Doug Ford says the quiet part out loud.
The loquacious Ontario premier has always been quotable, but rarely more so than when he’s railing against U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade attack on Canada.
Helpfully playing the bad cop to partner Mark Carney‘s good cop, Ford, as a subnational leader, can get away with saying things the prime minister cannot.
A secretive Whitehall unit complained to US tech giants about social media posts criticising asylum hotels, immigration and ‘two-tier’ policing, it has emerged.
Officials working for Technology Secretary Peter Kyle warned TikTok about videos with ‘concerning narratives’ and claimed they were ‘exacerbating tensions’ on the streets.
Emails sent by the Government’s National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT) during last year’s Southport riots have been obtained by a US congressional committee.
A Toronto judge has designated a repeat sex offender as dangerous and handed down an indefinite prison sentence — while expressing concern that the prisoner, who identifies as transgender, was granted a transfer to a women’s detention facility.
In a sentencing decision released last week, Ontario Court Justice Brock Jones said he was “alarmed” to learn that Charles Waddling-Leeson had been moved to a provincial women’s detention facility after starting a gender transition from male to female while in custody.
A delegation of Israeli soldiers visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum have been ordered to remove national flags during an annual ceremony.
In what is believed to be the first time such an order has occurred at the event, the “humiliating” incident was blamed on “antisemitism and an attempt to reshape the historical narrative” by a member of the delegation.
It’s best not to be ruled by mobs. Not in our thinking, and particularly not in our actions.
Not by the mob that has spent the past week denouncing Christian rock singer Sean Feucht, and not by the mob currently insisting that the exoneration, in a sexual assault trial, of five former members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team was wrong, both legally and morally.

A wave of shoplifting across Germany—with migrants increasingly behind the thefts—is forcing major retailers to lock away goods and rethink how they operate. As losses mount into the billions, supermarkets are now treating everyday items like high-security stock.
Junge Freiheit reports that a Kaufland supermarket in the eastern state of Thuringia has removed expensive alcoholic drinks from its shelves, replacing them with tokens that customers must take to the information desk after purchase. Staff say the move became necessary after organised thieves began clearing out shelves “rucksack by rucksack”.
Yikes! @fancypants_s https://t.co/skQCOERfLe

In May, Canada had the lowest level of job vacancies in eight years as the number of jobs dropped in several industries, according to the latest numbers from Statistics Canada.
Job vacancies dropped by 4.1 percent (20,400), StatCan said in a July 31 release. It was the lowest rate since October 2017.
On a year-over-year basis, the number of available jobs dropped by 15.8 percent to 89,700, StatCan said.
A record number of foreign thugs, thieves and sex offenders are costing taxpayers more than £360million a year, shocking new analysis has revealed. Some 10,772 overseas nationals are languishing in overcrowded jails.
This includes 6,673 criminals serving sentences and 3,781 people on remand. Almost half of foreign prisoners have been locked up for violent and sexual crimes, analysis of Ministry of Justice figures has revealed. The MoJ has, for the first time, confirmed 2,083 foreign thugs are behind bars for violent offences. Another 1,159 are on remand.
As August 1 quietly slipped by, so did Canada’s last, best chance to avoid a sharp escalation in trade tensions with its most important economic partner. Unlike Mexico, which secured a temporary reprieve, Canada is now fully exposed to a 35% tariff imposed by the United States on a range of non-USMCA-covered goods. For the Canadian agri-food sector — and for consumers from coast to coast — this is less a policy adjustment and more a gut punch.
There’s a quiet crisis unfolding in Canadian neighbourhoods. Good, law-abiding citizens — mothers, fathers, seniors, and working-class homeowners — are being dragged through the criminal justice system for doing what any decent person would do in the face of violence: they defended themselves and their families from evil.
Last week, Ontario MPP Bobbi Ann Brady called for the adoption of U.S.-style Castle Doctrine in Canada.
The Department of Justice official who signed off on $2 million in taxpayer-funded payments to disgraced Russia collusion hoax participants left the Department of Justice to help lead the “legal resistance” to President Donald Trump and other duly-elected Republicans, new records reviewed exclusively by The Federalist reveal.
Truly super-intelligent bots could wipe us off the face of the Earth, says a Nobel prizewinner and others — who predict machines will match humans in as little as a year
On an overcast afternoon in late July, about 25 people are standing in front of OpenAI’s bland corporate office building in the Mission Bay district. They’re each wearing a red T-shirt that reads “Stop AI”, which is both their cause and the name of their group. One is dressed as a robot.
Political protest is baked deep into the culture of San Francisco. The people at this one look like thousands of others who have opposed niche issues that make most people shrug and walk on.
But if the protesters are even a little bit right, then every single human being on the planet should share their concerns. Because the Stop AI protesters believe that if we continue on our current path with artificial intelligence, it will lead to the extinction of mankind.
A new survey suggests more than half of Canadians believe they didn’t have enough information or needed more to cast their ballot in the last federal election.
The Ipsos poll says 57 per cent of respondents either believed they didn’t have enough local news or could have used more to assess candidates back in April.
