The review brings together existing research from the four countries on antisemitism in health-care professions, including medicine, psychology, nursing, and social work.

BRULOTTE: Canada’s Military shouldn’t censor God

BRULOTTE: Canada’s Military shouldn’t censor God

The Canadian Armed Forces has long reflected the very best of our country. Courage. Duty. Service before self. It has also recognized another enduring truth: many who volunteer to defend Canada draw strength from faith. For more than 150 years, military chaplains have stood alongside Canadian soldiers, sailors, and aviators in times of war and peace, offering prayers rooted in their respective faith traditions. That tradition has never divided our Armed Forces. It has strengthened them.

Classified report reveals how India’s Bishnoi gang uses Canada’s student visa program

The top lieutenant of the Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar arrived in Canada in 2017, ostensibly to attend Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C.

Instead, he helped Bishnoi expand his criminal organization into Canada, allegedly instigating high-profile murders, a political assassination and an extortion crisis.

FBI opened probe into whether Trump was Russian agent after he fired James Comey, newly revealed memos show

WASHINGTON — The FBI opened an investigation into whether President Trump was “wittingly or unwittingly” acting as a Russian agent when he fired then-Director James Comey in 2017, according to bombshell documents released by the White House Wednesday.

The probe, called “Oxford Comma,” grew out of Crossfire Hurricane, the bureau’s probe into whether Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with the Kremlin to get the 45th president elected.

“Based on the facts and circumstances provided to date, the FBI believes that opening this investigation is the least intrusive method to address the serious national security risk posed by the activities alleged,” one of the declassified bureau memos shows.

Afrofest organizer blames city for cancellation: ‘We have never been accepted in the Beaches’

Afrofest organizer blames city for cancellation: ‘We have never been accepted in the Beaches’

The organizer of Afrofest, one of the largest celebrations of African music and culture in North America, is blaming the city for the cancellation of this summer’s festival, which has been running annually for nearly 40 years.

“There’s a lot of anger in me,” said Peter Toh, executive and artistic director of Afrofest. “What happened is by design. We have never been accepted in the Beaches, only tolerated.”


It’s implied racism was the cause of course. Africans built the Beaches after all.

If this keeps up Toronto will soon be facing a shortage of mass shooting venues.

The Typhus Rats of Los Angeles

The Typhus Rats of Los Angeles

Rats have been with us since the beginning. For thousands of years, wherever humans settled land, built cities, or crossed oceans, rats were never far behind, constructing a civilization of their own beneath our feet.

In Los Angeles County (L.A.), rats abound. You may see only an occasional rat dart across an alley or root through a restaurant dumpster, but make no mistake: they are everywhere, from Skid Row to Koreatown, from Boyle Heights to Santa Monica. They are always nearby, even if sometimes out of sight: scurrying in storm drains, walls, crawl spaces, and alleyways.

The shiny new US-Canada bridge that Stellantis truck drivers are forbidden to touch

The shiny new US-Canada bridge that Stellantis truck drivers are forbidden to touch

After decades of waiting, political debates, and construction delays starting back in June 2018, the Gordie Howe International Bridge officially opened on July 26, 2026. Connecting Michigan’s Interstate 75 directly with Ontario’s Highway 401, this modern engineering marvel was supposed to revolutionize cross-border shipping between the US and Canada. There is just one tiny, hilariously corporate catch: if you drive a semi-truck for Stellantis’ logistics arm, FCA Transport, touching that shiny new asphalt could cost you your job.

Experimental US weapon test blamed for crashing medical plane and killing four Americans

A US military GPS-jamming exercise has been linked to a medevac plane crash that killed four people in the mountains of New Mexico.

The twin-engine Beechcraft King Air was flying from Roswell to Ruidoso in early May to collect a patient when its pilots suddenly lost access to their modern navigation systems.

It was a clear, nearly moonless night, leaving the crew with few visual references as they flew over the dark and sparsely populated landscape.

Over 4,000 charges laid in retail theft probe involving ‘repeat and prolific offenders’: Toronto police

Over 4,000 charges laid in retail theft probe involving ‘repeat and prolific offenders’: Toronto police

The thefts are shockingly brazen. Videos shared by Toronto police on Wednesday show multiple suspects walking into stores, loading up bags, suitcases and shopping carts with items and walking out, seemingly without fear of consequence.

Despite the cavalier nature of the alleged crimes, there were indeed consequences.

Toronto police announced over 500 arrests and 4,000 charges in a years-long, ongoing retail theft probe that Supt. Ron Taverner said involves “repeat and prolific offenders” with ties to larger organized crime groups.
