President Donald Trump on Monday signed a series of executive orders aimed at eliminating cashless bail in D.C. and throughout the country as part of his efforts to crack down on crime.
“We’re ending it, but we’re starting by ending it in D.C., and that we have the right to do by federalization,” Trump said during a press conference in the Oval Office.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Residents in Gold Canyon, Arizona, enjoy stunning views of desert landscapes and panoramic vistas — especially the majestic Superstition Mountains — which is why it’s a highly sought-after area for vacation homes.
In the past, it has been a prime target for Canadians seeking warm retirement or seasonal homes, but not anymore.
Why?
LAKE WORTH, Fla.—Master Sgt. Tony Kingery of the Florida Highway Patrol was driving through a commercial district one recent morning looking for immigrants in the U.S. illegally when he spotted a white van missing its front bumper. He tailed the vehicle, flashed his lights and pulled it over.
Kingery told the driver about the bumper and a broken taillight and asked for his driver’s license. The driver, who was Hispanic, didn’t speak English. He handed over a Guatemalan consular identification card.
OTTAWA – Advocates are raising concerns that upcoming federal budget cuts and expected job losses in the public service will jeopardize programs intended to hire and promote people with disabilities.
”(Diversity, equity and inclusion) is often an add-on, right? It’s never a core, no matter how hard we try. So usually it’s the first to be cut when times are tough,” said Rabia Khedr, the national director of Disability Without Poverty.
Khedr said people with disabilities often have to overcome significant barriers to get hired. “They have to prove themselves, they have to be a hundred times better than the able-bodied person to shift the hiring manager’s attitudes,” she said.
A 17-year-old girl was stabbed to death while calling police to report that she was being followed — with the arrest of an asylum seeker triggering furious protests across the Netherlands.
The body of the victim, only identified by the first name Lisa, was found in a roadside ditch in Amsterdam early last Wednesday, hours after she was attacked on her way home from a night out with friends.
Pray for Lisa’s family, Europe deserves so much better than this. We built empires once.

Clifford Stauffer was a self-taught tradesman whose projects included houses, airplanes and miniature semi-trucks. A horseman and motorcyclist, he acquired his last bike and horse at 81. He would only get two years of enjoyment out of them. At age 83, in the early hours of June 2021, a group of four to five adults drove up to his rural Alberta home, bludgeoned him to death and lit his house on fire with his body inside. Then, they stole his van.
With retaliatory tariffs removed, a look at items that will be cheaper for Canadians
A new chapter in the trade dispute with the United States opened this week when Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that retaliatory tariffs on some U.S. exports included in the existing Canada-U.S. trade deal would be rescinded.
“I think this is a positive step because we had the U.S. ambassador last week saying this was a major impediment to making any progress … that Canada had retaliatory tariffs on some goods that were actually covered under the existing trade agreement,” financial analyst Michael Campbell told Global News.
Maybe a little but not much.
France says it will summon the US ambassador to Paris, Charles Kushner, over what it says are unacceptable allegations of failing to tackle a surge in antisemitism.
Kushner, who is Jewish and whose son is married to US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, made the comments in an open letter to French President Emmanuel Macron in the Wall Street Journal.
Echoing Israel’s criticism of France days earlier, Kushner said there had been an explosion of hatred towards Jews in France since the war in Gaza began.
In March of 2024, a middle-aged man was having a cigarette outside his Surrey, B.C., social housing complex when he noticed Jae Won Lee, a 23-year-old Australian-born permanent resident of Canada, lifting the cover off another resident’s motorcycle.
The man approached Lee to ask what he was doing, to which Lee replied, “Mind your own business, old man.”
Lee then pulled out a knife with a six-inch blade and stabbed the man’s arm before chasing him into the building’s lobby, where he stabbed him in the abdomen.
A migrant who arrived in the UK via a small boat before raping a 15-year-old girl, lived a luxurious lifestyle across Europe before entering the country. Sadeq Nikzad was jailed for nine years in June for the “harrowing attack” on the child in Falkirk, Scotland, in October 2023.

In most Western countries, including Canada, the celebration known as flag day is greeted with a kind of benevolent, restrained enthusiasm.
Rarely is it ever a visceral event, the way it has become in Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy brought that sentiment into sharp focus on Saturday, a day before Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Kyiv as a special guest for Independence Day celebrations and pledged Canada’s ongoing support of Ukraine.
