Canadian David Bonin, 58, told The Post his ancestors fought in the American Revolution for the British — but seeing the July 4 celebrations has convinced him they were wrong. “I think we should have followed the US and ousted the British,” said the Montreal native, after explaining he could trace his lineage back to British Loyalists based in Niagara Falls during the Revolution. SNIP “They really get into it. They do everything super well,” he said, adding that he was now rethinking his thoughts about Canada.

A promotional clip for pop star Katy Perry’s latest music video is raising eyebrows for juxtaposing lyrics about “watch[ing] it burn” with the backdrop of a church, which some on social media are connecting to the ongoing problem of church arsons across Canada, where Perry’s current boyfriend Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister. On June 25 Perry released her latest single and music video, “Watch It Burn,” reportedly a sort of treatise on moving forward from trauma, symbolized by setting a city ablaze. In a TikTok clip promoting the song highlighted by journalist Harrison Faulkner, Perry is sitting in a church...

Chinese cars are increasingly driving a wedge between the US, Mexico and Canada ahead of a July 1 deadline to renew North America’s faltering free-trade pact, deepening a rift already torn open by Donald Trump’s tariffs. The US is the only major market Chinese cars have yet to conquer — but it remains firmly off-limits. Washington has in effect banned them to combat suspected surveillance technology amid fears the vehicles, heavily subsidised by Beijing, would kill off America’s domestic auto industry. By contrast, Mexico’s love affair with cheap Chinese cars has made it Beijing’s top car export destination and Canada...

On May 27 an article by Brian Williams and Sharon Kirkey that was published by the London Free Press on May 27, 2026 reported on the euthanasia deaths by Dr James MacLean. Dr James MacLean is one of the few doctors to be sanctioned for unprofessional conduct related to his euthanasia deaths. One of the complaints included a euthanasia assessment that was done at a Tim Horton’s coffee shop while another concerned a “botched” euthanasia death whereby MacLean declared the man dead, when he wasn’t dead… Sharon Kirkey wrote a difficult article that was published by the National Post on...

When Canada legalized medical assistance in dying (MAID) in 2016, the public debate focused largely on one situation: people facing the end of life and suffering intolerably. For many Canadians, that remains their understanding of the law today. But Canada’s MAID framework has evolved significantly since then. In 2021, Parliament expanded the law through Bill C-7, creating two pathways for assisted death. The first pathway applies to people whose natural death is imminent and expected soon (reasonably foreseeable). The second — known as “Track 2” — allows separate access to MAID for individuals with disabilities who are not dying. This...

Men and women aren’t the same. We’re also not “equal.” There are things men are better at and things women are better at. One of those things is police work. Does that mean there are no good female cops? Of course not. But it does mean there’s a dangerous pattern that’s been forming for a long time, where female officers are being overwhelmed by perps, running from crime scenes, and even killing innocent people in Keystone Cops-style situations. But none of this is the least bit funny It’s actually alarming. And it’s time to ask the million-dollar question: Should we...

The tranquil normalcy of a residential neighborhood in the Canadian city of Montreal was shattered Monday morning after a gunman opened fire, prompting a shootout with police that killed at least two people, sent families running for cover and paralyzed the city for hours. The brazen daylight shooting, which law enforcement sources believe was a targeted attack on police, marks the first time a Montreal officer has been killed in the line of duty in two decades. The rash of gunshots shocked residents of the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, who remained under an hourslong order to take shelter and lock their doors...

The man accused of killing a Montreal police officer in the city's heavily Jewish Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood before being shot dead by police left behind a 104-page manifesto filled with explicit antisemitism, anti-Zionist rhetoric, communist ideology, and grievances commonly associated with the online "incel" movement. Police say that they have not yet determined a motive for the attack. The shooting erupted Monday after police responded to reports of an armed man near the Hilton Garden Inn in Côte-des-Neiges. Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane was killed, and another officer was seriously injured. He was the first Montreal police officer killed in the line...

Freddy, the World Cup tourist from Germany, has been having the road trip of a lifetime as he and his crew drive across America. He's been to the Johnson Space Center, met astronauts, and got to sit in the commander's seat of the Orion trainer capsule. He was invited to country singer Ella Langley's concert and got to meet her after posting about admiring her music as they drove. In fact, he got so many gifts that he was having trouble getting them on the plane as he tried to travel to Toronto to go to the next game between...

The so-called “leaders” of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany are the four jokers of the apocalypse — each doing his damndest to drag what’s left of those nations into Hell. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has given several speeches recently in which he reaffirms his commitment to fighting “climate change” by severely limiting Canadians’ meat and dairy consumption, clothing allowance, private ownership of vehicles, air travel, and other basic lifestyle choices. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer — who did nothing while Islamic rape gangs hunted young British girls — has rolled out a totalitarian system for online speech...

A schizophrenic woman who viciously stabbed to death a newlywed at a Toronto drugstore was shockingly allowed to walk free over a decade after the senseless rampage. SNIP Bisesar, a financial adviser clad in business attire and standing less than 5 feet tall, took off after the stabbing spree but was captured later by Toronto police. “While the tragedy cannot be undone and will always be on our minds, Ms. Bisesar no longer is a significant threat to the safety of the public, and the law requires that an absolute discharge must be imposed,” the board wrote in its decision...

Chief Myron Demkiw and Chief Supt. Joe Matthews spoke at a news conference Tuesday morning, less than a week after police carried out search warrants related to multiple shootings across the city.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that the “new world order will be built from Europe” with his country playing a key role in comments that echo a speech earlier in the year interpreted as a criticism of President Donald Trump. During a visit to Ireland, Carney said that that Canada was “the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU.” In January, Carney addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, taking aim at the erosion of the rules-based international order in comments which were seen as a pointed reference to Trump’s...

It now returns to the House of Commons, which passed the bill in March, for final approval of Senate amendments before Royal...
