her tenancy ran out in 2022 and she hadn’t found a new place to live, the Salvation Army extended her term and offered to place her in a different building. The problem: that building was trans-inclusive. For this, J filed a human rights complaint.
