Canada’s economy looked like it was booming. Then slower immigration made it difficult to maintain that illusion. Economists at BMO Capital Markets challenged the narrative that population growth fuels economic growth. Looking at over 50 years of data, the bank warned investors there’s zero correlation between population and economic growth. The manufactured boom briefly provided a distraction from a weak economy, pairing it with a housing crisis that’s now in full correction mode.
Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Monday that Mexico would be filing criminal complaints in the US for the deaths of more than a dozen Mexican migrants in immigration detention and those killed in anti-migrant operations.
The deaths include last week’s killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, whom Sheinbaum said was “practically murdered”.
“It’s a case that sparks outrage among all Mexicans,” the Mexican president said during her morning news conference. “We cannot simply continue with diplomatic letters that have yielded no results.”
Last Tuesday, Canadian author, documentarian and activist Naomi Klein admitted on Bluesky that she “truly f—ked up” for not doing her “due diligence” on Graham Platner, who recently won the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, before she praised him as an “ extraordinary political communicator ” in March.
Klein’s apology followed last Monday’s publication of Politico’s interview with Jenny Racicot, a 41-year-old woman who accused Platner of forcing her to have sex with him five years ago, after she objected.
But last Monday wasn’t the first time Platner’s sexual impropriety made the news.
Twelve people have been arrested over an alleged right-wing terror threat to an Islamic event at a country estate in Suffolk, police said.
Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) said the UK Ijtima event at Shrubland Hall at Barham was ended early on Sunday as a precaution after the possible threat.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the response of the police in tackling a “credible threat” to the festival had “undoubtedly saved lives”.
CALGARY — The CBC has refused to disclose how much it paid on-air commentators and analysts who appeared on its programs, citing exemptions under the Access to Information (ATI) Act.

When the power cut out and his signal dropped, TJ knew something was wrong.
Seconds later, the banging started on his front door. Terrified, he stood as still as possible with his wife and three-year-old daughter, hoping they wouldn’t be noticed.
But the Chinese police officers broke down the door, shoved his wife and child into a separate room and began to question TJ.
Canada leaves this week’s NATO Summit in Ankara with good reason for cautious optimism. After years of debating defence budgets and delayed procurements, the Alliance has reached an important turning point. The discussion is no longer about promises. It is about military capability. That is precisely where Canada’s focus must remain.
For years, NATO measured commitment by the percentage of GDP devoted to defence. That benchmark still matters, but it is no longer sufficient. The true measure of national security is whether those dollars produce soldiers, ships, submarines, aircraft, armoured vehicles and ammunition that can fight. Capability deters aggression. Announcements do not.
Rochdale grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed could be deported to a third country if Pakistan refuses to take him, officials have suggested.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesman refused to rule out removing Ahmed to another state – not yet named – if he cannot be deported to Pakistan.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to publish potential changes to the law later on Monday which will be designed to change a 55-year-old law which currently prevent’s Ahmed’s removal.
Belarusians living in Canada who criticize the authoritarian Lukashenko government that rules their homeland are facing retaliation from Minsk, according to a new report on transnational repression.
The report, published by the Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) of the Atlantic Council, a U.S. think tank, documents cases among the Belarusian community in Alberta.
During its state party congress in Saxony-Anhalt over the weekend, AfD unveiled its government program for the first hundred days after the September election, with polls suggesting that it could form a single-party government at the state level for the first time.
In line with voter expectations, migration is among the most important points that AfD wants to tackle head-on. The 100-day program includes “deportations from minute one,” and pledges that “all available options” will be used to deport as many illegal migrants as possible, something that both the CDU’s local and federal governments have failed to deliver on for years.
Canada will have to squeeze at least another decade of life out of its used British submarines as it waits for Germany to deliver up to 12 new vessels. But not everyone’s convinced that can be done.
The four diesel-electric subs the Royal Canadian Navy acquired from Britain in the late 1990s have been plagued with disasters, including floods, a deadly fire and a grounding that took the only operational sub we have right now out of action for a decade.

Canada likes to describe itself as a mature democracy. We are often told by the Laurentian elite, who have never been shy about lecturing the West, that this country is built on tolerance, debate, pluralism, and peaceful disagreement.
Then Albertans start talking seriously about independence, and suddenly those principles become negotiable.

German director Uwe Boll’s new hit movie Citizen Vigilante, in which (spoiler alert!) actor Armie Hammer shoots dead an entire family of Muslim immigrants in retaliation for one of their number’s brutal rape of a native white woman somewhere in continental Europe, has been controversial for many reasons: its violence, its alleged “racism,” and its supposed potential to inspire copycat crimes.
