Supreme Court nullifies Liberal MP’s election win by a single vote in Montreal-area riding

The Supreme Court of Canada annulled the results of a closely contested riding from last spring’s election on Friday.

The Montreal-area riding of Terrebonne was initially declared for the Bloc Québécois until a judicial recount found the Liberals had won the seat by one vote.

But Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, the Bloc candidate, called on the courts to annul the results and call a new election after CBC News reported that a voter had their mail-in ballot returned to them due to a misprint on the return envelope.


The CBC can’t seem to bring itself to say that the Liberal is tossed and a byelection will now have to take place.

Arizona sheriff denies report he blocked key Nancy Guthrie evidence from FBI

The Arizona sheriff leading the local investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s mysterious disappearance contradicted claims he withheld key evidence in the case from the FBI.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that contrary to reports, the FBI “agreed” with him that the evidence should be sent to a Florida lab for DNA analysis, instead of handing it over to the federal agency’s crime lab. The reports suggested the FBI disagreed with the decision to send gloves and other evidence to the private lab, but Nanos said after having a conversation on the best path forward, the agency was on board with the move. The claims that the sheriff’s office is thwarting the investigation in a power struggle are “not even close to the truth,” he told KVOA.

The Northwest Passage Will Be Decided by Capability, Not Law

Recent attention has focused on Greenland as a focal point of Arctic strategy, a reminder that geography once treated as peripheral now sits squarely within the logic of continental defense. A similar shift is unfolding elsewhere in the Arctic, though with far less public notice. The Northwest Passage—the network of sea routes threading Canada’s Arctic Archipelago between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans—has moved from a seasonal curiosity to a corridor of growing strategic consequence. As activity increases, questions long treated as theoretical, including the legal status of those waters, are being pushed toward practical resolution.

Doctor at Jeffrey Epstein’s post-mortem says the paedophile was strangled and NOT hanged

Jeffrey Epstein was strangled, not hanged in his New York prison cell, according to a doctor present at his post-mortem.

Dr Michael Baden has called for the cause of the paedophile’s death to be reinvestigated, almost seven years after he was found unresponsive at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.

He is unconvinced by the conclusion of the New York Medical Examiner’s Office that the American millionaire took his own life while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Eight innocents were shot dead in B.C.’s northeastern community of Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday; a girl is fighting for her life in hospital, and two dozen more have been injured. This tragedy is one of the worst ever seen in Canadian history — and as it unfolded, police gave the public incorrect information and did not correct themselves afterward.

“Suspect described as female in a dress with brown hair,” read the emergency alert notifying residents of the school shooter, who was later found dead.

Pentagon hawk calls on Nato to push for ‘partnership, not dependency’

President Trump’s main military strategist has called for a Nato “based on partnership rather than dependency”, in which European countries, Britain and Canada will be expected to accelerate their commitments to increase defence budgets.

Before a meeting of alliance defence ministers in Brussels on Thursday, Elbridge Colby, 46, argued for a reformed “Nato 3.0” that was closer to its original Cold-War era iteration, rather than a group mainly underwritten by US military power.

“In 2025, we saw a genuine commitment to have Europe lead the conventional defence of Nato,” he said. “Now it’s time to march out together, to be pragmatic, we have a really strong basis for working together in partnership, for a Nato based on partnership rather than dependency. Really, a return to what Nato originally was intended for.”
