Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has penned a scathing letter to the prime minister ahead of his meeting with the U.S. president this week, saying Mark Carney has been a disappointment on the trade file and needs to come back from this trip with some wins for Canada.
In the letter, which was shared with CBC News, Poilievre said Carney promised to “negotiate a win” for Canada and deliver some tariff relief this summer, but that didn’t work out as planned.
The Manchester synagogue terrorist had a tangled love life with several women including a Muslim convert, it has emerged.
Jihad al-Shamie, 35, was living with his mother after splitting from his wife and is said to have been obsessed with an Islamic dating app.
He is said to have sent abusive messages to an ex-girlfriend whom he had encouraged to watch “extreme” videos and married a Muslim convert in secret before his wife left him six months ago.
More than $122 million worth of marijuana has been seized from illegal grow-op on a First Nations reserve in Eastern Ontario that was allegedly being operated by an organized criminal network.
The OPP says three firearms were also seized during a six-month investigation – and 10 people have been charged, six of whom are not members of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory community.
Residents of an East Sussex town where a mosque was set on fire have called the attack “disgraceful” and said it represented a wider problem across the UK.
Two people inside the mosque in Phyllis Avenue, Peacehaven, managed to escape after the front entrance and a car parked outside were set alight on Saturday.
Sussex Police has released CCTV footage of two people it wants to identify after the blaze, which it is treating as arson and a hate crime.

Canada’s immigration laws are so self-sabotaging that it takes years to deport actual registered child sex offenders who should have never been let into the country in the first place. If we’re struggling to put even these guys on a plane home, we’re in serious trouble.
We know this because a Pakistani national Gullfam Hussain, who omitted his 2017 criminal conviction and three-year jail stint in the U.K. for “Adult sexual activity with a female child family member 13 to 17 — offender over 18 — penetration,” has been fighting his deportation for two years now. Most recently, he tried to have the Federal Court cancel his deportation to Pakistan for safety reasons, which failed.
Six people were injured in a shooting on Friday night in the town of Gävle, Sweden. Gunfire erupted around 2 a.m. local time on a lively street lined with bars, restaurants, and shops, where people were out enjoying the evening. Swedish Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer described the incident as as “a very serious and ruthless act of violence.”
None of the victims—all teens—sustained life-threatening injuries, but all required hospital care, police spokesman Tobias Ahlén-Svalbro told Expressen.

‘I’ve applied to more than 50 jobs, didn’t get one interview’: Why job fairs are attracting massive crowds
They lineup by the hundreds, shoulder-to-shoulder, roped off around the centre court of Markham’s Markville Mall.
It’s 2:30 p.m. on a weekday afternoon. You might suspect the crowd is queued up for the newest iPhone or perhaps a video game console release, instead they’re looking for a way to put food on the table, a roof over their heads.
This is a job fair, an increasingly popular way for employers to screen large crowds of prospective employees.
With unemployment hitting highs not seen in a decade, the crowds at these recruitment events outnumber openings.
A number of such “employment” articles have run of late, all of them with photos of job fair lines. None feature any white people.
And the media never mention it at all.
Thank your local MP for murdering Canada.
Yes. Yes it is. @fancypants_s https://t.co/CftWorAqYn

A junior doctor who made a “slit your throat” gesture to Jewish protesters escaped suspension after a tribunal found that she had a “right to freedom of expression”.
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, who is training to be a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, has been allowed to continue working for the NHS after a panel of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service said that its duty to protect members of the public “must be balanced with the doctor’s right to freedom of expression” under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Between September 26 and October 1, 2025, Abacus Data surveyed 1,504 Canadian adults on the state of federal politics. With Parliament back in session and economic anxieties simmering, this snapshot reveals a political landscape that is fiercely competitive and one where both major parties are digging in for a battle over economic credibility and leadership trust.
At the topline, little has shifted, but beneath the surface, rising pressure on affordability, mixed views of the Carney government, and some regional softness for both parties are shaping a dynamic fall political environment.
Vladimir Putin’s hybrid war is pushing Europe towards a deadly new “Pearl Harbour moment”, a former Lithuanian foreign minister has warned.
Gabrielius Landsbergis, who stepped down as the Baltic country’s most senior diplomat in November, said Nato was “doing nothing” in the face of brinkmanship by Russia, allowing Putin to drag the West closer to all-out conflict.
His warning follows a series of Russian provocations, including MiG-31 fighter jets breaching Estonian airspace and a drone barrage over Poland. As fighting continues in Ukraine, swarms of drones have caused mayhem at airports and spied on infrastructure as part of the Kremlin’s “shadow war”.
As trade negotiations with the United States sputtered over the summer, Prime Minister Mark Carney started talking about a new, domestically oriented solution for Canada’s tariff-battered industries.
“We have the potential to become our own best customer for steel, but we will lose that ability if we don’t manage the profound transformation now under way in the industry,” Mr. Carney said from the floor of a metal fabrication plant in Hamilton in mid-July as he unveiled a bundle of measures to keep out foreign steel and boost domestic demand for Canadian mills.
A few weeks later, he announced a support package for the lumber industry. And in early September, he outlined the pillars of Ottawa’s new “comprehensive industrial strategy.”
