“CBC now says that their assertions about me were actually just comments or expressions of opinions, rather than objectively true facts,” Ford said.

“They say that readers would understand that the statements and news headlines in question are actually editorial opinions, rather than factual reporting.”

On Friday, Justin Manoryk, counsel for the Star, argued that the publication’s coverage was mainly about Ford’s resignation and developments during the 2019 Alberta provincial election, rather than an investigation into her personal beliefs or political ideology.

"Choosing October 7 as the date for a memorial framed around Palestinian 'martyrs' demands that we ask whether the event functions as a memorial, or is it functioning as intimidation or the glorification of violence and terror. October 7 marks the anniversary of the Hamas-led massacre where 1,200 men, women and children, including 8 Canadians, were murdered, sexually assaulted, abducted, and desecrated," NECA said.

Five men sat stripped to the waist on a darkened roadside in the early hours of Sunday, in images of their arrests near the Gloucestershire base from which American bombers have struck Iran. The Daily Mail, which published footage it said a resident of the nearby village of Whelford filmed at 2:10 a.m., reported that officers may have suspected the men were wearing suicide vests.

Gloucestershire Police said residents of Whelford were being moved to a nearby leisure center while “the Army’s specialist explosive ordnance disposal team” examined “a number of vehicles.” “A cordon is currently in place but we’d like to reassure people that we believe this incident is contained,” the force said.

The arrests come amid heightened concern about foreign-state activity in Europe and North America.

Herland started filming.

One man, wearing a mask, repeatedly yelled "You're going to Hell" using a bullhorn pointed at Herland and others. Another man screamed "baby killer." Elsewhere, a woman was called an "ugly Jewish bitch" – and, when the cantor at the service went outside and smiled at a protester, another yelled: "The Jew smiles while he kills babies in Gaza."

...After Herland posted that, CBC reacted with fury and swiftly pulled the broadcast veteran off-air, informing him he would be investigated. On Thursday afternoon, a first disciplinary hearing was held with Herland and his lawyer.

"For Jewish people, the personal has always been political and the political always personal. This year I'm reflecting on the fact that we failed to do our part to stop an ongoing genocide committed in our name," federal NDP leader Avi Lewis wrote, calamitously, on the occasion of Yom Kippur.

Pithy counterpoint, courtesy of Liberal MP Anthony Housefather: "Holding Canadian Jews and Jews across the world collectively responsible for events over which they have no control is despicable," he wrote. That's about the size of it.

Indeed, I'm old enough to remember the aftermath of 9/11, when New Democrats — and many others, particularly on the left — admonished us not to do to Muslims precisely what Lewis did to his fellow Jews. (The admonishment was often a bit much, but I fully agreed with the message and still do, no matter what group we're talking about.)

Interviews with 230 displaced women reveal grim patterns and harrowing accounts of abuse, including rape victims who often wed their attackers to avoid shame. "When rape cases are discovered in schools, you find weddings and celebrations at the school the next day," said one woman.

Another described how, during the war, "a man married off his 14-year-old daughter in exchange for two bags of flour so he and his [other] children could eat", a bartering pattern six women reported across different camps.

To do that, Lukaszuk said, Forever Canadian must act as a third-party advertiser despite being registered as one with Elections Alberta since June 8.

“The difference between what they have been doing and what they’re about to do is probably going to be difficult for most people to discern,” said Lori Williams, an associate professor of policy studies at Mount-Royal University in Calgary.

...“Mr Lukaszuk has been playing pretty cute with the wordage of the legislation and definitely at the least has been violating the spirit of the legislation of disclosure and campaign limits throughout this thing,” Morgan told Global News. “Claiming he’s not campaigning while he has a campaign office, while he has a campaign bus and while he puts out campaign signs.”

Canada’s problem is geography. Its pipelines and marine terminals for oil and gas exports sit on the West Coast and point toward Asia, with no equivalent on the Atlantic side. At the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, R.J. Johnston heads the energy and natural resources policy file, and he sees no quick fix. “There’s nothing imminent in the short-term that’s ready to physically take the oil and gas easily off the East Coast to Europe,”

“A capital investment, as it’s accounted for in public accounts, is an asset which then goes on the federal balance sheet. This does not,” Bartlett said.

“The definition that’s used for operating expenses by the federal government in its budgeting process is not taken seriously by anyone outside of Ottawa.”

The lawsuit was filed in February 2025 by Shurat HaDin, with support from the pro-Israel advocacy group StandWithUs. It names the employees and alleges that some Al Jazeera staff members had ties to terrorist organizations and, in some cases, were members of those groups.

The Jerusalem Post reported in June that the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) would conduct a comprehensive review of its database of journalists killed during the Israel-Hamas war after Hamas and PIJ published obituaries identifying individuals previously listed by CPJ as journalists as members of their organizations.
