It was hardly an offensive video. Amid the buzz of the Tour de France finale, Oliver Hooson filmed himself whipping up a delicious-looking flat white for a fellow cycling enthusiast. But after posting the footage on social media, the comments that soon rolled in were a real shock. “PERV,” read one. “Out here pushing creep glasses,” said another. His mistake? Documenting the moment with Meta’s “spy glasses”.
A 32-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder after a woman was found dead in a downtown Toronto residence in late 2025, police officers say.
It was on Dec. 19 when Toronto police officers said Himanshi Khurana was reported missing.
The following day, investigators said they found the 30-year-old woman’s body at a home near Strachan Avenue and Wellington Street West. Khurana’s death was subsequently ruled a homicide.
Iran is demanding financial compensation for the war before it reopens the Strait of Hormuz, a last-minute concession that dampens hopes of an imminent deal.
Speculation had been building for days that an agreement was emerging that would restore safe passage in the vital sea lane, following direct negotiations between Oman and the Islamic republic.
But Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, said that while a deal was close, reopening the strait would depend on other conditions.
As pride month celebrations take place across Quebec, political candidates from sexual and gender-diverse backgrounds who are running in the fall provincial election are sounding the alarm over a flood of hateful messages targeting them.
Québec solidaire says it’s currently facing a wave of online hate of “exceptional” and “alarming” proportions targeting its 2SLGBTQ+ candidates.
Child mutilation fetishists are being treated rudely? The horror. CBC doesn’t make it clear who is behind this wave of hate for some reason.
But then there are many strange things happening for unknown reasons or causes in Mysterious Canada.

The Pentagon is asking the U.S. defense industry to rapidly escalate the production and delivery of weapons, including munitions that are in extreme shortage due to the war with Iran, according to a Defense Department memo obtained by The Washington Post.
Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg wrote to industry leaders on Wednesday, saying they had no more than 21 days to submit plans to “drive significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules and/or increased production for critical capabilities,” according to the memo, which is previously unreported.
A group of Toronto tenants gathered at a local park to welcome new members to their group, called Toronto Tenants Union, which only formed in April with a mandate to protect renters, especially low-income earners, and inform them of their rights.
Their latest push is against recently announced federal loans granted to private developers.
“It’s very problematic because it’s just a bailout for the private developers who led us into this housing crisis in the first place,” said Bruno Dobrusin, co-chair of the Toronto Tenants Union, in an interview with CTV News.
One unselective meteor is all I ask.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) says she hasn’t “ruled out the possibility” of a 2028 presidential bid as a new poll shows the progressive lawmaker gaining ground among Democratic voters in New Hampshire.
“I haven’t ruled out the possibility,” Ocasio-Cortez said on ABC News’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos Sunday, adding that she was “very humbled” by the “tremendous amount of support” she has received.
Please!
It didn’t take much of a drop in crime rates for the cadre of experts opposing tighter bail rules and tougher laws to declare that, surprise, tighter bail rules and tougher laws are not needed.
Canadians have been duped into believing that crime is a big problem, and hoodwinked into supporting the federal Liberals’ (kinda) tough-on-crime crackdown. Or so the story goes. The proof? Statistics Canada’s annual release of crime statistics, which found that crime rates dropped in 2025. What’s more, the crime severity index declined, as did the violent crime severity index.
The captain of the boat that capsized in off Liberty Island in New York Harbor late Saturday — killing a mother and her infant daughter — was hit with more than a dozen charges for driving it dangerously overloaded, sources said.

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is asking the prime minister to not concede to U.S. President Donald Trump’s demands during trade negotiations.
Poilievre says in a letter to Mark Carney that Ottawa has given in to several of Trump’s demands in the last year, including getting rid of the digital service tax and removing counter-tariffs on the United States.
Prime Minister, time for results on trade:
Zero tariffs on lumber, steel, aluminum, and autos.

In an abandoned luxury apartment in the Syrian capital Damascus, armed men dressed in military fatigues sifted through designer clothes and documents.
Scattered across the living room floor, under a sparkling crystal chandelier, were dozens of photos of the same slender man in different settings – sitting at his desk, even playing in the snow. And multiple prints of the same image, showing him smiling warmly as he shook the hand of ousted dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Less than six weeks from now, Canada will have 24 hours to try to sway a captive audience of the world’s financial power brokers that the country is ripe for more investment.
The inaugural Canada Investment Summit, scheduled for Sept. 14 and 15 in Toronto, will be a rare moment for Canada. Led by Prime Minister Mark Carney and two of the country’s largest pension funds, it is expected to draw the kind of crowd that normally only gathers en masse in Davos, Switzerland or Los Angeles.
For the time being, there is still widespread agreement among all democratic parties in Germany: Cooperating with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) remains out of the question. However, whether this will remain the case is becoming increasingly uncertain. The established parties have so far been unable to halt the AfD’s surge in the polls over recent months.
Hamilton anti-racism groups give tips on how to avoid unwittingly renting venues to groups deemed extremist
An organization calling for the deportation of immigrants says it’s hosting a conference in the Hamilton area on Aug. 29, prompting local anti-racism groups to take action.
In an open letter, several organizations, including the Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre (HARRC) and Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI), are urging businesses and institutions not to rent space to Dominion Society of Canada and other such groups.
The letter also shares tips to help venues avoid unwittingly letting extremist groups book their events.
The CBC propaganda machine is now attempting to paint the Dominion Society as a hateful group, equating them with "white supremacists" The Second Sons. Their agenda is clear: accept mass immigration or they will tarnish you and your members publicly.
They are on a anti-white… pic.twitter.com/pMfEYKhqGc

The CBC is a far left extremist group and their message is clear you are to be demonized for your beliefs. Frank discussion of immigration reform marks you as a forever guilty racist oppressor and any attempt to stand up and protect your own best interests is a hate crime.
Republican terrorists are plotting a campaign of violence to force migrants out of Ireland, intelligence officials have told The Mail on Sunday.
The plan by the New IRA – the successor organisation to the Real IRA – comes in the wake of the disturbances on the streets of Northern Ireland in June following the stabbing of Stephen Ogilvie, allegedly by Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old Sudanese asylum-seeker.
Security sources say that the dissident republicans, who continue to fight for a ‘united Ireland’, are feeding off local community tensions on both sides of the border over a spike in cases of harassment, sexual assault and violence, which has been blamed on migrants.
How is this going to go over with the open borders crowd given the IRA had longstanding links to Palestinian terrorist organizations?
