A non-citizen with a manslaughter conviction was under court-ordered supervision when police found a loaded handgun, cocaine and fentanyl in his car.
David Jajua, 34, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years last month in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
President Donald Trump has said he will “immediately” ask the US Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging birthright citizenship in the US.
It comes a week after the high court ruled that those born in the US have a constitutional right to citizenship, rejecting Trump’s executive order that sought to restrict the 150-year-old policy.
While the Supreme Court allows for such a request, the high court has rarely ever granted a rehearing. The last time a decided case was reheard was some 60 years ago.
OTTAWA — Canada might not buy a full slate of 12 submarines through its new partnership with Germany and Norway because of factors like advancing technology in autonomous underwater machines, says the government’s secretary of state for defence procurement.
In an interview with the Star on Wednesday, Stephen Fuhr said the government has not settled on how many 212CD submarines it will ultimately buy as negotiations begin on the purchase of “up to” 12 of the modern diesel-electric craft from German-based shipbuilder TKMS.
The Belfast knife attack suspect appeared in court today – as police scramble to work out his country of origin.
Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old asylum seeker, has been charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, 44, who lost an eye and suffered injuries to his face, head and back in the attack last month.
Graphic video footage filmed by witnesses and shared on social media showed a man armed with a knife pinning another man to the ground before repeatedly striking him to the face and neck.
Ottawa told Washington its safeguards against imports made with forced labour are robust enough as the threat of additional U.S. tariffs looms.
The Canadian government filed an official response with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on July 6, the deadline for doing so.
“Canada respectfully submits that there is no basis for the imposition of additional Section 301 duties on Canadian goods,” says the document. It argues Canada has an existing prohibition against forced labour goods and has introduced new legislative measures to reinforce the regime.

Alfie Coleman was 16 when Britain went into Covid lockdown and, like many teenagers, he spent more time online than he should have. Doomscrolling in his bedroom, he found much to trouble his young mind – including apocalyptic warnings about climate change.
But while other worried youngsters might have been tempted to join Extinction Rebellion (XR), Coleman favoured an even more extreme form of direct action.

Just how nonsensical does a pitch for a new oil pipeline have to be, in the current political climate, to be rejected out of hand?
Courtesy of Doug Ford and Danielle Smith, we’re about to find out.
This week’s proposal by the two premiers to build a 3,300-kilometre route to Ontario from Alberta is, at the outset, not being taken very seriously even by many of the people who were pushing for the new west-coast pipeline tentatively announced a few days earlier.
Democrat Graham Platner has suspended his campaign for US Senate in Maine, following a series of scandals that included a woman accusing him of sexual assault.
In the days since the accusation was made, Democrats have called on him to drop out of the race considered pivotal to their chances of gaining control of the US Senate.
In a video posted online, Platner said his decision was not an admission of guilt but due to Democrats’ threats to cut off campaign support. He called the assault allegation “false”.

As a university student in Vancouver a decade ago, I’d regularly hit up the Warehouse, an ultra-budget pub because they offered an enticing $5 burger or plate of pasta. I went back recently, and when I saw that the same items today run around $12, I felt something between shock and bereavement.
The average wages of Canadians certainly didn’t double. Canadians are earning about $1,300 a week, up roughly a third since 2016. That bump has been swallowed up, as everything has become more expensive — groceries alone have risen just as much. The asking rent on a Vancouver one-bedroom has, just like the burger, more than doubled. I do love to reminisce about the $800/month rent I landed for a two-bedroom back in 2013, split with a roommate. And then, I look at the $3,000 I pay today, and I can only grimace.
Bonnie Tyler, the gravelly voiced, Grammy-nominated Welsh pop star best known for singing the chart-topping power ballad “Total Eclipse of the Heart” in 1983, and seeing new generations succumb to its bombastic charms during solar and lunar eclipses, has died. She was 75.
NATO countries are bolstering their militaries after U.S. President Donald Trump “won the argument” on defence spending, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday.
Trump has long said allies don’t spend enough on defence and that the U.S. has carried more than its fair share of NATO’s defence spending burden.
Carney told reporters in Turkey on the last day of the summit that Trump is looking to shift that burden – something former U.S. president Barack Obama had sought as well.
🚨 UPDATE: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has just stunned the world, telling all allies to "ADMIT TRUMP WAS RIGHT"
"The alliance that has leaned TOO HEAVILY on U.S. muscle is building its own — and buying American."

Prime Minister Mark Carney is appointing Conservative MP Richard Martel to the Senate because Martel has held a Quebec seat (Chicoutimi-Le Fjord) that was Liberal until Martel won it in a byelection in 2018. Carney wants it back for his party.
