The United Nations General Assembly has voted to recognise the enslavement of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity”, a move advocates hope will pave the way for healing and justice.
The resolution – proposed by Ghana – called for this designation, while also urging UN member states to consider apologising for the slave trade and contributing to a reparations fund. It does not mention a specific amount of money.
Newly released RCMP Security Service files reveal that it amassed more than 900 pages of intelligence on the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) over more than a decade.
The files are among those obtained by CBC Indigenous through multiple Access to Information requests. They reveal how Canada’s Cold War-era domestic intelligence agency kept close tabs on hundreds of individuals and 30 Indigenous political organizations, under an umbrella concern about “Native extremism” through the late ’60s to early ’80s.
Last year the Trump administration designated Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) as a terrorist group, allowing the military to carry out strikes against it and its leadership, but the massive drug cartel across the border understands the weaknesses of our system all too well.
That’s why its new leader has American citizenship.
Organizers of the coming FIFA World Cup have begun cancelling thousands of their hotel-room bookings in Toronto, Vancouver and other host cities across North America, a move industry observers say is not uncommon during large events.
The British Columbia Hotel Association said FIFA organizers have cancelled between 70 per cent and 80 per cent of their booked hotel rooms in Vancouver, accounting for roughly 15,000 hotel-room nights during the tournament period between June 11 and July 19. Those freed-up rooms can now be booked by regular travellers, the association said.

GENEVA (AP) — Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women’s events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday which aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
“Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females,” the International Olympic Committee said, to be determined by a mandatory gene test once in an athlete’s career.
OTTAWA – Nearly half of those who voted for the federal NDP at least once over the past four elections don’t recognize the names of the five current leadership candidates, a new poll suggests.
The Angus Reid Institute surveyed 1,100 Canadians who voted for the NDP at least once between 2015 and 2025. It was conducted online so can’t be given a margin of error.
A Department of Justice spokesperson said on Wednesday that the settlement had redressed a “historic injustice”.
“Those who instigated the Russia Collusion Hoax and Crossfire Hurricane abused their power to mislead the American people and tarnish the reputations of President Trump and his supporters,” the DOJ spokesperson said, referring to the FBI’s investigation inquiry into Russia’s attempts to meddle in the 2016 election.

Justice Minister Sean Fraser, who was in charge of immigration during some of the years Auditor General Karen Hogan found instances of fraud in Canada’s international student program, said with hindsight, he would have acted sooner to fundamentally change it.
The Opposition Conservatives have been calling for his resignation, along with that of current Immigration Minister Lena Diab and Fraser’s immediate successor Marc Miller, from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet.
British Army soldiers have been reprimanded for lampooning the low morale among troops amid warnings from the top brass that they would likely be wiped out if a major war broke out.
A British Army Major was “summoned for a telling off” after it was revealed that he created a satirical song reflecting on the official position of senior officers that, should a big war come, they in the “first echelon” would have to be quickly replaced with new recruits if the country had a hope of winning the conflict.
Cracking little tune, the army needs to get a sense of humour. Surely being a captain must be depressing enough without a little light relief? https://t.co/Bir5yom1Vi pic.twitter.com/FFnrdmxnh6

Just as turkeys don’t vote for Christmas, it would be unreasonable to expect Canada’s chicken farmers to elect for more open trade with the world’s major poultry exporter.
The chicken sector is, after all, one of this country’s supply-managed industries. It’s protected from most foreign competition, ostensibly in the name of domestic food security but also, whisper it, to ensure extremely healthy returns for producers.
With so much news—especially Middle East news—it was easy to miss this.
According to the outgoing CEO of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for the Palestinian People, Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA is on the verge of collapse.

It’s the first time Mike Duheme acknowledged reporting by CBC Indigenous concerning RCMP surveillance activities dating back to the late 1960s against Indigenous leaders and organizations.
“We recognize the serious concerns that this history continues to raise for Indigenous Peoples, families and communities across Canada,” Duheme wrote in a statement published Wednesday.
Have you ever wondered why Joe Biden and the Democrats were so insistent that Congress send endless billions to Ukraine? Well, new declassified intel drops a bombshell that raises some troubling questions about it, and it stinks to high heaven.
In 2022, U.S. spy agencies discovered Ukrainian officials were plotting to divert hundreds of millions in American taxpayer cash meant for clean energy projects to Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
