The Canadian Security Intelligence Service investigated at least seven priority cases of radicals preparing to commit violence that were at least in part motivated by the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to the CSIS annual public report published on Friday, amid rising concern about religiously motivated violence in Canada.

BARCLAY: ‘Not American’ is now the sum total of Canada’s national identity
OTTAWA — Recently, Prime Minister Carney has publicly attacked and imploded every aspect of Canada’s historic relationship with the United States of America.
Unfortunately, Mark Carney’s incipient anti-American persona is a paradigm that the Liberal era has imposed upon all of Canada, and not merely the latest outpouring of Carney’s own personal vanity.
Scholar tracks uptick in Iran’s threats to diaspora in Canada, others question deporting official
OTTAWA – A scholar researching transnational repression says he’s seeing an uptick in Iran’s regime threatening diaspora in Canada.
University of Ottawa professor Thomas Juneau said at the start of the U.S. war on Iran that Tehran tends to target dissidents abroad when it feels threatened.
The Liberal Party has regime toadies sitting in Parliament.
Meanwhile in Alberta, Canada, They Just Gave Carney the One-Finger Salute
If Alberta could vote in U.S. elections, President Donald Trump would have won in a landslide there all three times he ran for the White House. Alberta is one of Canada’s 10 provinces and the closest thing the country has to a red state.
DHS Demanded Google Surrender Data on Canadian’s Activity, Location Over Anti-ICE Posts
The Department of Homeland Security tried to obtain a Canadian man’s location information, activity logs, and other identifying information from Google after he criticized the Trump administration online following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis early this year.
Lawyers for the man, who has not been named, are alarmed in part because they say that the man has not entered the United States in more than a decade. “I don’t know what the government knows about our client’s residence, but it’s clear that the government isn’t stopping to find out,” says Michael Perloff, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia who is representing the man in a lawsuit against Markwayne Mullin, the secretary of DHS, over the summons. The lawsuit alleges that DHS violated the customs law that gives the agency the power to request records from businesses and other parties.
I hope it was Avi Lewis or Chairman Chow!
Meanwhile Canada has a whole data base dedicated to crushing dissent.
💥Imagine this: One post about an MP gets flagged. The PPS quietly pulls your name and full social-media history from its database. Under Bill C-70 and existing MOUs, it’s handed to CSIS as a “threat assessment.” That then triggers a Bill C-22 ministerial order, forcing your ISP… pic.twitter.com/0iQccApUeA

Ottawa breaks ground on long-delayed Afghanistan memorial after bitter design fight
The federal government officially broke ground Monday in Ottawa on a national memorial to the sacrifice of Canadians during more than a dozen years of war in Afghanistan.
The monument, which has a controversial design history, will be located on LeBreton Flats in the national capital, near the Canadian War Museum.
It is intended to recognize the contributions of those who served in Afghanistan and those who supported them.
‘Crime has just blown out of control here’: The businessman challenging Hamilton’s NDP mayor
This fall’s Ontario municipal elections are shaping up as the most compelling in years, thanks to stark left-right battles.
Much of the conversation has centred around Toronto, where Councillor Brad Bradford is challenging NDP stalwart Olivia Chow over what he says is a city in quick decline. But TVO’s Steve Paikin has declared that Hamilton, Ontario’s fifth biggest city, may have the province’s best race.

Jamie Sarkonak: At a human rights tribunal, it’s better to be a transwoman
Human rights tribunals have drastically expanded society’s obligations to accommodate transwomen — but biological women seeking sex-based protections aren’t extended the same courtesy.
One of those regular women, known only as J, had moved into transitional housing on the women’s floor of a B.C. Salvation Army building back in the fall of 2020. She lived there for two years without issue, but when her tenancy ran out in 2022 and she hadn’t found a new place to live, the Salvation Army extended her term and offered to place her in a different building. The problem: that building was trans-inclusive. For this, J filed a human rights complaint.
Immigrant who pointed loaded gun in Calgary road rage incident won’t face deportation, judge says
An Ethiopian immigrant who pulled out a loaded handgun, pointed it at another driver and threatened to shoot during a fight that was sparked by a “minor traffic infraction” in Calgary failed to convince a judge to tailor his sentence to avoid deportation.
Chris Selley: Canada’s new, unearned decadence
Donald Trump has hatched many threats to Canada’s prosperity over the years, both short-term and long. One of the greatest long-term threats, however, is largely of our own device: the threat that when Trump finally leaves, Canada will slump back into its favourite proverbial easy chair at the cottage (as if anyone can afford to buy a cottage nowadays) and relax.
“Cancel the military spending. Probably no need for that LNG pipeline. Normal service has resumed.”
Morgan: When It Comes to Airport Privatization, the Benefits Outweigh the Risks
The Liberal government is running perilously low on money.
The spring economic update celebrated a deficit lower than had been projected but still contained a fiscal shortfall that can only be called massive. This likely inspired the government to pitch the notion of privatizing Canada’s airports for the second time in a year. Funds from the sale of airport infrastructure could be used to reduce government debt or to add to the planned sovereign wealth fund. Nearly 20 percent of the world’s airports are privately owned, and it comes with risks and benefits.
Conrad Black: Canada’s path back to prosperity
Last year, I supported the Conservatives in the federal election because the Liberal government of the previous 10 years had produced large net capital outflows, presided over Canada’s decline in the rankings of the most prosperous countries per capita, conducted a suicidal war on the petroleum industry, self-defamed the country for attempted genocide of First Nations, was a useless member of the western alliance and did not deserve a fourth consecutive term in office. I had seen Mark Carney as a central banker in Canada, where he was a scene-stealer when the prime minister, Stephen Harper, and the finance minister, Jim Flaherty, guided us through the 2008 financial crisis. I also saw him in the United Kingdom, where, as governor of the Bank of England, he had plunged the bank into absurd controversies about global warming and parroted the Cameron government’s nonsense about Europe. His successor has renounced his dire predictions of the consequences of Britain withdrawing from the European Union.
BURTON: Canada’s trillion-dollar failure — we didn’t lose it, we drove it away
Canada did not stumble into its current economic position.
It, if one can imagine such, chose it.
Canada is not in a mild economic slowdown.
It is in a self-inflicted investment crisis — and the numbers are no longer debatable.
