Hundreds of students in the US have had their visas removed for supporting “terrorism”.
More than 6,000 student visas have been revoked by the State Department in 2025, the “vast majority” because of legal violations, an administration official said.
Around 200 to 300 students had their visas rescinded for alleged terrorism after engaging in behaviour such as raising funds for Hamas, according to an official.
Mark Carney’s government has been trying to reach a new trade accord with the U.S., but most Canadians are skeptical that President Donald Trump will keep his word on any deal.
Four in five Canadians say they think it’s unlikely that Trump would honour a future trade agreement with their country, according to a poll by Nanos Research Group conducted for Bloomberg News.
Where was Canada when the world gathered in Washington to decide the future of Ukraine? Where was our prime minister when President Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron, and Keir Starmer took historic steps toward peace?
There was an interesting — albeit brief — recent eruption of clarity in the ongoing saga of whether Canada intends to proceed with the full order of American-made F-35 fighters.
It was courtesy of the U.S. ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, who perhaps spoke the quiet part out loud last week in an interview with Canadian independent podcaster Jasmin Laine.
Hoekstra, a no-nonsense Republican from Michigan, was asked about the Liberal government’s review of the $27.7-billion purchase of stealth fighters and the possibility that after delivery of the first tranche of jets, Canada could decide to fill the rest of its order with another type of aircraft.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford recently declared on CNN that in Canada, U.S. President Donald Trump is the “most disliked politician in the world . . . because he has attacked his closest family member.” In January, just before Mark Carney announced his leadership bid for the Liberal Party, he appeared on The Daily Show and told Americans that Canada and the United States could be “friends with benefits.” Are prominent U.S. leaders making time for media appearances to defend Canada as their “closest family member”?
Believing that trading partners are family, or friends even, betrays our leaders’ wide-eyed view of the world that not even historical precedent appears able to shake. It has invited complacency and deepens the damaging economic consequences when trade relationships evolve or break apart.
US politicians seem to know something about the stock market that ordinary Americans don’t.
Since April 2020, the value of the S&P 500 has surged by a heady 165pc. But over the same period, the stocks most purchased by members of Congress or their families have registered paper gains of no less than 465pc.
That’s according to a trading strategy designed by a start-up called Quiver Quantitative. American lawmakers are so consistently successful that a flurry of new platforms and apps now compile filing data from US politicians as a key input in strategies for retail investors and even hedge funds.
Same happens in Canada.
A Maine reserve police officer arrested by ICE for allegedly trying to buy a firearm illegally has agreed to leave the country, the agency said.
Jon Luke Evans, a reserve officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department, and a Jamaican national, was arrested on July 25 with help from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), according to ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford put the focus on making Canada globally competitive rather than securing a trade deal with the United States as they met in Ottawa on Monday.
Carney and Ford were meeting on Parliament Hill as trade talks with the United States show little signs of progressing.
Ford was asked by reporters after the meeting Monday what he felt the chances were for a tariff-free deal with the United States, but he said U.S. President Donald Trump’s behaviour was “unpredictable.”
There are people behind the statistics you see…and the statistics you don’t.
With all the storm and strife about crime in D.C.–the Democrats insist that crime is an illusion and everybody rides unicorns in the District–it’s easy to forget that crime statistics are not just numbers. Every red dot on a map or number in a chart represents a life that was ended, or at least upended.

Moving to Canada no easy road for these people fleeing Trump’s America for political reasons
Robert Apgar-Taylor vividly remembers the day he and his husband, Robert Taylor, crossed the border into Canada, fleeing the changing political climate in their native United States in hopes of a safer life in Canada.
“We took a picture at the border. It was winter,” said Apgar-Taylor. “We wore our plaid shirts and hats, and showed our immigration papers with the moving truck behind us. We were so excited.”
To avoid confusion, this story refers to Apbar-Taylor’s husband as Rob.
We’re not exactly getting America’s best and brightest.
Terrifying video shows the moment a minivan ploughed into a tractor-trailer making an outrageous rogue U-turn on a Florida highway last week — with all three people in the van killed and the truck’s illegal-migrant driver charged with homicide.
The roadway horror happened around 3 p.m. Tuesday on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce when the tractor-trailer driven by suspect Harjinder Singh made a hard left turn across the highway and attempted to cross the median through an “Official Use Only” pass, authorities said.
Eye opening video. Two Sikh truck drivers make an illegal U-turn in a truck that results in three people losing their lives. Look at their reaction. It's nothing. They don't even care.

A Haitian family was separated at the Quebec-U.S. border this spring due to what an immigration lawyer calls a “legal glitch” some fear could become a wider problem as more migrants flee the United States into Canada.
The family attempted to enter Canada at the official land crossing in Lacolle, Que., in March, according to immigration documents.
They are not in danger in the United States, we have no obligation to accept any of them.
Donald Trump has said the Ukrainian president can end Russia’s war “if he wants to”, but there will be “no going into Nato by Ukraine” as part of a peace deal.
Hours before he was due to host Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, Trump also said there would be “no getting back” the Crimean peninsula, which Moscow illegally annexed in 2014, eight years before launching its full-scale invasion.
Trump’s remarks follow his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska that resulted in the US president dropping a demand for a ceasefire and calling instead for a permanent peace deal.
John Slipp took over his father’s duty-free store in 1994, which had been started more than a decade earlier.
This month, he closed the Woodstock Duty Free Shop Inc. as lower traffic at the U.S.-Canada border dealt the final blow to a business already weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, at 59, Slipp says he will have to find another source of income and is advocating for more government support for stores like his.
