Shooters-for-hire network in Toronto shows a new front in the fight against terror financing
Toronto’s police chief recently described a pattern that should unsettle anyone who saw the recent shootings at synagogues, Jewish schools and the U.S. consulate as unrelated hate crimes. Police say a network of criminals-for-hire has been linked to 27 firearm discharges across the city – recruiting young adults online, paying them to fire on the exterior of a chosen building, and requiring a video of the act before any money is released.
Green Fiasco: Asbestos Discovered in 1,000 UK Wind Turbines Imported from China

Trump administration growing impatient with Canada’s delayed F-35 choice
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Washington is signalling growing impatience with Ottawa’s delays on its F-35 purchase and broader defence reset.
U.S. defence officials applauded Canada’s 2022 selection of Lockheed Martin’s stealth fighter, and the plan to buy 88 of the U.S.-made jets, but political debate and shifting priorities have left only 30 under contract so far.
‘MIGA: Making Iran’s Regime Great Again’: Why Many Arabs Vehemently Oppose Trump’s MOU
The prevailing narrative in much of the Western media is that opposition to US President Donald J. Trump’s new agreement with Iran comes primarily from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters.
This narrative is false.
Quebec town recognizes trees as living beings with rights
A small town west of Montreal has decided to officially recognize trees as living beings with rights of their own, in what an environmental organization describes as a first in Quebec and Canada.
A resolution adopted by Terrasse-Vaudreuil city council on June 9 declares that trees are worthy of protection, “including the right to life, to natural growth, to integrity and to regeneration.”
Mayor Michel Bourdeau says Quebec filmmaker André Desrochers inspired the community to take action.
Alan Greenspan, longtime head of the US federal reserve, dies aged 100
Alan Greenspan, the influential economist who steered US monetary policy during his five terms as chair of the Federal Reserve under four presidents, has died aged 100.
The central bank said its former chair “helped establish the credibility that remains one of the Federal Reserve’s most important assets” in a statement on Monday that announced Greenspan’s death.
In a separate statement that she shared with NBC News, Andrea Mitchell – Greenspan’s wife and a correspondent of the network – said he died from complications of Parkinson’s disease. “He will be remembered for his brilliance and his kindness,” Mitchell’s statement to NBC said.
Inflation jumps to 3.2% in May thanks to higher gas prices: StatCan
A third straight month of rising gas prices from the war in Iran pushed the annual rate of inflation above three per cent for the first time since 2023, Statistics Canada said Monday.
The annual rate of inflation jumped to 3.2 per cent in May, up from 2.8 per cent in April and topping most economists’ expectations.
Gas prices up? Blame Trump.
Adam Schiff Now Concedes Trump DOJ May Have Case Against Newsom
There’s this old saying about rats leaving a sinking ship…
Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is now admitting that there may be some fire underneath all of the smoke surrounding California’s impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin Newsom. This is one of the most remarkable admissions of the obvious since a certain little kid pointed out that the emperor was, in fact, parading around in his birthday suit. The Senator is now admitting that there may be something to the Trump administration’s investigation into his state’s governor.
I really hate this guy.
Patrice Dutil: Champlain statue removal an embarrassment for the country
The forces of historical ignorance and vandalism have once again struck in Ontario. This time, the freshly spray-painted statue of Samuel de Champlain, inaugurated in Orillia in 1925 in honour of the 300th anniversary of his visit to the area in 1615 has been removed, even though most people apparently want it kept in place.
Vance says Iran agrees to nuclear inspections, as under Obama deal
Vice President JD Vance said Iran agreed to allow international inspections of its nuclear program, which would restore a safeguard from President Barack Obama’s deal with Tehran that President Donald Trump threw out.
“That is a major milestone for the American people, and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran,” Vance said Monday at a news conference at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland. U.S. and Iranian officials are working with mediators from Qatar and Pakistan to turn last week’s fragile ceasefire into a more comprehensive peace agreement. Vance said he would return home soon as technical talks moved forward.
Anand won’t say if Chinese EVs will be banned under Canada’s forced labour law
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand refused to say whether Chinese-made electric vehicles could be banned under new federal legislation targeting products linked to forced labour, despite evidence that some Chinese auto supply chains rely on materials connected to Uyghur labour camps.
