Budget 2026: Ottawa eases off defence spending increases despite NATO commitments

Budget 2026: Ottawa eases off defence spending increases despite NATO commitments

The federal government is reducing the scale of its defence spending increases in its 2026 budget, which also projects no further progress toward meeting Canada’s NATO military expenditure targets beyond the next fiscal year.

Ottawa’s math suggests that even by 2030, Canada will still be roughly $37-billion short of the annual military-spending level needed to reach its commitment to bring core military spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP by 2035.

We tried 3D-printed meat and wished we hadn’t

We tried 3D-printed meat and wished we hadn’t

A truly convincing dupe for animal proteins — steaks, chicken breasts and fish fillets — is a holy grail for food companies.

For decades, scientists have pressed various substances into shapes approximating animal flesh, from faux bacon to Tofurky to Impossible Burgers, using ever-advancing technologies. Some do it in the name of health, others to create protein sources that reduce the suffering of animals or the immense environmental toll of industrial meat production. The latest frontier for the category is 3D printing: Israel-based brand Perfecta Foods recently launched in grocery stores in the United States, promising convincing plant-based versions of popular cuts of meat, all made by printers.

Rise of ̷f̷a̷r̷-̷r̷i̷g̷h̷t̷ ̷g̷r̷o̷u̷p̷s̷ far-left groups should not curb Canada’s bid for stronger ties with EU, ambassador says

Canada’s ambassador to the European Union is playing down the rise of far-right groups in Europe amid Ottawa’s push for closer ties with the 27-member bloc.

“I think people need to be a bit cautious about getting overly concerned about some of the developments with respect to stronger parties on the right,” the ambassador, Jonathan Wilkinson, told the Senate committee on foreign affairs and international trade during a virtual appearance on Thursday.

Denmark’s top court to rule on ‘parallel societies’ after ‘non-western’ people evicted

Denmark’s top court to rule on ‘parallel societies’ after ‘non-western’ people evicted

Denmark’s supreme court is expected to rule on whether the state’s classification of residents with “non-western” backgrounds is covered by racial discrimination law.

The appeal by residents who were evicted from Nøjsomhed-Sydvej in Helsingør, a city north of Copenhagen, could have far-reaching implications for others who have been forced out of their homes by the controversial legislation previously known as the “ghetto law”. The government now refers to affected neighbourhoods as “parallel societies”.

The residents, who have been unsuccessful in other courts, argue that the evictions by the housing association were intended to cut the number of residents with a “non-western” background in order to stop the area from becoming a “ghetto” and therefore subject to the legislation. The government has previously argued the classification is unrelated to ethnicity.

The longer he stayed in Donald Trump’s camp, the more he would be associated with abandoning his America First values for another foreign war.

And so, as Republicans surveyed the damage of their humiliating midterm defeat, the vice-president took it upon himself to deliver a devastating rebuke of the president’s decision to go to war with Iran.

Jesse Kline: Mark Carney burns down Canada’s finances, funds government e-library

Remember, remember the fifth of November: the day Prime Minister Mark Carney turned Canada’s finances to ember.

It would not surprise me if Carney, the former governor of the Bank of England and a British citizen from 2018-2025, chose Nov. 5 to release his second budget. It is the date on which the United Kingdom commemorates Bonfire Night, a celebration of the monarchy’s survival after Guy Fawkes’ plot to blow up Parliament in 1605 was foiled.
