We don’t officially have political parties in Toronto municipal politics, but voters should know that organized political factions exist. One of the most influential is Progress Toronto, the activist group backing Olivia Chow and a slate of candidates pushing policies that would make this city worse.
At the heart of the European Union, Belgium exemplifies better than perhaps any other Western European country the extent to which political elites seem to almost relish the degree to which Europe is being Islamized.
In July 2026, Israel’s Channel 12 News aired a report warning that Hamas terrorists, including high-ranking members of the organization’s Al-Qassam Brigades, now live in Antwerp — some of whom, according to local Gazans opposed to Hamas, are receiving Belgian citizenship.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed a long-time Democrat political operative to a newly-created senior position in his government, the latest action in a long history between prominent Democrats colluding with the country’s leader to oppose the Trump administration. The two countries are now embroiled in a tense back-and-forth years in the making that threatens American interests on trade and national security.
Reza Gharehchahi says he would be the first to call out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist group.
Since coming to Canada on a study permit in 2022, the Iranian has signed petitions and joined political rallies to condemn the IRGC-backed regime in Tehran, speaking out for the voiceless back home, including two close friends he says were killed in government crackdowns.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Monday announced reforms are coming to some welfare benefits, restricting them from being spent on “unnecessary” items.
DeSantis, who is viewed as a possible 2028 presidential contender, said he is working with the Trump administration to amend the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families State Plan, spurring changes to what welfare recipients can spend their Temporary Cash Assistance benefits on. Once implemented, the move would bar funds from being spent on items ranging from vaping products to pornography.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford fired a series of insults and threats at United States President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon in a growing war of words between the two leaders.
Moments before the Ontario premier’s press conference began, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, accusing him of “bluster” in trade talks and calling him a “flunky.”
Legendary singer-songwriter and country music icon Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80.
Donald Trump’s administration said on Monday it planned to revoke the non-immigrant visas of foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the US, marking its latest step in a sweeping immigration crackdown.
A state department spokesperson said it was coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security “to identify and revoke the non-immigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently”.
The state department did not specify the number of visas that will be revoked in the process.
A week after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a new deal to expand the Churchill Falls hydroelectric project, he held a press conference in Lévis, Que., on Monday to announce a contract to build six icebreakers for the Coast Guard at the Chantier Davie shipyards.
While Canada desperately needs electricity to power its economy and icebreakers to protect its shores, Carney has yet to demonstrate that his government is capable of enacting economic policies beyond spending massive amounts of borrowed money.
White Britons have been forced to convert to Islam by organised Muslim gangs in the nation’s prisons.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has been urged to investigate a surge in conversions after data revealed one in five Muslims in prisons is white – four times the rate of 5.8 per cent in the general population.
The Canadians are exceedingly angry. I realise this can sometimes be difficult for foreigners to deduce, given our national struggle to express the full range of human emotion outside ice hockey riots. However, let me assure you that the prime minister Canadians saw take the stage on Saturday morning in the wake of the collapse in trade negotiations with the US was a Mark Carney practically vibrating with fury.
China has denounced the threat of US sanctions for its trade with Iran, saying any such measures would be illegal, and warned it would take “all necessary measures” to protect its national interests.
Beijing’s rejection of the US threat of secondary sanctions for any country or entity continuing to trade with Tehran had been predicted. China buys an estimated 80% of Iran’s oil exports and it has defied previous US efforts to limit the flow of revenue to the Tehran regime.
Its statement of opposition raises the question of how far the Trump administration would be prepared to go in confronting China and its financial system in the drive to isolate Iran.
