Khalila Mohammed had a hell of a day on July 7, 2023. When an alleged drug-related robbery outside the Toronto supervised-injection clinic where she worked led to a shootout, in which an innocent passerby was killed, she decided to help the wounded alleged robber (who is not accused of firing a shot, but is charged with manslaughter): tending to his injuries; stashing away his bloody clothes; facilitating his fleeing the scene; advising him to lay low; and lying to police about what happened. She later pursued a romantic relationship with him. Read More

A doctor charged with giving Matthew Perry ketamine in the month leading up to the "Friends" star's overdose death will plead guilty, according to an agreement filed in court Monday. Read More

Monday must have been painful for President Donald J. Trump. On the tenth anniversary of his escalator descent from the gaudy heights of Trump Tower, he was confined to a modest conference table, one amongst the G7, in a Kananaskis, Alberta room decorated in modest alpine themes, rather than late-Saddam gilded baubles. By evening he was gone, back to Washington to preside over the Israel-Iran war. Given that his G7 counterparts are perpetually on tenterhooks should he launch an eruption, his early leave-taking was likely unlamented. Read More

HALIFAX, N.S. — A parole board hearing scheduled for June 18, will give a Nova Scotia convicted killer a chance to persuade members and the public that she is not the same person who admitted to packing twine in the trunk of her car in 2008 before murdering her 12-year-old daughter. Read More

Well, at least he didn’t walk out. While U.S. President Donald Trump left the G7 meeting in Kananaskis Monday night, it wasn’t in the huff the world witnessed at Charlevoix in 2018. This time, after a day of huddles and the signing of a U.K.–U.S. mini-deal that slashed auto tariffs, Trump hurried back to the White House because of “what’s going on in the Middle East.” His exit left Prime Minister Mark Carney and the remaining five leaders to hammer out the rest of the agenda, from trade to security to artificial intelligence, while keeping a nervous eye on the Iran-Israel war.  Read More

Mark Carney’s election platform did not include giving himself the power to suspend the entirety of federal law and, by extension, democracy. But that’s what he aims to do with Bill C-5, which he hopes to ram through by Canada Day. Read More

Emergency departments are seeing a spike in visits owing to a once unusual, highly unpleasant and, in rare cases, potentially life-threatening side effect of chronic cannabis use: severe bouts of vomiting lasting hours, even days. Read More

A direct military confrontation between Israel and Iran has been decades in the making, but some in the media are naively trying to make the case that the Islamic Republic didn't pose much of a threat to the Jewish state. Read More

The United States Supreme Court is seen to be sharply divided between conservative and liberal jurists so it is noteworthy when it speaks with one voice. In Ames v. Ohio, liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote a unanimous decision that is viewed by some as resetting the diversity, equity and inclusion debate. Read More

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s surprise pledge to meet NATO’s defence spending target is long overdue, but without real reform, leadership and a shift away from bureaucracy and social experimentation, it risks falling short of what the moment demands. Read More

Peel Regional Police said more than $4.2 million in assets were seized and 18 people were arrested, including two men alleged to be the bosses behind a network involved in two streams of criminality: one dedicated to extortion and violence, and the other to systematic fraud through staged car collisions rooted in the towing industry.

It used to be that my agenda contained reminders of upcoming events like lunches, bridge games or concerts at Place-des-Arts, but no more. Nowadays I see reminders of upcoming medical appointments, food or pharmacy deliveries and other health-related items. From head to toe, each part of me seems to be clamouring for attention. Here are some of them. Read More

It’s a bright spring morning at Nuestra coffee shop on Edmonton’s north side.

A U.S. man who accidentally crossed the border into Canada was arrested when he turned around and came back after authorities found 78 pounds of illegal marijuana in his supposedly empty vehicle. Read More

The last federal election was not an honest conversation about Canada’s place in the world. It was a performance — slick, poll-tested, and ultimately hollow. Mark Carney presented himself as a principled adversary to Donald Trump, a steward of Canadian sovereignty who would stand up to a dangerous and unpredictable United States. And now, just months into his premiership, he insists “the G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership,” his government has resisted retaliating against American tariffs, and has even expressed desire to join Trump's Golden Dome missile defence program.

Ordering a "proffee" at your local café may still elicit quizzical looks, but protein coffee is gaining momentum. In March, Tim Hortons launched a new range of high-protein dairy beverages, including a latte containing 20 grams of the nutrient in a medium-sized cup. Now, Starbucks is entering the fray. The coffee giant announced at a leadership conference in Las Vegas on June 10 that it's testing protein coffee at select locations in the United States. Read More

I don’t know if Canadians have the interest or the patience to submit themselves yet another time to another chapter of the interminable saga of the conflict that I have been embroiled in for what seems like forever with the relatively newly renamed Ontario College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts. I know I’m sick and tired of the whole affair, having moved out of the country in no small part in consequence of the prejudice, ideologically-motivated shenanigans, false morality and petty power mongering of that august body.

