The Liberals swept a trio of federal byelections on Monday night, adding one more member to the ranks of their majority government and picking up a seat that had been held by the Conservatives since 2018.
The Tories posted a disappointing showing in all three races, but none more than the loss of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, where the party was relegated to a distant third-place finish.
The iconic TV series 7 Up has been slapped with a trigger warning by ITV bosses because it ‘contains outdated attitudes’.
The original episode, from 1964, followed 14 seven-year-olds talking about money, class, school and the future.
The programme returns to them every seven years, and will end this year with 70 Up.
There are moments when excessive nuance ceases to be sophistication and becomes an excuse for moral cowardice. The recent controversy at the CBC over whether journalists should describe the attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism was one of those moments. Nearly 3,000 people were murdered that morning, and civilian aircraft were deliberately hijacked and turned into weapons.
More than 100 children aged 12 or under were referred to the British government’s Forced Marriage Unit between 2021 and 2025, new Home Office figures show.
The figures include 27 children aged five or under.
Dame Jasvinder Sanghera, a campaigner who escaped a forced marriage when she was 14, described the number of very young children as “deeply disturbing.”
She warned that some children could disappear from school because they had been taken away for a forced marriage.

An urban curse.
President Donald Trump knows how to provoke and move markets. But when it comes to beef prices, he may have missed a few briefings on cattle economics.
Last week, Trump authorized an additional 300,000 metric tonnes of lean beef trimmings to enter the United States at the lower, within-quota tariff rate. Beginning September 1, the measure will permit up to 100,000 tonnes a month for 90 days. The imported trimmings will be blended with American beef to produce ground beef. The White House is encouraging suppliers to offer it at a 25% discount.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., thinks the problem Democrats had with immigration was not that they allowed millions of illegals to invade the country, but rather that Democrats’ simply failed to explain to Americans that they should be grateful for living with illegal aliens who apparently make communities safer.
During an interview with the CT Mirror, Murphy claimed that President Donald Trump was trying to solve a “fake problem” of mass migration being a threat to the American people.
Bjorn Rieder wasn’t raised in a religious home or around religious influences, and the last thing he expected was to become religious himself.
In fact, Rieder spent much of his younger life viewing faith with skepticism. He says he even studied religious philosophy at university mainly to argue against religion.
Despite politicians and the media telling them over and over again that crime is down, people irrationally believe crime is rising.
The debate over how we teach the British Empire has become one of the most polarising arguments in modern British education. Some insist the empire was a force for progress – ushering in parliamentary institutions, the rule of law, global trade and modernity. Others emphasise its violence, exploitation and the long shadow it casts over current-day inequalities.
In early April 2026, Tamara Lich, who helped organize the 2022 truckers’ Freedom Convoy to Ottawa, gave a talk at the University of Calgary. One of the largest lecture theatres, holding over 400 people, was nearly filled. She spoke for an hour and a half without notes and then took another half hour of questions. In return for some minimal assistance in booking the room, I was rewarded with a collection of chocolates (since consumed) and a copy of her book, Hold the Line: My Story from the Heart of the Freedom Convoy. Her talk and her book embodied in my mind the last gasp of Canadian self-respect and pride. More surprisingly, it also expressed the much rarer view that the struggle against bureaucratic tyranny directed by the Government of Canada was more spiritual than political.
He cannot escape the memory of the knife. He holds his hand up and shows me the scar on the underside of his arm, just below the wrist. ‘I resisted,’ he explains, ‘so they forced me.’
Mustafa looks bereft as he recounts the first time he was abused. He was 14 years old.
‘My friends told me to come to a garden where we would eat fruit and drink nice juices,’ he tells me. ‘When I arrived seven men were waiting. I tried to resist. I shouted and screamed but they tied my hands and legs.
An internal document obtained by The Globe and Mail shows the full cost of a high-speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City is estimated at about $150-billion once four decades of operating and maintenance expenses are included – a figure that is well above the range regularly cited by federal officials.
Alto – the Crown corporation responsible for the massive infrastructure project – says the high-speed rail line will cost between $60-billion and $90-billion. The organization has said a more precise cost estimate will be released as the project is advanced.
