The latest annual audit of antisemitic incidents in Canada shows an increase of almost 10 per cent since last year, driven by a spike in online harassments even as incidents of violence and harassment fell slightly.
B’nai Brith Canada’s League for Human Rights released its annual audit on Monday, documenting 6,800 incidents of antisemitism across the country, equivalent to an average of 18.6 incidents per day. This is the highest volume recorded since the audit began in 1982.
Will net zero migration make us all poorer? If you believe the latest “analysis” by Oxford Economics, it “risks blowing a £700bn hole in the economy by 2026”.
In an echo of the Brexit campaign, the report is being used to challenge Reform’s plans to transform the British immigration system, reverse the post-Covid migration wave and end Indefinite Leave to Remain. Unfortunately for open-borders advocates, the analysis doesn’t add up.
One very obvious weakness is that it is solely concerned with GDP, rather than GDP per capita. The difference is that GDP measures the size of the whole economy, whereas GDP per capita tells us the average economic output per person. Per capita is a much better measure of how rich a country and its people are.
Canadians want the government to purchase the best fighter jets for the nation’s air force instead of prioritizing the option that generates the highest number of jobs, a new study suggests.
The Liberal government announced in 2023 its decision to procure 88 F-35 jets from Lockheed Martin to update Canada’s aging CF-18 Hornet fleet. But Prime Minister Mark Carney asked for a review of the deal in March 2025 while the trade dispute between Canada and the United States was in its beginning stages.
US is being ‘humiliated’ by Iran’s leadership, says Friedrich Merz
The US is being “humiliated” by Iran’s leadership, according to Friedrich Merz, Germany’s chancellor, who suggested the Trump administration was being outwitted at the negotiating table by Tehran.
Two days ago Donald Trump cancelled a trip by US negotiators to Islamabad for indirect talks with an Iranian delegation. A previous round in the Pakistani capital two weeks earlier, when JD Vance, the American vice-president, led the US delegation, broke up without progress.
Merz’s trenchant assessment of the stalled US-Iranian talks, which appeared certain to deepen the severe transatlantic rift between the US and its Nato allies, directly contradicts Trump’s effort to cast the limbo in a positive light.
Rogers Communications Inc. is offering voluntary departure packages to 50 per cent of its employees, the largest round of buyout offers in the sector in recent years as telecom revenue growth has slowed across the industry and as companies look to shed costs.
On Monday, Rogers said that about half of its 25,000 employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages, but did not say whether it had a reduction target.
No indication yet of what role AI may have played in the decision.
When I closed my Rogers account they forced me to speak with a member of their ‘Customer Loyalty” team who as I found out was located in the Philippines.
King to defend ‘democratic values’ as US state visit begins
King Charles and Queen Camilla have arrived in the US at the start of a four-day state visit – the first since Queen Elizabeth II’s visit in 2007.
They arrived at Andrews military airbase in Maryland before being greeted at the White House by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Security is extremely tight after the shooting incident in Washington DC at an event attended by the president on Saturday.
King Charles will address the US Congress on Tuesday and it is expected that he will express sympathy over the attack.
When Prime Minister Mark Carney won government last year, several issues important to Canadians were awaiting his immediate attention.
And while it seems many Canadians think he and his cabinet have done a respectable job addressing some, a new Angus Reid Institute (ARI) poll shows the priorities at the top of most voters’ minds, including those of Liberal balloters, are not getting the attention they deserve in Ottawa.

Immigration influencer apologises after backlash over video saying that ‘children are money trees in Canada’
CALGARY — A Nigerian-Canadian social media influencer has apologised following backlash after she made a video saying that children are “money trees in Canada.”
In the original video, Ebunoluwa Oluwole Sofolahan, of Toronto, who has multiple accounts across multiple platforms, talks about the money you can potentially receive from the government by having kids in Canada.
First it was Butler, Pennsylvania. Then it was Palm Beach County (twice). And now, in Washington, D.C., Americans witnessed yet another significant attempt on President Trump’s life.
During this past weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a lone gunman stormed past “security” with the alleged goal of killing Trump and high-level members of his administration. Identified as a California resident and a reported Democrat donor, the suspect bears all the hallmarks of someone indoctrinated by the left’s media/online disinformation ecosystem — the same ecosystem that regularly slanders Trump and his supporters as “Nazis,” “threats to democracy,” and “literally Hitler.”
BANGKOK/TORONTO — When Thai police pulled over a white Suzuki moving through Bangkok’s busiest shopping districts last August, the officers trailing it were already receiving the proof on their own phones — fake banking alerts, broadcast live by the hardware in the trunk of the car ahead of them.
As many have noted in recent years, Christianity in the West is in decline, and a principal reason is that the “muscular Christianity” of a bygone era has been watered down by an infiltration of Progressives determined to weaken Christian morality by making it more “tolerant” and “inclusive” of Left-wing causes such as gender ideology and the feminist siege of the “patriarchy.”
It’s the third time this popular Jewish gift shop has had its windows smashed by rocks.
But the owner of Aleph Bet Judaica store on Bathurst St. in North York said he will do what he did the last two times: He’s putting in a new window.
People are bemused that the man who allegedly rushed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with all guns blazing was a teacher. Why? It should be common knowledge by now that a not insignificant number of American teachers go weak-kneed for a spot of political violence. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September last year, teachers all over America were sacked or placed on leave for dancing on his grave before it had even been dug.
