Canada did not see historic population decline last year, StatsCan says after second look

Canada’s population saw a slight bump in 2025, Statistics Canada says, revising a previous estimate that showed the population decreased for the first time in the country’s history.

The statistics agency released new numbers last week that suggest the population grew slightly, by 280,810 people, in all of 2025.

The new estimate is a revision from data released in March that indicated the country had seen an annual net decline in residents for the first time since Confederation.

280K 3rd World Migrants is just dandy by CBC standards. They should all move in to CBC HQ.

10 Muslims jailed for 130 years after setting a mother and girl on fire

10 Muslims jailed for 130 years after setting a mother and girl on fire

Ten men have been jailed for a combined 130 years after a mother was set on fire in a revenge attack that also seriously injured a teenage girl.

To escape the flames at a house on Beverley Drive in Stoke-on-Trent, on the night of 16 December 2021, both victims were forced to jump from an upstairs window they had smashed.

The convictions of the 10 men involved came after an 11-week trial at Nottingham Crown Court, which ended in February, alongside a number of guilty pleas entered before the trial began.

How a former actress turned private eye ended up in the crosshairs of the Project South police corruption probe

How a former actress turned private eye ended up in the crosshairs of the Project South police corruption probe

It took less than five minutes to install the GPS tracker.

Surveillance footage from a drizzly January night earlier this year reportedly captured the scene as former actress turned private investigator Jennifer Jasey allegedly snuck into a parking garage, found the car she was after, had the device stuck on its undercarriage and slipped back into the elevator.

In the days that followed, Jasey is alleged to have used the tracker to follow the car’s owner, a woman in the process of divorcing an ex-husband she accused of domestic abuse, in an effort to find out where she lived and whether she had a boyfriend.

Toronto and Vancouver ranked among the weakest real estate markets in the world.

Toronto and Vancouver ranked among the weakest real estate markets in the world.

Toronto went from the strongest real estate market in the world to one of the weakest in a span of four years, with a new report finding housing prices in the city have fallen by around 30 per cent since peaking in 2022.

UBS, a global wealth management firm, published its annual Global Real Estate Bubble Index on Monday, tracking residential prices across 23 cities worldwide, like Amsterdam, Dubai, New York City, and Tokyo.

The report delved into housing price trends, what kind of housing bubble risk these cities are facing, how long it takes to buy a 650-square-foot apartment on an average income, and how the cost of homeownership compares to rent for comparable homes.

Trump blasts Canada, says tariffs can fund $5,000 payments

OTTAWA — US President Donald Trump is directly linking his tariffs to a promise to give American adults $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in November.

“Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits,” Trump said in video remarks. “It’s one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult.”

Woke Grad School Teacher Programs Help Explain Why The Kids Can’t Read

Woke Grad School Teacher Programs Help Explain Why The Kids Can’t Read

he New York Times featured an in-depth essay from writer Nikole Hannah-Jones last week about the lamentable state of elementary and secondary education in the United States. The essay’s contents deserve (and are receiving) much criticism, thanks in part to Hannah-Jones sacrificing her daughter’s educational outcomes on the altar of wokeness and racism. But moral failings aside, the “1619 Project” author shines a spotlight on the failures plaguing American students not just in inner cities but across the map.

UK Muslim Minister Cracks Down on Christian Refugees, Fast Tracks Afghans and Palestinians

UK Muslim Minister Cracks Down on Christian Refugees, Fast Tracks Afghans and Palestinians

While the UK has swapped out its previous prime minister, Keir Starmer, who failed to prosecute Muslim sex grooming gangs while heading the Crown Prosecution Service, for current PM Andy Burnham, who did little about Muslim sex grooming gangs when he was mayor of Greater Manchester, Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani Muslim, has been heading up the UK’s security and immigration ministry.

Do not elect or appoint Islamists to positions they can use to advance their corruption.

Closer to home …

Jamie Sarkonak: Mark Carney’s enormous new major projects bill is a mirage

Jamie Sarkonak: Mark Carney’s enormous new major projects bill is a mirage

The newly tabled revamp to the federal infrastructure approvals process — Bill C-39 — comes with the tagline, “One project, one decision, in one year.” But this seems to be more a suggestion than a rule.

If passed, the bill would make numerous changes to federal laws that determine whether or not infrastructure gets built. The intent is to streamline the approvals process and to give a better estimate to prospective builders of when to expect a green light.

Teen becomes first person to face terror charges because of his ‘hatred for humanity’

Teen becomes first person to face terror charges because of his ‘hatred for humanity’

A teenager found with an axe and a stash of knives in a duffle bag has been charged with preparing a terrorist attack in the first case said to be motivated by ‘misanthropy’, a hatred of humanity.

It comes amid concerns that young people preparing mass casualty attacks are escaping with relatively minor charges because they are not considered to have an ideology.

Terrorist attacks are defined as the use or threat of serious violence for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.
