The past few months have not been good for left-wing entertainment, with self-inflicted injuries tearing down successful and prominent figures and shows in the public consciousness.
One such self-inflicted wound involved Amazon’s hit show The Boys, a cynical take on superheroes that quickly became one of the biggest shows in popular culture. Early on, the show satirized politics, corporations, celebrities, and, yes, social justice movements. It was clever, graphic, and undoubtedly a hit.
OTTAWA — Just as Prime Minister Mark Carney touches down in Paris to begin another overseas trip, newly released documents show the Department of National Defence spent nearly $ 1 million on in-flight catering aboard CANFORCE ONE during the PM’s first 12 months in office — but questions remain on the accuracy of those numbers.
A deal to end fighting between the US and Iran is “scheduled to get signed” on Sunday, US President Donald Trump has said – but Iran has cast doubt on the timing.
In a post on social media, Trump also said the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, would be “open to all” following the deal.
Earlier Pakistan, a key mediator, said finalisation of the deal was expected within 24 hours and they were “preparing for the electronic signing”.
By now, it’s clear the Carney government’s approach to economic development amounts to an all-in bet on industrial policy, a fad that has picked up steam globally. The thinking goes like this: the state chooses the right sectors and firms, directs capital and support to them, and builds a stronger economy from the top down. But a popular idea isn’t necessarily a good one.
Ottawa is betting big regardless.
The US military has killed a leader in the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, with the help of Venezuela, Donald Trump announced on Friday.
“At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Canada’s planned purchase of the Saab GlobalEye surveillance jet faces significant political and technical hurdles if the aircraft is going to be fully integrated into NORAD.
Much of the success or failure of the effort will depend on convincing the Trump administration and the Pentagon to share a key piece of technology that allows fighter jets and early warning systems to communicate while maintaining stealth.
Experts doubt the United States will allow a high-tech data link used exclusively on F-35 fighters to be installed on either the early warning aircraft or the Gripen-E — if Canada chooses to buy that warplane.
The world is applauding the latest Chinese vehicles and sales are surging almost everywhere the cars are available. The one exception: China itself.
New-car sales in China, the world’s largest new-vehicle market, fell 22% in May compared with the same month a year earlier to around 1.5 million vehicles. That was the eighth straight month of year-over-year declines, according to the China Passenger Car Association. Year-to-date car sales are running nearly 20% below last year, hitting profits at the country’s leading carmakers.
Authorities believe the 19-year-old who allegedly killed a Toronto police officer this week had been working for a gun-for-hire network that’s suspected in some of the city’s most notorious violence of recent years, sources say.
The network is believed to be linked to an attack on the U.S. consulate, the GTA tow-truck wars and a set of shootings targeting waste management empire GFL Environmental, the Star has learned.
Nothing to do with Islam. Could just as easily been disgruntled Christadelphians.
Ghoulish internet trolls are editing photos of themselves so they appear to be urinating on Austin Metcalf’s grave — in a twisted act of solidarity with the Texas teen’s killer, Karmelo Anthony.
Numerous photos showing the despicable act surfaced on social media this week after 19-year-old Anthony was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder in the 2025 stabbing, with some of the photos tagged with the likes of “#FreeKarmeloAnthony,” “#AustinMetcalf” and even “#F–kEm.”
Boris Pistorius doesn’t look like a man prone to alarmism.
Germany’s defence minister is frank and plain-spoken, but also deliberate with his words and intention.
When he talks about Russia, the future of the West and the possibility of another European war, the message however becomes stark: “Our experts say it can happen in 2029.”
Wait. What? That’s three years from now.
A new documentary by American YouTuber Tyler Oliveira has attracted significant attention online for its portrayal of Brussels as a city transformed by mass immigration, rising crime, and growing integration tensions.
Oliveira, who has built a large online audience through documentaries exploring crime, social tensions, and political controversies around the world, examined life in the Belgian capital in a documentary that runs more than 40 minutes.

On Wednesday, the Liberals tabled Bill C-34, which would restrict minors from social media. That’s the headline pitch, but the bill goes much further, offering cabinet the power to ban children from online games, shut online entities out of Canada completely and order websites to censor content deemed “harmful” by the government. It’s a Great Canadian Firewall in the making.
China has been using ChatGPT to sow unrest in the US, generating fake images and cartoons in an effort to turn Americans against AI.
OpenAI said a “cluster” of accounts based in China had been manipulating its ChatGPT bot to run “covert influence operations” targeting US voters with anti-AI messaging.
It said the fraudulent accounts, which were based in China but masked their true location, created memes and pictures that aimed to “amplify divisions or exacerbate public distrust”, with the AI-generated images shared on X.
Interesting. @fancypants_s https://t.co/JFCQrrgcZM
