The father and son accused of plotting a violent Toronto terrorist attack in support of the Islamic State denied the son’s involvement during a court appearance Thursday.
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son, Mostafa Eldidi, 26, appeared in Newmarket court on terrorism charges for allegedly plotting what authorities have called a “serious and violent attack” in Toronto. The men were arrested at a Richmond Hill hotel Sunday.
It is time for Canadians to confront Poilievre’s assault on decency
“Have you no sense of decency, sir?”
This dramatic rebuke by lawyer Joseph Welch to U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy during a televised hearing in 1954 turned public opinion decisively against the senator’s infamous campaign to persecute his opponents with baseless accusations.
As Americans struggle to overcome a new political threat, it is time for Canadians to confront the assault on decency happening in our own country.
We live in a country where our Prime Minister in pure Maduro fashion freezes bank accounts to criminalize dissent.
A country where our PM declares us racist for questioning his society destroying mass immigration scam.
A nation where our PM taxes us to death and decrees in Great Leap Forward style ludicrous EV Mandates in the name of climate change.
We live in a Canada where our PM condones foreign interference so long as it benefits his party.
A state where our PM uses identity politics to divide and conquer so he might curry favor with ethnic vote blocs.
I have no idea what alternate reality the Star writer lives in because Trudeau’s Liberal government is the assault on decency.
A father and son accused of planning a terrorist attack in Toronto had filmed a video of themselves holding weapons in front of the ISIS flag, sources told Global News.
The video of Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, showed them with an axe and machete, according to three sources.
Two of the six terrorism charges filed against the pair accuse them of possessing those same items for the benefit of ISIS.
Global Affairs Canada is warning more than 20,000 Canadians in Lebanon that they can’t rely on government evacuation flights if war engulfs that country.
The department says 21,399 Canadians have officially registered as being in Lebanon, though it expects many more are present in the country.
There should be no evacuation period.
The arrest of a father and son accused of planning a mass casualty attack in Toronto on behalf of ISIS suggests the enduring appeal of the terrorist group.
Five years after it was defeated in Syria, where it committed scores of atrocities, the so-called Islamic State continues to inspire violence far from the Middle East.
The alleged plot disrupted by this week’s arrests involved an axe and machete, which were seized by police, according to court records obtained by Global News.
The sentencing of Calgary terrorism sympathizer Zakarya Rida Hussein was adjourned again Tuesday, this time so his lawyer can deal with a new “wrinkle” in the case.
Defence counsel Alain Hepner asked Justice Harry Van Harten to delay sentencing submissions to September, so he can deal with the latest issue with his client and the offender’s family.
Canada is the most permissive country in the world regarding legal and medical gender transition processes for minors, a new report has found.
Canadian policies tend to be less strict than those in Northern and Western European countries, according to the findings of a landmark study series from the Calgary-based Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy and Do No Harm, a group of health-care professionals and policymakers who advocate for keeping identity politics “out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.”
In the approaching elections in the U.S. and Canada, among four possibilities, two scenarios in particular present themselves with startling clarity.
Venezuela’s election “result” made it a black Sunday for democracy around the world.
The opposition parties claimed they won the vote in every single state of the country, but President Nicolás Maduro said he won the count , 51 per cent versus 44 per cent for opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez.
Exit polls conducted by U.S. firm Edison Research suggested Gonzalez won 64 per cent to Maduro’s 31 per cent . But the electoral council, led by Maduro acolyte Elvis Amoroso, awarded the election to the president, without publishing detailed results.
Peel Regional Police began investigating Ontario business magnate Frank Stronach after York Regional Police approached their neighbouring agency for assistance, a source with knowledge of the case told CBC News.
CBC is not naming the source, as they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Investigators have declined to say when police first learned of sexual assault allegations surrounding the 91-year-old billionaire, and why Stronach’s local police service north of Toronto sought help from another agency.
The average Canadian family last year spent more of its income on all forms of taxation (43%) than on basic necessities, such as food, shelter and clothing combined (35.6%), according to a new report by the Fraser Institute.
Terrifying video has emerged of drug addicts at a bus station waiting room just hours before children made their way to school.
The disturbing footage, reminiscent of the television show The Walking Dead, was shot at Clareview bus station in Edmonton, Canada, a city of one million people, with city officials seemingly powerless to do anything about it.
The 15-second viral clip online sees seven addicts behaving more like zombies as a couple are seen slowly moving around the room in a stupor.

The Jewish community was the primary target of police-reported hate crimes in 2023, despite comprising less than one percent of Canada’s population.
Anti-Semitic incidents rose 71 percent between 2022 and 2023 for a total of 900 reported crimes last year, according to StatCan figures. Jewish-related hate crimes have risen steadily over the past four years with 331 incidents in 2020, 492 in 2021, and 527 in 2022.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre opens a week of campaigning for votes in Northern Ontario on Monday with a rally in Fort Frances, Ont., in the riding of Thunder Bay—Rainy River, a region that a small-c conservative candidate has not won since 1930.
The incumbent MP for the riding, a Liberal and former emergency room physician Marcus Powlowski, is not surprised at Poilievre’s chutzpah, looking for enough votes in a riding to do what no leader of a conservative party has done in 90 years — namely, win over the voters in this vast riding, which includes the Fort William part of Thunder Bay, Atikokan, Rainy River, and Fort Frances.
Canada’s defence department and military are approaching the implementation and use of artificial intelligence in a “fragmented,” unco-ordinated manner, says a newly prepared federal strategy.
The long-awaited overview of how to deal with rapidly evolving machine-learning technology is being met with mixed reviews by some high-tech and civil society experts who had been expecting more clarity on where the country stands and how far it’s prepared to go.
The strategy is candid, saying neither the Department of National Defence (DND) nor the Canadian Armed Forces is “positioned to adopt and take advantage of AI.”
