Pakistani man who came to Canada on a student visa pleads guilty to plotting to kill Jewish people in the U.S.

A former international student in Canada has pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge Wednesday, telling the court it was a “morally reprehensible idea” to support the Islamic State group by plotting to use automatic weapons to kill Jewish people at a Brooklyn centre.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 21, said he answered the group’s call for Muslims to kill Jewish people by plotting to attack the Jewish centre in October 2024.

Oh but he’s reformed!

You can’t screen because all Muslims believe in Jihad so ban them all.

Study reveals staggering number of Canadian children with parents in jail

About 170,000 Canadian children had a parent in jail over a six-year span, a new study shows.

The estimate comes from a first-of-its-kind study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One. It tracked data from five provinces between 2015 and 2021, and found that thousands of children experienced a parent going to jail — some more than once. Until now, available data didn’t capture how many children were affected by having a jailed parent or how it shapes their lives, a gap researchers say has made it difficult to design effective supports and services.

Of course the parents who aren’t in jail will have to pony up for this latest crusade to “fix” the unfixable.

More than 84,000 Ontario houses — roughly the number in Markham — are owned by businesses and for-profits. StatsCan wants to find out more

More than 84,300 houses across Ontario — around the number you’d find in a mid-sized city like Markham — were owned as investments by businesses or for-profit government entities such as public-sector pension funds in 2023, according to data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program.

This data, released in recent months, offers a glimpse at where, and how acutely, businesses of all types have invested in Canadian single-family housing stock.

HANNAFORD: Canada’s ‘Ministry of Propaganda’ rewrites citizenship guide into woke utopia

Let’s just do the right thing by Heritage Canada and rename it for what it is, the Canadian Ministry of Propaganda. Or if you want to follow the official style sheet, Propaganda Canada.

Top of mind today is a draft rewrite of Canada’s Citizenship Guide, Discover Canada. This is the book they give prospective immigrants, an explanation of how the Government of Canada sees itself, the country, and the people living in it. The present one was published in 2012 during the Stephen Harper ministry, when Heritage Canada was known as Canada Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism.

How the Iran War could cost Liberals 20+ seats: 3 political consequences of high oil prices

The conventional wisdom is that the Canadian economy should be a big winner from the surge in oil prices following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. Canada is the fourth-largest exporter of crude oil in the world: when prices rise, Canadian oil generates more revenue, corporate income, higher wages, and government royalties.

The OECD’s latest outlook points to a more complicated reality. Canada is no longer a petrostate; while the oil and gas sector is still large enough to cushion Canada from the worst macroeconomic consequences of the Iran war, the structure and geography of Canadian economic growth have added many more trade-offs to managing resource profits.

First Nation asks court to block Alberta referendum on seceding from Canada

A First Nation in Alberta has said that a separatist push for the province to secede from Canada is “consummately irresponsible and dishonourable” and should be shut down, arguing in court that a proposed referendum would violate their treaty rights.

A minority of residents of the oil-rich province have long argued that the province’s woes are due to the structure of payments to the federal government and a perceived inability to get their vast fossil fuel reserves to market.

In recent months, separatists have seized on the sentiment and collected nearly 180,000 signatures to request a referendum. But the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, near Edmonton, has asked a court to halt the campaign.

Almost a third of police probes of diplomatic missions see subjects leave Canada

OTTAWA – Almost a third of police investigations involving members of foreign diplomatic missions in Canada between 2020 and 2025 saw the subjects of the probes leave the country before their cases could be resolved through the legal process.

Documents obtained by The Canadian Press through an access to information request list 67 incidents involving members of foreign missions that required police involvement over that time period.

In 22 of those cases, the person facing the criminal allegations left Canada before charges could be laid or the court process was completed.

Mark Carney urges restraint as Donald Trump threatens Iran with devastating strike

OTTAWA—Hours after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to end “a whole civilization” in Iran with a deadly bombing planned today, Prime Minister Mark Carney urged “all parties” in the Middle East crisis to respect international law on war and humanitarian protections.

