Dozens of Americans and Canadians are among hundreds of people who are missing following a deadly flash flood and mudslide near the Nepal-Tibet border, Nepali authorities say.
More than 350 people are so far known to have died, according to the authorities.
The US State Department said it was aware that Americans were impacted by Wednesday’s floods but did not provide numbers.

In the wake of Ottawa’s forceful response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war, the White House on Wednesday said Canada “is joined only by the People’s Republic of China in choosing retaliation over negotiation.”
It’s a strange parallel for Mr. Trump’s team to draw – given Beijing fought the United States to a draw last year, winning concessions and breathing room to further shore up its economy against future U.S. pressure – but one that has also been made in China itself.
Iran’s Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has all but vanished from public view, fuelling fevered speculation in Tehran that the Islamic Republic is concealing the truth about who is really running the country.
Mojtaba was named Iran’s new supreme leader on March 8, a week after joint US-Israeli airstrikes killed his father Ali Khamenei on February 28.
He was inside the compound in Tehran when it was struck. Sources close to Mojtaba’s inner circle later told Reuters that the blast left his face disfigured and caused a serious injury to one or both of his legs.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has thrown his support behind Prime Minister Mark Carney’s retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., as tensions between Canada and the Trump administration continue to escalate.
Speaking at a media conference in Vaughan, Ont., on Wednesday, Ford said Carney had done the “right thing” by walking away from a deal with the U.S., and that the PM has his “full support in standing up for our country” by introducing retaliatory tariffs. He added that Canada is “going to fight like we’ve never fought before against President Trump.”
There aren’t many reasons for Americans to visit Moscow today. Red Square lacks the glamour that the first Pizza Hut and McDonald’s gave it in those days of optimism and openness that followed the Soviet collapse. Visitors today only go to carry a warning.
In 2021, Bill Burns, then head of the CIA, cautioned the Kremlin that the full-scale invasion of Ukraine would be a disaster. It would fail and would leave President Putin’s regime weaker. He was right.
According to the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Russia to warn against attacking a NATO country, which out of all the speculative scenarios in the information-space since the meet, was the most likely.

With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 on the horizon, the CBC has circulated a memo to reporters and editors across all its news platforms reminding them not to refer to the attacks that claimed 3,000 lives and changed the modern world as “terrorist attacks.”
The missive from the broadcaster’s journalistic standards and practices office, a copy of which was obtained by National Post, includes a section of the “longstanding language guidance” on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks carried out by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda.
Don’t put Muslims in charge of anything. They can’t control themselves. Their lives are an acting out of a cultish nightmare.

A leak involving tens of thousands of members of Morocco’s security apparatus has opened a new chapter in the Ceuta crisis.
The hacker group Jabaroot claims to have published personal and professional information on around 70,000 agents and police officers linked mainly to the domestic intelligence service —DGST— and the General Directorate for National Security —DGSN— and has presented the operation as a “gift to Spain” following the mass entry on July 30.
According to a Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) report released in March 2026, China views Canada as a “high priority” for foreign interference. The strategic rationale is straightforward. Our geographic, institutional, and cultural proximity to the United States means that a compromised Canada is a direct liability to Washington. If Beijing — America’s primary security challenger — can exert enough influence to misalign Canadian domestic and foreign policy from that of the US, it effectively renders North America vulnerable.

For three days, Canada and the United States (US) appeared to have a trade deal. On August 19, President Donald Trump said they probably had one. Canada’s trade minister, Dominic LeBlanc, said the two countries were “very close,” while US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said negotiators had reached an agreement. Then, late on August 21, Prime Minister Mark Carney pulled Canada’s negotiators out of Washington and killed it.

When President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania in July of 2024, the moment was assumed (perhaps naively) by some on the right to be a watershed moment. The egregious display of political violence that was the culmination of a years-long assassination prep campaign against the president and more broadly, Republicans, was certainly the last, so many thought.
Pending applications for proof of Canadian citizenship stood at roughly 56,000 in April. By May, they had reached 70,400. Today they sit at 121,800, and the posted processing time has doubled since spring, from 12 to 25 months. This is the fastest-growing channel of potential newcomers to Canada, and it appears nowhere in the immigration levels plan the Carney government cites as proof it has the file under control.
“Woke 1 was crazy,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez laughed on an ABC News show, dismissing questions about the radical views of DSA members while implying that they were some sort of past phenomenon we no longer had to address because the page had been turned on the era. “What’s important is that we have to assess what a candidate is saying now.”

… And I can tell you that as nice as the Canadian people are, their trade negotiators are arrogant, backstabbing people. The Communist Chinese and the Canadians are the hardest to deal with, and they are the only two countries retaliating against us for our fair-trade measures.
