OTTAWA — Ryan Wedding, the former Olympic snowboarder accused of running a billion-dollar cocaine network for the Sinaloa Cartel, used currency exchanges in the Vancouver and Toronto areas to launder billions of dollars in drug proceeds, the United States Treasury Department alleged Friday, as it sanctioned eight Canadian money services businesses accused of moving money for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Russell Brand was reportedly “petrified” during his brutal first night in a UK prison after his rape conviction.
The disgraced comedian handed over his clothes and received a “humiliating” strip search, before he was given gray jogging bottoms, T-shirts, sweatshirts and underwear, the Sun reported on Friday.
Brand, 51, got a “first-night pack” of toiletries, including a toothbrush and toothpaste, and a food pack including cereal, tea, milk, sugar and treats like juice sticks and digestive biscuits.
The day after Mark Carney’s budget promised a return to unsustainable immigration levels, Statistics Canada revealed a higher unemployment rate.
Canada’s national unemployment rate rose in October to 6.7%, and youth unemployment spiked to 13.7%.
It is what we witnessed growing up inside Islamist societies. We sat in their schools, heard the conversations, and saw the hostility directed at the United States of America with our own eyes.
They hate America for a reason. The United States has demonstrated, in full public view, that a society can reject the core demands of Islamist Sharia rule and still become the world’s most powerful, advanced, and prosperous country. This single fact demolishes the central promise made to their own people: Submit to our version of Allah’s law, follow the leaders who claim to represent Allah, and you will receive prosperity, dignity, and success. America stands as daily proof that the opposite is possible. You do not need their system. You do not need to be dominated by it. You can flourish without it. That is intolerable.
Canada has one weird trick to help with housing affordability—sell the new homes you can’t afford to foreign buyers. That’s not a mistake; it’s the pitch in Canada’s Budget 2026, which will extend the foreign buyer ban until 2029. However, this time they plan to exempt foreign buyers to clear the stagnating inventory. Ottawa frames this as a win for affordability despite all evidence suggesting otherwise.
Carney’s developer pals are loving this I bet.
Three foreign nationals were arrested and charged with using AI to allegedly impersonate corporate CEOs and attorneys to steal over $100m, according to an indictment that was newly unsealed by the US Department of Justice.
According to a press release from the United States attorney’s office for the southern district of New York, three men – Jacob Soall, Sharon Hazan, and Guy Sheetrit – were arrested for using AI to alter and impersonate the voices and images of executives and attorneys at various companies in order to convince employees to send over large payments. Soall and Hazan were arrested in Spain over the summer, while Sheetrit was arrested in the United Kingdom in September. The alleged fraud took place between 2024 and 2026.
An Ontario mom is speaking out two years after an OPP officer driving the speeding vehicle that struck and killed her 25-year-old son was promoted shortly after the collision.
Coreena Jones says it doesn’t make sense why that officer would go from being a detective constable to detective sergeant in the wake of her son Noah Landriault’s death. The promotion comes with a pay raise that appears to be higher than the penalty imposed in Ontario’s police misconduct system.
The left rarely changes tactics. Instead, they change targets, messaging, and terminology. If you’re a conservative and you ever publicly expressed your political views on just about any topic, even climate change, there’s a good chance someone called you a racist.
The 2026 federal budget, delivered Thursday by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, contains a $15-billion lower deficit than last fall’s budget.
“Wow,” you say. “Those Carney Liberals must be doing a remarkable job at cutting government spending. They are clearly honouring their commitment to balance the budget in this election cycle.”
Conviction of the importance of military service and defence spending is slowly rising in Britain, but among the key demographic who would actually do the fighting in a future war, belief in the defence of the nation is close to rock-bottom.
And Canada? Who wants to defend deadly Sikh truckers or Mohammedans?
The federal government’s plan to allow 200,000 temporary residents to become permanent residents by the end of next year is targeted in part at clearing backlogs of people who fled unrest in Ukraine and Hong Kong, the prime minister said Friday.
“These are people who are not permanent in terms of the classification, but are effectively permanent residents, and we’re recognizing that,” said Prime Minister Mark Carney Carney at a press conference in Winnipeg.
Carney lies as usual.
Ottawa to grant up to 580,000 permanent residence in 2027
Ottawa could grant permanent residence to as many as 580,000 people in 2027, well about its 380,000 target, as a new one-time measure for up to 200,000 people already living in Canada is counted separately, officials said Friday.
Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s most controversial aide and the architect of his sweeping immigration crackdown, will become his new White House chief of staff days after Republicans lost control of the US Congress in US midterm elections.
The president announced the extraordinary appointment on Friday, confirming that Susie Wiles – his current chief of staff, and the first woman to serve in the role – had been ousted.
In a social media post, Trump called Miller, 41, “one of my most trusted advisors” and praised Wiles for doing “an outstanding job”. Miller will begin on Monday.
Claims for damages against OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting lawsuits should be heard in a San Francisco court, argue lawyers for the affected families in a new legal filing.
The filing, submitted late Nov. 5 in United States District Court, is from the lead plaintiff, the husband of an educational assistant who was killed. It is among about three dozen related lawsuits from the many families affected by the killings.
The Department of Justice reviewed criminal allegations against the Southern Poverty Law Center that went far beyond the financial charges it currently faces, court documents show.
Investigators were briefed in December 2025 about claims that the nonprofit group committed extortion, blackmail, tax evasion, obstruction of justice, and fraudulent tactics against conservative organizations, according to an “Intelligence Briefing” unveiled in court on Monday. The FBI detailed some of those allegations in an October 2025 document as it began its investigation that led to indictments against the SPLC and former top employee Heidi Beirich.
The federal government is investing $136.3 million over four years into the Black Justice Strategy, a move advocates say will help strengthen community-led programs and tackle the systemic barriers contributing to the overrepresentation of Black people in the criminal justice system, including as victims of crime.
What’s really racist is the trope that we’re responsible for the black community’s criminal lifestyle choices.
