Politics in Canada has become a theatre of appearances. Parties wear names that suggest one thing while practicing another. The Liberal Party still wraps itself in the language of freedom, dignity, responsibility, and the rule of law. The Conservative Party still speaks as though it stands for restraint, continuity, prudence, and smaller government. The New Democratic Party (NDP) still tries to present itself as the voice of the average person. Yet when these labels are tested against conduct, what emerges is not a clean contest between opposing principles, but a set of rival machines operating inside the same broad government system, each asking the public to judge by appearance rather than by result.
The colonel, one of a two-man crew of an F-15E Strike Eagle shot down by an Iranian shoulder-launched missile, had spent two days trying to conceal his location from enemy search parties, while letting his would-be rescuers know where he was.
Apart from intermittent radio contact, all he had was his personal “come-and-get-me” beacon signal. And he dared switch that on only occasionally, for the Iranians would surely be monitoring the conventional means of rescuing him.
After several opposition MPs crossed the floor to join the governing Liberals in recent months, some of those MPs’ constituents are now expressing distrust in the country’s democratic system.
Toronto-area MP Michael Ma’s office has been the site of regular protests following his decision to leave the Conservatives to join the Liberals in December 2025. Most recently, after Ontario MP Marilyn Gladu crossed the floor on April 8, protesters gathered at her office shortly afterward with signs reading, “I voted Conservative, not Liberal,” and “Your vote doesn’t matter.”
More than 21,000 migrants have crossed the Channel to Britain in seven months, while fewer than 500 have been sent back under a flagship returns deal with France.
The stark imbalance has piled pressure on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to rethink the “one-in, one-out” scheme, which was designed to deter small boat crossings by returning arrivals to France in exchange for accepting a limited number via legal routes.
A recent investigation has shaken one of Quebec’s most iconic industries.
Authorities are examining allegations that maple syrup sold in grocery stores —linked to a Quebec producer — may have been adulterated with cheaper sugars while still being marketed as pure.
Products have been pulled, regulators are involved and Canadians are left asking a familiar question: How did this go unnoticed?

When the University of B.C. hired left-wing activists Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein as faculty, Canada’s second-largest post-secondary institution took a firm position on a polarizing discussion over whether academics should openly advocate political causes.
Against opinion polls showing three in four Canadians believe political ideology should be kept out of universities, five years ago UBC hired filmmaker Lewis — who was elected leader of the federal NDP on March 29 — and well-known climate activist Klein.
National confidence, unfortunately, is in short supply these days. In this season of springtime renewal, Americans would do well to look up — literally. Artemis II, NASA’s first meaningful manned space mission in over a half-century, has taken the nation by storm this month. In so doing, it has provided a timely reminder of what a great nation, acting with confidence and clarity of purpose, can still achieve.
TORONTO — A convicted sex offender who sexually assaulted a child student has been operating as a prominent organizer in the federal Liberal by-election campaign in Scarborough Southwest, promoting candidate Doly Begum to Prime Minister Mark Carney at a campaign event featured on CBC National News, appearing repeatedly at her side from the campaign’s launch through advance voting week, arranging transportation to the polls for voters, and attending community events alongside Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree — with no indication the Liberal Party of Canada vetted his criminal record.

SAN FRANCISCO — Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company valued at $380 billion, can take its pick of Silicon Valley talent thanks to the success of its chatbot Claude. But last month, the start-up sought help from a group rarely consulted in tech circles: Christian religious leaders.
The company hosted about 15 Christian leaders from Catholic and Protestant churches, academia and the business world at its headquarters in late March for a two-day summit that included discussion sessions and a private dinner with senior Anthropic researchers, according to four participants who spoke with The Washington Post.
A nail-biting Quebec by-election that was supposed to make or break the Liberals’ hopes of a majority government now looks more like a test of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s popularity in a part of the country not given to displays of Canadian unity.
The game has changed since Mr. Carney called the by-election in Terrebonne last month, after the Supreme Court of Canada annulled last year’s federal election result in the former Bloc Québécois stronghold, which the Liberals had won by a single ballot.
Two recent floor-crossings have lowered the stakes for Mr. Carney, whose caucus is now just one seat shy of the 172 he needs to form a majority. On Monday, two Toronto-area by-elections in safe Liberal ridings will likely put him over the top. Terrebonne, an off-island suburb north of Montreal where the Liberal majority appeared to hang in the balance, now seems like a bonus.
New York may be the greatest city on Earth – but don’t count its mayor, Zohran Mamdani, among its fans.
According to Mamdani, New York City is little more than a cesspit of racism and white supremacy, and has been ever since it was stumbled upon by the Dutch in the 17th century. ‘New York’s history has been one of colonisation, exploitation and racial oppression’, states the mayor’s recently released Citywide Racial Equity Plan. The city’s ‘racial inequalities’, it asserts, are ‘rooted in our 400-year history’, beginning with the European settlement of New Amsterdam in 1624 and continuing unabated until, we can only suppose, Mamdani’s election as mayor in November.
During Easter and Passover, heavily armed police officers were deployed to guard places of religious worship in Toronto. Those are not the traits of a high-trust society, and there are many more pointing to the further barbarization of our country.
Another historic church property in Miramichi was torched over the same Easter Weekend.
