In Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report, set in 2054, crime has been eliminated thanks to psychics who predict wrongdoing before it happens. “Pre-criminals” are arrested for “Pre-crimes” they haven’t committed. But the visions are flawed and open to manipulation. The dark side of “pre-crime” is totalitarianism disguised as public safety. The film is a timeless warning about the tension between liberty and security.
President Donald Trump has told Canada that if it recognizes Palestine as a state, it’s jeopardizing a trade pact with the U.S. The threat is more than leverage for talks. It’s a reminder that the West is giving up on civilization and needs to be rousted from its slumber.
“Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them.”
OTTAWA – A lawyer for Canadian diplomats and their families says he believes the mysterious ailments they suffered in Cuba were caused by a foreign adversary, despite a federal government report that dismisses the theory.
Eight years after foreign service officials and their dependants began reporting such symptoms as headaches, memory loss, mood changes, vision problems, nausea and nosebleeds, a legal action against Ottawa over the health problems is still grinding along in Federal Court.
Air Canada flight attendants will defy the back-to-work order and remain on strike after the federal government ordered binding arbitration to end the work stoppage, the Canadian Union of Public Employees told Radio-Canada on Sunday.
The union, which represents the 10,000 flight attendants, has accused federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu of caving to Air Canada’s demands.
It’s a small change that risks cultivating a big debate.
On one side is the principle of farmer’s privilege — the traditional right of Canadian farmers to save seeds at the end of a growing season and reuse them the next year.
On the other is the principle of plant breeders’ rights — the right of those who develop new seeds and plants to protect and profit from their discoveries.
The issue has been dormant for a decade. Now, proposed changes to government rules regarding plant breeders’ rights are reviving that debate.
This week, the Toronto International Film Festival attempted to cancel, then reinstated, the screening of The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, a documentary on a retired Israeli general’s successful attempt to rescue his family during the October 7, 2023, terror attacks by Hamas.
The organizers of TIFF reportedly claimed they needed Hamas’s permission to show the footage of the extreme violence from October 7 found on the GoPros of Hamas terrorists.
Muslim hate will not be stopped by recognizing a Pallie State and it won’t be stopped even if Israel were were wiped off the map.
Islam is a murder cult and they will eventually come for you.
Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an unusual statement Saturday to praise U.S. President Donald Trump for trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
Carney’s public endorsement of Trump’s leadership on the world stage came as the president and his Alaskan summit were widely derided by foreign policy and security experts. The get-together was of little value and gave Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former intelligence officer, an image boost, they said.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Prime Minister Mark Carney “revised” his first major Parliamentary bill as Canada’s leader on August 8, by mandating that industrial projects deemed fit for speedy approval “must” serve the interests of indigenous peoples.
This unilateral reinvention repudiates the legal text of Bill C-5, passed into law on June 26, which only states that indigenous interests “may” or “can” be considered.
In the wake of a stormy stretch in Canada-U.S. relations, the Canadian view of American leadership has plummeted.
Gallup’s latest survey of Canadian opinion, conducted in May and June, found approval of Washington slipping to 15 per cent, statistically in line with sentiment when Donald Trump was president the first time.
But they love Obama!
Politicians past and present from across Canada have responded to an invitation to be “adopted” by the United States with a resounding “no.”
Maine State Senator Joseph Martin suggested that British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba should become “full American states,” arguing that those who truly want “freedom” must look south of the 49th.
TULSA, OKLAHOMA — Over the past few weeks, my inbox has been flooded with frightened and heartbreaking messages from Canadian Jews. Many are scared and looking for ways out of Canada, telling deeply personal stories of fear, marginalization, and hopelessness.
I had shared in these pages my family’s reasons for choosing to leave Canada — Vancouver, specifically — to pursue opportunities in the U.S., and obviously hit a nerve with National Post readers
A judge of the British Columbia Supreme Court recently found that the Cowichan First Nation holds Aboriginal title over 800 acres of government land in Richmond, B.C. But that’s not all. Wherever Aboriginal title is found to exist, said the court, it is a “prior and senior right” to fee simple title, whether public or private. That means it trumps the property you have in your house, farm or factory.
A Crack Beneath the Rug
Canada’s reputation for unfailing politeness is like that neighbor you trust completely, the one you’d invite over to watch the game and have a beer, and you’d feel confident they wouldn’t take off with your favorite beer stein.
That same neighbor might harbor a secret, even him, that he might have a crack beneath his basement. Unseen, that is, until it opens up. That crack doesn’t disrespect your hospitality; it simply IS.
With the federal carbon tax dead and gone, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has found a new target among the Liberal government’s climate policies — the electric vehicle availability standard, otherwise known as the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
“We will legalize, into the future, your right to drive a gas or diesel-powered truck or car by repealing the Liberal EV mandate,” Poilievre said last week, while restating his desire to see a number of Liberal policies repealed.
The Canadian government asked an independent labour board to order more than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants back to work, less than 12 hours into a strike that caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled.
Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order parties to resume and continue operations and duties. She also asked the board to impose final and binding arbitration, and extend the terms of the parties’ existing contract until a new one can be determined.
