The United Arab Emirates has removed state funding for citizens who want to study in the United Kingdom over fears of campus Islamist radicalization there driven by the Muslim Brotherhood. Approximately 8,500 Emirati students were studying in Britain in 2024, the last year for which numbers are available. Since the Arab Spring uprising across the Muslim world in 2011, the UAE has moved vigorously to curb the influence of political Islamist groups, especially the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood was a driving force of the Arab Spring in Egypt where it gained its strongest ever influence, which has since waned. This potential British listing has become a political hot issue, with surging Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage vowing to ban the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes prime minister.

OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is calling for Ottawa to approve a new heavy oil pipeline to the West Coast by the fall, saying that a United States-backed Venezuela threatens to undercut Canada in the global energy market. The U.S. sent shockwaves through the global energy landscape last weekend with a daring raid of oil-rich Venezuela, culminating in the apprehension of socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Canada and Venezuela produce similar grades of heavy oil, meaning that Venezuelan oil can plausibly displace the Canadian product that currently flows into U.S. refineries. Canadian oil stocks have tumbled on news of the incursion, losing $8 billion of stock market value in just four days. The U.S. is by far the biggest customer for Canadian oil, accounting for more than 90 per cent of all exports.

As of last October, The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says it’s been sitting on a pile of more than 10 million uncashed cheques. The CRA says its unclaimed cheques — exactly 10,279,770 at last count — are valued at $1,752,004,000. The CRA has a whole web page devoted to uncashed cheques. The simplest way is to log into your account (conveniently called My Account) and look for the “uncashed cheques” link on the overview page. Since 2020, when the online system for uncashed cheques was set up, Canadians have received 4,960,380 cheques valued at just over $1.8 billion.

I would much rather be talking about the Dallas Cowboys getting ready for a playoff game right about now, but we all know why that did not happen. How many former Dallas Cowboys players will we see? Who are the top former Dallas players that we will see over the next few weeks in the playoffs? Yet another running back that the Dallas Cowboys let go, only for them to have a solid year just like Tony Pollard before him. It just stinks that we will not be able to watch the Cowboys in the playoffs, but rather just watch these former players hopefully ball out.

OTTAWA — Conservative grassroots will debate amending the party’s policy towards diversity, as well as deleting a clause that says a future government would not support legislation restricting abortion, when they meet in Calgary later this month. Delegates from across the country will gather at the party’s first convention since the 2025 spring election loss to vote on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s future as party leader, as well as changes to the party’s policy and constitution. Late Thursday, the Conservative party published a list of policy proposals submitted by party members across riding associations. As party leader, Poilievre can choose whether or not to advance resolutions that members endorse, as has been the case for past leaders. Party conventions have historically been where party members can push a leader to take a stronger stance on an issue and serve as an indicator of the direction grassroots members want a party to take.

Memorial University political scientist Kelly Blidook pulled no punches when asked what cost the Liberals the 2025 provincial election in Newfoundland and Labrador. Blidook believes the story haunted the Liberals throughout the election campaign last fall and was a key reason they lost to Tony Wakeham's Progressive Conservatives. "Every single member of that cabinet basically showed us that they are corrupt," Blidook told the St. John's Morning Show on Wednesday. And so ultimately, it was this corruption — I hope it was this corruption [that cost them the election]. Download our free CBC News app to sign up for push alerts for CBC Newfoundland and Labrador.

The board “is unanimous in accepting that Mr. Da Costa represents a significant threat to the safety of the public,” said the decision. Da Costa was found not criminally responsible on a charge of first degree murder in May 2019. Mr. Da Costa was found covered in blood and he was arrested. His father, Richard Da Costa, was found dead in the basement, with a hammer beside him,” said the decision. There have been no command hallucinations bothering Mr. Da Costa.

But November 2025’s federal budget formalized this, and doubled down on the flip flop, slashing the cap on temporary residents from 675,000 to 385,000. And more people than ever seem to approve, to view immigration broadly as a problem rather than a solution. Public attitudes that had been overall positive on immigration since the 1990s now have settled firmly into the negative. After the pandemic, immigration numbers “ratcheted up a lot,” Banerjee said, particularly for temporary residents such as foreign students and people with work permits. Much of the drop in temporary residents is coming from reduced numbers of foreign students.

What is the Monroe Doctrine? Over time, the address became known as the Monroe Doctrine. Why are people calling it the ‘Donroe Doctrine,’ or the ‘Trump Doctrine’?

Dallas requested defensive coordinator interviews with Jim Leonhard, Darontè Jones, Ephraim Banda, and checked on Jeff Ulbrich before Atlanta blocked it. The Cowboys have requested permission to speak with Minnesota defensive pass game coordinator Daronte Jones, Denver assistant HC/pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard and Browns safeties coach Ephraim Banda for their defensive coordinator vacancy, according to multiple sources. Jim Leonhard—The Broncos Young Defensive GuruLeonhard has been working in Denver as their defensive passing game coordinator. Darontè Jones—Vikings Experience that Fits Today’s LeagueJones is doing similar pass game coordinator work in Minnesota. I have optimism that this hire might finally look like the defensive coordinator the fans deserve to see coaching on the sidelines.

As America levies consequences on the United Kingdom for its free speech transgressions, Canada must see this as a cautionary tale. The current White House has made it clear — most famously via Vice-President JD Vance’s February 2025 address in Munich — that it resents Europe’s slow rejection of personal liberties like free speech. On the free speech issue, thankfully Canada has not yet implemented its own online safety legislation. That draft legislation was broadly similar to the U.K.’s Online Safety Act, containing provisions that imposed significant fines and criminal liability for posting material online. It’s also crucial Canada remains supportive of free speech for its own sake — as it is an essential ingredient for an open, prosperous society.
