PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour rewound to 2023 on Friday as she welcomed author Giridharadas to promote his new book on the Daniel Penny case. According to Giridharadas, the case represented a cautionary tale of what happens when people develop a “sense of desertion” that they feel forces them to take matters into their own hands, which is also why some people on the left support Luigi Mangione. The fact that the two cases are wildly different was of no consequence to Amanpour or Giridharadas.
The federal and provincial governments bet billions on the rapid rise of the electric vehicle industry. But major EV and battery projects in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia have since been delayed, cancelled, suspended, substantially changed — and in one case, gone bankrupt — as automakers and suppliers adjust to weaker-than-anticipated demand.
The latest is Volkswagen’s massive PowerCo battery plant in St. Thomas, Ont., where production has been pushed back two years to 2029, because of “evolving market demand.”
It was too much period.
Dear DSA:
You and I — are we really so different? Why, I think not! We both live on planet earth, and… well, I’m sure we have lots of other stuff in common, too.
Enough to build a friendship.
OTTAWA — Stephen Harper is warning Albertans against setting the province on a path toward secession by using their votes in an upcoming referendum in an attempt to send Ottawa a message.
In an essay published Friday in the Calgary Herald, Harper also expressed optimism over how he sees the Liberals under Prime Minister Mark Carney turning a page from the “anti-Alberta” policies of Carney’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau.
“As a former prime minister of Canada, staying silent on the upcoming referendum on Alberta secession is not an option. But I wish it were,” he wrote.
LONDON (AP) – A dual U.K.-Iranian national arrested on suspicion of plotting a terror attack following a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England has been released on bail, authorities said Saturday.
The 25-year-old man was arrested Thursday in London on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts close to the RAF Fairford air base, which has been used by American bombers to strike Iran. He was the sixth person taken into custody and then released on bail as detectives investigate the incident.
They haven’t found a way to blame Trump yet.
TORONTO—Weeks before a referendum on Alberta’s future in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday sought to strengthen ties with the province by designating a proposed oil pipeline to the Pacific coast a “project of national interest,” a move that speeds its regulatory approval process.
Separatists in the oil-rich prairie province have pointed to longstanding disaffection with the federal government’s energy and climate policies, which they say have constrained the oil-and-gas industry, as a key reason they champion independence. The province will vote on Oct. 19 on whether to stay in Canada or to start the process of holding a second, binding referendum on leaving.
The co-pilot who tried to hijack a flight bound for Israel on Wednesday used a crash ax to attack the captain in the cockpit, UAE officials said.
The co-pilot attempted to “take control of the aircraft” and carry out a “terrorist act,” UAE Attorney General Hamad Saif Al Shamsi said in a statement Saturday, published on the official Emirates News Agency.
FlyDubai Flight 1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv lost half its altitude in less than two minutes on Wednesday when the captain, Smit Machchhar, was attacked by his co-pilot in the cockpit.
The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for an Ontario-based air ambulance that went missing Saturday with six people on board, including four Canadians.
The Gulfstream G100 jet, identified as C-GRJP, was flying from Bermuda and was scheduled to land at Boston Logan International Airport around 1:30 a.m., according to the tracking website Flightradar24.
The jet is registered to Latitude Air Ambulance, an Ontario-based company that operates out of John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, according to the Canadian Civil Aircraft Register.
Clip and save this op-ed, because I may be the only person in the free world predicting that in the midterm elections next month, the Republicans are going to win and win big. They’re going to hold both the House and the Senate, and they’ll even increase their margins in both chambers.
Wouldn’t be the first time polls were distorted to aid Democrat candidates.
Canadian senators are costing taxpayers extensive amounts for overseas trips even though Members of Parliament are regularly representing Canada on the same trips, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
A national overview of province-by-province senator overseas travel, released by the CTF this week, states that international trips undertaken between Jan. 16, 2023 and March 17, 2026 by 65 senators cost Canadian taxpayers $1,850,420. Overall, says the CTF, senators have nearly doubled their international travel spending in the last two years, with the costs climbing 88 per cent from $391,095 in 2023 to $736,165 in 2025, according to its analysis of parliamentary financial disclosures.
It’s “Loot The Treasury Time” in Canada.
The corporate charitable giving platform Benevity has reportedly made the Southern Poverty Law Center ineligible for charitable giving, even while still offering a tool by which its corporate clients can screen out organizations the SPLC brands “hate groups.”
Critics say the SPLC, which gained its reputation by suing the Ku Klux Klan into bankruptcy, now smears mainstream conservatives by putting them on a “hate map” with Klan chapters. Separately, the SPLC faces federal fraud and conspiracy charges for allegedly funding Klan activities through its paid-informant program. Donor-advised fund managers such as Fidelity Charitable paused the SPLC’s ability to receive funds following the indictment earlier this year.

Internal federal documents offer insights into how Ottawa is assessing the economic fallout from the possibility of Alberta separating from Canada and becoming an independent state.
The documents from Finance Canada and the Justice Department also shed light on the consequences being considered from the uncertainty caused by Alberta separatism.
Finance Canada briefing notes, released to CBC News through access to information legislation, detail the federal government has been quietly studying the impact of a possible $18-billion fiscal shock, corporate head office flight and a mass exodus of Albertans to neighbouring provinces if Alberta exits the federation.
Political activist Tommy Robinson has appeared at a crown court accused of harassing two journalists by allegedly telling one “I’m coming to get you” and the other “I’ll be knocking at your door”.
The 43-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, sat in the dock at Southwark Crown Court on Friday ahead of his trial at the same court on October 19.
I AM AT COURT AGAIN – THE ATTACKS NEVER STOP

Temporary foreign workers held as much as 83% of the jobs at a Tim Hortons in Ontario, according to court filings from a franchisee now in insolvency proceedings – well above the 10% limit Ottawa sets on low-wage foreign hiring at a single work location.
Six Tim Hortons restaurants in Eastern Ontario have gone bankrupt, with their operator — M.G.B. Ventures Inc.— telling the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that federal restrictions on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) had shrunk its foreign workforce, according to Juno News, citing Blacklock’s Reporter.
