Southport killer bought knives with money his father paid him for showering

Axel Rudakubana bought knives with money his father paid him to shower, an inquiry into the Southport killings has heard.

Alphonse Rudakubana admitted he would pay his son £40 for every three showers he took as a “reward” for washing himself, something he said happened at least twice.

He told the public inquiry into the murder of three girls that he and Axel Rudakubana’s mother would also “give him money” when their son asked.

Global Affairs says Canada exploring possible postwar role in Gaza Strip

OTTAWA — With Canadian military personnel already deployed to Gaza to monitor the ceasefire, the federal government says it’s scoping out how it can best support Palestinians in Gaza in the event a peace deal leads to self-governance.

“Decisions have not yet been made on the level of resources nor the type of assistance that we could provide,” Alexandre Lévêque, an assistant deputy minister at Global Affairs Canada, told the House of Commons foreign affairs committee Tuesday.

“The department is working on options to provide to the ministers and prime minister on where we can be most helpful. We have areas of expertise.”

OLDCORN: Carney’s reckless spending budget unites a divided opposition

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget has accomplished a near-impossible feat in Ottawa.

It has united every opposition party across the political spectrum in an outright rejection.

The Conservatives, the Bloc Québécois, the NDP, and the Greens have all declared they will vote against the fiscal plan, branding it as costly, directionless, and profoundly out of touch with the needs of Canadians.

Transgender woman at center of LA gym row insists she’s entitled to use women’s locker room

The transgender woman who’s the focus of a viral Los Angeles gym bathroom row has insisted she is entitled to use the female facilities — and wouldn’t be comfortable in a trans-only locker room.

Alexis Black spoke out after singer-songwriter Tish Hyman claimed she was recently kicked out of a Gold’s Gym in Beverly Hills for confronting someone she described as a “man” in the female bathroom.

Just when you think it’s over…

Ford government’s fall economic statement forecasts $13.5B deficit due to Trump’s tariffs

After nearly getting back in the black last year, Ontario is again awash in red ink.

Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy’s fall economic statement is projecting a $13.5 billion deficit this fiscal year — ballooning from a $1.1 billion shortfall in 2024-25 — but less than the $14.6 billion forecast in his May 15 budget.

The treasurer’s update contained many warning signs that point to a sputtering Ontario economy with a softening jobs market, anemic growth, weak housing starts and shrinking resale home prices.

Carney’s Liberals Keep 3rd World Migrant Floodgates Open

Federal budget 2025: Foreigners living in Canada will get permanent residence priority, Immigration Minister says

Immigration Minister Lena Diab says her department will prioritize foreigners living in Canada for permanent residency over people applying to settle here from abroad, as she published more details of the number of immigrants who will be allowed to settle here over the next three years.

Tuesday’s budget set out plans to freeze the number of permanent residents at 380,000 a year for three years.

But figures published by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on Wednesday showed that an additional 148,000 permanent residents will be added to the official targets over the next two years through one-off initiatives.


Meanwhile the Globe continues to platform Century Initiative Mass Immigration Gaslighting. Carney’s pal and advisor Wiseman likely has his hands all over this duplicity.

Ottawa’s new immigration plan risks lowering Canada’s quality of life

Lisa Lalande is chief executive of the Century Initiative.

It doesn’t take much to decode how the Liberals want Canadians to understand their new immigration strategy, unveiled in Tuesday’s budget.

The message is clear: quality over quantity. As Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne put it in his prebudget news conference, “On one hand [we’re] saying, ‘Yes, we’re getting back to sustainable levels.’ On the other hand, we’re really focusing on attracting the best and brightest.”

Mamdani is the future of an Islamized West

They’re not here to reform. They’re here to replace. And in the end, what matters is demography.

“Submission is like a hand grenade that activates slowly,” says novelist Michel Houellebecq to the Danish magazine Information. “In France, we’re not there yet, but the situation is like the beginning of the novel. It’s a slow process, but that’s the way things are going.”

What process is he referring to? “A clear movement of adaptation to Islam. Sure, it’s hard to predict what and when it will happen. But the direction is clear.”

That process is now evident in the United States as well.

New York is now about to have its first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

GUNTER: Activist federal judges rewrite Canadian Charter, endanger property ownership

Many readers will be aware of a recent spate of activist rulings from federal judges in Canada, like the July ruling by a Toronto judge that there exists a heretofore unknown Charter right to bike lanes. Justice Paul Schabas created this right out of thin air because he wanted to prevent Ontario’s Conservative government from ordering the removal of bike lanes from major streets.

Majority of Americans think Canada is negotiating in good faith: Poll

WASHINGTON – Most Americans — including Republicans — continue to view Canada positively in economic and trade matters even as U.S. President Donald Trump directs anger at their northern neighbour.

That finding comes from new polling by Leger, Maintenant Media and Canada 338 that also says Americans trust that Canada is negotiating in good faith as the countries face an uncertain trade relationship.

“In the American general public, there’s still some general goodwill towards Canada,” said Andrew Enns, Leger’s executive vice-president for Central Canada.
