Thousands are now Canadians under new citizenship law. Half of them are Americans

Thousands of people around the world have received Canadian citizenship certificates as a result of a change late last year to federal law.

Half of them Americans, CBC News has learned.

Some Iranians abroad say they’d fight for the regime. Others want to topple it.

KHABAT, Iraq — On a dirt road strewn with shattered concrete, Jalal Rashidi bent to pick up a shard of jagged debris. A piece of a drone, he said, that crashed into a compound of exiled Iranian Kurds soon after the United States and Israel launched their war on Iran.

About 40 families were preparing to break the Ramadan fast here in northern Iraq on March 5 when drones struck, Rashidi said. They blew out windows, peppered walls with shrapnel and tore open a courtyard.

Rashidi’s pregnant wife, he said, lost their baby. He blamed Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.

North American-made autos must contain at least 50% U.S. content, Trump negotiators tell Mexico

U.S. President Donald Trump’s negotiating team is demanding that all North American-made autos contain at least 50 per cent U.S. content, firing the opening salvo in a battle over the future of the pact governing continental trade.

American and Mexican negotiators hunkered down in Mexico City this week to start a review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, and the U.S. announced plans for two further rounds of bilateral talks that do not include Canada.

Robotaxis Are Spreading Across the U.S.—and So Is the Backlash

This was supposed to be the year that robotaxis hit Main Street across the U.S., as companies like Alphabet’s Waymo, Tesla and Amazon.com’s Zoox launch AI-powered autonomous rides in dozens of cities.

But as hundreds of robot cars collide with humans, both literally and figuratively, tensions are rising. The problems cropping up in police reports and viral social-media posts range from the concerning to the comical.

Over Mother’s Day weekend, Andy Milheizler’s quiet Atlanta cul-de-sac was overrun with empty Waymo vehicles.

Trudeau’s climate policy architects gather as Carney changes course

It was the end of an era and the four politicians who were its chief architects gathered in one room in Ottawa.

Former prime minister Justin Trudeau and his former climate change cabinet ministers — Catherine McKenna, Jonathan Wilkinson and Steven Guilbeault — on Wednesday were at the Rideau Club, a private social club near Parliament Hill.

Political operatives behind the scenes, MPs across party lines and journalists were also there. The room was packed and on a warm Ottawa evening in May it quickly got hot.

It includes Mr Trump, as well as his son Donald Trump Jr, most of the president’s cabinet, and several controversial figures including Robinson.

George Orwell becomes the latest casualty of the woke takeover of schools

George Orwell becomes the latest casualty of the woke takeover of schools

This summer, thousands of teenagers taking one of the UK’s most popular English A-level courses will have the opportunity to write about George Orwell’s groundbreaking exploration of poverty and homelessness.

Down and Out in Paris and London, published in 1933, is still lauded for its unflinching depictions of destitution. One contemporary described it as “a genuine human document, which at the same time is written with so much artistic force that, in spite of the squalor and degradation thus unfolded, the result is curiously beautiful with the beauty of an accomplished etching on copper”.

Why Canada’s homeownership rate is hiding how bad the housing crisis really is

Why Canada’s homeownership rate is hiding how bad the housing crisis really is

Two-thirds of Canadians own their home. That number—66.5 percent in the 2021 Census—is often cited whenever the country debates whether its housing market is working. Taken at face value, it reassures policymakers that the system, whatever its flaws, delivers for the majority. But look beneath the surface, and the number tells a more complicated story.

Statistics Canada recently compared housing outcomes for Millennials, Gen-Xers, and Baby Boomers at the same stage of life. The headline finding was unsurprising but dispiriting: among Millennials aged 25 to 39 in 2021, 16.3 percent were living with their parents—nearly double the 8.2 percent of Baby Boomers in the same age bracket in 1991.

Mamdani-backed DSA House hopeful’s vile hate list: Cops. ‘Liberal Zionism.’ The US. Interracial relationships.

A far-left New York congressional hopeful who just snagged Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsement spewed radical and hateful views online — trashing cops, establishment Democrats and calling the US “a f–ing disgrace.”

Darializa Avila Chevalier’s disturbing social media history came to light as Mamdani on Thursday night shockingly endorsed her bid to unseat five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY).

“I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18 but you out of your mind if you think I’m voting for a war criminal,” she wrote in 2020, using a since-deleted X account.

No deal announced after Trump meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran

No deal announced after Trump meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran

US President Donald Trump had a meeting with top aides on Friday to make a “final determination” about a framework for extending the ceasefire with Iran, but it concluded without clarity on the next steps.

He said Iran must agree to never have a nuclear weapon or bomb, that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened for “unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions”, and that any mines in the waterway are “destroyed”.

The meeting was held in the White House’s Situation Room, used for dealing with major crises. Iran earlier said it was not negotiating on its nuclear programme – which it insists is wholly for civilian purposes.

Adam Zivo: Survey suggests trans activism is turning off many Canadians, especially minorities

Adam Zivo: Survey suggests trans activism is turning off many Canadians, especially minorities

A new government report, which analyzes recent survey data gathered on gender-based issues, has indirectly confirmed that Canadian support for transgender rights is falling, and that immigrants and ethnic minorities are comparatively conservative on these matters. Though unsurprising, these insights deal yet another blow against the myths of “intersectional” progressivism and make a strong case for further ethnicity-based social research.
