New federal data reveals a steady climb in criminal offenses targeting Germans based on their ethnicity. According to a government report requested by Alternative für Deutschland MP Martin Hess, authorities recorded 377 anti-German incidents in 2025. While this represents a modest 3.3% increase from the 365 cases in 2024, the long-term trend is stark: in 2019, there were fewer than a third as many cases (132).

“I think the customer has spoken. That’s the punchline,” said Jim Farley, the chief executive of Ford.
The American boss was speaking last week as his company unveiled a $5bn (£3.7bn) annual loss, barely two months after it had booked a shock $19.5bn write-down.
The cause? An aggressive bet on electric vehicles (EVs) that backfired spectacularly.
In 2025, sales of the Mustang Mach-E crossover and the F-150 Lightning pickup truck – once hailed by Farley as the “truck of the future” – went into reverse.

Our trailblazing Prime Minister was at the podium in Montreal. “Over the last few decades,” Mark Carney said, “Canada has neither spent enough on our defence nor invested enough in our defence industries.”
That has to change, he added, setting out plans for far more domestic spending on military hardware because “the assumptions that defined decades of Canadian defence and foreign policy have been turned upside-down.”

He left the police station under the cover of darkness. Slumped in the back seat of a car, wild-eyed and exhausted, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor looked like a man with the full weight of the past and the future on his shoulders.
A man born in a palace as Prince Andrew spent his 66th birthday at a police station on Thursday, becoming the first member of the Royal family in modern history to be arrested.
By nightfall, after nearly 12 hours in custody, he was released under caution with more questions to come. The magnitude of his fall from grace seemed etched on his face.
Epstein’s New Mexico Zorro Ranch was a 10,000-acre compound with its own mansion, runway, hangar, surrounded by wide-open desert that made escape impossible.

There are few things in politics more indecipherable or meaningless to the average Canadian taxpayer than a government announcing a 10-year plan, which is why Prime Minister Mark Carney keeps doing it.
Ten-year plans give the government lots of runway before it has to produce results.
The family of a 26-year-old Canadian man who was recently euthanized is speaking out against the law that allowed for his death after a doctor reportedly “coached” him on how to qualify for physician-assisted suicide.
As the renegotiation of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement looms, game theory suggests Ottawa may have to accept higher American tariffs and make previously unthinkable concessions.
The calculus has fundamentally changed. In previous negotiations, all three countries shared a commitment to the principles of free trade which ensured co-operative outcomes. Now, the United States sees trade through a different lens entirely, one revealed in recent trade deals and policy statements. And while dismissing anything from President Donald Trump’s administration has become fashionable, the logic of their position isn’t entirely without foundation.
Someone with common sense snuck into the Globe and slipped this in.
Maybe, just maybe, we owe defenestrated Liberal Party leader Sussan Ley a small apology. For her ‘out there’ views on numerology, if nothing else. After all, she was rolled as leader on Friday the 13th. I have no idea if she also foolishly walked under an upright ladder, then kicked a black cat while gazing into a broken mirror before heading to the partyroom spill vote. But come on Sussan with two ‘S’s! Even we sceptics of numerology know you should have made sure the spill was held on a different day of the month.
LONDON — British police have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly known as Prince Andrew — on suspicion of misconduct in public office, Thames Valley Police confirmed Thursday morning.
The arrest, believed to set a historical precedent in Britain, came on his 66th birthday. Officers were seen at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where the former prince has been living since being evicted from his sprawling royal residence. At least six unmarked police cars were photographed arriving at Wood Farm, his current residence on King Charles’s Sandringham estate, with around eight officers thought to be on site, the BBC reported. Searches were also conducted at an address in Berkshire, likely at the royal estate at Windsor where he previously lived.
