Get out.
You don’t expect to hear that message in a city known for its “come one, come all” attitude, but San Francisco’s fentanyl crisis is so severe that residents are feeling none too hospitable. The targets of their ire: drug dealers, most of them illegal immigrants from Honduras, who supply toxic substances to the thousands of addicts flooding the city, ushering in danger and chaos.
In the Thuringian city of Weimar, opposite the theatre where the National Assembly hashed out Germany’s constitution in 1918, stands the museum of the history of the Weimar Republic. ‘A spectre is rising in Europe – the spectre of populism,’ a plaque reads. ‘Forces long thought overcome seem to be returning to threaten the basis of democracy. The Weimar Republic and its neighbours knew the phenomenon only too well.’
Liberal prime-minister-in-waiting Mark Carney keeps insisting he’s not a politician, but he’s selling himself short.
Like any good Liberal politician, his position on carbon taxes is a hot mess of contradictions and on other issues he’s saying one thing to Quebec in French and another to the rest of Canada in English.
In 2006, after a Hezbollah invasion, Israel launched a military campaign against the Islamic terrorist group. After a month of fighting, the Bush administration forced a ceasefire under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that required the disarmament of Hezbollah and its replacement by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and a United Nations “peacekeeping” force.
How can Hezbollah claim victory, President George W. Bush wondered, when they were “going to be replaced by a Lebanese Army and an international force?”
It took a while for Canadian politicians to figure out that Donald Trump wasn’t joking with his talk about annexing Canada.
After Trump raised the idea at a dinner in Mar-A-Lago attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Nov. 29, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic Leblanc said the “joke” was actually a positive.
“The president was teasing us. It was, of course, in no way a serious comment,” LeBlanc said.
An Ontario man who was once Canada’s most wanted fugitive has been found guilty of manslaughter in the 2021 shooting death of a man in Toronto.
Justice Michael Brown delivered his verdict to Abilaziz Mohamed in a downtown Toronto courtroom Thursday morning, more than four years after he shot and killed Craig MacDonald outside a Boston Pizza in Scarborough.
Private Ri had the kind of dreams common to young men from educated families — to go to university, study and support his sick parents. Instead, he spent a decade as a conscript of the North Korean People’s Army.
Even as a skilled sniper in an elite unit, he endured extreme cold and harsh discipline. In ten years he did not once see his parents face to face. And, months from being discharged, he found himself sent to a place of unimaginable hardship — the front lines of Kursk, fighting alongside Russian soldiers against Ukrainian forces.
U.S. President Donald Trump won’t attend tonight’s politically-charged 4 Nations Face-Off final between Team USA and Team Canada, but he’s invited “Governor Trudeau” to watch it with him.
In a Truth Social post on Thursday morning, Trump said he would call the American squad to offer them a pep talk for the evening game at TD Garden in Boston.

Kashyap “Kash” Patel was confirmed to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in a 51-49 Senate vote Thursday, despite Democrats’ desperate attempts to block his nomination.
Patel, a former federal prosecutor and prior Trump administration intelligence official, won the vote without help from Republican Sens. Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK), who joined the Democrats against him.

OTTAWA — As Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promises to cut foreign aid that he says is flowing to “dictators and terrorists,” his office is silent as to whether that includes assistance to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
For more than a year, Poilievre has taken aim at Canada’s foreign aid spending when it comes to questions of how he would finance defence expenditures under a Conservative government should he win the next election.
Defense attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are reportedly arguing that federal prosecutors “singled out” the disgraced music mogul because he is black, and claim authorities have demonstrated “bad faith” and “racial animus” in handling the case.
Combs’ attorneys made these assertions in a new court filing seeking to dismiss the music mogul’s prostitution charge, according to a report by ABC News.
Should she win the current federal Liberal leadership contest, Chrystia Freeland is pledging to scrap a controversial division of the Canada Revenue Agency that Muslim charities and civil liberties advocates have long accused of discriminatory auditing practices, CBC News has learned.
Her campaign has yet to make an official announcement, but Thursday morning she signed and sent a letter about her plan to the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), one of Canada’s larger Muslim advocacy groups, about her plan to get rid of the Research and Analysis Division.
The RAD has been criticized by Muslim groups for unfairly targeting their work as it looks for sources of terrorism financing in the country. An intelligence review body, the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA), undertook a review of its activities in 2023, a probe that has yet to be completed.
