Let’s start at the very beginning – famously, a very good place to start.
Just two decades after the second world war, a Hollywood crew descended on Salzburg with stars, show tunes and a compelling, essentially true story of love and opposition to Adolf Hitler: The Sound of Music.
The Austrian city, still economically and morally devastated from the Nazi period, wasn’t quite ready to receive them.
Don’t mention the war.
OTTAWA — Americans looking to tool around town on a brand new Can-Am Spyder will soon be out of luck.
The distinct Bombardier-built three-wheeled motorcycle, manufactured in rural Quebec, will be among the Canadian products banned by President Donald Trump White House on Tuesday — joining Canadian cheese, alcohol and agricultural products as the latest targets of the United States trade war against Canada.
An aging and seemingly intoxicated Madonna made a fool of herself repeatedly during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards on CBS. It was surprisingly non-political. Not a single political speech.
Stelco Holdings Inc. said on Monday that it plans to idle part of its Hamilton plant in order to “ensure the survival” of the company, as U.S. tariffs squeeze its sales.
Stelco said the decision will impact up to 500 employees.
In a memo obtained by CBC News on Monday, the company said it will indefinitely idle its cold-rolled and coated operations at its Hamilton Works plant, with operations set to begin winding down on Oct. 9.
As a researcher who has spent more than two decades studying counterterrorism and radical Islamist organizations in the Middle East, I want to address the Department of Homeland Security directly — and its new secretary, who understands the nature of the regime ruling Iran. The threat posed by the Islamic Republic on American soil is not hypothetical. Its record reveals an operational pattern of proxy terrorism, criminal recruitment, target surveillance, and assassination plots.
Keep Dec. 14 in mind for a possible federal election.
It sounds crazy given that Mark Carney’s Liberals have a majority government, one they could expand with upcoming byelections. Yet there are a number of reasons, real and political, that make an early election feasible.
Five men who were arrested on suspicion of explosive and terrorism offences after a major incident was declared at an RAF airbase in the west of England are due to be released on police bail.
Three vans were spotted near RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday morning and the police were called, before a huge police operation in Gloucestershire saw the area put under cordon.
Head of Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said on Monday that officers were exploring “multiple lines of inquiry”, including whether proxies or individuals knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign state were involved.
The five men are all UK nationals in their 20s from London.
The 5 Terrorists arrested for trying to bomb RAF Fairford Air Base are being RELEASED on Bail.
How do you stop what would have been a catastrophic terror attack on Americans only to let them go?
The U.K. government is incompetent.

I was 18 when I moved to Canada as a Nepalese international student, carrying two suitcases and a simple dream: to study, build a career and eventually call this country home. However, I didn’t fully understand when I first arrived how uncertain and emotionally exhausting the journey to permanent residency could be.
While I studied psychology and international relations at the University of British Columbia, I interned at the Canadian Cancer Society and worked as a research assistant in a lab. I said yes to opportunities, built connections and slowly started to feel like I belonged here.
I didn’t know Canada had a crisis level shortage of psychology and international relations majors.
On Feb. 11, 1979, the Shah of Iran was overthrown, causing the culmination of the Iranian Revolution and the beginning of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I was seven years old. My family was living in Washington because both of my parents had worked for the government.
The United States and China released Monday reciprocal lists of products worth about US$30 billion each that will see tariff cuts, from American hair products to Chinese toys, in a deal expected to boost bilateral trade.
The details came days after Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington in his first state visit to the U.S. since 2015. The U.S. had already reduced tariffs against China after Trump’s tariffs reached as high as 145 per cent at one point last year, as tensions between the two countries eased.
Five men arrested on suspicion of terror offences at RAF Fairford are all British nationals in their 20s from London, counter-terrorism police have said.
The men were pictured on Sunday being apprehended, shirtless, near the RAF base in Gloucestershire, which is being used by the US air force in its operations against Iran.
Police said three of them were 24, one was 25 and one 23, and three resided in Westminster, one in Camden and the other in Willesden. Officers said the men were being held under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act and a custody extension had been secured until later on Monday.
Nothing like a home grown 5th Column.

President Donald Trump’s ban on Canadian alcoholic beverages is set to take effect on Sept. 29. It covers a broad range of beer, wine and spirits. For Canadian producers, this is no small matter: in the 2024–25 fiscal year, we exported $1.4 billion in alcoholic beverages to the United States. That is a lot of business to put at risk.
Israel has tracked down and killed the Hamas terrorist suspected of kidnapping hostages Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or during the October 7 attacks.
Saher Nidal Latfi Sakr supplied weapons to Hamas during the war and rode the motorbike used to kidnap the couple from the Nova music festival and take them into Gaza in 2023.
The terrorist was killed by an airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, in an operation carried out by Israel Police’s Gideonim Unit 33.

Canada’s former top military commander considered resigning “several times” during his tenure in battles with the former Trudeau government over the sexual misconduct scandal, and the lack of commitment towards defence spending.
Retired general Wayne Eyre’s new memoir, Into the Breach: A Soldier’s Journey, also peels back the curtain on the internal debate that took place over how to end the convoy occupation of downtown Ottawa in early 2022.
