Spain’s National Police began clearing an improvised camp on the beaches of Ceuta on Thursday morning, where more than 4,000 migrants had remained since the mass crossing on July 30th.
Twenty days have passed since that border crisis, and the Spanish autonomous city is still struggling to return to a normality that remains distant.
The Carney government should not be surprised that the U.S. administration is again using tariff threats to secure Canadian concessions.
Ottawa helped make itself predictable. Over the past year, Washington has learned that Canada is divided and that applying pressure can produce results.
A woman from Halton, Ontario is freaked out after this keffiyeh-clad man brazenly drove up on her lawn at 11:30 p.m. to charge his e-bike.
This is another indication that our high trust society is quickly becoming obsolete.

A 15 per cent tariff on Canadian-made cars entering the U.S. would still be a major problem for this country’s automotive sector even if it’s better than what we’ve been threatened with, industry analysts say.
According to reports from several U.S. publications, the U.S. has agreed to cut the tariff on Canadian-made cars from the current 25 per cent to 15, as part of a tentative trade deal this week.
The bigger problem, experts say, is that the tariff would likely apply to all non-U.S. content, including Canadian-made parts.
During a heated interview with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Ashik Siddique over the party’s statement honoring Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, CNN’s Boris Sanchez suggested Siddique “have more conversations with folks who have fled that regime and what they think about these statements and the position of the DSA.”
It was an earnest ask, especially considering Sanchez’s own grandfather suffered political persecution under Castro. But it also underscored the one mistaken assumption that so many — on both the left and right — make, that is: if the DSA just knew a little bit more about Castro, or Karl Marx, or Marxism, or Maoism, so on and so forth then they’d become some variation of a capitalist, freedom-loving patriot.
An Ontario judge has discounted the sentence for an Ecuadorian man convicted of violently sexually assaulting a woman because he’s likely going to be deported when he gets out of prison.
Sergio Reyes Loor was convicted of sexual assault causing bodily harm earlier this year in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. A ban has been placed on the publication of information that would identify the victim. The Crown argued that a five-year prison sentence was in order for Reyes Loor, who is a permanent resident of Canada.
Twenty-five years ago, America was attacked on its own soil, a first since 1812. A new generation of voters never directly experienced the horrors of that once-in-a-lifetime experience, played out on TV screens like a Hollywood horror movie.
Lessons have been learned in the years since. But not by all Americans, particularly many New Yorkers.
In just about every public appearance he has made over the last few months, Doug Ford has expressed his displeasure with Donald Trump.
Often it comes as an aside to his scripted remarks, as when the Ontario premier, while recently mentioning the importance of trust in a trade relationship, veered off to say that he didn’t “trust Trump as far as I could throw him.” Or, when saying how much he generally likes Americans, he’ll pause and say, “I’ll tell ya, there’s one guy down there I don’t like too much.”

Cultural differences do exist and not all of them involve ethnic foods. It’s not just Islamic terrorism that’s at issue. There are fundamental differences in mores and morals of which this horrifying story out of Milwaukee is just one more example.
PENTICTON — A 33-year-old West Kelowna woman already on probation has become the third woman in two weeks accused of starting fires in the Interior, this time facing six charges after two grass fires in Vernon’s Commonage neighbourhood.
Mansonesque?
An academic who made plagiarism allegations against Professor Jason Arday before his death has been suspended by a university.
Professor Arday resigned from his role at the University of Cambridge this month after he faced intense scrutiny over accusations of plagiarism initially made by fellow academic Nathan Cofnas.
Mr Cofnas, who has advocated for ‘race realism’, is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University’s department of philosophy and moral sciences, according to his website.
It should come as no surprise that U.S. President Donald Trump’s Wednesday deadline to impose 50 per cent tariffs on $29 billion worth of Canadian goods came and passed with little fanfare — the president is famous for making boisterous threats and then backing down at the last minute. But as businesses, consumers and investors eagerly await details of a trade deal that may-or-may-not come by Friday, the lesson for Canadians should be that we cannot continue to allow our fate to hang on the whims of foreign politicians.
The number of people admitted to German trauma centres with life-threatening stab wounds linked to violent crime has risen sharply over the past decade, according to an analysis of data from hundreds of hospitals.
The study by the German Society for Trauma Surgery (DGU), published in the Deutsches Ärzteblatt, examined 3,664 seriously injured patients treated at 600 German hospitals between 2013 and 2024.
The number of such cases rose from 212 in 2013 to 336 in 2024, an increase of almost 59%. The figure peaked at 382 in 2023.
CALGARY — Martin Sellner, a controversial Austrian remigration activist who has been invited to speak at an upcoming nationalist conference in Hamilton, says Canadian immigration officials have left his travel application to enter the country unresolved for more than a month as political opposition to the event intensifies.
