Wages are stagnating and young people are struggling to find that essential first work experience because the British economy is addicted to illegal migrant labour, says Reform UK as it promises a major change that would see illegal-employing executives jailed and the public rewarded for reporting “dodgy” businesses to the immigration authorities.
Police say two suspects, one of whom is 15 years old, have been arrested following a second shooting at the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto.
Chief Myron Demkiw said the suspects, who have not yet been named, are facing several charges, including failing to comply with court-ordered release conditions, in connection with the July 27 shooting. The U.S. Consulate was previously shot at on March 10.

In my previous column, I made the case that the AI revolution has forced our most weighty questions wide open. What is a person? What is healthcare? What is education and mentoring? What is friendship? These and similarly foundational topics are always relevant to our public discourse, but most often — especially in the age of technocratic middle managers controlling such discourse — they rarely get addressed. But AI is changing all that.
What is war? What does it mean to honor the dignity of one’s enemy? Are there any actions that can never be done, regardless of consequences? Especially as we celebrate 250 years as a country, are there any moral principles to which we are fundamentally committed as a people?
OTTAWA – Canadian sentiment against buying American alcohol is higher than a year ago, with new polling done by Nanos exclusively for CTV News showing just under three-quarters of Canadians, or 74 per cent, are not likely to buy the products if they are put back on the shelves.
Human nature suggests otherwise.
President Donald Trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran, two people familiar with the exchange told The Washington Post.
The encounter took place on the sidelines of his Cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday where Trump vented at Hegseth that he thought the munitions issue “had been fixed,” according to both people familiar with the conversation, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation.
At first glance, the presence of inexpensive Australian beef in Canadian grocery stores seems absurd. How can beef raised thousands of kilometres away, shipped across the Pacific and distributed through Canada sell for substantially less than beef produced in Alberta?
Today, a Senate committee led by Rand Paul (R-KY) will vote to send a contempt charge to the full Senate over Fauci’s refusal to testify while immunized last week. That could lead to criminal prosecution by a Department of Justice that’s likely enthused by the prospect. Fauci’s diaries on government servers would get even more attention in a high-profile trial, laying out Fauci’s lies during the pandemic as well as his infatuation with celebrity, his own and others’.
That may not be the last reveal into Fauci’s character, either. The Wall Street Journal reported late last night that another Senate committee now has a copy of Fauci’s iPhone, used during his management of the pandemic. What secrets might that hold?
Update: Fauci held in contempt by Senate panel after taking the Fifth 111 times in COVID hearing — could face prosecution
WASHINGTON — A Senate committee voted on Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt for declining to answer questions about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as his past testimony to Congress regarding risky, US-funded “gain of function” research
The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted 8-5 along party lines to refer the former director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for potential prosecution after he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 111 times last week.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that Canada has “been involved from the start” in the case of a Canadian intern at NATO’s military headquarters in Belgium now facing espionage charges,
Carney spoke in Toronto on Wednesday after making a housing announcement, and was asked whether he has spoken with NATO or the Belgian authorities about what Canada will do next and about the security risk posed by the spying case.
That’s Carney speak for “We gave Biwei her marching orders.”
The lefty Canadian illegal immigrant who slapped a teenage girl at the Jersey Shore wearing pro-Trump clothing embarrassingly failed to raise half the money requested for her legal fund.
An online fundraiser for Kaitlyn Tracey’s legal expenses in her immigration case only raised $4,857 of its $10,000 goal — a final, humiliating blow as she was ordered to be deported back to her home country on Tuesday.
Canadian provincial politicians are vastly overpaid compared to their U.S. counterparts, but their electors have little to show for it, according to a new report released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
The Subnational Politician Pay Report looks at average salaries for provincial and state politicians across Canada and the United States.
Iran says it has reached an agreement with Oman on a route for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei did not give any further details on the agreement, which he said was “in the final stages”.
Baqaei warned, however, that a deal with Oman would not guarantee safe navigation through the strait, arguing security remained impacted by the US blockade of Iran’s ports. The US and Oman have not commented on the proposal.
The federal government is pledging $2.7 billion to build more than 18 housing projects across the city of Toronto, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Wednesday.
The plan includes 5,600 rental homes, 1,800 of which will be “deeply affordable,” supportive or rent-controlled, according to Carney. He said 4,500 new homes will be under construction by year’s end.
He said the projects will take place in neighbourhoods hardest hit by rising rent and evictions, and will include a 16-story complex in Parkdale and another in Scarborough at 158 Borough Drive.

Austria’s right-wing Freedom Party (FPÖ) has criticised the use of almost €400,000 in public funds for a university research project examining the evolution of “far-right” fashion.
The three-year project, entitled “Fashion and Right-Wing Extremism,” is being carried out by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and is due to conclude in September. It has received almost €400,000 in funding from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), which is financed through public money and supervised by the Social Democrat-led Ministry for Women, Science, and Research.
The intellectual foundation underlying the Canadian policy of continuous, high immigration is showing considerable strain as key weaknesses are exposed in several of the arguments most commonly used by proponents.
One of the most common reasons cited by politicians to explain why Canada needs a high annual immigration inflow is to offset declining domestic fertility rates. A core flaw of this argument was just exposed in a paper published in Population Research and Policy Review, a longstanding peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to the study of demography.
Dutch authorities have arrested four teenagers with immigrant backgrounds in connection with an investigation into an alleged terrorist plot, with prosecutors accusing the suspects of preparing a terrorist attack while continuing to insist that no specific target or timing for an attack has yet been identified.
The latest arrest came on Friday evening, July 31st, when heavily armed officers from the police’s Special Intervention Service (DSI) detained an 18-year-old man at his home in Kesteren, Gelderland. Police searched the suspect’s home and seized electronic devices, including phones and laptops, for further examination.
