A Federal Court judge has given a former head constable with Pakistan's Punjab Police Service (PPS), who was ordered deported from Canada for making ‘a voluntary, significant and knowing contribution to the crimes against humanity’ committed by the notorious force, another chance to stay in Canada.

Sheryl Saperia: The Red–Green alliance and the lesson Iran is teaching the West again

22 janvier 2026 à 12:00
Iran has been roiling with protest. Across cities and provinces, Iranians have been risking their lives to challenge a clerical regime that has ruled through religious coercion, surveillance and fear for nearly half a century. The merchant classes — once regime loyalists — sparked the uprising that rapidly drew young women, workers, students, professionals and grandmothers into its ranks. Read More

Terry Newman: UBC profs push back against campus wokeism with ‘dangerous ideas’ course

22 janvier 2026 à 12:00
A new course you probably wouldn't expect to exist at a Canadian university just wrapped up. "Dangerous Ideas" invited students to tackle difficult and polarizing topics by debating both sides, and the students loved it — suggesting that they would rather examine and discuss ideas than be told that they're off-limits. Could this be the beginning of the end of wokeism in Canadian universities? Read More

Colby Cosh: Don’t worry, Carney hasn’t abandoned the Davos ethos

22 janvier 2026 à 12:00
The talk of the country today is Prime Minister Mark Carney’s state-of-the-globe stemwinder delivered to the World Economic Forum in Davos Tuesday. I think even the most generous critic would have to admit that this is partly a campaign speech meant for a Canadian audience: the PM is harvesting his globalist bona fides, and giving a somewhat convincing appearance of deep erudition — of being the kind of person who can create a sensation in Davos by means of ideas, rather than good looks and zany outfits.

Michael Taube: I’m a speechwriter. Carney did better than Trudeau at Davos. But that’s a low bar

22 janvier 2026 à 12:00
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Jan. 20 speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland received significant media attention. It was critical of U.S. President Donald Trump’s political agenda without directly saying so. Canada’s progressive commentators, and some conservative commentators, couldn’t contain their enthusiasm when the PM uttered lines like, “we know the old order is not coming back … we shouldn’t mourn it” and “we shouldn't allow the rise of hard power to blind us to the fact that the power of legitimacy, integrity and rules will remain strong, if we choose to wield them together.” Read More

Trump’s Davos speech, explained: From who calls him ‘Daddy’ to why ‘Iceland’ came up

22 janvier 2026 à 01:40
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a speech heavily aimed at a domestic audience and focused on America's economy, but which also made crucial reference to the many geopolitical storms that involve America today, from Greenland and Gaza to Venezuela and Ukraine. He said America is owed legal title to Greenland, though said he would not take it by force. He referred to the Russian president as "Vladimir," the French president as "Emmanuel," the former president of the Swiss Confederation as "a woman," and the NATO secretary-general as "Mark," and fondly remembered the time Mark Rutte called him "Daddy." He called Greenland "Iceland" a few times. It all stood in contrast to the speech on Tuesday by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — whom Trump also called "Mark," but in a less conciliatory manner — which quoted both the Ancient Greek historian Thucydides ("the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must") and the modern corporate aphorism that "if you are not at the table, you are on the menu," and was over in about 15 minutes with a standing ovation. Trump's was well over an hour. The National Post annotates some of the key portions of Trump's speech. Read More

‘You have to be very, very strong’: Freed October 7 hostage describes 491 days in captivity in new memoir

22 janvier 2026 à 00:13
After seeing phone messages and videos that kibbutzim were being ravaged on October 7, Eli Sharabi thought surrendering himself to Hamas terrorists would save his British-born wife and two daughters. Instead, he spent 491 days as a hostage in Gaza and, upon his release in February 2025, learned they had been murdered minutes after he was dragged from their Kibbutz Be’eri home. Read More
