Canadians Choose Capability Over Job Creation in F-35 Versus Gripen-E Decision: Poll

Canadians Choose Capability Over Job Creation in F-35 Versus Gripen-E Decision: Poll

Canadians want the government to purchase the best fighter jets for the nation’s air force instead of prioritizing the option that generates the highest number of jobs, a new study suggests.

The Liberal government announced in 2023 its decision to procure 88 F-35 jets from Lockheed Martin to update Canada’s aging CF-18 Hornet fleet. But Prime Minister Mark Carney asked for a review of the deal in March 2025 while the trade dispute between Canada and the United States was in its beginning stages.

US is being ‘humiliated’ by Iran’s leadership, says Friedrich Merz

The US is being “humiliated” by Iran’s leadership, according to Friedrich Merz, Germany’s chancellor, who suggested the Trump administration was being outwitted at the negotiating table by Tehran.

Two days ago Donald Trump cancelled a trip by US negotiators to Islamabad for indirect talks with an Iranian delegation. A previous round in the Pakistani capital two weeks earlier, when JD Vance, the American vice-president, led the US delegation, broke up without progress.

Merz’s trenchant assessment of the stalled US-Iranian talks, which appeared certain to deepen the severe transatlantic rift between the US and its Nato allies, directly contradicts Trump’s effort to cast the limbo in a positive light.

Rogers Communications offering buyouts to half its work force

Rogers Communications offering buyouts to half its work force

Rogers Communications Inc. is offering voluntary departure packages to 50 per cent of its employees, the largest round of buyout offers in the sector in recent years as telecom revenue growth has slowed across the industry and as companies look to shed costs.

On Monday, Rogers said that about half of its 25,000 employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages, but did not say whether it had a reduction target.

No indication yet of what role AI may have played in the decision.

When I closed my Rogers account they forced me to speak with a member of their ‘Customer Loyalty” team who as I found out was located in the Philippines.

King to defend ‘democratic values’ as US state visit begins

King Charles and Queen Camilla have arrived in the US at the start of a four-day state visit – the first since Queen Elizabeth II’s visit in 2007.

They arrived at Andrews military airbase in Maryland before being greeted at the White House by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Security is extremely tight after the shooting incident in Washington DC at an event attended by the president on Saturday.

King Charles will address the US Congress on Tuesday and it is expected that he will express sympathy over the attack.

Majority of Carney’s Liberals have faith in his leadership. Here are the ones who don’t, according to a poll

Majority of Carney’s Liberals have faith in his leadership. Here are the ones who don’t, according to a poll

When Prime Minister Mark Carney won government last year, several issues important to Canadians were awaiting his immediate attention.

And while it seems many Canadians think he and his cabinet have done a respectable job addressing some, a new Angus Reid Institute (ARI) poll shows the priorities at the top of most voters’ minds, including those of Liberal balloters, are not getting the attention they deserve in Ottawa.

Secret Service Reform Is A Literal Life-Or-Death Necessity

Secret Service Reform Is A Literal Life-Or-Death Necessity

First it was Butler, Pennsylvania. Then it was Palm Beach County (twice). And now, in Washington, D.C., Americans witnessed yet another significant attempt on President Trump’s life.

During this past weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a lone gunman stormed past “security” with the alleged goal of killing Trump and high-level members of his administration. Identified as a California resident and a reported Democrat donor, the suspect bears all the hallmarks of someone indoctrinated by the left’s media/online disinformation ecosystem — the same ecosystem that regularly slanders Trump and his supporters as “Nazis,” “threats to democracy,” and “literally Hitler.”

BANGKOK/TORONTO — When Thai police pulled over a white Suzuki moving through Bangkok’s busiest shopping districts last August, the officers trailing it were already receiving the proof on their own phones — fake banking alerts, broadcast live by the hardware in the trunk of the car ahead of them.

Progressives Push to Remake Christianity in Their Image

Progressives Push to Remake Christianity in Their Image

As many have noted in recent years, Christianity in the West is in decline, and a principal reason is that the “muscular Christianity” of a bygone era has been watered down by an infiltration of Progressives determined to weaken Christian morality by making it more “tolerant” and “inclusive” of Left-wing causes such as gender ideology and the feminist siege of the “patriarchy.”

The bougie nihilism that is killing America

People are bemused that the man who allegedly rushed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with all guns blazing was a teacher. Why? It should be common knowledge by now that a not insignificant number of American teachers go weak-kneed for a spot of political violence. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September last year, teachers all over America were sacked or placed on leave for dancing on his grave before it had even been dug.

Matthew Taub: Toronto has lost confidence in its police leadership

Matthew Taub: Toronto has lost confidence in its police leadership

When someone who spent decades inside a police service starts raising concerns publicly, people pay attention. Former Toronto police homicide inspector Hank Idsinga has done exactly that, and what he has alleged should concern every resident of this city.

Idsinga has stated publicly that antisemitism exists within the senior ranks of the Toronto Police Service, describing incidents in which officers used antisemitic language toward Jewish colleagues and community members. He has also pointed to anti-Black racism within policing culture and described broader dysfunction at senior levels. More troubling still, he suggested that those same senior figures were involved in decision-making around policing protests that affected Jewish communities, raising serious questions about whether bias may have influenced operational responses.

I’m being persecuted, says animal rights activist convicted after accidentally killing two restaurant lobsters in botched ‘jailbreak’

I’m being persecuted, says animal rights activist convicted after accidentally killing two restaurant lobsters in botched ‘jailbreak’

An animal rights activist who attempted to ‘free’ a crayfish by stealing it from a restaurant and throwing it into the sea has claimed she was the victim of a police ‘witch-hunt’ after being convicted of criminal damage.

Eco-warrior Emma Smart, 47, stormed into Catch at the Old Fish Market in Weymouth, Dorset to ‘liberate the lobster’, which she believed was going to be eaten.

However, the creature, which was not on the menu and was kept in a tank as a pet for ‘educational purposes’, would likely have died the moment it hit the cold water in the harbour.
