A dozen Jewish teachers have filed human rights complaints against four Ontario school boards and two teachers’ unions, alleging they were discriminated against amid persistent incidents of antisemitism.
The group named in their complaint the Toronto District School Board, York Region District School Board, Simcoe County District School Board, Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation.
A UK-Iranian dual national has been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts in connection with the incident at RAF Fairford, counter-terror police have said.
The 27-year-old man was arrested in Westminster, London. A second man, a 26-year-old UK national, has also been questioned under caution, and two properties in the area have been searched.
Five men in their twenties who were arrested near the Gloucestershire airbase on Sunday remain on police bail. All five were UK nationals from London.
In May, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that the Swedish company Saab would be Canada’s preferred supplier for its surveillance aircraft. Last week, the government signed a preliminary agreement to purchase six of Saab’s GlobalEye planes, using Canadian-supplied Bombardier jets as the base.
The GlobalEye was one of three contenders for the multibillion-dollar contract. The other two were American.
FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Like many Florida municipalities, officials in St. Lucie County recently decided to get rid of all their automated license-plate readers made by Flock, the company whose cameras have drawn scrutiny over police misuse and data privacy concerns.
County officials thought they had 52 of the cameras — which law enforcement agencies use to record passing vehicles’ license plates as well as the time and location of each sighting — scattered across the county’s main roads on Florida’s east coast. But as they prepared to remove them, they discovered 14 more that they hadn’t known about and that the county hadn’t permitted.
The federal government, through Public Safety Canada, published a document last week ostensibly describing progress on its “National Commitments to Combat Antisemitism — Summer 2026.”
It’s a classic example of closing the barn door after the horses have fled.
Britain now has more illegal Channel arrivals under the Labour government, which has been in power two years, than it has soldiers in the British Army.
Home Office figures put small-boat arrivals since Labour took office on 4 July 2024 at 83,279. The regular Army stands at 83,000.

This month, the House of Commons committee on science and research recommended a ban on diversity quotas in federal research programs, along with all references to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the granting process. But you should probably hold your cheers: that very same committee has also suggested an even tighter embrace of DEI.
France and Britain are abandoning a landmark migration deal that allowed the British to return migrants who crossed the English Channel illegally in exchange for those who applied to enter via official means.
The deal, known as “one in, one out,” struck in the summer of 2025, was intended to deter dangerous illegal crossings of the channel, which have roiled politics in Britain and raised tensions between London and Paris. The original deal was struck for one year and was extended by a month, until Oct. 1, but will not be renewed.
In the decade leading up to 2024/25, inflation-adjusted federal Indigenous spending jumped from $10.3 billion to $40.8 billion, growing seven times faster than overall federal spending, according to a new study published by the Fraser Institute.
The independent think tank found that inflation-adjusted federal Indigenous spending increased by an average of 4.3 per cent per year from 1969/70 to 2014/15. But from 2014/15 to 2024/25, average annual Indigenous spending increased 17.1 per cent, not including the “substantial” spending on lawsuits and court settlement payouts.

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has confirmed plans to cut 20% of generals and admirals and declared “no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps” would be tolerated inside the country’s military.
Delivering his latest extraordinary attack on diversity, and dismissing reports of low morale within the US armed forces as “false claims”, Hegseth also suggested they were retaining service personnel at “record” rates.
The defense secretary pointed to those onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, following concern over mental health and supply issues on the aircraft carrier, which was deployed for almost nine months. About “80% of the force” onboard was retained, he said.
OTTAWA — Time to re-open the gates.
That’s what Prime Minister Mark Carney implied during a recent interview with the New York Times, suggesting that Canada’s immigration system is ready to start ramping up intake.
“We’ve taken measures to get that under control and we have it under control,” Carney said during his sit-down last week with 10 New York Times reporters.
Carney is damn liar.

It is too early to say if Iran had any involvement in an attack by a pilot who stabbed another pilot and tried to take over a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Israel’s prime minister has said.
The Flydubai plane plunged more than 17,000ft (5,200m) two hours into its journey on Wednesday, before passengers and crew overpowered the attacker and retook control to land safely.
The stabbed pilot, Indian national Captain Smit Machchhar, is in hospital in a stable condition, and has been hailed a “true hero” by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Canadian military’s former top soldier says global war is closer than it has been for decades and that this country must focus on building new alliances, but also not discard existing ones such as that with the U.S.
Retired general Wayne Eyre, chief of the defence staff from 2021 to 2024, said he has seen no indication that Canada can’t trust its long-standing military relationship with Americans.
A Tennessee woman convicted of murder survived two doses of lethal injection on Wednesday night before state officials suspended the execution and had her taken to a hospital for medical care, her lawyers said.
It was the second botched execution in the state this year.
The apparent failure came after dueling court rulings delayed the execution of the woman, Christa Pike, by about nine hours. The state had raced to go ahead with the execution before the day ended and to avoid having to reschedule.
