Vatican excommunicates all members of ultra-conservative rebel group SSPX

The Vatican has excommunicated a rebel group of ultra-conservative Catholics who defied Pope Leo by ordaining bishops without his consent, creating a schism in the Roman Catholic church.

In a statement on Thursday, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, who heads the Holy See’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, said the group from the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), founded in the Swiss village of Écône in 1970, had “committed an act of a schismatic nature” which, under canon law, was punishable with automatic excommunication.

New report reveals reasons behind Canada’s brain drain to U.S.

OTTAWA — Canada’s best and brightest are leaving Canada in droves, and it’s more than just chasing warmer winters.

A study released this week from the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy shows that, since the end of the pandemic, Canadians heading south to the United States for work has spiked — citing jobs, taxes and Canada’s collapsing healthcare system as reasons.

Are these native born citizens or a mix of citizens and permanent residents?

Astonishing cost of asylum: Home Office confirms each claim costs the taxpayer £18,700

Every asylum claim lodged in Britain hits the taxpayer with an £18,700 bill, astonishing new figures disclose.

The average sum includes the cost of providing accommodation and living costs, as well as the sums spent on processing claims and any legal appeals.

It will include Channel small boat arrivals who are housed in migrant hotels as well as less costly types of claimant, such as those who arrive legally on work or student visas and then claim asylum in a bid to remain in Britain.

Kate Marland: Anti-family propaganda has devastated a generation of women

Kate Marland: Anti-family propaganda has devastated a generation of women

Overwhelmingly, women are increasingly dissatisfied with our modern conditions, to the extent that no Hugo Spritz or pair of Jimmy Choos can cure. A 2023 Cardus study found that over half of Canadian women are having fewer children than they would like. Contrary to what you might assume based on Canadian conservative messaging, the predominant factor here is not affordability or housing costs. This study found that the most influential factors affecting fertility rates relate to the idea that children are burdensome, parenting is time-consuming, and that women want to finish self-development and exploration before starting families. Somewhere between avoiding pregnancy from ages 15-29 and self-actualizing ourselves into six-figure, corner office jobs, it appears we have lost our way. Raised on a heady cocktail of Sex and the City, Girls, Lean In, and She-EOs, it’s no wonder we find ourselves here, in a society that prioritizes material success over family formation. Women who have been incentivized to put off having children to build a career are becoming increasingly aware that their lives are missing something.

Russia planning attack on Poland to test Nato resolve, US warns

Russia is planning an armed “provocation” on Polish soil to test Nato’s resolve, the United States has warned.

Polish critical infrastructure could be targeted by missiles and drones or Russian soldiers could cross the border into Nato territory.

Washington has issued several warnings to Warsaw about the plot, sources close to Karol Nawrocki, the Polish president, told Onet, the Polish news outlet, which, along with The Telegraph, is owned by Axel Springer and is part of its Global Reporters Network.

NEWELL: The glaring difference between the US and Canadian militaries — besides the obvious

NEWELL: The glaring difference between the US and Canadian militaries — besides the obvious

Canadians are ashamed. Our military has been in disarray and pitifully inferior for years, but since Justin Trudeau and then Mark Carney have been at the helm of our country, it has deteriorated even more.

Conversely, the citizens of the United States (US) are still proud of their mighty army and the men who serve.

Joel Kotkin: Why the Fourth of July is relevant to Canada, too

Joel Kotkin: Why the Fourth of July is relevant to Canada, too

The United States approaches its 250th anniversary deeply divided. Pride in the country, at roughly 40 per cent, has dropped to a historic low, notes Gallup, a trend most evident among younger, educated people.

To be sure it depends where in the U.S. you go. There used to be little difference between the parties, as was evidenced in the 1976 centennial. But, again predating Donald Trump, the gap between Republicans and Democrats has widened, with the latter generally not proud of their country. In deep blue areas like California and New York, celebrations are muted; even the traditional Fourth of July fireworks show in Long Beach, Calif., has been cancelled. Don’t expect much celebratory treatment in left-dominated Hollywood either.

While diplomatic backchannels between Tehran and Washington remain active to contain regional escalation and finalize temporary understandings, a full-scale political battle has erupted inside Iran. Reuters reported in June 2026 that Iran and the United States were still exchanging messages regarding an interim memorandum of understanding, including mechanisms for releasing frozen Iranian funds.
