VANCOUVER — The Canadian Broadcast Corporation is drawing criticism, yet again, for its editorial decision making — this time for encouraging compassion towards a man ordered deported after he pleaded guilty to killing 16 people, while suggesting a man acquitted of sexual assault should be spared the opportunity of a fresh start.
Royal Navy has no available nuclear submarines at sea as entire fleet sits in port
The Royal Navy currently has zero attack submarines available for operations, with all five of its Astute-class hunter-killer boats docked for maintenance or technical issues.
According to multiple reports, the entire fleet of Astute-class submarines — HMS Astute, Ambush, Artful, Audacious, and Anson — is alongside, leaving Britain without a single operational nuclear-powered attack submarine for the first time in recent memory.

LILLEY: Canada’s failed covenant is leading to quiet Jewish exodus
We are witnessing the beginning stages of a new Jewish exodus, not from Egypt and slavery, but from Canada’s rising antisemitism. There are the high-profile cases like bestselling author and professor Gad Saad or Dr. Emmanuel Moss, the chief heart surgeon at the Montreal Jewish General Hospital.
France and Germany abandon joint project to build European fighter jet
France and Germany have concluded that the companies involved in building a joint fighter jet will not be able to reach an agreement and have abandoned the project, officials in Berlin have said in a blow to Europe’s common defence efforts.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, had “reached the shared assessment that the companies will not be able to come together”, an official told Agence France-Presse. “They acknowledge this reality.”
Germany couldn’t agree to the French demand for an automated surrender shutdown.
Toronto man Shafik Al Jawhari charged after allegedly threatening people he ‘perceived to be Palestinian’: police
A 32-year-old man from Toronto is facing several charges in connection with a hate-motivated threatening incident in Scarborough over the weekend.
Shafik Al Jawhari, 32, of Toronto, was subsequently arrested and charged with one count each of assault with a weapon, weapons dangerous, and fail to comply probation order as well as two counts of uttering threats to cause death. The charges have not been proven in court.
Toronto’s multiculturalism is turning into cannibalism.
Jailed crypto founder Sam Bankman-Fried seeks Trump pardon
Sam Bankman-Fried, the one-time giant in cryptocurrencies currently in prison for fraud, has applied for a pardon from President Donald Trump.
Bankman-Fried was given a 25-year sentence after he was convicted of multiple federal charges related to FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange that he founded and led, and its related company Alameda Research.
Just two years into that sentence, the 34-year-old former billionaire has now filed an application for pardon after completion of sentence to the Department of Justice, according to online records.
Toronto child poverty rates rise for third straight year: ‘How can it be acceptable?’
Sharma Queiser has researched the social issues that Torontonians face for more than a decade, authoring reports that aim to raise awareness and improve lives.
Every few years, she’s been part of the team that puts together a report card on child and family poverty for Social Planning Toronto.
But co-authoring the report this time was different for her. It’s the first time the report has come out since she became a parent. The team found that for the third consecutive year, child poverty rates have risen in Toronto, disproportionately affecting families who are immigrants, racialized or have a single parent in their households.
This article suggests Canada do a better job crafting a beneficial to citizens immigration policy rather than using it to feed a vote buying machine.
Trump says Iran shot down US helicopter and vows to respond
President Donald Trump has accused Iran of shooting down a US helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to respond to the attack out of “necessity”.
Two crew members of the Apache helicopter that crashed following the attack were rescued by an American sea drone, the Pentagon said in a statement.
“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
‘Free Healthcare‘: Emergency Room Waits Kill 300-a-Week in UK
Over 300 people died every week while waiting for treatment in British emergency rooms in 2025, where deadly overcrowding in hospitals is said to have been normalised, with half a million people forced to wait over 24 hours in a year.
Analysis of official government data by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine estimates that over 1,300 people died a month in Accident & Emergency (A&E) departments last year because they were forced to wait too long for treatment. The 15,860 avoidable deaths over the course of 2025 is ten times higher than a decade earlier, and is said to be a result of British hospitals where overcrowding has been normalised.
I wonder what the rate is in Canada.
Jamie Sarkonak: New Brunswick’s plan to add an Indigenous tier of justice to the courts
The First Nations of New Brunswick are currently fighting for title to the entire province, but that hasn’t stopped the local legislature from offering up its courts for their use.
Last week, the N.B. Liberals tabled Bill 50, “An Act Respecting the Enforcement of First Nations Laws and the Prosecution of Offences under First Nations Laws.” It would designate New Brunswick courts as the place to enforce First Nations bylaws.
Surveillance drones deployment on US’s Great Lakes raises data collection fears
The Great Lakes have rarely ever been considered a hotbed of illicit drug activity or center for illegal immigration.
But that hasn’t stopped US government agencies and the company behind surveillance sailing drones from treating the region as such. The US Coast Guard recently announced it has launched an armada of at least six sailing drones in the Great Lakes this summer in an attempt to, in part, “track illicit activity”.
At 33ft long, Saildrone Inc’s Voyager surveillance vessels can operate for 100 days at a time without needing servicing. The California-headquartered company claims the drones can operate for months without refueling and can “track vessels across wide maritime regions”.
As Allies Tie China’s Police Ministry to Overseas Repression, RCMP Refuses to Name Its Partner Agency
OTTAWA — In January 2026, the RCMP signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), renewing a framework for police cooperation with the same arm of the Chinese state that prosecutors in two democracies have now tied, in open court, to the surveillance and intimidation of dissidents on foreign soil — and, in one of those jurisdictions, to a notorious triad. It is a development that corroborates recent United States Treasury sanctions and Washington Post reporting pointing to deepening ties between Beijing’s security services and transnational Chinese mafia proxies.
Billions in aid handed to terrorists and criminals
Terrorists, hostile states and gangsters have been given more than £28bn of taxpayers’ money, including through aid payments, according to a secret government report.
The Telegraph can reveal details of a dossier showing that billions of pounds went to organised crime, with millions going to Russia and Islamic State.
It demonstrates that foreign aid and Covid relief loans were appropriated on a vast scale by Britain’s enemies, with the money beyond reach and those who took it unpunished.
Bet that Canada was robbed blind as well.
Why families with small children are leaving Toronto and Montreal for Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa
Toronto and Montreal are embarking on a period of mass school closings, driven not by falling birth rates or changing political priorities but by a failure to build child-friendly homes.
They risk joining the ranks of Vancouver, where fewer than one in 25 residents is under the age of five. Communities begin losing schools when the number of students leaving a system exceeds the number entering, and the number of young children in a city is a key early warning indicator.
Trump’s latest Iran war prediction: US in ‘final throes’ of ‘very good strong, powerful deal’
TRUMP: ‘NO STICKING POINTS’: To hear President Donald Trump tell it, a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and bar Iran from ever having nuclear weapons is just days away. By one count, Trump has made similar statements more than three dozen times in the past few months. However, speaking to reporters at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York last night, Trump insisted negotiations were about to conclude with a “powerful deal.”
“We’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal that will not allow in any way, shape, or form nuclear weapons, et cetera,” Trump said after watching game three of the NBA Finals in New York. “And the Strait will open up right away. It’ll open up immediately upon signing, which could be in two or three days.”