Responding to media questions about Trump’s threat against Iran that warned “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Carney said he has privately called for restraint as the threat of more devastating strikes loomed large.

Jamie Sarkonak: Bill C-3, the Liberal gateway to making Canada the 51st state

In December, the Liberals extended Canadian citizenship to everyone in the world over the age of three months who can prove that one of their ancestors was born here, no matter how far back.

This was the result of Bill C-3. It means that potentially millions of people with no natural democratic right to intervene in our politics will soon be able to vote in our elections. Millions who haven’t contributed a cent to our economy will become eligible for our social safety net. Among them will be organized criminals, terrorists spawned from parents who left Canada to engage in barbarism overseas, people who can’t speak English or French, scammers, drug dealers, and many more undesirables.

Canadian Confidence Hits 11-Month Low as Iran War Drags On

Canadian consumer confidence fell to its lowest level in almost a year as the war in Iran, which has sent energy prices soaring and stoked worries about persistent inflation, entered its sixth week.

The Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Consumer Confidence Index fell to 46.93 in the week ended April 3, while the expectations index extended its four-week loss to almost 10 points. A reading below 50 indicates net negative views. It was the lowest reading for both indexes since May 2025, when consumers and businesses were still digesting the initial shock of US President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.

Canadian navy base flies trans flag stating ‘hateful online conduct’ may be subject to ‘criminal justice process’

CALGARY — Canada’s navy raised a transgender flag at its morning colours ceremony, accompanied by a message online stating it will not tolerate “hateful online conduct,” which may be subject to the “criminal justice process.”

Last week, “Transgender Day of Visibility,” was observed by the Royal Canadian Navy, or the East Coast Navy, on Canadian Forces Base (CFB) in Halifax — Canada’s largest military base in terms of population.

Data show more Americans aren’t heading to Canada — it’s the other way around

When Donald Trump was first elected U.S. president in 2016, there was a healthy dose of hyperbolic headlines about Americans fleeing to Canada in response, headlines that quickly re-surfaced after his re-election in 2024.

And while it’s true asylum claims from U.S. citizens have spiked in the first full year of both his terms and the ascension of Bill C-3 has opened the citizenship door to untold thousands of Americans with Canadian ancestral roots, new data from the Association for Canadian Studies show fewer U.S. citizens are emigrating north in recent years.

Trump says he won’t invade Canada after all

Donald Trump has said he will not invade Canada after repeatedly threatening to turn the country into America’s “51st state”.

The US president questioned whether Canadians still recognised the King as their head of state as he weighed up the “problem” of taking over the territory during the rest of his time in office.

“I suppose the Canadians have got 200 years of history and all that ‘Oh, Canada’ thing,” he said. “You can’t deal with that in three and a half years. I guess it’s not going to happen!”

Trump doesn’t have to do anything Canada is imploding so all he’ll have to do is pick up the good parts.

Canada’s massive debt problem is even worse than our governments want to let on—here’s why

As provincial budget season winds down nationwide, we are left with the fiscal remains of the day as estimates of budget deficits assault our senses. With the 2025-26 fiscal year wrapping up, every provincial government is reporting or expected to report a budget deficit.

For example, Ontario’s deficit came in below what was projected at only $12.3 billion, but next year’s shortfall is now larger than initially projected at $13.8 billion. As numbers go, being a few billion dollars off from year to year, given the turbulent economic times, is to be expected. After all, borrowing from C.D. Howe, in the end, what is a billion dollars these days, anyway?

Protest outside Brampton Hindu temple targets alleged Indian state interference

A Hindu temple in south Brampton was the latest site of protest over the treatment of Sikhs in India and abroad.

On Chinguacousy Road near Queen Street West, dozens of protesters gathered under a sea of yellow flags emblazoned with “Khalistan” — the name given to the desired state, one separate from India, pushed for by Sikhs globally.

Across the street, worshippers peered out from the Triveni Mandir as others came and went for prayers, the protestors amplified shouts muffled by music playing over temple loudspeakers.
