Former President Joe Biden’s administration oversaw an unprecedented wave of migration across the southwestern border of the United States. Migrants convoyed in “caravans” in hopes of overwhelming border authorities. Cartels trafficked drugs and people in droves. At some points, American authorities estimated that more than 130,000 people were crossing into the U.S. each month; arrivals came not just from Latin America but every corner of the earth.
It’s time for Prime Minister Mark Carney to fire Christiane Fox before she becomes a stain on his own reputation.
The deputy minister at the Department of National Defence broke a key ethics rule, offered a lame defence of her actions, and doesn’t seem to understand why helping an acquaintance get a job in her department is a problem.
Does that sound like the sort of person who should be heading a major federal department?
If you listen to the mainstream media, you might come away with the impression that Iran is somehow prevailing — resilient, defiant, and still shaping events across the Middle East. The narratives often suggest that the US campaign has failed and that Tehran remains firmly in control. In reality, however, US President Donald J. Trump has pursued a strategy that departs radically from decades of precedent — one that has left the Iranian regime cornered in ways not previously seen.
With Liberal MPs holding a majority of seats in the House of Commons, government House leader Steven MacKinnon moved a motion on Thursday that would see that majority reflected in the allotment of seats on House committees.
This would be an entirely unremarkable development — the sort of procedural housekeeping that occurs at the start of each Parliament — except for the fact that it was happening a year after the last general federal election.
It is for that reason — and for the remarkable events that have transpired over the last 12 months — that the change to committees was not simply waved through the House this week with unanimous consent.
An immediate election call after a floor crossing may dampen the enthusiasm.
The withdrawal of an appeal for a new trial from the convicted crypto-mogul Sam Bankman-Fried signals that his quest to exonerate himself from behind bars is a daunting one — even as he maintains his innocence and presses his appeal along other channels.The retrial request, formally known as a Rule 33 motion, was filed in February. Rule 33 motions allow for defendants to request a new trial based on newly discovered evidence or fundamental unfairness.
Sam Altman, the chief executive officer of OpenAI, has formally apologized for his company’s role in the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.
The apology was requested by B.C. Premier David Eby, who met with Mr. Altman and Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka last month to discuss the Feb. 10 shooting that left nine people, including the shooter, dead.
Award-winning French director Mathieu Kassovitz is embracing AI and predicts that “in two years from now nobody will care” if actors are real or AI.
Kassovitz arrived on the scene as a respected international filmmaker 30 years ago with his 1995 masterpiece La Haine, a critical and financial hit that won him the Best Director prize at that year’s Cannes Film Festival.
So long as the AI creations refrain from calling me a racist because I didn’t vote as instructed I won’t care.
The Trump administration is now offering Canadian and Mexican aluminum and steel companies immediate tariff relief if they commit to moving production to the United States in the future.
The U.S published the notice on Thursday during a tense week that saw both American and Canadian officials publicly air their grievances.
“It’s a very aggressive tactic by the United States,” said international trade lawyer William Pellerin. “This really reinforces the approach that we’ve seen from the United States for a while now, which is simply: We win if you lose.”
It’s worth noting that the SPLC is getting a full-court defense from Pravda for a reason: the driving narrative about Donald Trump, political violence, and the need for a censorship infrastructure in the United States is largely buttressed by references to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Map.”
All the major news organizations rely heavily on the SPLC to tell them whom to slander; the US government partnered with the SPLC to determine whom to investigate; social media companies turned to the SPLC for advice on whom to censor; and public school curricula are designed around SPLC talking points.
Three young men face charges – and a handgun has been seized – in connection with a shooting in Scarborough two months ago.
Toronto Police say officers responded to a shooting call in the area of Kennedy Rd. and Antrim Cr. – north of Progress Ave. – around 10 p.m. on Feb. 20.
Said Jama Ahmed might not be walking the plank, but the Somali pirate definitely needs to be shipped out of our country.
Ahmed, in fact, has a history with the U.S. military and federal immigration enforcement, as the Navy caught him committing piracy in the Gulf of Aden back in 2012, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) later caught him here in 2024 after he illegally entered our country. It appears authorities removed him, but he returned to try to enter America from the north instead of the south. Apparently, piracy wasn’t the lucrative profession he thought it would be, so he decided to sneak into our country and rob American taxpayers instead.
We’ve been warned for months that Canada faces exceedingly tough talks on renewing the CUSMA/USMCA trade deal. With Donald Trump blowing off the importance of Canada (“we don’t need anything they have”), it was shaping up as a cage match at the negotiating table.
As of this week, though, we face the very real possibility of an even more ominous prospect as the July 1 date for agreement or not-agreement on re-upping CUSMA approaches: no talks at all.
Imams in West Portray Khamenei as Victim, U.S. as Perpetrator
In the wake of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death as the result of joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes against Tehran on February 28, 2026, various Shia Islamist institutions and figures in Western countries have issued statements of mourning that frame his death as an act of “martyrdom” and express solidarity with the Islamic Republic—even after U.S. troops were attacked, and in some instances, killed by Iranian ordnance. Such responses, often from registered charities, student groups, and community centers, portray Khamenei—who led a brutal regime that has murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens—as a victim and the United States as under the control of the Jews.
People based in the Netherlands are behind several YouTube channels that promote Alberta separatism but are fronted by hired actors, according to an investigation by CBC News’s visual investigations team and Radio-Canada’s Décrypteurs.
CBC News identified three individuals in the Netherlands whose digital trail links them to accounts that hired actors to appear on the YouTube channels. Two of them attended the same online course that teaches customers how to create “faceless” YouTube channels that generate passive income for the creators, who remain in the shadows.
There had been little hope for any diplomatic breakthroughs this weekend. Now, what little there was is gone entirely.
The proposed US delegation, led by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, already lacked the weight of the vice-president. JD Vance was “on standby”, but was not going to be initially involved.
The fact that even the lower-level team have now cancelled their trip is a sign of how far apart the sides are.
