Josh Dehaas: There’s no denying land acknowledgements are political

Last month, with the assistance of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, a group of University of British Columbia professors and a former student filed a lawsuit asking the B.C. Supreme Court to protect academic freedom by ordering the university administration to stop breaching its statutory duty to remain non-political: No more requiring fealty to DEI ideology from job applicants. No more statements about the Israel-Gaza war. No more land acknowledgements by the administration in academic settings where academic freedom is impinged.

Cory Morgan: Political Leaders Have a Tough Game to Play as Western Separatist Movement Gains Steam

Newly minted Prime Minister Mark Carney emerged relatively unscathed from his first meeting with President Donald Trump. Now, he must deal with a budding national unity crisis as separatist support in Western Canada has blossomed. If Carney had been hoping for a post-electoral grace period in office, those hopes have been dashed.

Video of Sean Combs to Play Central Role in Sex-Trafficking Trial

When Sean Combs goes on trial for sex-trafficking charges beginning this week, the case could turn on disturbing video footage that the rap impresario’s defense team fought to keep out.

The footage shows Combs assaulting and dragging an ex-girlfriend in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. Federal prosecutors say it backs up the allegations of the woman and three other alleged victims who are expected to testify that he abused, threatened and coerced them into participating in drug-fueled sex parties. Lawyers for Combs say the video has been distorted and taken out of context, but a judge denied their request to bar it from being shown to a jury.

Trump’s tariffs on Canada may stay, but stronger ties possible: U.S. envoy

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada may not be “totally removed” under a future trade agreement, the U.S. ambassador says, but the two countries are on the path toward a stronger relationship.

Pete Hoekstra, who serves as Trump’s envoy to Canada, says there are opportunities to secure new economic and security partnerships on the foundation set by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to the White House last week.

Recite Islamic verse or you’re dead — the Kashmir massacre retold

Dawn breaks in Hapatnar, a remote village filled with walnut growers and pony owners.

Naushad Hussain, 28, a taxi driver, wakes early, slips out of the family house into the cool mountain air and heads off to work. It is April 22, a Tuesday, in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

The 30km drive to Pahalgam, a bustling tourist town framed by the Himalayas, takes about half an hour.

Channelling Conservative anger actually worked for Pierre Poilievre. Does he really need to change gears now?

Susan Delacourt: One word leapt out at me in a piece you wrote for this paper last week, Matt, and it was this one: “killed.” As in, the Conservatives got killed in the election. I agree that their hopes got killed — especially the hopes they had when they were 20 points ahead of the Liberals. But here’s the thing: I’m not convinced Conservatives are staring down that reality. The early indications, in fact, point to more of the same from Pierre Poilievre and his team.

Matt Gurney: I was using that word more as a play on the phase “election post-mortem” than I was to describe what I think happened to them. I’ll confess something. I don’t know what to make of that election. It’s different from any other I’ve covered. Something wild I discovered when writing my column is that Poilievre got a bigger share of the vote this time than did the last five PMs to win a majority. So I can get why Tories might want to stay the course and write this one off as a fluke. They could be right. They could go wrong, though. Someone needs to be that guy in the room and get them thinking about that.

380,000,000 Christians Persecuted for ‘Their Faith’: Where Is the Outrage?

In 2024, around the world, 4,476 Christians — more than 12 a day on average — were “killed for faith related reasons.” Another 4,744 Christians were arrested or illegally detained, and 7,679 churches and other Christian institutions were attacked, often destroyed.

Overall, the global persecution of Christians has reached unprecedented levels. “More than 380m Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith,” according to the World Watch List 2025 (WWL) published earlier this year by the international human rights organization, Open Doors.

Every year, the WWL ranks the top 50 nations in which Christians are the most persecuted for their faith. The data is compiled by thousands of grassroots workers and external experts. The latest edition of the WWL covers October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

It’s time for Canada to get serious about defence spending

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first major test on the world stage came this week, when he met U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington. While the discussions covered a range of bilateral issues—from trade to energy cooperation—defence spending was also a focal point.

The United States has long pressed Canada to increase its military investment. The meeting brought renewed scrutiny of Ottawa’s commitment to its NATO obligations, with President Trump saying that he was pleased that Canada was beginning to spend more on defence.
