For years, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been synonymous with the brutal silencing of dissent, turning his country into one of the world’s largest prisons for journalists. Today, shockingly, Bangladesh — once hailed as a moderate Muslim democracy — is following the same dangerous path under the unelected, military-backed rule of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
Canadians are more worried about the high cost of living and the economy than they are about Donald Trump and his administration, according to the latest Abacus survey, reversing a past trend where the U.S. president was the top concern.
The shift signals a change from the federal election in April when Canadians were more worried about a trade war with the U.S., a factor that helped Prime Minister Mark Carney get elected, explained Abacus chair and CEO David Coletto, because voters believed Carney was better equipped to deal with the American leader.
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar may claim to hate capitalism, but doesn’t appear to have any trouble taking advantage of its spoils.
The self-proclaimed Marxist has been sporting sunglasses from luxury designers Jimmy Choo, Oliver Peoples, and Prada — worth up to $500 each — to lecture people on spreading the wealth.
The Democratic “Squad” member was also revealed this week to have a net worth of up to $30 million, a 3,500% increase since 2023, on her latest financial disclosure with third husband, Tim Mynett.
As Prime Minister Mark Carney announces he’s pausing yet another cornerstone environmental policy laid out by his predecessor Justin Trudeau, Industry Minister Melanie Joly won’t say whether the federal government will maintain its 2030 and 2035 emissions reduction targets.
Carney announced Friday that his government will pause the 2026 electric vehicle (EV) target, launch a review of the overall mandate and amend federal Clean Fuel Regulations.
The move follows Carney’s decision to zero out the consumer price on carbon in March, his first move as prime minister.
Speaking to reporters following his announcement on Friday, Carney signalled the door is open to other changes on climate policy, except for the industrial price on carbon.
Tuesday’s New York Times led with a 2,500-word screed by science reporter William Broad. “Historians See Autocratic Playbook in Trump’s Attacks on Science” took off from that headline and became quickly even more laughable, taking us back 400 years to the Inquisition. The prominent story was even illustrated with a painting of astronomer Galileo’s 1633 church trial for heresy for insisting the Earth moves around the sun.
Fugitive B.C. killer Robby Alkhalil arrested in Qatar
More than three years after he escaped from a Port Coquitlam jail, fugitive gang killer Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil has been arrested in Qatar.
Several sources confirmed Saturday that the wanted Wolfpack gangster had been picked up by local authorities on Friday. The RCMP declined to comment.
Actress and former The View co-host Rosie O’Donnell has continued her long line of recent attacks on President Donald Trump, calling him a “child rapist” in a social media post she promoted at the same time smearing Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “mass murderer.”
Crazy.
Days after self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo and several of her followers were arrested by the RCMP during a raid at a former school in Richmond, the Saskatchewan Health Authority has deemed the building unfit for habitation.
The health authority said it posted an order to vacate Friday, after it found the building in the southwestern Saskatchewan village was not connected to a municipal sewage system.
I think I prefer Didulo to King Charles.
It was one of the most horrific stories of the entire Israel-Hamas conflict, or any conflict. Back in late May, a retired Green Beret named Anthony Aguilar, who had been working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), claimed that he witnessed an incident of such shocking heartlessness and inhumanity that it seemed destined to be remembered as one of the most cruel war crimes in the entire history of the world. There was just one catch: it has now been definitively established that not a word of it was true.

A young woman is kidnapped in Ontario. Her family’s home is stormed, and her father is shot. Police say the suspects staged a car crash, forced her into a van, tied her up, and within an hour were breaking into her family’s house while armed. Four people were arrested, including two teenagers. One was just 12 years old, already out on bail, and he is the one police allege pulled the trigger. Another suspect escaped.

The Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday discontinued its protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris after heavy criticism within its own ranks that officers were being diverted from crime suppression, sources told The Times.
LAPD Metropolitan Division officers had been assisting the California Highway Patrol in protecting Harris and were visible until Saturday morning outside her Brentwood home.
Both California police agencies scrambled this week to protect Harris after President Trump, her rival in November’s election, revoked Harris’s Secret Service protection last week. Thursday. President Biden had extended that protection for Harris beyond the six months after leaving office that vice presidents traditionally get.
Politicized policing.
In September 2023, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier François Legault stood on a Montreal stage alongside Northvolt executives and announced what they called a “historic” partnership: a plan to build a new mega-factory on Montreal’s South Shore.
It was to be called Northvolt Six — a plant that would churn out electric vehicle batteries, create 3,000 jobs and contribute more than $1 billion to the economy.
Both the provincial and federal governments rolled out the red carpet for Northvolt, a Swedish company, to woo them into choosing Quebec for their first major factory outside of Europe.
ASSISI, Italy—Every day this summer, thousands of Catholic devotees have streamed into a 12th-century church in this medieval town to pay their respects to a tech-savvy teenager seen by some as the patron saint of the internet.
Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 from leukemia at the age of 15, was officially recognized as a saint by Pope Leo XIV on Sunday, bestowing the Catholic Church’s highest honor on a millennial for the first time.
Sometimes also dubbed “God’s influencer,” St. Carlo’s emerging iconography often depicts him holding a laptop. It is a nod to his hobby—computer programming—a skill he used to spread the Gospel, designing websites for religious institutions and a personal website cataloging miracles.
The “immigrants are taking our jobs” line used to be dismissed as a xenophobic trope, stigmatized in Canadian politics with such intensity that it lulled the population into a decade-plus sleep even as wages stagnated. But it’s turned out to be completely true — and only the Conservatives are coming up with solutions to the problem.
On Wednesday, Pierre Poilievre and immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner announced their proposal to scrap the temporary foreign worker (TFW) program, which in 2023 authorized nearly 240,000 foreigners to work in Canada. This, we’re told, is only the beginning: Rempel Garner promises that more proposals are in the works.
