Reform UK councillors in Birmingham have called for council meetings to be conducted only in English after an Islamic prayer was read aloud in Arabic during a mayoral ceremony in the city.
Newly-appointed Lord Mayor Zaker Choudhry invited imam Muhammad Abdali to recite a verse from the Koran in Arabic as he was sworn in. The verse was later repeated in English.
Should the Liberal government decide to go with the ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) bid, the German shipbuilder has now pledged to deliver four Type 212-CD submarines to the Canadian Navy by 2036, the country’s defence minister tells CBC News.
Boris Pistorius said Wednesday that he has every confidence that the company will meet the delivery goal, which emerged early on as one of the major competitive differences between TKMS and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean shipyard.
US President Donald Trump has said he is “not satisfied” yet with the terms of the deal being negotiated with Iran.
He said Tehran was “very much intent” on reaching an agreement to end the conflict, but added “so far they haven’t gotten there”, repeating Washington’s willingness to resume strikes if one is not reached.
His remarks came after Iranian state TV reported what it said were details of a draft agreement, which included reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the withdrawal of US forces from the region.
Wilfrid Laurier University professor David Haskell says proposed legislation that removes religious exemption to hate speech laws would be detrimental to the rights of Christians in Canada, which he argues are already under sustained attack.
Haskell’s comments came during a recent hearing on Bill C-9 before the Senate committee on human rights, and were joined by criticisms from several other expert witnesses who said the bill is too vague to effectively counter hateful incidents or so open to interpretation that it risks infringing on basic civil liberties.
“If this Criminal Code protection is removed, it will be open season on Christians, as ideological opponents increasingly claim [Christians’] beliefs harm society,” Haskell told senators, adding that “it will lead to even more discrimination against Christians in Canada and negatively affect the social good they contribute.”
Several people have been stabbed by a man wielding a knife at a Swiss train station.
Police cordoned off the area of the attack at the Winterthur station, 12 miles outside of Zurich.
At least four people were stabbed by the man wielding a knife who witnesses said was shouting Allahu Akbar, according to local reports.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and his entourage billed taxpayers $195,400 for gourmet in-flight meals during three international trips in 2025, according to records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
The documents show Carney’s flights to London, Rome and Brussels featured luxury meals including veal escalope, beef tenderloin with bordelaise sauce, Scottish salmon fillet and “slow simmered beef with red wine reduction sauce.”

As prices for just about everything skyrocket and an untold number of Canadians are going deeper into debt trying to keep up, the Fraser Institute’s latest study is a reminder that Canada and the provinces have been hurdling their own roads of indebtedness since the 2008 recession.
In its latest research bulletin on the growing debt burden for Canadians, the public policy organization found that the combined federal and provincial net debt, adjusted for inflation, has nearly doubled from $1.24 trillion in 2007-08 to a projected $2.44 trillion this fiscal year, a growth of 97.7 per cent.
The Texas leftist who campaigned on turning an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility into a prison and castration factory for “American Zionists” lost her bid Tuesday to represent the Lone Star State’s 35th Congressional District.
FIGURES published last Thursday showing that both net immigration and asylum claims are falling ‘are being used by Sir Keir Starmer to prove he’s turning things around and delivering for Britain’, the Telegraph reported.
People are not so easily taken in, however. The net migration figure of 171,000 last year – trumpeted as the lowest since 2012, and down from nearly a million in the year to 2023 – is created by taking away the number of people who left Great Britain from those who arrived. The figure that is not trumpeted is the roughly 246,000 British nationals who leave the UK each year to live abroad, of whom the latest stats show only about 110,000 return to the UK annually. This widening gap results in a net loss of more than 130,000 British a year and confirms that many are establishing lives overseas rather than coming back. Increasingly it is white, young and skilled Britons who are fleeing, as we reported at the beginning of the year. For the 12 months ending June 2025, 693,000 people left Britain, an increase of 40 per cent on 2022. Of those leaving, 230,000 were British nationals under 45 years of age.
As ‘safe spaces’ on Western university campuses continue to multiply, it has become clear that institutions designed to defend free thought are now breeding grounds for illiberal conformism. Higher education no longer trains students to grapple with dissent. It teaches them to avoid intellectual conflict at all costs.
In March, Australia’s ruling Labor regime censured Senator Pauline Hanson for opposing bringing ISIS members to Australia. According to the senate censure resolution, Hanson’s “inflammatory and divisive comments seeking to vilify Muslim Australians, which do not reflect the opinions of the Australian Senate or the Australian people” who are supposed to love ISIS.
Bärbel Bas is a particularly abrasive Social Democrat and one of the most disturbing personalities in German politics. Her every public appearance provokes in me a visceral, almost ancestral disgust. Bas is also Labour Minister in Merz’s horrible cabinet, which is probably a good thing because I can’t be the only person who finds her a reprehensible hag. Without Bas, the Government would surely have substantially higher approval ratings.
It’s been exactly five years since the shocking accusation that the remains of 215 students had been discovered on the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, which triggered a wave of church arsons, starting in British Columbia and spreading like wildfire across the country. While the spike has abated, churches are still burning, and almost nothing has changed. Worse, it’s not even clear that the hate directed towards churches is fuelled only by the Kamloops announcement.
