A group of 19 undocumented migrants of Haitian origin was arrested Thursday night near Havelock in Quebec’s Montérégie region.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that the group, with ages ranging from one to 60, was apprehended after they allegedly illegally crossed from the United States into Canada.
The breach was reported to the RCMP by the United States Border Patrol (USBP) shortly before 6 p.m.
Indonesia has a reputation for being a “moderate” Muslim nation, but the wind in the Islamic world as a whole is blowing in the opposite direction, as a group of Christians has just discovered.
Morning Star News, which tracks the persecution of Christians worldwide, reported Tuesday that “as police looked on, Muslims in West Java Province, Indonesia on Dec. 14 formed a human wall to block Christians from attending a Christmas service, according to local media.”

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs might have been named The Canadian Press News Story of the Year, but Prime Minister Mark Carney’s failure to adequately deal with them ought to have been.
When Carney announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal party, after former prime minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation early last year, Carney sold himself to Canadians as the man who could meet the moment and deal with the Trump juggernaut.
Yoshua Bengio, considered one of the “Godfathers of AI,” warns that the threat of job displacement by AI is no longer a distant future but a present reality, with even trade jobs at risk as the technology becomes more sophisticated.
Conversations between humans and AI chatbots can significantly influence voters’ decisions, with the impact in Canada potentially three times greater than in the United States, according to a study published in the journal Nature on Dec. 4.
The study, conducted by researchers from MIT and other universities in Canada, Poland, and the United States, analyzed how conversations with AI chatbots could persuade people to change their voting intentions more effectively than traditional political advertisements.
The attack on US troops by a Syrian security forces member who was a supporter of the extremist “Islamic State” group in mid-December has consequences well beyond the four deaths that resulted.
One question continues to arise after the recent killing of two US soldiers and a civilian translator in central Syria by a follower of the extremist “Islamic State” group.
The killer had infiltrated the Syrian security forces. How many others in the Syrian security forces might hold similarly extreme opinions?
As investigators in Massachusetts work to piece together a motive for the murders of two Brown University students and an MIT physics professor, former classmates of the suspected gunman and one of the victims have been asking if the roots of the tragedy lie in their shared experience at a top university in Portugal.
The suspected gunman, Cláudio Valente, and one of those killed, Nuno FG Loureiro, studied at the prestigious and notoriously challenging University of Lisbon engineering and technology school, known locally as Técnico, both graduating in 2000.
U.S. President Donald Trump has been a disruptive force since he burst onto the political scene a decade ago — but the pace of change in the first year of his second presidency is unlike just about anything seen before in the nearly 250-year history of the American republic.
Since his inauguration in January, Trump has upended the global trade order with a sweeping new tariffs scheme, radically curtailed immigration while deploying enforcement agents to round up migrants en masse and issued pink slips to federal public servants at a scale unmatched in the modern era.
President Putin wished President Trump a merry Christmas on Thursday, the Kremlin has said, hours after President Zelensky appeared to wish death upon the Russian leader in his Christmas Eve address.
Putin sent Trump a congratulatory message, according to the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, but the leaders are not expected to speak on Christmas Day.
On Christmas Eve, Zelensky said: “Today we all share one dream. And we make one wish — for all of us: ‘May he perish.’” It is widely understood to be a reference to Putin. Beforehand, Zelensky hinted at a plan for demilitarised zones in eastern Ukraine.
Zelensky wishing for Putin’s death on his Christmas message:
My dear people, since ancient times, Ukrainians believed that on Christmas night, the heavens open.
And if you tell them your dream, it will surely come true.
Today, we all have one dream. And we have one wish for… pic.twitter.com/spaWEIsyoz

We’d posed a simple question last year: How seriously does the Toronto Police Service actually take sexual harassment?
Not very, seems to be the answer.
Toronto police are asking for the public’s help finding a woman for ‘anti-Indian messaging’ on TTC subways and stations.

Jimmy Kimmel unleashed fresh attacks on President Trump and declared “tyranny is booming” in the United States during a Christmas Day address in Britain — escalating his feud with the White House months after ABC briefly pulled his show over his comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The late-night host used Channel 4’s Alternative Christmas Message to say that “from a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year,” delivering one of his most pointed political monologues yet — on a UK network, not American television.
Jimmy Kimmel went on UK TV to whine about Trump and 'fascism' in America:
"From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year. Tyranny is booming over here."

It was presented to Canadians as an exceptional option to an already approaching natural death. How did doctor-assisted dying become so popular?
Nearly a decade after the Criminal Code was amended to permit doctors to end, under certain conditions, a consenting person’s life, one in 20 deaths in Canada now involve medical assistance in dying (MAID).
