The University of Toronto has been called out by prominent leaders on social media for its “despicable” research group dedicated to anti-Zionism theories, as explained in its description.
The working group, titled Bridging Theories of Anti-Zionism, is comprised of grad students and faculty at the university’s Jackman Humanities Institute who conduct research and engage in scholarly exchanges.
As Canada inches closer to becoming an associate member of the European Union, as some of those countries have experienced, this country’s biggest city has its own areas that are unsafe to travel through.
While noticeable in downtown areas near Union Station, they are also found in some neighbourhoods like Danforth Village. A section of the north sidewalk on Danforth Ave., between Main St. and Dawes Rd., has become a “don’t you dare” walk-through area with fencing and security.

TORONTO — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen offered Canada a brand-new title — the EU’s first “associate member” — without first running it past the 27 capitals that would have to approve any real deal, and Brussels is now walking the phrase back while U.S. President Donald Trump treats it as another front in the trade war.

Canada has formally applied to join the U.K.-led Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a collection of NATO nations whose mandate is to respond more quickly in a crisis.
Prime Minister Mark Carney formally announced the plan on Wednesday while meeting with his British counterpart Andy Burnham.
In a statement, Carney called JEF an “important initiative” and highlighted other close defence ties with the U.K., including Canada’s observer status in the development of the next generation of fighter jet.
Canada is too busy making the world safe for transgenders to fight any boring old war.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has been forced to withdraw an award she gave to a Muslim cleric on the anniversary of 9/11 after it emerged he had once praised Osama Bin Laden.
The Most Rev Sarah Mullally presented the prize for ‘Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation’ to Tahir Ashrafi on the same day that the world marked 25 years since the terror attacks on America.
But she faced a major backlash after it emerged that the group of Islamic scholars Mr Ashrafi chairs in Pakistan had previously given its highest honour to the Al Qaeda chief.
Federal auditors posing as ordinary visitors were able to walk through secure Canada Border Services Agency facilities without identification, access confidential documents and view travellers’ passport information, according to an internal audit.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the findings mark the second time in two years that an internal investigation has identified significant security problems at the CBSA.
The FBI internally warned that a group of women were creating fake online dating accounts with “tradwife” aesthetics in an effort to lure US immigration agents and “dox” them.
The FBI in Chicago disseminated a brief memo to other law enforcement officials across the US on the potential threat to agents in February, warning that “as of late January 2026, a small group of women allegedly were creating fictitious online dating profiles with the purpose of attracting and then doxxing law enforcement participating in immigration enforcement”. The report, which was shared with the Guardian, provided few details about the alleged scheme and did not explain the source of the information.

I’m trying to work out what the new rules are in this country. I think I’m getting there, though any Spectator readers who can assist might help me avoid an appearance at the local magistrates’ court.
On political party funding, this week’s new rules seem clear. You may collect immense amounts of money from trade unions if you are a political party protecting the interests of trade unions. But if you don’t enjoy the largesse of the unions and are a party of business, you are not allowed to receive money from people who have done well in business. Furthermore, the Labour party’s in-house brainiac, Angela Rayner, has made it clear that any person who does give large sums of money to a party that is not her own can be described as a ‘foreign dictator or fascist oligarch’. Which is also apparently not slanderous. Got it.
Mark Carney… he's kind of a big deal 😂😜🤡🤑 https://t.co/4NuqD6i3GV
