Canadians are feeling generally hopeful heading into 2026, but are pessimistic about the specifics of whether pressing issues at home and abroad will be resolved, a new poll suggests.
The new Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News also found Canadians feel generally positive about their personal health and happiness after the past year, but less so about their financial situation and their social and romantic lives compared to 2022.

To know that “Europe is decadent,” the American administration did not need to go to Schorndorf, the Swabian town of 40,000 inhabitants twenty minutes from Stuttgart, the city of Gottlieb Daimler, one of the pioneers of the automobile industry.
The Gothic bell tower still dominates the market square, its spire piercing the sky like a stone lance. For five centuries that bell marked baptisms, weddings, and funerals of generations of Lutherans. On Sunday, November 16, inside the nave and at the altar where Martin Luther himself could have preached, a muezzin cried: “Allahu Akbar.”
This is not an isolated episode. It is twilight. And the fact that we have been convinced to call it dawn is the greatest cultural fraud of our time.
Martyrdom, moral clarity, and the unmasking of the American Left.
To nobody’s surprise, 2025 was a tumultuous year. Reversing a half-century of cultural, domestic, and geopolitical rot had to take a heavy toll, which it did in the blood of one crusader. Yet while the denizens of Leftist Hell increased their demonic shrieking, fearless conservative leaders began to expose them as the denuded maniacs they are. This, despite dissension on the Right — though not the true spiritual Right, led by the man shot dead in Utah last September. Whether common sense will be in ascent or descent next Christmas depends on who will follow in his footsteps over the next few months.
The union for Toronto’s police service says its officers aren’t getting clear direction from senior leaders on how to handle pro-Palestinian protests, including a Boxing Day demonstration at one of the city’s busiest shopping malls.
The Toronto Police Association, which represents around 8,000 uniformed and civilian members of the Toronto Police Service, was responding after Ontario’s Solicitor-General publicly criticized the force for what he called a lack of action on anti-Israel protests.

OTTAWA – Canada’s spy watchdog is examining the use and governance of artificial intelligence in national security activities.
The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency has informed key federal ministers and organizations of the study, which will look at how the security community defines, uses and oversees aspects of AI technologies.
Canadian security agencies have used AI for tasks ranging from translation of documents to detection of malware threats.
AI is everywhere.
At the clinic I attended a sign indicated that the Doctor’s notes would be created from the recorded conversation between the physician and myself.
A grooming gang suspect who had escaped investigation because of a string of police failings went on to attempt to murder his wife, a Guardian investigation can reveal.
The man, named only as Offender J in paperwork seen by the Guardian, is alleged to have taken part in the gang–rape of 12-year-old Samantha Walker-Roberts in Oldham, Greater Manchester, in 2006.
Offender J tried to kill his wife in 2009. Two years earlier, he had been named by the ringleader, Shakil Chowdhury, as an alleged accomplice in Walker-Roberts’s abuse but Greater Manchester police failed to follow up on this and closed the case.
Toronto police have charged a driver after her vehicle ended up on the tracks of a GO station and was hit by a train.
Police say it happened shortly after 10 p.m. Wednesday at the Etobicoke North GO station. A female suspect was arrested for impaired driving. The driver, who was not identified by police, sustained non-life-threatening injuries after the vehicle was struck.
Practically my back yard.
US President Donald Trump has said he is withdrawing National Guard troops from several US cities, including Chicago and Los Angeles, after a Supreme Court ruling last week undermined his authority to use troops for policing.
“We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on New Year’s Eve.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Trump administration withdrew its legal attempts to keep control of troops deployed in LA. Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump could not use troops in Chicago for domestic law enforcement.

In college, I was given an assignment that permanently changed how I read and write.
The premise was almost absurd in its simplicity. There was a man and a woman in a kitchen. The woman was his wife. The man brought her her slippers. That was it. No plot. No backstory. Just that action. We were instructed to write the scene twice, using the same facts and the same sequence of events, but to convey two entirely different emotional realities using nothing but word choice, pacing, and detail.
Toronto police have a man in custody as part of an investigation into a string of New Year’s Eve sexual assaults in the city’s west end.

If 2025 taught us anything about politics, it’s that you shouldn’t be too sure about yourself – things can change.
That’s something that Liberals who feel like they are riding high right now and Conservatives who are feeling in the doldrums should remember.
President Trump didn’t let New Year’s festivities stop him from taking aim at Minnesota’s daycare fraud scandal, telling Mar-a-Lago partygoers the problem extends far beyond one state.
“Can you imagine they stole $18 billion,” the president said during remarks made at his annual New Year’s Eve celebration. “That’s just what we’re learning about. That’s peanuts. And California is worse, Illinois is worse and sadly New York is worse.”
“We’re going to get to the bottom of all those. It was a giant scam.”

Report from 7 years ago of Somali fraudsters caught sending over $100 MILLION through airports to foreign groups, including TERRORIST groups.
Somali daycare scams, one of the sources of this fraud, were reported back in 2015!
