A 27-year-old man from Mississauga, Ont., currently serving a US prison sentence for his role in a foiled 2016 terrorist plot, has pleaded guilty to stabbing two correctional officers with a weapon fashioned from a steel desk inside his cell.
The US Department of Justice confirmed Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy’s guilty plea in a news release Tuesday, detailing the Dec. 7, 2020, incident at United States Penitentiary Allenwood in Pennsylvania.

VANCOUVER — Border officers at Vancouver International Airport have intercepted more than half a tonne of cocaine and methamphetamine bound for Australia, a near record-breaking haul that underscores the deepening role of British Columbia as an export hub in global drug trafficking.
According to the Canada Border Services Agency, officers discovered 560 kilograms of narcotics concealed within a shipment of car parts during a September 3 inspection. The cache included 319 kilograms of cocaine packed into 300 compressed powder bricks and 241 kilograms of methamphetamine sealed in 110 vacuum-packed bundles.

When the pitcher, batter, catcher, umpires and video-replay officials all have no idea what the call should be, that means it’s time to fix the rule book.
The Auditor General’s report on Canada Revenue Agency call centres shows that taxpayers don’t understand what’s going on and neither do the tax collectors because the rules are impossibly complex. The government needs to change the rule book by simplifying the tax code.
When Russian bombs and missiles started raining down on Kyiv, all Oleh Chernenko and his wife could think of was getting their four children to somewhere safe. Now, three years later, their kids are still their priority.
After making an escape out of Ukraine to the Czech Republic in a minivan with a big sign reading “CHILDREN” on the windshield, the family eventually flew to Toronto in November 2022 under Ottawa’s emergency travel program for Ukrainians fleeing the war.
What was supposed to be a temporary stay has turned into indefinite displacement in Canada, with no end in sight to the conflict and little prospects of acquiring permanent residence here.
Over 100K of Ukraine fighting age males have fled since Zelensky eased border restrictions a couple of months ago.
Statistics Canada has disciplined 72 employees over the past year — including 15 who were fired — in what the agency calls an effort to improve accountability and transparency across the public service.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the figures were revealed in the agency’s first-ever Report On Misconduct And Wrongdoing, which also detailed 21 harassment complaints and 31 cases of lost or stolen government property, mainly cellphones and laptops.

Despite promising a “very different approach” to fiscal policy during the election, the cracks are clearly showing as the Carney government gears up to release its first budget on Tuesday.
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne has said “Canada should be prepared for a generational investment.” This is among many attempts by the government to spin the upcoming budget – which will include high spending, huge deficits and massive debt accumulation – as something different from what we experienced under Justin Trudeau. Make no mistake, similar to the fiscal plans of his predecessor, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget will burden Canadians for generations.
It’s a crappy time to be in Canada doubly so for the young.
OTTAWA — For many students across Canada, affordability is top of mind when it comes to the federal budget set to be tabled on Tuesday.
That includes Graham Baskin, a student at Carleton University. After Prime Minister Mark Carney told university students that Canadians should be ready for “challenges” and “sacrifices” in a speech last month outlining his priorities for the upcoming budget, Baskin said he is worried for his future.
A new Canada Post stamp paying tribute to Sikh Canadian soldiers was unveiled Sunday at the 18th annual Sikh Remembrance Day ceremony at Mount Hope Cemetery in Kitchener.
The stamp honors the service and contributions of Sikh soldiers in the Canadian military dating back to the First World War.
Sandeep Singh Brar, curator of Sikh Museum.com, says the stamp is more than just a tribute to the soldiers.
… During the First World War, only 10 Sikhs were permitted to serve in the Canadian army.
… “Thousands of Sikhs at the time tried to join, but they were turned away. They were told that ‘Sorry fellas, this is a white man’s war,'” Brar said.
We’re so racist we have to consider measures to deal with Visa fraud from India, not to mention Khalistani terrorists
Ottawa seeking mass visa cancellation powers to deter fraud from India: internal documents
The federal government is seeking the power to cancel applications for groups of visa holders at least in part due to concerns of fraud from India and Bangladesh, according to internal documents obtained by CBC News.
A departmental presentation to the immigration minister’s office said that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and unnamed U.S. partners are aiming to identify and cancel fraudulent visitor visa applications.
Last month, the Ahlul-Bayt Mosque, a prominent Shiite Islamic centre in Windsor, Ont., held a memorial to mark the first anniversary of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s death. It was the second consecutive year the mosque — and its affiliated Islamic school — has celebrated the life of a dreaded militant whose organization is listed as a terrorist entity under Canadian law.
This was not a one-off incident. The mosque has previously hosted events glorifying the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khomeini and other Hezbollah “martyrs.”
Both Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump were in Asia. Prime Minister Carney visited Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea; he addressed the ASEAN Summit at his first stop. His address to the Association of South East Asian Nations lasted about five minutes.
His speech was generally meaningless, included buzzwords from the late-20th-century free-trade model with an ESG-DEI overlay. Such words as multilateralism, a rule-based system, sustainability, and inclusivity were sprinkled throughout. He repeated his “rupture” comment and, at times, seemed to plead.

There’s a growing trend in Canada — one that divides instead of unites, shames instead of inspires. We’re being told we “stole the land,” as if the people who built this country did so out of cruelty instead of courage. The truth is that history is never simple, and pretending otherwise doesn’t bring us closer together. It pushes us further apart.

Ontario’s third-largest school board released a report via email guiding staff on how to support Muslim students and challenge Islamophobia. The 39-page guide, produced in collaboration with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, has raised concerns from parents and policy experts about the growing influence of ideology and politics in schools.
Woke is fading here, but alive and well in Canada. The latest example comes from an apology, yes, another apology for whatever someone dead and buried did too many years ago.
Here is the story …
For outdoorsy pursuits, Canada is in the very top of the leagues. The best skiing in the world is arguably at Whistler near Vancouver; I was blown away by my childhood experience there, almost literally, for there is a constant barrage of fresh snow. It is generally very wintry in Canada and it is the world’s great ice hockey nation.
Nature is big and beautiful throughout the northernmost Commonwealth land in all seasons, and if you have disposable income, you can eat very well too. There is first-rate sushi, Franco-American dishes like the famous poutine, which is a mishmash of chips doused in meat and gravy, and craft beers galore. There is even a mini-slice of France, north American-style, in Montreal and Quebec, where the majority still speak French (for now).
