In briefing to minister, RCMP warns of 488% jump in terrorism charges
The number of terrorism charges laid in Canada jumped 488 per cent last year amid rising youth radicalization, the RCMP wrote to the public safety minister.
The RCMP’s ministerial briefing binder, posted on a government website this week, said violent extremism remained “a prominent national security threat.”
“Canadian police have foiled six terrorist plots in the last 12 months alone, with arrests spanning from Edmonton to Ottawa to Toronto,” the briefing said.
Former French PM Proposes Youth Headscarf Ban After Chilling Report
Former French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s proposal to ban the wearing of headscarves for girls under the age of 15 is causing a stir within the presidential camp. The centrist party is caught between its desire to show firmness and moral pressure from the Left, which is denouncing what they view as a resurgence of Islamophobia.
The government and Emmanuel Macron’s entourage have been at loggerheads since the publication of an explosive report on the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in France. While a consensus is beginning to emerge on the findings, the suggested solutions are sowing discord.
King’s big moment in Canada after Trump row
“This is a big deal for the King to do this,” says Jeremy Kinsman, former Canadian high commissioner to the UK, as King Charles prepares for a historic visit showing support for Canada, which is facing pressure from US President Donald Trump.
“I hope that Trump understands,” says Mr Kinsman, ahead of the King becoming the first monarch to open Canada’s Parliament in almost 70 years.
So what can we expect from his speech as Canada’s head of state, to be delivered in French and English in Ottawa on Tuesday?
I don’t think Woke King Charlie is the flex they imagine.
How Putin’s new drone war is getting deadlier
The burning man died far from the front line. He was 55 years old and had two daughters. He sat back in the driver’s seat of his incinerated car, beyond help, the driver’s door open, smoke drifting off his body.
The main street in Kostiantynivka was deserted. No one wanted to linger, in case they should also be hunted down and similarly slain by a Russian FPV (first person view) drone. So the dead man burned unattended in his car outside the town hall, a scatter of drone fragments and rubble shards around him.
‘Defined by delivery’: Energy minister says Canada will become a superpower
The federal government is pushing for more energy development across the country, but emphasizes that the work on the projects must be done with all proper consultation.
Canada’s Minister of Energy Tim Hodgson made the remarks during a conference at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce on Friday.
“Today we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. Global economies and markets are volatile. President Trump’s tariffs are disrupting trade, threatening Canadian jobs and industries and rewriting the rules of the game,” Hodgson said.
Smells like Bullshit to me.
Jewish protester charged over placard mocking terrorist leader
A Jewish protester was arrested by the Met Police after he briefly held a placard satirising a Hezbollah terrorist leader, The Telegraph can reveal.
The British man, who has asked to remain anonymous for his safety, was detained and charged last September over a cartoon which showed Hasan Nasrallah, the Lebanese terror chief, with a pager and the words “beep, beep, beep”.
The placard satirised a targeted Israeli attack, dubbed Operation Grim Beeper, in which explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies killed 42 people, mostly Hezbollah terrorists. Nasrallah survived but was killed in an airstrike a week later.

It now marks three weeks since two young siblings were reported missing from their home in a rural part of Nova Scotia, and police have remained tight lipped on any indication on their whereabouts.

ANDERSON: Alberta independence will come
Is Alberta truly strong and free? That’s a loaded question these days. It has been nearly month since the 2025 federal election, and I think it’s safe to say Alberta continues to experience a fierce wave of political rage.
Talk of independence is at a fever pitch, surpassing what was experienced in the 1980s or the 2000s. The tut-tut condescension of Eastern media, and the finger-wagging of federalist lap dogs like failed premier Jason Kenney, are doing nothing to quell the sentiment. These voices don’t even register in our communities anymore.
‘Green Energy’ Is Quietly Polluting A Landfill Near You
While green advocates commonly use the terms renewable, sustainable, and net zero to describe their efforts, the dirty little secret is that much of the waste from solar panels and wind turbines is ending up in landfills.
The current amounts of fiberglass, resins, aluminum and other chemicals — not to mention propeller blades from giant wind turbines — pose no threat currently to local town dumps, but this largely ignored problem will become more of a challenge in the years ahead as the 500 million solar panels and the 73,000 wind turbines now operating in the U.S. are decommissioned and replaced.
Doctor Who Star Ncuti Gatwa “Axed” and BBC Show to be “Put on Pause” Amid Falling Ratings and Woke Storylines
… The BBC programme is also said to have been paused for an extended break amid criticism about plots about non-binary aliens and incels.
Fans of the show have also lamented some of the programme’s best loved villains being given ‘woke’ facelifts. In one episode Ncuti’s Doctor admitted he was gay.
It came after Gatwa’s withdrawal from presenting the UK’s Eurovision jury scores on Saturday night after Israel made the final. Gatwa has previously been vocal in his support for Palestine.
Ottawa has to allow home prices to fall to make housing more affordable, experts say
OTTAWA – Housing experts are pushing back against a federal cabinet minister’s recent claim that home prices don’t need to go down in order to restore housing affordability.
Gregor Robertson, the former mayor of Vancouver who was elected to the House of Commons in April, sparked the debate after he was sworn in as housing minister earlier this, when a reporter asked him whether he thinks home prices need to fall.
“No, I think that we need to deliver more supply, make sure the market is stable. It’s a huge part of our economy,” he said.
People holding “underwater mortgages” are increasing and are typically found in urban centres like those that voted for Carney.
Chicago Mayor Says He Racially Discriminates Out of Generosity
Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson, arguably the worst mayor in the country, with an approval rating of 6%, is being investigated for racially discriminatory hiring.
Johnson, who just appointed a man who was tearing down Jewish hostage posters, ranted about “the president’s animus towards women, people of color, working people.”
