Shares of Canadian jet maker Bombardier Inc. fell as much as 7% before paring some of those losses, after President Donald Trump sent a social media post suggesting the company should be blocked from US sales.
“NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES!” Trump wrote on Monday. “If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank.’”
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have attacked four cities in Saudi Arabia, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a significant expansion of the Middle East war.
Saudi Arabia said it would retaliate after the overnight strikes – reportedly involving dozens of drones and missiles – that targeted several oil facilities in the country’s south.
Three men convicted in the brutal murders of two Abbotsford seniors are challenging how long they should serve in prison before being considered for parole under the so-called faint hope clause.
“The faint hope clause makes no sense to me. It’s ridiculous,” said Brian Barthel, the son-in-law of victims Arnold and Joanne De Jong.
Kushveer Toor, Abhijeet Singh and Gurkaran Singh were convicted earlier this year in the 2022 first-degree murders of the De Jongs, who were attacked during a home invasion.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was directly warned by the president of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning a major offensive just days before the militant group led an attack on Oct. 7, 2023 , according to an Israeli newspaper.
U.A.E. President Mohammed bin Zayed spoke with Netanyahu 10 days before the attack and said Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza at the time, was planning an operation, the Haaretz daily said.
A 22-year-old man who allegedly robbed several businesses in Brampton at knifepoint has been arrested.
Brampton resident Teepinder Singh Ghuman was identified as a suspect and arrested on Aug. 29.
A top European Union court ruled in favor of Ikea on Tuesday in a challenge brought by the company against Belgian far-right and Flemish separatist party Vlaams Belang.
The popular Swedish brand may prevent the Belgian party from using its signature illustrations. Vlaams Belang launched the “Ikea Plan” in 2022, a proposal to reform the country’s migration and asylum laws.
The plan included images similar to Ikea’s furniture assembly instructions. Ikea filed a legal complaint in 2023, accusing the far-right party of unlawfully using its branding.

Over the past two weeks, Jim Coudal has been rushing orders to Canadian retailers from his Chicago warehouse ahead of new retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products.
Starting Sept. 8, Coudal’s company, Field Notes, which makes small pocket notebooks and memo books, will face a 50 per cent tariff when its products enter Canada, where they are sold by retailers including Toronto Pen Shoppe and Take Note Pens & Stationery Store.
U.S. military officials have seen a 75% decline in Mexican drone sightings at the U.S.-Mexico border in the two weeks since debuting a high-energy laser weapon system to disable the small unmanned aerial systems, according to a new report.
Military stationed at the border in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas used a new type of technology on Aug. 25 and 26 to take down three suspicious drones in U.S. airspace, likely operated by the cartels on the south side of the international border.
As NDP MPs meet in Toronto for their fall caucus retreat, the party is still in rough shape politically and financially.
Federal New Democrats are digging themselves out of their election debt. Their leader still doesn’t have a seat in the House of Commons. And their tiny caucus enters the fall Parliamentary sitting even smaller, after one MP joined the Liberals and another left.
But that’s the one-sided view of the party held by those in the Ottawa political bubble, as NDP Leader Avi Lewis often likes to say. He and others say the New Democrat movement is ripe for a revival — and they think the city of Toronto offers a path forward.

The European Union and Canada are working toward a new, all-encompassing relationship that will range from trade to security, as the transatlantic partners seek to build a new alliance to offset the global power politics dominated by the US and China.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the top executive of the EU, is expected to announce the plans at her state of the union address in Strasbourg, France, Sept. 16, according to people familiar with the preparations. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the speech then address European lawmakers the following day.

LONDON — Britain will ban the import of goods made in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, according to a person familiar with the policy deliberations, and possibly impose sanctions on companies involved in an accelerating building boom in the communities, which are considered illegal by much of the international community.
The moves, expected to be announced Tuesday by Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, mark the starkest break yet from the U.K.’s traditional role as a staunch supporter of Israel and show how Israel’s actions in the West Bank and its war in Gaza are straining long-standing alliances.
Update – Canada joins Europeans in pledging ban of Israeli settlement goods
Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on a range of US goods came into effect on Tuesday, with no sign of a trade deal on the horizon.
The counter-tariffs will apply to nearly C$28bn ($20bn; £15bn) worth of American products, from steel to furniture to cotton T-shirts, and will be as high as 50%.
Fresh fish and lobster were also on the list, but Canada later omitted them after pushback from its seafood industry – a sign of the tricky balance it has to strike as it retaliates against its largest trading partner.
Both US and Canadian officials have said they would like to strike a deal, but no movement has been made to resume talks after they collapsed in late August.
Just a few days ago, Daniel “Tommo” Thomas let a group of fellow far-right sympathisers in the north-west of England into a secret. “Groups of men all across the United Kingdom are joining up as one, as one group of resistance,” said Thomas, who served a prison sentence for attempted kidnapping and is a former bodyguard to Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. “Something is about to go down and it is about to send a fucking shock wave. What is the end goal of all of this? It is to start something that will then snowball. Once we pull this off it will then snowball across the country.”
Imagine that. The illegal alien horde boats set off from Normandy.
This is the moment @RealDannyTommo gets the info of the invasion of Portsmouth and runs to the sea to block it, encouraging help as he goes.
Upon arrival the traitors of Britain had a whole set up to bring the invaders in!
Well done Danny and all involved stand up for the UK.…

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is warning Canadians that the country’s pivot away from the United States will come at a cost, but that the alternative would be far worse.
In a national video address set to be released Tuesday — hours after Canada’s retaliatory tariffs kicked in — Carney reiterated Canada’s plan to respond to the U.S. trade war by striking new trade deals with other countries to become less reliant on the U.S
Carney feels your pain. And he wishes more for you.
Carney: “This is about who we are as Canadians. It’s about our livelihoods and the country we leave to our kids. Adversity only makes us stronger. It always has. We are maîtres chez nous.” pic.twitter.com/L2u0vII0hz
