OTTAWA — First Nations youth leaders are warning Canadians can expect a long, tense summer of protests as governments push forward with plans to fast-track major projects — and young people will be leading the charge.
“You will see us in your cities, your city’s hubs,” said Ramon Kataquapit, a youth councillor with the Chiefs of Ontario and Nishnawbe Aski Nation and a member of Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario.

President Donald Trump has set a goal of deporting one million illegal immigrants a year during his second term in office, and according to new estimates based on Census Bureau data, it appears at least that many may have already left the country this year.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not normally issue its annual “Enforcement and Removal Operations Report” until December, so we will not have hard numbers for months, but all indications from other indirect data point to the conclusion that Trump has already made significant progress undoing President Joe Biden’s mass illegal migration.
Christine Miller has been a Grade One teacher with the Peel District School Board for the better part of a decade and while she earns close to $120,000 annually, she says she is living pay cheque to pay cheque.
Miller belongs to a rising number of middle-income households making up to $125,000 a year that are at risk of being squeezed out of the region, according to a report released by Civic Action this week.
Many members of the group, like Miller, have healthy salaries well over the median income for Toronto but are still struggling to stay afloat and have essentially become ‘the invisible poor,” Civic Action says.
I hope she didn’t vote Liberal or NDP and mass immigration.
In today’s TMI (Too Much Information) world, it seems as if it would be well-nigh impossible to have an old-time gossip dragon like a Louella Parsons holding deep, dark secrets and innuendos gleaned from ‘close associates’ over a celebrity’s head.
Are there any secrets anymore?
As the summer tourism season heats up and some Canadians choose to boycott U.S. travel, New England states and business owners want to draw Canadian tourists back.
Maine’s rugged coastline and sandy beaches have helped to earn it the licence plate slogan “Vacationland.” But this year, fewer Canadians are showing up.
David Rowland, co-owner of York Beach Beer Company, has noticed fewer Canadian licence plates and fewer Canadian surfers in York Beach.
I think of myself not so much as a car reviewer as an intimacy coordinator. Four out of five American households depend on an automobile to get to work, to get the kids to school, to go wherever. The typical driver spends about an hour a day in the car, says the AAA—more face time than many of us spend with our families. A good relationship starts with a good match.
Lately, though, Americans have been losing that car-loving feeling. Actually, they’re at the dish-throwing stage. Light-vehicle sales have fallen by about 1.7 million a year since 2016, reflecting the number of younger consumers declining the pleasures of ownership. Millions more remained trapped in toxic relationships with abusive elders. The average age of passenger cars on the road is currently 14.5 years, according to S&P Global’s data.
After four days in Israeli detention, Thiago Avila was relieved to be back in Brazil. He’d been taken into custody, along with 11 others, and spent two days in solitary confinement, after they’d tried to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza by sea. Their vessel, the Madleen, was intercepted leading to what he describes as a gruelling stay marked by inhumane treatment and a brief hunger strike.
And yet, he told CBC News from Sao Paulo, he chose to be detained rather than sign documents admitting to what he considered a false accusation — that they had tried to enter Israel illegally.

Almost two billion words — just under 600 of them swear words — were carefully assessed, and the United States then handed the dubious honor of being the most cursing country in the English-speaking world, at least online.
For the Australian duo behind the research, it came as a surprise that the inhabitants of their own country did not lead the way, such is the stereotype that Aussies are easy-going and relaxed, in actions and words.
But Australians were only the third-most likely citizens to drop a swear word in conversation online.
One of Canada’s intelligence agencies says it “improperly” shared information about Canadians that it had obtained “incidentally” with international partners.
The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) shared some details about the incident after the intelligence commissioner — the quasi-judicial position that reviews the cyber spy agency’s activities — flagged the case in his annual report tabled in Parliament earlier this week.
CSE spokesperson Janny Bender Asselin told CBC News that last year the agency had to notify the defence minister “of an incident where CSE improperly shared information.”
Pope Leo XIV has issued a stark warning regarding the potential negative impact of artificial intelligence on the intellectual, neurological, and spiritual development of young people.
The caution was delivered in a message to a major conference on AI and ethics.
The conference, which saw part of its proceedings held within the Vatican, underscored the Holy See’s growing concern over emerging technologies and their broader implications for humanity.
Will Pope AI The 1st be more or less fallible than humans?
On a recent mission to Israel, it broke my heart to hear a young Jewish Canadian question whether he had a future in Canada. One participant responded: “Only the Prime Minister of Canada can answer that.”
So, Prime Minister Mark Carney, I ask you plainly: Do Canadian Jews have a safe and secure future in this country? Because if the answer is yes — and I hope it is — then you need to start showing it. Now.
It will not get better.
Fiona Goddard was just 14 and living at a children’s home when she was targeted by a grooming gang based in Bradford.
She was plied with drink and drugs, repeatedly raped and “in effect used as a prostitute” before falling pregnant to one of her abusers, a court heard.
Nine Asian men were jailed for committing 22 offences against her in 2019, but six years on she believes predators continue to plague her home town.

Conservative members of Parliament voted with the minority Liberal government to pass its marquee major projects legislation Friday evening, setting it up to become law before Canada Day.
The legislation, also known as the one Canadian economy act, would allow the government to green-light a list of projects that have been deemed to be in the national interest, fast-tracking their approvals.
The Liberals have called it the core of the government’s domestic economic response to U.S. tariffs.
