A Canadian woman who spent four years with ISIS and married two of its fighters is guilty of terrorism, a jury in Brampton, Ont. ruled on Tuesday.
Ammara Amjad, 32, was the first woman to go on trial in Canada for her role in the Islamic State in Syria as it committed widespread atrocities.
The case was a test of whether Canada could bring to justice the women who played support roles in ISIS as wives and mothers but were not armed fighters.
She is not a “Canadian woman”. She is a Muslim.
In a wide swath of endeavours, good judgement has joined the endangered species list alongside black rhinos, blue whales and piping plovers.
A trio of events underscore this cruel fact in the crime file.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canadians and Americans are frustrated with the high cost of groceries, electricity, and gas, but political fallout from that anxiety looks very different on either side of the border.
Nearly two-thirds of Canadians surveyed recently by Abacus Data — 63 per cent — said the rising cost of living was among the top three issues facing the country, making it the single highest-ranked concern. In the United States, 89 per cent — nearly 9 in 10 voters — said the cost of living had a crucial or major impact on their midterm vote, according to an NBC exit poll.
In the wake of the Democratic Party’s wave of wins in last week’s U.S. midterm elections, Canadians’ perception of their southerly neighbour has softened somewhat, according to a new poll.
Before probing respondents on their midterm thoughts, Leger first sought to understand their perspective of the U.S., finding 38 per cent see it as an enemy country — down three per cent from similar polling in August, but still up eight points over a June 1 survey.
It’s not much of a stretch to say the federal government has trouble saying the word Afghanistan.
A couple of weeks ago, late on a Friday, Defence Minister David McGuinty and Veterans Affairs Minister Jill McKnight issued a statement to quietly defuse what some in the veterans community might view as a Remembrance Day bomb.
They announced that a Senate bill (S-246) currently before the House of Commons — designating service in both the first Gulf War and Afghanistan as wartime service — would be the subject of public consultation in the coming months.
No shame for anyone who served. Muslims are not governable.
Popular mainstream SUVs and pickup trucks continue to be top targets for Canadian organized crime-run auto theft rings across the country, a new report says.
The Honda CR-V was the No. 1 pick for car thieves last year, with 2,137 stolen across the nation, according to a newly released report from insurance crime and fraud prevention expert Équité Association. It is the third time the Honda CR-V topped the list since 2021.

A Ghanaian man who used a fraudulent Canadian passport to leave and re-enter the country 16 times has been sentenced to two years in prison for citizenship fraud.
Jefferson Zormelo, 22, pleaded guilty earlier this year to violating the Canadian Citizenship Act.
On Monday in Calgary, Justice Karen Molle said Zormelo’s act “attacks the integrity of the Canadian citizenship regime.”
OTTAWA — An explosive report from Britain’s Mail on Sunday alleges that a man it describes as a senior Chinese intelligence officer, and a British businessman indicted with him in the United States over a plot to silence a Los Angeles critic of Xi Jinping, sought damaging information on seven British parliamentarians who have challenged Beijing.
This is the Daily Mail piece referenced in the article.
British businessman accused of spying for China tried to hire former Met Police detective to dig up intelligence on top MPs who were critical of Beijing
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is speaking out about the assault of an Air Cadets supervisor in Hamilton earlier this month, calling it “the most disgusting thing you could ever do.”
The 59-year-old Canadian Armed Forces member, identified by family as Kenneth Kunkel, was supervising the distribution of poppies on Nov. 1 when two youths allegedly approached his cadets in front of a restaurant at The Centre on Barton and “blew a loud air horn” into their ears.
Sure hope they’re not the migrants Doug loves.
Troubling: Poll finds small minority of Canadians believe all Jews responsible for Israel’s actions
A new poll has found a strong majority of Canadians respect and trust their Jewish neighbours, but a small minority feels differently because they believe Jews have a collective responsibility for Israel’s actions.
… The poll analyzed responses from 1,232 Canadians aged 18 and over between Oct. 9 and 15.
It was released today to mark International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism. On the evening of Nov. 9, 1938, a series of antisemitic riots took place in Nazi Germany. Homes belonging to Jewish families, Jewish businesses and synagogues were targeted and vandalized. Jewish people were attacked. It became known as Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass.
Fascism is anyone with an opinion the Left disagrees with.
Personally I have not noticed many of the media’s “Fascists” marching through our streets and threatening Jews these past few years.
I’ve seen lot’s of leftists and Muslims however but somehow that gets left out of the media’s preferred narrative.
Undeterred by last night’s unprovoked assault following a rally, RealityDocu is back on the ground, this time capturing exclusive footage of perpetual protester Diana Bosco’s latest arrest at Bathurst and Sheppard.
It is not yet clear what led to the incident, although Bosco has a documented history of disruptive and aggressive conduct.

To understand modern Sweden and how the country has transformed, consider Jens Eriksson’s career trajectory.
In his youth, Mr. Eriksson worked at music labels such as Stockholm Records, repping Swedish bands like the Cardigans around the world. Thirty years later, the arts aficionado runs a network of private health care clinics, a job he took after running a network of private schools – all in a high-tax, socialist country.
He admits he was an unlikely candidate for this leap. His own kids went to public school, and he had, too. But Mr. Eriksson’s evolution, like his country’s, was borne out of necessity. And it’s a path that provides Canadians with rather significant insights.
It was two days before Christmas when David Baltzer, a physically healthy man in his 30s, received a call from a Veterans Affairs Canada caseworker offering him medically assisted death.
A former soldier who had served two tours in Afghanistan, Baltzer had been receiving psychological treatment for PTSD and suicidal thoughts.
He relied on veterans’ benefits to survive after struggling to reintegrate into civilian life, so he was shocked when he received a letter informing him that his benefits had been cut.
Americans don’t want authoritarianism. They don’t want the economic mismanagement that comes with it. They don’t want the corruption. They don’t want their trade policy and their military run on the basis of the insane whims of a single man’s unquenchable vanity. They don’t want masked federal agents on the streets shooting their neighbours. They don’t want to be the victims of the tech lords’ oligarchic manipulations. The midterm results amounted to a radical repudiation of Donald Trump and all he represents. Trumpist candidates, all down the line, bought it. The American left will have a gleeful week. So what.
