Asylum seekers should be tagged, says policing chief

Asylum seekers should be required to wear electronic tags so their movements can be tracked, a policing chief has proposed.

Katy Bourne, Sussex’s police and crime commissioner (PCC), said the move would act as a deterrent to any potential criminal activity. It could also give migrants “greater freedom” to travel further from holding centres and help them get temporary jobs.

Government plans to house 540 asylum seekers temporarily at Crowborough training camp, an Army barracks in Sussex, has caused concern in the community. The first people to be be transferred there are expected in the new year.

9.0 quake in B.C. would kill thousands and cost $128 billion, report foresees

VICTORIA – A British Columbia government report foresees more than 3,400 fatalities and more than 10,000 injuries if an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 strikes off Vancouver Island.

The scenario of such a “megathrust” quake also describes costs of $128 billion, the destruction of 18,000 buildings and extensive damage to 10,000.

The analysis is part of the B.C. disaster and climate risk assessment, dated October 2025, and says such a quake is “one of the more likely earthquake scenarios in B.C.”

From Gaza to Iran: what’s on the agenda at the Netanyahu-Trump talks

Binyamin Netanyahu knows how to speak to President Trump. To assuage him away from pursuing peace talks in his previous term, the Israeli prime minister used golf metaphors and maps of Trump’s beloved New York to show him why it would not work.

On his fifth trip to meet the president since Trump was inaugurated in January, a record for any foreign leader, Netanyahu may have to do more than beguile him with the 300-acre golf course near Tel Aviv he is building and naming in his honour.

Organizers of West Bank delegation blocked by Israel call for steeper sanctions

Members of a Canadian delegation that was denied entry to the West Bank earlier this month are calling on Ottawa to tighten sanctions targeting new Israeli settlements in occupied territory.

A group that included six Canadian MPs on a mission to meet with displaced Palestinians was turned away at the Allenby border crossing into the West Bank on Dec. 16.

Multiple witnesses from the group said Ontario MP Iqra Khalid was shoved by an Israeli border guard during the confrontation.

Oh No!!!!

The secretive mission to solve MH370’s disappearance

Nearly 12 years after the world’s most baffling aviation riddle began with the disappearance of an airliner and its passengers, seabed explorers are to resume their search for MH370.

State-of-the-art underwater robots will in the coming days begin mapping the abyss of the Indian Ocean, hunting a lost Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 and all 239 on board.

The expedition by a private company called Ocean Infinity is the latest chapter in an on-off search that has already become the most expensive hunt in aviation history, but after more than a decade, has little to show for it.

‘Elbows up’ is over for business and labour leaders, who now want Carney to ‘put pucks in the net’

OTTAWA — If emotions over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and his comments about coveting Canada as a “51st state” defined the posture of political leaders towards the cross-border relationship in 2025, business leaders are urging that cool heads prevail in the new year.

With Canada set to begin formal talks with the U.S. over its trilateral agreement with Mexico in January, National Post asked different leaders in business and labour about their hopes for how Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government approaches the deal’s joint review and what lessons elected officials could learn from the past year.

The Portuguese Left’s Attempts To Cancel Christmas Show Wokery Is Still Far from Dead

The Right has, understandably, been in a joyous mood as of late. Populism is on the rise almost everywhere across the West; Trump’s return to power, almost a year ago, put an end to the notion that wokery had come to stay, that it could not be reverted, and that conservatives would sooner or later have to come to terms with it. We now know that collective neurosis can, indeed, be led to collapse under the weight of its own absurdities—if only those of us who are sensible and patient enough have the energy for the fight. But triumphalism is a dangerous false friend, as the events surrounding the quiet cancellation of Christmas in Portugal have come to show.

Treasury Board minister silent on details of plan to shrink federal public service

OTTAWA – Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali says the federal government hasn’t worked out details of planned public service cuts and efforts to boost the amount of time public servants spend in the office.

Ali said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press the government is still finalizing the workforce adjustment and return-to-office plans.

Hundreds of federal employees have been warned they may lose their jobs as the government moves to shrink the public service, and many departments have told staff news on job cuts will come in the new year.

Carney won’t do anything to antagonize the civil service voting bloc.
