The police will be there immediately – in more than two hours

Last year, a Toronto police officer speaking at a community event suggested that residents leave their car keys by their front door to avoid violent confrontations with potential home invaders. The implication was that break-and-enters in the area were simply going to happen – home invasions and auto theft occurrences had risen 400 per cent the previous year, according to the Toronto Police Service – so it was best to give the criminals what they wanted: your car.

Warnings to President Trump on the Future of Gaza

The Trump administration is being sent early warnings of the priorities of its possible “partner,” Qatar, for the future of the Gaza Strip.

“His Excellency” Mohammed al-Rumaihi, Qatar’s former ambassador to the United States, and former Minister of Municipality and Environment, noted on July 5 that he is concerned about “keep[ing] the Palestinian cause alive – and its people,” and slammed Israel:

“No major capital—neither Beijing, nor Moscow, nor Washington—has labelled the Gaza campaign as ‘systematic killing,’ let alone moved to punish Israel under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.”

You are not left to guess which side of the conflict he is on.

André Pratte: A welfare state that Quebecers can’t afford

School boards, teachers and parents are furious with François Legault’s government for cutting $570 million from the province’s current year education budget.

Services to students, they argue, will inevitably suffer. The cutbacks having been announced without warning, the anger is understandable. However, Quebecers would do well to get used to such financial restrictions: the province’s fiscal situation is dire, and at this stage, there is no other choice but to slow the rise in expenditures, especially for the two largest parts of the budget by far, that is health care (44 per cent) and education (15 per cent).

Morning Joe Flip Out: ICE Arrests Are ‘Racial Profiling,’ ‘Kidnapping’

The left-wing media’s hysteria revolving around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s arrests and deportations nationwide had cranked up to the next level. On Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend Symone Sanders-Townsend claimed people will see “racial profiling” as ICE continued to uphold the law. Meanwhile, another claimed ICE was “kidnapping” people.

Co-anchor Jonathan Lemire framed the segment around fear of “high profile clashes” in “Democratic controlled cities” in the country, where ICE was focusing their efforts.

Canada’s EV mandate directly benefits Musk. He’ll lose big if it’s dropped.

OTTAWA — Canada’s electric vehicle mandate is under fire from Washington — and if it falls, one of the biggest losers could be Elon Musk.

That’s because the mandate, a climate change policy from the Justin Trudeau era, requires carmakers to hit 20 percent EV sales by 2026, or else buy credits from companies that have exceeded the goal. In Canada, that means they have to buy credits from Tesla, because it only sells EVs.

The Eco-Fanatics must be so torn.

In India’s deportation drive, Muslim men recount being tossed into the sea

SATKHIRA, Bangladesh — Indian police dragged Hasan Shah from his bed in western India one morning in late April. Later, he said, officers bound his hands with rope, placed a blindfold over his eyes and put him on a boat bound for Bangladesh.

After three days at sea, Shah said, they stood him on the edge of the vessel with a life vest, untied his hands, uncovered his eyes and gave him a final order at gunpoint: “Jump into the water,” Shah remembered the officers saying.

“If you look back, we’ll shoot you.”

Shocking.

Canada sees U.S. asylum claim surge as both nations harden borders

A growing number of migrants in the U.S. are heading north to seek asylum, even as Canada adopts increasingly restrictive immigration policies of its own.

During the first six days of July, Canadian officials at the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle border crossing — the busiest land port between New York and Quebec — received 761 asylum claims, a more than 400% increase from the same period a year ago, according to data from the Canada Border Services Agency. The number of claims at the crossing rose 128% in June and is up 82% since the start of the year.

Brace for layoffs, budget watchdog says, as Carney government aims to slash spending by $25B

OTTAWA — The Liberal government wants to find roughly $25 billion in annual savings from the federal budget within the next three years, the Star has confirmed, a higher than expected target that the independent Parliamentary Budget Officer says will likely require civil service layoffs and cuts to funding for outside organizations.

The clarity about the goal of the government’s incoming expenditure review — two days after it first became public — sheds new light on how Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is aiming for almost twice the level of internal “savings” than the Liberals promised during the spring federal election campaign.

This does not appear to be the massacre the media is hyping it to be.

Germany: Youth Gang Terrorizes Small Town, Vigilante Patrol Group Forms To Protect Children

The small German town of Harsefeld is grappling with a severe breakdown of public order, as a youth gang’s reign of terror has led to hospitalizations, extortion, and drug dealing.

CHARLEBOIS: How politics is inflating the price of your coffee

Ground coffee prices in Canada have surged by 19% since the start of 2025, according to Statistics Canada — making it one of the fastest-rising food items on grocery store shelves this year. Many consumers may attribute the spike to global market volatility, especially after coffee futures soared to a record high of over US$4.40 per pound in February. But that explanation no longer holds as futures have since dropped by more than 30%, yet retail prices remain stubbornly high. So, what’s driving this divergence?
