Canada’s premiers raised a glass to internal trade last week. Nine provinces signed an agreement allowing licensed Canadian wineries, breweries, and distilleries to sell directly to consumers across participating jurisdictions. Quebec and Yukon, which helped develop the framework, have not yet joined but say they are working toward implementation. British Columbia, meanwhile, will not have its full system operating until Feb. 2027.
Non-Muslim officers and staff working at West Midlands Police have been invited to fast during Ramadan in an “act of solidarity”, The Telegraph can reveal.
The West Midlands Association of Muslim Police has said colleagues can take part in a fast for the day during the religious festival to raise money for charity.
West Midlands Police said the practice helped officers understand the “significance of Ramadan” for Muslim residents.
Some U.S. officials are condemning the apparent arson that destroyed a popular kosher restaurant in Montreal early Sunday morning, with some characterizing the incident as part of a broader pattern of antisemitic attacks.
Illinois Congressman Paul Schneider, co-chair of the Congressional Jewish Congress, said he and his colleagues “are disgusted and outraged” by what he described as “yet another heinous attack on Jewish-owned business.”
Greek police have charged a man in connection with the murder of a British woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens.
Elisabeth Jane Ross, 38 who was also known as Lisa, was discovered inside a suitcase by a homeless man in an abandoned car park in the Kypseli district of Athens on 18 July.
The man arrested is reported to be a 26-year-old Afghan national who confessed to the killing. He is believed to have met Ms Ross through her work helping refugees and homeless people.
The first reactors in Canada’s planned nuclear expansion will depend on foreign suppliers — including the United States — to enrich and fabricate their fuel, even as Prime Minister Mark Carney argues Canadian sovereignty depends on the country’s ability to supply and control its own energy.
It marks a sharp departure from the Candu reactor system, which gave Canada — the world’s second-largest uranium producer — a largely domestic nuclear supply chain for more than half a century.

Montreal — There is a debilitating temptation within the Jewish community today to assume that every crime involving a Jewish institution must automatically be an act of antisemitism.
The temptation is understandable. After almost two years of escalating hatred, firebombings, shootings, vandalism, intimidation and open calls for violence against Jews, no one can be faulted for being alert. Vigilance is not only justified — it is necessary.
Jamey Carney never tired of saying how happy she was with her new life in Ireland, describing relocating there as ‘the best decision’ she had ever made.
The American single mother, 43, had always been proud of her Irish roots, and finally left the US five years ago to set up home with her young daughter in Killarney, which sits in the heart of a dramatic landscape of lakes, mountains, waterfalls and ancient woods.
hirty years is a long time—long enough for one generation to grow into adulthood and another to begin.
With time, great public tragedies pass into history. Dates remain. Photographs endure. The language used to describe them becomes familiar through repetition.
The people themselves are more easily lost.
“Canada’s next submarine fleet will secure our coastlines and waters,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said early last month in announcing the choice of Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems as the preferred bidder for the country’s new underwater fleet.
Patrolling Canada’s three coasts will be part of the job for the fleet of up to a dozen state-of-the-art diesel-electric 212CD submarines, says retired vice-admiral Darren Hawco, who commanded Canada’s Atlantic Fleet and served as the nation’s military representative to NATO until 2020.
I’ll believe it when I see it. We’ll get 3 subs if we’re lucky.
A week on from the murderous attack on Berlin’s Pride festival, new details continue to emerge. Investigators have found a video on the phone of the perpetrator, Abdul Ballout, in which he claims responsibility on behalf of Islamic State (ISIS). It has also emerged that two of his cousins were ISIS fighters, while his uncle – Omar Bakri Muhammad – is an influential Islamist preacher in London.
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci a full 111 times in last Wednesday’s homeland security committee hearing. According to Miranda Devine, that number is exceeded by “only a couple of mob bosses.” While invoking his own constitutional rights, Dr. Fauci believes the people don’t have rights even more basic than avoiding self-incrimination.

Federal cabinet ministers were warned months before the September 11 terrorist attacks that Canadian charities were being exploited to raise money for terrorist organizations and that extremist groups were using Canada as a base for fundraising and logistical support, according to newly declassified records.
Cabinet minutes obtained through Access to Information reveal ministers discussed terrorist financing, organized crime and extremist threats during a confidential meeting on May 8, 2001, roughly four months before Al-Qaeda carried out the attacks on New York and Washington that killed 2,753 people, including 24 Canadians.