There are many lingering questions about the two-day killing spree by Gabriel Wortman that killed 22 people in Nova Scotia in 2020, even after a joint federal/provincial commission wrapped up its inquiry. Investigative journalist Paul Palango joins Brian Lilley to discuss why he thinks all signs point to the RCMP covering up that Wortman was working undercover for them before his rampage, as he alleges in his new book, Anatomy of a Cover-Up. He suggests it’s why police did nothing about reports that Wortman had illegal guns, and why the story of Wortman’s eventual killing by cop, and the account of his girlfriend, don’t line up with the evidence. If he’s right, then Canadians have been fed a lot of stories by officials — and we finally deserve the truth. (Recorded June 12, 2025.) Read More

The University of Saskatchewan’s law school allows some of its Indigenous students to take more time on exams for the purpose of “equity.” So, when this blew up into a faculty controversy in 2022, with proponents of the benefit aghast that anyone would ever question the idea as others quietly made their concerns known to student leaders, one member of the law school tried to make peace between the factions — only to be punished by the university for his efforts.

British Columbia's transportation minister claimed Friday that buying new ferries from European shipyards would have cost roughly $1.2 billion more than buying them from a Chinese government-owned shipyard in Weihai, Shandong province, which is a city roughly the size of Montreal that I had never heard of until this week. China knows how to build cities. They burst into existence from nothing, like popcorn. China also knows how to build ships, and highways, and high-speed rail, and just about anything else you would care to name, better and more efficiently than the Canadian public service can realistically comprehend.

President Donald Trump arrives in Canada as the center of attention for a Group of Seven summit of world leaders whose main purpose will be to mollify him — and one where spiralling conflict in the Middle East offers another test of its unity. Read More

The grand military parade that President Donald Trump had been wanting for years barreled down Constitution Avenue on Saturday with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute, playing out against a counterpoint of protests around the country by those who decried the U.S. leader as a dictator and would-be king.

Stephen Buffalo is a very constructive guy. He's a man who seeks solutions, and he's open to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ambitious nation-building campaign. He also wants Carney and all Canadians to understand, though: Indigenous consent to these projects has a price tag. Read More

No one knows how the second Trump administration will ultimately turn out for the U.S. and for the wider world. Perhaps it will end with foreign dictators humbled, America resurgent, and the long march of the left through the institutions finally in reverse. But so far, the new Trump ascendancy could easily leave conservatism discredited. Certainly, it’s already been a key factor in the defeat of conservative parties in Canada and Australia. Hence the question: how should conservative political parties respond to the Trump phenomenon in order to keep their character while maximizing their chances of electoral success? Read More

Walking down a beautiful corniche walkway along Mediterranean in Jaffa district not far from downtown Tel Aviv, criss-crossing my way amidst evening joggers and jovial teenagers, I suddenly froze, as I heard sound of Azan — an Islamic call to prayer — blaring from a nearby mosque. None from my group of visiting Canadian journalists took much notice, as few of them have already been to Israel, but for me, it was a shocker. I live in Canada, where religious freedoms are guaranteed and enshrined, but I never heard Azan blaring from loudspeakers here, or in Europe or the United States, even though there are mosques, churches, synagogues, temples that remain busy throughout the year there.

It is irritating and distressing to see Canada robotically following the British and French and two other countries in imposing sanctions on two Israeli cabinet ministers over their comments related to the West Bank. It is also annoying that our new prime minister, who squeaked to a minority victory through a histrionic imposture of a modern Churchill against Donald Trump's Hitler, trying to reconcile the extreme green zealotry of a lifetime with absolute commercial and political necessity, offers nonsense about "decarbonized" oil. Their Canadian and Britannic Majesties the King and Queen were recently dragooned into making a 24-hour visit to this realm to read the prime minister's platitudinous throne speech, ritualistically beginning with what amounts to a false acknowledgment that we are occupiers of another people’s land. The king was allowed to present this fake confession of stealing the country from the then 200,000 indigenous people, almost all of them nomads, as “shared history as a nation,” (like the shared experiences of Poland, Germany, and the USSR from 1939 to 1945). We shout defiance at the Americans for reducing their trade deficit but prevail upon the King to tell us that we have no right to be here. Read More
