President Donald Trump’s ban on Canadian alcoholic beverages is set to take effect on Sept. 29. It covers a broad range of beer, wine and spirits. For Canadian producers, this is no small matter: in the 2024–25 fiscal year, we exported $1.4 billion in alcoholic beverages to the United States. That is a lot of business to put at risk.
Israel has tracked down and killed the Hamas terrorist suspected of kidnapping hostages Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or during the October 7 attacks.
Saher Nidal Latfi Sakr supplied weapons to Hamas during the war and rode the motorbike used to kidnap the couple from the Nova music festival and take them into Gaza in 2023.
The terrorist was killed by an airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, in an operation carried out by Israel Police’s Gideonim Unit 33.

Canada’s former top military commander considered resigning “several times” during his tenure in battles with the former Trudeau government over the sexual misconduct scandal, and the lack of commitment towards defence spending.
Retired general Wayne Eyre’s new memoir, Into the Breach: A Soldier’s Journey, also peels back the curtain on the internal debate that took place over how to end the convoy occupation of downtown Ottawa in early 2022.
Two separate mass shootings near South Africa’s two biggest cities killed at least 27 people, as the country grapples with one of the world’s highest murder rates amid investigations into corruption and criminality within the police.
The South African police service said on Sunday that 17 people were killed on Saturday night when eight suspects armed with AK-47 assault rifles and pistols opened fire at a bar in Wedela township, about 50 miles south-west of central Johannesburg. At least 15 other people sustained gunshot injuries in that attack, police said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney has explained his push for a closer relationship with Europe in simple terms.
“Developing an alliance for the future with the European Union … is based on Canada becoming more sovereign,” he said last week at a press conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
On Monday, China released more information of what was agreed at the talks between Xi Jinping and Donald Tump last week, shedding light on a handful of concrete outcomes.
But there were no joint statements and few major breakthroughs.
Instead, both governments issued separate accounts of the meeting – perhaps a sign that despite the White House tours and promise of warmer ties, Washington and Beijing remain wary of each other.
Parliament is back with a substantive legislative agenda that reminds us: Democracy is nothing without accountability. For shame, then, that His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition is distracted by internal schisms and online echo chambers.
This fall, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives must gain a foothold. The party’s own MPs know it. Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman told reporters, “This is not the position we want to be in.”
Has there ever been a time in living memory when British prestige, at home and abroad, was at a lower ebb?
Not in the 1940s, when the country was bankrupt after the Second World War. Not in the 1950s, when we were humiliated by Suez and decolonisation gathered pace. Not in the 1960s and 70s, when we were the “sick man of Europe”. Not in the 1990s and 2000s, when financial crises rocked the economy. Not even in the last decade, a time of chaos, pestilence and war.
No, the period that began in 2024 has defined a new circle of hell – one in which what is left of Britain’s withered empire looks about to fall apart and nationalist vultures are gathering over the United Kingdom itself.
Neil Herland has worked for the CBC, Canada’s state-owned media corporation, for 29 years. He is also Jewish. And today, for the first time in his 29-year career, his employer has taken him off the air, seemingly at the behest of a Muslim advocacy organization. What the hell is going on with freedom of speech in Canada?

Donald Trump has warned the five men arrested over a foiled terror attack at RAF Fairford were ‘looking to do big damage’ to US forces.
The arrests come amid heightened concerns around the threat from hostile states to the UK, with Russia among those that have used proxies to commit crimes on their behalf on British soil.
However, counter-terrorism police are understood to be probing a potential link to Iran.
Sexualized jokes, “microaggressions” and other inappropriate behaviour continue within Canada’s military despite a decade-long effort to change workplace culture, according to a Department of National Defence report.
The report, Evaluation Of Defence Team Culture, said overt misconduct has become less acceptable since DND began its culture-change campaign in 2015, but investigators found less obvious behaviour continues to affect military and civilian workplaces.

From the very start of the Quebec election campaign, Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon made it clear that immigration would once again be one of the defining issues. By proposing to cut the number of temporary immigrants in the province by half and reduce permanent immigration to roughly 35,000 people a year, the PQ leader has reignited a debate that, predictably, quickly became polarized.
It took only a few days for the discussion to move away from the proposed levels and from Quebec’s actual capacity to welcome and integrate newcomers. Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Ruba Ghazal was quick to ask the PQ leader to define “what is a Quebecer?” Liberal leader Charles Milliard, for his part, accused PSPP of operating in a “gray zone” when discussing immigration.

Utah Valley University failed on a number of fronts to protect Charlie Kirk from the assassin who took his life at an outdoor event a little over a year ago, according to an independent review released on Friday.
While the 157-page report from the Illinois-based Lake Forest Group found no evidence UVU employees or agents acted in “bad faith or in willing and wanton disregard for the safety of others,” it does reveal serious security “gaps” and a failure of UVU officials to follow their own policies.
