Canada’s Newspaper of Record Asks: ‘What If They Ultimately Find Nothing?’

Canada’s Newspaper of Record Asks: ‘What If They Ultimately Find Nothing?’

A month ago, I offered some predictions about how Canadian journalists would cover the five-year anniversary of the country’s infamous “unmarked graves” social panic, which began on May 27, 2021. On one hand, this kind of important landmark would be difficult for news outlets to ignore. (After all, this was considered the Canadian “Story of the Year” at the time.) On the other hand, any intellectually honest retrospective that these outlets produced would require at least some passing explanation as to why the entire Canadian media establishment had fallen hook, line, and sinker for a story that turned out to be fake—something that most journalists have so far proven unwilling to do.

Green MSP who claimed to have ‘grown up starving’ in India exposed as privately educated with privileged upbringing

A newly elected Scottish Green MSP who claimed they had “grown up starving” in India was privately educated with a privileged upbringing, it has been revealed.

Q Manivannan won a seat at Holyrood this month representing Edinburgh & Lothians East after campaigning as a “queer Tamil immigrant” who would stand up for the “working class and marginalised”.

He’s not even a citizen.

Is Canada about to break apart?

Is Canada about to break apart?

Alberta is about to decide whether it wants to stay in Canada or take steps to become an independent nation.

The provincial premier, Danielle Smith, recently announced that Alberta will hold a referendum to determine its future in Canada. The question to be asked will be: “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

Carney failed to give a credible response to US proposal for a collective North American defence pact says Pentagon official

Carney failed to give a credible response to US proposal for a collective North American defence pact says Pentagon official

WASHINGTON – A high-ranking U.S. defence official says the Pentagon gave Ottawa a classified paper laying out priorities for a collective North American defence pact with Canada, but that Ottawa did not deliver a “credible” response.

That lack of response is just one of several irritants the senior Pentagon official said is creating a rift in North American defence co-operation. Canada’s delayed decision around the procurement of F-35 fighter jets was also cited as a source of frustration.

The official from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration briefed a small group of mostly Canadian journalists this week on background in order to speak more candidly about Canada-U.S. relations.

Carney’s negotiating strategy seems to be about making Canada a pariah state to all but China and perhaps North Korea.

Inside the Enhanced Games, Where Athletes Compete on Steroids. And Growth Hormones. And Adderall.

“Just outside this window, here’s the US base that they’re targeting,” says Ben Proud, the 31-year-old British swimmer and Olympian . He turns his video camera around to show me the night sky above Abu Dhabi, where he’s been watching Emirati defenses intercept Iranian missiles.

His phone dings each time one is incoming—an alert to stay inside. “This building used to be an air force base, so it’s very sturdy,” he says of the Erth hotel, where the athletes competing in the Enhanced Games are currently training. “If you’re inside, you’re away from the danger. Pretty much.”

BORG: Toronto wants to look world-class for FIFA 2026 — the reality is falling apart

BORG: Toronto wants to look world-class for FIFA 2026 — the reality is falling apart

TORONTO — Toronto politicians love to sell the city as a world-class destination ready to welcome the globe for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The ads are polished, the slogans are optimistic, and the promises are endless. But outside the carefully crafted marketing campaigns lies a city already struggling to handle its own daily pressures.

The reality is uncomfortable: Toronto is not in shape to host an event of this scale.

Carpay: ‘Grave Threat to Privacy’: Resistance to Lawful Access Bill Mounts

Carpay: ‘Grave Threat to Privacy’: Resistance to Lawful Access Bill Mounts

Why do Canadians cherish privacy in the first place? If a person has nothing to hide, why should they care if the authorities can read their emails, texts, or AI conversations? Why does Section 8 of the Charter expressly protect Canadians against unreasonable search and seizure?

Even completely innocent people who have nothing to hide rightfully cherish their ability to think, speak, explore ideas, and meet with others, without the state silently observing their every move. If we are not comfortable with a nosy neighbour (or even a close friend!) knowing everything about us, why should we accept the state knowing all kinds of things about our personal lives?

Call of Duty-style system hailed as gamechanger for Ukraine’s war

Call of Duty-style system hailed as gamechanger for Ukraine’s war

Small skulls hover on screens inside boardrooms in Kyiv. What looks like the scoreboard of a video game represents the number of Russians killed on the front line in Ukraine.
Kills translate into points and the more virtual points a Ukrainian unit scores, the better the weapons it can buy on the Brave1 online marketplace.

This gamification of the war does not suit everyone. Western leaders have apparently left the meetings grim-faced, perhaps because the cold reality of modern warfare is difficult to square with the Call of Duty-style icons.

Donald Trump’s latest egregious example of putting the screws to Canada

Donald Trump’s latest egregious example of putting the screws to Canada

The Trump administration’s decision this week to “suspend” the 86-year-old Permanent Joint Board on Defence sent some of us scurrying back to our well-thumbed copies of “The Good Allies,” the late Tim Cook’s study of the wartime alliance between Canada and the United States.

The joint board on defence, which the Americans clearly no longer regard as “permanent,” has (or had) its origins in that alliance. It was a forum for Canadians and Americans, mostly senior military leaders, to hash out common defence issues a couple of times a year.

Wait till the CUSMA review.

‘Big Brothers’ of Chinese Transnational Crime Ran Global Fentanyl Cash Laundering for Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels, from Dubai to Latin America

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — In a case kept largely under seal to protect an active investigation and the safety of witnesses, two alleged senior figures in Chinese transnational criminal networks — each carrying the “Big Brother” honorific that signals high-ranking leadership — have been charged in a United States federal court with laundering fentanyl proceeds for the Sinaloa Cartel and the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, according to court documents obtained by The Bureau.

Reparations: Who Pays Whom?

Reparations: Who Pays Whom?

Reparations, its proponents insist, are payments white Americans owe black Americans for enslaving them, a practice that ended 163 years ago. These advocates would have us believe that seven or eight generations after the fact, the limitations and inequalities of slavery still hold slavery’s descendants back and deny them their chance at the American dream. And somebody has to pay.

Setting aside the logic of that claim for the moment — while noting its similarity to the familiar liberal mantra: “Vote for us, and we’ll give you stuff!” — let us consider the practical question: Who exactly should pay whom?
