Poll: UFO news coverage is increasing Americans’ belief in aliens, especially Gen Z

Poll: UFO news coverage is increasing Americans’ belief in aliens, especially Gen Z

Our survey of 2,000 Americans asked people whether recent UFO or UAP news coverage has changed their opinion on the topic and found that 37% now believe more than they used to.

More than half (54%) say their opinion on extraterrestrials has not changed and 10% say it’s actually made them believe less, according to the research findings.

News coverage on UFOs or UAPs seems more likely to move younger generations towards belief — 54% of Gen Z have increased their belief due to recent news stories, with the impact falling with age.

Christopher Dummitt: Canada has its own academic fakery problem

Christopher Dummitt: Canada has its own academic fakery problem

Canada has its own Jason Ardays — our versions of the Black British academic who recently committed suicide after it was revealed that he plagiarized much of his academic work and invented a fabulist version of his personal history.

The Canadian versions might not be as outlandish — but they almost certainly exist. The system incentivizes their creation.

Ministers have finally admitted the unsayable about illegal immigration

Ministers have finally admitted the unsayable about illegal immigration

In the build-up to the 2024 Tory leadership election, Kemi Badenoch declared that ‘not all cultures are equal’. Her argument – that we can be a thriving multi-ethnic nation while expecting everyone to adhere to British cultural values – was met with fury. For some of Badenoch’s critics, the mere suggestion that certain foreign value systems are inferior to those of a western liberal democracy was beyond the pale. All the usual buzzwords were deployed: racist, fascist, far-right. Labour MP Dawn Butler shared a social media post deriding the Tory leader as ‘white supremacy in blackface’.

Right-leaning Canadians are losing trust in Canada’s electoral process, study finds

Right-leaning Canadians are losing trust in Canada’s electoral process, study finds

Right-leaning Canadians’ trust in the bodies that manage Canadian elections has declined significantly since 2019, a McGill-led research team has found.

Their research draws on data collected between 2008 to 2021 by the Canadian Election Study (with about 72,000 respondents), as well as information gathered by the Media Ecosystem Observatory after the 2021 Canadian federal election (with nearly 3,000 respondents) and the Quebec election of 2022 (with approximately 1,500 respondents).

Gender Surgery for Minors Faces a Legal Reckoning

Gender Surgery for Minors Faces a Legal Reckoning

Last year, a federal court in Washington State ruled that Premera Blue Cross unlawfully discriminated when it refused to cover elective double mastectomies for two young girls. The decision read like a harsh warning to every employer: exclude gender-transition procedures for children from your health plan and risk an Affordable Care Act discrimination claim. But the story doesn’t end there.

In July 2026, the United States filed a brief urging the Ninth Circuit to reject that court’s misguided reasoning.

Amy Hamm: Transgender health care authorities can’t stifle debate anymore

Amy Hamm: Transgender health care authorities can’t stifle debate anymore

One of the world’s loudest and most successful cheerleaders for gender ideology has been forced into a tactical retreat in an ongoing U.S. court case.

Anyone mildly familiar with the controversy over “gender affirming” care will be aware that proponents for this medical scandal have insisted that there is to be no debate on trans health care — and that debate is not only tantamount to heresy, but could end the lives or very existence of transgender identified persons. Critics are often met with the refrain, “the science is settled,” when they ask questions about the wisdom or safety of transitioning gender-confused minors.

Why the silence over Ceuta’s sexual-abuse crisis?

Why the silence over Ceuta’s sexual-abuse crisis?

It has been almost three weeks since more than 72,000 migrants invaded Ceuta. Since then, the Spanish government has tried to reassure the world that most of those who entered the territory illegally have now returned to Morocco and order has been restored. But as growing reports of women and girls being sexually assaulted make clear, this is far from the case.

JAY GOLDBERG: Ontario taxpayers foot the bill as transit costs spiral out of control

At a time when government debt is soaring across the country, it’s time for Canadians to demand that politicians be upfront about the cost of big projects before moving forward with them.

Last week, it was reported that the Ford government’s Ontario Line, a 15.6-kilometre rapid transit project set to run through the heart of Toronto, will cost at least $34 billion.

CHARLEBOIS: Canadians paid dairy farmers for competition consumers never got

CHARLEBOIS: Canadians paid dairy farmers for competition consumers never got

Canada and the United States are once again negotiating under the threat of tariffs. Washington has temporarily postponed a proposed 50% tariff on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods while the two countries attempt to finalize a broader trade arrangement.

Dairy access, along with American alcohol sales in Canada, has emerged as a central U.S. grievance. The threatened tariffs are excessive, and their legal justification is debatable. But Ottawa cannot dismiss every American complaint as protectionist fiction. On dairy, Washington is asking Canada to demonstrate that the market access it promised when CUSMA took effect in 2020 is real.
