US President Donald J. Trump’s plan for ending the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip is not a “peace plan.” In the eyes of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, the plan is nothing but another temporary ceasefire, not different than previous ones reached between Israel and Hamas over the past two decades.
It is a mistake even to call it a “peace plan”: Hamas has not yet abandoned its stated goal of destroying Israel and replacing it with an Islamist state.
Fewer snowbirds are expected to visit the United States this winter, according to an industry survey, while those who do can expect increased scrutiny at the border as the Trump administration tightens immigration rules.
Snowbird Advisor surveyed 4,000 Canadian snowbirds about their travel plans this year, finding that 70 per cent plan to visit the United States, down from 82 per cent last year.
Those results come as Canadian snowbirds face new registration requirements if they intend to stay in the U.S. for longer than a month, according to Ksenia Tchern McCallum, an immigration attorney licensed in both Canada and the U.S. who advises clients on both sides of the border.
An Iranian child bride who was forced to marry at just 12 years old is facing execution over the death of her abusive husband.
Goli Kouhkan, an undocumented Baluch woman today aged 25, is set to be executed this month, eight independent United Nations experts warned in a statement published Tuesday.
‘Kouhkan’s case exemplifies the systemic gender bias faced by women victims of child marriage and domestic violence within Iran’s criminal justice system,’ the experts said.
A B.C. legislator who previously argued Truth and Reconciliation Day should not be recognized as a statutory holiday is proposing a new one that would celebrate the self-described “Freedom Convoy.”
Tara Armstrong, one of two MLAs who formed the right-wing One BC Party after being elected as B.C. Conservatives, introduced the Freedom Convoy Recognition Act Tuesday.
“The bill’s purpose is to recognize the achievements of the Freedom Convoy, one of the largest peaceful demonstrations in Canadian history. It inspired movements across the globe to stand against lockdowns and government overreach,” she said.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released never-before-seen images of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous island.
The photographs and video appear to show several bedrooms in the US Virgin Islands home, as well as a room with masks on a wall and a phone with names written on speed-dial buttons.
In a statement, the committee’s Democratic leader, Robert Garcia, said they collectively form a “disturbing look” into Epstein’s world and are being released to “ensure public transparency”.
Immigration Minister Lena Diab is warning foreign nationals against abusing Canada’s asylum system, as other G7 countries tighten their refugee rules.
Britain and the U.S. have recently restricted their asylum regimes, raising concerns among immigration experts that this could divert some refugee claimants to Canada.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced he is halting asylum applications, while the British government is planning to end automatic permanent residence for refugees, and would require them to reapply every two-and-a-half years to stay in the country. Britain plans to make refugees wait 20 years for permanent residence.
Canada is an easy mark and Diab is a liar.
US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s close ties to the $1 billion welfare scam in her Minnesota congressional district are being uncovered.
Omar (D-Minn.) held parties at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its now-convicted owners, and one of her own staffers has also been convicted — both for stealing millions.
Canada’s Food Price Report is warning Canadians to brace for even higher food costs next year, with rising prices in multiple sectors set to continue putting pressure on household grocery budgets.
The 16th annual edition of the report, released Thursday by Dalhousie University in partnership with universities across the country, says it expects food prices to rise between four and six per cent in 2026.
Official details surrounding the alleged rape of a 10-year-old Irish girl by a 26-year-old “asylum seeker” are murky due to a system that protects not only the victim, but also the alleged predator.
As the Irish Times reports, police “have been unable to speak to a 10-year-old girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted in west Dublin last month, ‘due to medical advice,’ a court has heard.”
On top of that, the alleged perpetrator in the case “cannot be identified due to the nature of the charge.” The unidentified man is accused of sexual assault of the girl on Oct. 20, 2025, “after the girl went missing from care.”
Link fixed!
In the wake of Steven Guilbeault leaving cabinet, a senior government source told iPolitics that several other Trudeau-era Liberal MPs are also having challenges “coming to grips” to the new direction laid out by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
The source, who requested anonymity because they’re not authorized to publicly speak on the matter, said many like Guilbeault are concerned about the government’s shift in approach on climate issues, including laying out a path for a new oil pipeline to the West Coast in an agreement with Alberta reached last week.
Prince Harry was born into a position of immense inherited privilege but that hasn’t stopped him commenting on the vigorous democracy that defines the U.S. and is now his home.

Five years after then-prime minister Justin Trudeau banned more than 100,000 types of so-called “assault-style firearms,” the federal government recently made the first attempt to force Canadians to surrender these firearms.
It didn’t go well.
The president said he would weaken Biden-era mileage standards, which were designed to increase electric-vehicle sales, calling them a “scam.”
President Trump on Wednesday threw the weight of the federal government behind vehicles that burn gasoline rather than electric cars, gutting one of the country’s most significant efforts to address climate change and thrusting the automobile industry into greater uncertainty.
Flanked by executives from major automakers in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump said the Transportation Department would significantly weaken fuel efficiency requirements for tens of millions of new cars and light trucks. The administration claimed the changes would save Americans $109 billion over five years and shave $1,000 off the average cost of a new car.
Former federal minister Chrystia Freeland this week said Ukraine can become an economic juggernaut and boost European economies by taking up the opportunities it missed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Her comments come as Ottawa pledges another $235 million for Ukraine through the NATO military alliance, and as the world watches for the latest iteration of a Washington-brokered deal to end Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Freeland spoke Tuesday at a Toronto conference aimed at drumming up investment in Ukraine. It appeared to be her first major speech in Canada since Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed her as special envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Freeland knew as early as 2014 about the massive corruption in Ukraine, yet she still advocated for the transfer of billions of Canadian tax dollars, anyway. pic.twitter.com/k1DoH4odaB

Freeland’s appointment is a clear conflict of interest. Canada has taken a back seat to Ukraine’s grift machine.
Venezuelan president’s blanket amnesty demand for top officials is deal-breaker for Washington
Venezuela’s president asked to keep $200m of his private wealth, amnesty for his officials and safe harbour in a friendly country as part of a deal with Donald Trump to step down and flee, sources said.
Those familiar with a phone call between the two leaders told The Telegraph that the plan fell apart owing to Nicolas Maduro’s demands for a blanket amnesty for as many as 100 top officials.
During the 15-minute call, the two leaders also disagreed on how to set up a transitional government and on the location Mr Maduro would flee to from Venezuela.
