A new national survey suggests that Canadians anticipate significant changes in technology, the economy, and global politics over the next five years — though the poll shows there is a distinct generational gap as opinions vary widely by age and political affiliation.
The study, conducted by Abacus Data, which polled 1,686 Canadians from Jul. 31 to Aug.7, 2025, found that there was skepticism about rapid adoption of driverless automobiles and pilotless planes.
The idea of doing violence to one’s political opponents has become mainstream on the left. Don’t believe me? Consider the case of one Iman Abdul, a 27-year-old woman who has worked on the campaigns of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Swizzle Stick) and New York state Sen. Julia Salazar (D-Of Course). Abdul has just been arrested for calling for an attack on a high school because a large number of Jewish students go to it.
The RCMP say a fourth person has been charged in an alleged human smuggling operation after 44 people were found in “horrific” conditions inside a cube truck earlier this month in Quebec near the United States border.
Tolga Yilmaz, 34, was arrested at Montreal Trudeau International Airport on Aug. 8, allegedly on his way out of the country. The RCMP announced the arrest Tuesday in a media release.
Ogulcan Mersin, 25, and Dogan Alakus and Firat Yuksek, both 31, were charged on Aug. 4.
Among the maelstrom of allegations about two-tier policing, and a justice system where ethnicity still seems to be very much a factor in what sort of justice you can expect to receive, there has been a flash of reassurance for those longing for a return to common sense and fairness.
This came last week, when two officers from West Midlands Police knocked on the door of a suspected ‘anti-migrant’ protester in Coventry. Speaking through the intercom, one policeman tells the resident that they have been sent to deliver a leaflet ahead of an upcoming protest in nearby Nuneaton, where a child was allegedly raped by an asylum seeker.
In the brilliant book MASH, by Richard Hooker (real name H. Richard Hornberger), Captain Walter “The Painless Pole” Waldowski, a brilliant, handsome, and priapic surgical dentist, suffers from what today would be diagnosed as bipolarism, periodically becoming deeply depressed. His doctor friends offer him the ultimate suicide, complete with a huge party and a painless final shot. In fact, it’s a con, for they simply knock him out to help him sleep off his depression, and they even give the well-endowed dentist a blue ribbon award while he sleeps. All ends well.
“We’re going to see a radical lurch to the Right over the next five to ten years.”
James Orr is an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the University of Cambridge. He is Chair of the Edmund Burke Foundation UK, whose aim is to strengthen the principles of national conservatism in Western and other democratic countries. He was recently appointed chairman of the advisory board of a new pro-Reform UK think tank, the Centre for a Better Britain. He believes Reform UK is the only political force in Britain with a meaningful chance of success that “still believes in the nation.” We recently talked to James Orr in the Hungarian city of Esztergom on the sidelines of the MCC Feszt.
If Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking for ways to save money, he can start by shooting fish in a barrel: He can scrap the gun confiscation program that law enforcement leaders and academic experts say won’t work.
Carney’s government says it’s working super hard on a spending review. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told the rest of cabinet to come up with “ambitious savings proposals” to control government outlay.
Another migrant living at a controversial asylum hotel in Essex has been charged with a series of offences, including sexual assault.
Mohammed Sharwarq, a Syrian national living at The Bell Hotel in Epping, faces seven charges linked to offences alleged to have been committed between July 25 and August 12.
In any other context, the buying and selling of children would be rightly reviled. Yet when it comes to commercial surrogacy, many turn a blind eye.
To be clear, babies are certainly worth celebrating — especially in an increasingly selfish society that depicts parenthood as a form of punishment. But not all methods of conception are created equal.
Canada’s federal prison system now employs more staff than it houses inmates, according to newly released Correctional Service figures, raising fresh concerns about the soaring cost of the country’s penal system.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Correctional Service Canada (CSC) reported having more than 20,000 employees, compared to 14,837 inmates held across 43 federal penitentiaries. Another 8,717 individuals are currently on parole in the community. The system operates with a $3.9 billion annual budget.

Donald Trump has warned Vladimir Putin there would be “severe consequences” if he did not agree to end his war on Ukraine at their summit in Alaska on Friday.
The US president revealed on Wednesday his intention to seek an immediate second meeting with Putin, this time involving Volodymyr Zelensky, after their one-on-one talks in Alaska.
Mr Trump said: “If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one. I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they’d like to have me there.”

The Conservatives want to change the Criminal Code to eliminate what they say is a double standard in the justice system that allows non-citizens to get lighter sentences than Canadians who have been convicted of the same crime.
“When it comes to sentencing non-citizens, Canada has essentially adopted a form of two-tier justice,” Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said Wednesday in Ottawa.
“This offends all principles of fairness that should be foundational to our justice system.”
