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.
Volkswagen is considering making its first American pickup in 40 years. Nissan is promising more rugged SUVs. And Detroit is racing to maintain its high margins in the heartland.
The U.S. is emerging as the last true profit engine for the world’s carmakers—and the auto industry is scrambling to compete.
“My top three priorities are: U.S.A.,” Hyundai CEO José Muñoz said at a recent event, explaining why so many of the South Korean automaker’s new models are tailored for American drivers.
U.S., European and Asian automakers are all focused on making and selling cars in the U.S. because of Americans’ proclivity for large pickups and SUVs—vehicles with high profit margins—and their willingness to swallow record-high sticker prices. New car prices are hovering around $50,000, while roughly one-fifth of new-vehicle buyers have monthly car payments that top $1,000.
Ottawa is loosening rules for the Temporary Foreign Worker program, allowing select employers to hire more of those workers, and doubling the length of time they can work for the same employer.
The federal government announced major reforms of the program on Friday after hinting at them in Thursday’s budget. Business groups, such as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, have lobbied the Liberal government in the past year to allow employers to staff more of their businesses with foreign workers, arguing that tightening of immigration rules in 2024 left them struggling to find workers.

🚨🇵🇱 A Polish police officer confronted the HEAVILY armed gunman in Kraków and helped bring a DEADLY shooting rampage to an end.

His weapon is believed to have been a Haenel CR carbine or a similar AR-15-style rifle fitted with an optical sight.
FIVE people were killed and more than a dozen wounded after the gunman opened fire in the city’s historic Main Market Square.

WASHINGTON—Today, as part of Operation Economic Outcast, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated eight money services businesses based in Canada that enable the Iranian regime, sanctioned entities associated with the regime, and other illicit actors that move assets into and out of Iran. These companies facilitate the exchange of Iranian rials and other currencies for digital assets to enable international transactions involving Iran. Many of these businesses have facilitated transactions with sanctioned Iranian digital asset exchanges, as well as with digital asset addresses associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
“Canada cannot be a safe haven for illicit financial facilitators that provide sanctions evasion services to the Iranian regime and its proxies,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “Treasury will pursue and disrupt the Iranian regime’s financial channels anywhere in the world.”
Carney wants Canada balkanized by mass immigration so a united front cannot be mounted against his pals China, Iran, India and the drug cartels.
ALBANY, Ga. — Three teenagers and one adult have been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the death of 15-year-old Austin Payne, according to the Albany Police Department (APD).
The department says officers responded to the 800 block of Cameo Lane on Nov. 1, 2026, after receiving a report of an incident. When officers arrived, they found Payne dead inside an abandoned home.

Ontario’s top court has drawn the line on when the immigration consequences of a sentence veer into unfit punishment in the case of a woman who struck a stranger in the head with a tossed table and two glass bottles.
It dismissed the Mississauga, Ont., woman’s claim that the judge, who sentenced her to a year in jail for the “gratuitous” attack that left her female victim with permanent and disfiguring injuries, failed to properly consider adverse immigration consequences.
The city of Harwood in North Dakota does not have much to put it on the map. With a population of 794, the town is best known for a heroic operation in 1997 when locals built a five-mile wall to keep out floods, as well as its wonderfully relaxed local motto: “It’s all good.”
Harwood’s easygoing nature became more apparent this week when it became the only place in America to vote in favour of data centres. Around 325 voters, three quarters of turnout, voted against a proposal to slow large industrial developments including data centres. The measure, if passed, may have affected plans for a $3bn (£2.2bn) development by the tech company Applied Digital near the town.
The Democrats’ “Blue Tsunami” on Tuesday washed in a wave of promising firsts: the first Muslim senator, the first openly gay senator, the first Black female governor, the first Indigenous female governor and six transgender and non-binary people who will be the first in their state legislatures.
In addition, the improbable victories of progressive candidates like Abdul El-Sayed (Michigan) and Troy Jackson (Maine), who backed trans rights, abortion access and ending aid to Israel, offered a strong rebuke not only to Trumpism, but also to the conservatism that has leeched across the political spectrum to infect many Democrats.
Katy Perry was all but airbrushed from her ex-husband’s trial but the pop star may have witnessed one of his attacks, it can now be revealed.
In legal argument ahead of the case going before a jury, it was claimed Ms Perry may have been in the room when Russell Brand put his head in a woman’s lap during filming for Channel 4.
Ian Winter KC, defending, said of the 2009 incident: ‘She [the victim] says that other people were in the room and witnessed it, possibly including the defendant’s future wife, Ms Katy Perry.’
A House of Commons committee will not study vandalism, arson, and other criminal attacks against places of worship in Canada after its chair ruled that a proposed study fell outside the committee’s mandate.
Conservative MP Andrew Lawton challenged the ruling, but committee members voted 7-4 to uphold it.
Lawton introduced a motion on Oct. 29 calling on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage to examine vandalism, arson, shootings, and other criminal attacks against churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship across the country.
Claudia Vosen and her 15-year-old daughter were among the women caught in the crowd outside Cologne’s central train station on New Year’s Eve 2015. In roughly 30 minutes, a group of migrant men passed them from one to another, groping and sexually assaulting them from all sides. They were just two victims among 1,200 women who were assaulted on that fateful New Year’s Eve.
Canadians cannot eat a budget announcement. They need their grocery money to go further. That is the test Ottawa’s latest fiscal plan must pass, regardless of how many billions appear beside the word affordability.

Within hours of the November 5 federal budget landing, a post by Jason James was circulating on X, claiming Canada “imported 36.5% of its population in the last 10 years” and calling it “an atomic bomb going off in every major city.”
In its budget, the government has just announced that it will bring 15,000 elderly parents and grandparents each year, under the family reunification program.
That’s 15,000 elderly people a year putting pressure on our hospitals and social services. And they get citizenship, no language test required.
Then they can vote for the politicians who pander to ethnic interests. We are losing our country. Surrey is a foreign nation on our soil.
