Which country—Canada or the United States—has the most crime?
Most Canadians would likely say the U.S. by a wide margin. But as noted in my new study published by the Fraser Institute, while overall crime rates in Canada are below rates in the U.S., when you look at individual cities it’s a different story.
No, I don’t expect Leftists to begin trying to blow up airplanes or skyscrapers–well, maybe smaller buildings and businesses–but I have been thinking about the strategy behind the leftist low-level terrorism campaign against conservatives, and there may be a similarity between al Qaeda’s strategy to defeat the West and Leftists’.
OTTAWA — With the Liberals enjoying a rare polling bump in Western Canada, some have wondered if the currently seatless Prime Minister Mark Carney could mount a run in his home province of Alberta in the imminent federal election, expected to be called just days from now.
North Korea has become the world’s third-largest holder of bitcoin after the governments of the United States and Britain, after the success of hackers stealing cryptocurrency in audacious online attacks.
According to data published by a cryptocurrency monitoring company, North Korea’s biggest and most successful cyber-hacking organisation, Lazarus, holds a total of 13,580 bitcoin, worth £886 million, after a record-breaking theft last month.
Russian agents researched fire protocols at a factory owned by a German arms firm shortly before it burst into flames last summer, The Telegraph can reveal.
Western officials have long suspected that the blaze, which broke out in May 2024 at a Berlin factory owned by the Diehl group, was the work of Russian saboteurs trying to disrupt the supply chain of arms deliveries to Ukraine.
But it can now be revealed that suspected Russian agents tried to find out information about fire safety measures around the site in the run-up to the incident.
OTTAWA — When Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hits the campaign trail in an imminently expected federal election campaign, he won’t be accompanied by a contingent of news outlets.
Media were notified Tuesday by Conservative National Campaign Director Jenni Byrne that reporters would be unable join Poilievre on his party’s bus or plane, “though we welcome and encourage participation at all public events,” Byrne’s email read.
The Liberals and New Democrats have confirmed that media will be permitted to join their leaders on their cross-country election tours.
Meanwhile Carney the Prick … ly
Mark Carney risks getting ‘hammered’ for prickly response to questions about his finances, experts say
OTTAWA — Pressure over Mark Carney’s personal finances isn’t going away.
At this point, he might be making it worse.
For weeks, the opposition Conservatives have dogged Carney with criticism over his refusal to publicly disclose details of his sizable personal assets and show how he will avoid conflicts of interest.
During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” President Donald Trump responded to Canada’s Liberal Party appearing to gain ground electorally by saying that “I think it’s easier to deal, actually, with a Liberal. And maybe they’re going to win, but I don’t really care. It doesn’t matter to me at all.” And Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre “said negative things. So, when he says negative things, I couldn’t care less.”
After Juno News broke the story that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s daughter is a writer who has publicly advocated for transgender procedures and identifies as “non-binary” yesterday, there has been an explosion of responses.
In 2014, a few years after the birth of her second child, Jenny left China to flee an abusive relationship and government persecution for violating the one-child policy. She brought her younger daughter to San Francisco and, though undocumented, found work at a childcare facility and eventually married a US citizen.
Because of extended delays in visa processing, her green card application remains in limbo after three years, but she’s never been particularly afraid of her immigration status. That is until Donald Trump won re-election last November, fueled in part by a promise to conduct the largest mass deportation program in US history.
Jenny – the Guardian is using an alias to protect her identity – said she had been afraid to go to work, buy groceries or even meet her friends outside. Her husband, she said, urged her not to leave the house unless absolutely necessary until her visa is approved. Many other Chinese immigrants in her community share her fears, she said.
The tightening of the polls in Canada signals a leap of faith by voters who were disenchanted with the candidates on offer and have been persuaded by the idea that Mark Carney is the Messiah.
But election campaigns are won by candidates who convince people they deserve supporters’ loyalty, support and, most importantly, trust.
The Conservatives are trying to torpedo the new prime minister’s trust-building by labelling him “sneaky” Mark Carney .
The success or failure of such attempts depend on whether the candidate validates the claims through their behaviour.
Ben & Jerry’s has said its chief executive, David Stever, was being removed by its parent company, Unilever, in a growing dispute over the ice cream company’s political activism.
The allegation was part of a legal case filed in a US court by Ben & Jerry’s that says Unilever violated a merger agreement by trying to silence its “social mission”.
Unilever did not immediately reply to a request for comment from BBC News.
It comes a month after the ice cream company accused Unilever of demanding that it stops publicly criticising US President Donald Trump.

The French government is reportedly planning to send a “survival manual” to every household in the country with instructions on how to prepare for an “imminent threat” including armed conflict, a health crisis or a natural disaster.
If approved by François Bayrou, the prime minister, the 20-page booklet will be sent to households before the summer, French media reported.
It will be divided into three parts with advice on how to protect “yourself and those around you”, what to do if a threat is imminent – with a list of emergency numbers, radio channels and a reminder to close doors and windows if the threat is nuclear – and details of how to get involved in defending your community, including signing up for reserve units or firefighting groups.
U.S. President Donald Trump may be having a cow over Canadian dairy, but it’s not the first time the U.S. government has complained about the industry’s protectionist policies.
In 2018, during his first term as president, the dairy industry was a target for an angry Trump, who railed against Canada for not allowing foreign competition in.
And he’s not far wrong, according to industry experts.
Across western democracies, upheavals in the US are prompting a startling realignment of ideas and of parties (Except post-national Canada)
One of the fascinating aspects of the French Revolution, as one convulsion after another swept France in the 1790s, was that it transformed the politics of other countries too.
Like the US today, France was, until then, seen as both the most powerful of all nations and the great upholder of the established order. The dramatic overturning of that order created admirers and enemies all over Europe with a profound effect on politics for generations: in Britain it broke the Whig party, led to Edmund Burke’s defining of conservatism and spurred the industrial and military prowess with which an enormous empire would be governed. Its effect on ideas — such as the whole concept of left and right wings in politics — endures today.
