Right-leaning Canadians’ trust in the bodies that manage Canadian elections has declined significantly since 2019, a McGill-led research team has found.
Their research draws on data collected between 2008 to 2021 by the Canadian Election Study (with about 72,000 respondents), as well as information gathered by the Media Ecosystem Observatory after the 2021 Canadian federal election (with nearly 3,000 respondents) and the Quebec election of 2022 (with approximately 1,500 respondents).

Last year, a federal court in Washington State ruled that Premera Blue Cross unlawfully discriminated when it refused to cover elective double mastectomies for two young girls. The decision read like a harsh warning to every employer: exclude gender-transition procedures for children from your health plan and risk an Affordable Care Act discrimination claim. But the story doesn’t end there.
In July 2026, the United States filed a brief urging the Ninth Circuit to reject that court’s misguided reasoning.
One of the world’s loudest and most successful cheerleaders for gender ideology has been forced into a tactical retreat in an ongoing U.S. court case.
Anyone mildly familiar with the controversy over “gender affirming” care will be aware that proponents for this medical scandal have insisted that there is to be no debate on trans health care — and that debate is not only tantamount to heresy, but could end the lives or very existence of transgender identified persons. Critics are often met with the refrain, “the science is settled,” when they ask questions about the wisdom or safety of transitioning gender-confused minors.
The U.K. is at it again, blocking a Finnish parliamentarian, Päivi Räsänen. from entering the United Kingdom based on a “hate speech” conviction hung on her for quoting the Bible and defending Scripture, according to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO Kristen Waggoner.
CALGARY — Corus Entertainment has confirmed another round of layoffs affecting its Global News television operations and talk radio stations, marking the latest workforce changes at the media company.
The company confirmed the cuts to Broadcast Dialogue on Wednesday, saying the latest changes affect positions at Global BC, Global National, News 640 in Toronto and other talk-radio operations.
It has been almost three weeks since more than 72,000 migrants invaded Ceuta. Since then, the Spanish government has tried to reassure the world that most of those who entered the territory illegally have now returned to Morocco and order has been restored. But as growing reports of women and girls being sexually assaulted make clear, this is far from the case.
At a time when government debt is soaring across the country, it’s time for Canadians to demand that politicians be upfront about the cost of big projects before moving forward with them.
Last week, it was reported that the Ford government’s Ontario Line, a 15.6-kilometre rapid transit project set to run through the heart of Toronto, will cost at least $34 billion.

Canada and the United States are once again negotiating under the threat of tariffs. Washington has temporarily postponed a proposed 50% tariff on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods while the two countries attempt to finalize a broader trade arrangement.
Dairy access, along with American alcohol sales in Canada, has emerged as a central U.S. grievance. The threatened tariffs are excessive, and their legal justification is debatable. But Ottawa cannot dismiss every American complaint as protectionist fiction. On dairy, Washington is asking Canada to demonstrate that the market access it promised when CUSMA took effect in 2020 is real.
The month of August kicked off in devastating fashion for residents of Twin Falls, Idaho, when a rifle-wielding gunman opened fire on employees and patrons outside of In-N-Out Burger restaurant, killing three and injuring seven before taking his own life. Video quickly surfaced, however, of an armed bystander engaging the gunman during the rampage, advancing toward him while returning fire with his own suppressed pistol. Police have since praised the bystander—identified as 35-year-old healthcare worker Jordan Salinas—as a “hero,” crediting him with saving “many lives” by diverting the gunman’s attention and allowing potential victims to escape.
Canada’s tech industry is warning that the country continues to lose its best and brightest entrepreneurs to the U.S., an issue that has taken on new urgency as tariff threats have prompted Ottawa to try to diversify away from the U.S. economy.
This week, various tech entrepreneurs, politicians and economists began to weigh in on data that show just how big the problem has become. According to recent figures, there are at least 517 U.S.-based tech firms with Canadian founders — or, entrepreneurs who were educated in Canada but later left for the U.S. — that have together raised more than US$400 billion.
New footage shows migrants attacking police as officers move to prevent them from boarding a trafficker boat to enter Britain illegally, visuals that come just days after a security analyst warned Europe could be pushed to civil war-like conditions in the near-future by migrants violently resisting deportation.
Footage released by the UK's Border Security Command shows migrants clashing with police on a beach in northern France, with an officer slashing a small boat with a knife.

A word often applied to Volodymyr Zelensky by foreign leaders and commentators is “Churchillian.”
They’re referring, accurately, to the Ukrainian President’s ability to rally his people around acts of heartbreaking sacrifice, to marshal an international coalition to arm and support his country, and to embrace innovative technologies that have transformed the way the world arms itself.
“This is going to be the greatest coordinated economic isolation in the history of the world, and we are going to them and saying, you are either with us or against us,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an appearance on CNBC. “If you insist on doing business with them — either transferring money, buying their oil, doing seaborne ship transport first — then the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. government will put its full might and force toward enforcing against you.”
“We are going to squash the economy of this murderous regime, which will curtail their ability to project power through their proxies,” Bessent boasted. “So it is time for our allies and the rest of the world to make a decision.”
Treasury Secretary Bessent on Iran:
We are going to have the toughest sanctions in history, and I will tell you, this will work.
It worked in Venezuela once we put up the blockade. It is working in Cuba right now, and it is going to work in Iran, and we are going to collapse… pic.twitter.com/58PDaOM12x
