Toronto has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness, according to a new city survey that recorded more than 15,000 residents without housing.
The point-in-time review, called the street needs assessment, looks to capture the scope of homelessness across shelters, encampments, hotel programs, respites, health-care and correctional facilities.
OTTAWA — A new poll suggests most Canadians are unfamiliar with nine possible NDP leadership contenders.
A majority of respondents to the Research Co. poll said they “don’t know who the person is” when asked about possible candidates like current NDP MPs Leah Gazan, Gord Johns, Jenny Kwan and Heather McPherson.
Today marks the 20-year anniversary of the most lethal terrorist attack on British soil of this century so far: the 7/7 London Bombings. It was the first Islamist suicide attack in the UK, and the deadliest act of terror since the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. Even though I was a 15-year-old schoolboy at the time, I remember the 7/7 attacks as if they were yesterday. Fifty-two people were murdered, with a further 784 injured, by four jihadists: Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Shehzad Tanweer and Germaine Lindsay. Three were British-born sons of Pakistani Muslim migrants, with the other being a Jamaica-born convert to Islam.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he will announce a 50 per cent tax on imported copper on Tuesday — adding to the growing list of punishing tariffs that are causing economic dislocation in Canada and around the world.
Trump said the tariffs are coming during a cabinet meeting at the White House.
On Monday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk warned that there’s a concerted “influence campaign” underway in Washington to quietly steer President Donald Trump toward granting mass amnesty—even after he secured a major border-and-security funding package. Kirk says elite “ruling class” players, emboldened by recent spending wins, are now pressuring Trump to “come to the middle” on immigration by legalizing up to 25 million undocumented residents.
Canada’s dairy farms are growing in size and shrinking in number, and the sector has failed to grow at the same rate as other large agricultural industries.
Yet dairy farmers are largely protected from international competition by a half-century old policy called supply management. And this policy – which sets a production quota and price point for dairy products – threatens to hurt other Canadian industries as U.S. President Donald Trump assails what he calls unfair protectionist measures and threatens to walk away from trade deals.
A look at the list of guests for the various late-night TV comedy shows finds that 99 percent of them have been liberals and only one was center right.
According to a review of all the guests on the five major late-night shows, there was nearly no inclusion of center right guests. The survey was compiled by the Media Research Center and followed the guests on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show.
WASHINGTON — As U.S. President Donald Trump pursues his global trade war and talk of annexation, a new poll suggests the percentage of Canadians who view the United States as a top threat has tripled since 2019.
The survey by the Pew Research Center also suggests that 55 per cent of Canadians say the U.S. remains this country’s most important ally.
Virginia Giuffre’s family is preparing for a legal battle with her allegedly abusive husband to stop him inheriting her wealth, which includes an estimated $10 million of Prince Andrew’s money.
Giuffre, who died by suicide at her Perth home in April, had built up a multimillion-dollar estate from victim compensation funds and civil lawsuit settlements resulting from abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and his high-profile friends.
The Times can reveal the California-born 41-year-old died intestate, meaning her husband, Robert Giuffre, could be entitled to as much as a third of that estate under Australian law.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, who campaigned and won the recent federal election by promising to stand up for Canada, has so far acquiesced to United States President Donald Trump’s significant demands. Carney agreed to increase spending on our national defence to five per cent of our GDP, agreed to rescind our digital services tax on American tech giants, and seemed to suggest that Canada may take part in Trump’s Golden Dome, modelled after Israel’s Iron Dome. On the dome issue, Trump is now saying it would cost Canada $61-billion, or we can participate for free if we become America’s 51st state. Hopefully Carney is playing the long game here and will eventually fight back, but so far, at least publicly, he has not.
This is not standing up for Canada’s values.
What could he realistically do? Besides he and his cronies will profit deal or no deal, likely the most if Canada is broken up.
OTTAWA — The premiers of Alberta and Ontario both said at a meeting Monday that they are cautiously optimistic that Prime Minister Mark Carney will successfully get a new oil pipeline built in Canada. But Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said the planning should not be limited to just one.
Meeting with her Ontario counterpart in Calgary, Smith said Alberta crude oil should have access to a “growing share” of pipelines. “I’m of the view there’s probably room for more than one pipeline, probably several.”
On the night of Thursday, July 3rd, a young German citizen was assaulted in Place du Luxembourg in Brussels, just steps from the European Parliament. The incident occurred at the well-known bar ’The Network,’ a popular gathering spot for EU officials, parliamentary assistants, and visitors.
According to the testimony of the 24-year-old victim, the incident began when a woman approached him and snatched a white baseball cap with the slogan “Make America Great Again,” associated with former U.S. President Donald Trump. After calling him a “racist,” three men, reportedly of North African origin, joined in, allegedly insulting and physically attacking him, leaving him with multiple bruises, facial injuries, and a head wound that required several stitches.
Prosecution seeks life sentence on terrorism grounds for alleged mass killing threat in Montreal
A Crown prosecutor is now treating a man’s alleged threat of a mass killing in Montreal in May as a terrorist act and wants to secure a life sentence for the accused.
Mohammed Abdullah Warsame, 51, was arrested by the RCMP last month and charged with one count of uttering threats. According to the Mounties, he allegedly told an employee at a local homeless shelter in late May that he wanted to “commit an attack with the goal of killing a large number of people.”
Vox promises to expel people of foreign origin who ‘have not adapted to our customs’
Spain’s far-Right party Vox has vowed to deport around eight million people if it wins the next election.
This week, party leaders said they wanted to remove all people of foreign origin who have not adopted Spanish customs – a shift from their previous position of only deporting those in the country illegally.
Rocío de Meer, Vox’s spokeswoman for demographic emergency and social policies, said the policy would mean expelling “millions of people who have recently come to our country and have not adapted to our customs”.
