What’s the ballot box issue for the Toronto mayoral election? It’s not yet clear. With only six weeks to go, there is no defining matter that has seized the minds of the electorate and driven the debate between candidates.
Now there doesn’t necessarily have to be such a topic. Not every election is a referendum on a divisive matter. But there are examples of previous Toronto mayoral elections that have been strongly defined by a single issue.
The sixth batch of UFO files has been released by the Pentagon, showing clusters of alleged spacecraft flying through the sky for decades.
The latest tranche was made public Friday morning, with the focus on a famous 1952 UFO sighting by a Navy photographer in Tremonton, Utah.
The newly released footage revealed ten to 14 bright objects in a clear blue sky. Newhouse, a Navy warrant officer who was on vacation with his family at the time, described them as looking like two discs stacked on top of each other – creating the classic ‘flying saucer’ shape.

Among the goodies: footage of mysterious objects swarming over Utah in 1952 and paperwork showing the government once spent nearly $22 million investigating this stuff.

A number of Conservative MPs have soured on Pierre Poilievre as leader, but despite this growing angst, his position is relatively secure because there is no strong appetite to oust him and choose someone new right now, according to party and caucus sources who spoke to CBC News.
Last year, Poilievre was on the cusp of leading his party to the largest Conservative government in a generation only to fall short when the Liberals replaced an unpopular incumbent with a leader offering a new vision.
Foreign-born suspects account for nearly three-quarters of sexual-crime arrests in Basque Country, official figures show
Official statistics released by the Basque regional police, the Ertzaintza, indicate that people born outside Spain made up 58.7 percent of all arrests in the first half of 2026 even though they represent 10.2 percent of the population. The disparity is sharper in several high-profile offense categories.
ABOVE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE — As Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government look to deepen ties with what they call “like-minded” countries that share common values, one region keeps resurfacing in the conversation: the Arctic.
In Strasbourg, France, on Thursday, Carney raised the prospect of Canada moving closer to the European Union, again pointing to the Arctic as a key area of shared interest.
“Canada and Europe are not bound by geography, even though we do share a 3,000-kilometre border in the Arctic. We are bound by an affinity — elective, chosen, and renewed, and stronger for being so,” Carney said.
Caribbean nations will try to force slavery reparations onto the agenda of the forthcoming Commonwealth summit attended by the King.
Mia Mottley, the prime minister of Barbados, is hosting a meeting of policy-makers and campaigners this week to discuss plans to secure compensation for the slave trade.
Delegates at the conference confirmed on Thursday evening that Caribbean leaders would push reparations onto the agenda at the Commonwealth heads of government meeting next month.
The problem with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s coy courtship of the European Union is that it leaves Canadians bewildered as to the nature of the relationship.
In his speech to the European Parliament Thursday, Carney showered the EU and its officials with praise, pledged strategic cooperation, called for closer ties and predicted an “alliance for the future.”

No one appears to know precisely what it would mean for Canada to become an “associate member” of the European Union. The status does not exist in EU treaties, and its legal, regulatory and commercial implications remain undefined.
That uncertainty should invite caution, but not cynicism. A renewed alliance with Europe could diversify Canadian exports, attract food-processing investment and reduce our overwhelming dependence on the United States. But success will depend on whether Canada secures reciprocal market access or simply agrees to follow more European rules. That could be a problem.

Sir Paul McCartney doesn’t like President Trump. Michelle’s his belle. But Trump? He is the subject of a new song from the singer, Despite Repeated Warnings.
Sir Paul told, “People who deny climate change, I just think it’s the most stupid thing ever. So I just wanted to make a song that would talk about that and basically say, ‘Occasionally, we’ve got a mad captain sailing this boat we’re all on and he is just going to take us to the iceberg [despite] being warned it’s not a cool idea.’”
He said Trump is the Mad Captain.
It’s astonishing how California’s leftists delude themselves about the sheet awfulness of their one-party rule of the state.
For weeks, they and their allies been claiming that mighty 100-year-old Paramount Studios, one of the historic big five of Hollywood, and which along with Warner Brothers, still makes more than a quarter of the movies released in the U.S. every year, is just bluffing about whether it will pull up stakes and move to Tennessee.
OTTAWA — Canada’s fentanyl czar has responded to President Donald Trump’s formal finding to Congress that fentanyl is produced in clandestine Canadian laboratories and that Chinese gangs operate along the northern border of the United States with a single statistic about drug seizures.
There are plenty of good reasons to be concerned about AI: destroying jobs, dumbing down students and the spectacle of people copying and pasting chatbot answers instead of doing their own research. We are looking at the very real possibility that the next generation will primarily relate to the internet, interact socially. and gain information, through AI.
It’s regulatory capture being played out in real time.
When future historians comb through the wreckage of the woke era, for clues as to what went wrong, one artefact in particular will startle them. It’s a photograph. It was taken on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. And it shows the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, sporting a smug liberal grin as she hands an award for ‘interfaith cooperation’ to some big Muslim fella. Who is he? Only someone who once gushed over Osama bin Laden, even bestowing upon him the honorific of ‘Sword of Allah’ for his lifetime of ‘fighting for Islam’.
