Saab wants Canada to buy 72 Gripens and 6 GlobalEyes to fulfil promise of 12,600 jobs
The Canadian Armed Forces would need to buy 72 Gripen fighter jets and six GlobalEye surveillance aircraft for Swedish manufacturer Saab to deliver on its pledge of creating 12,600 jobs in Canada, CBC News has learned. Saab confirmed that the promise of 12,600 jobs is linked to the sale of Gripen and GlobalEye aircraft to Canada. To create more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs in Canada, Saab plans production centres in Ontario and Quebec with a pan-Canadian supplier network. Purchasing a Gripen fleet was the top choice for supporters of the NDP (60 per cent) and the Liberal Party (51 per cent). After running a competition between the F-35 and the Gripen, the government of Canada opted for the F-35 in 2023.

HR Canada Charitable Organization report raises concerns about significant narrative and sympathy bias in CBC's Israel-Hamas war coverage
The two-part report analyzed 2,789 CBC news articles published between October 7, 2023 and June 7, 2025, examining the CBC's online coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. Innohives' research concluded that the CBC's coverage of the Israel-Hamas war demonstrated significant imbalance in sympathy, challenging its commitment to its own Journalistic Standards and Practices. "The bias, which we think is clearly demonstrated by the research being released today, should concern all Canadians," said Amanda Eskenasi, Director of Education at HRCCO and author of the HRCCO report. It contributes to a culture that dehumanizes Jews and dismisses Jewish suffering, allowing bad actors to rationalize or excuse antisemitism, eroding the moral barrier against antisemitic violence."

Man who raped, decapitated an Ontario girl, 12, had day parole extended after being deemed less of a risk
A Nova Scotia man who served 35 years for the violent slaying of a 12-year-old Ontario girl he had raped had his day parole extended last month and continues to live in the Halifax area, according to the Parole Board of Canada. Prior to that, the board noted Worth had participated in “numerous Escorted Temporary Absences (ETAs)” and three unescorted absences. “Your ability to apply the skills learned through programming is reflected in your successful period of day parole, which serves as evidence of measurable progress,” it wrote. Next, Worth’s sister and brother-in-law told police he’d admitted to killing someone and was worried someone would find the body.

NDP leadership candidate apologizes for using AI to respond to Reddit questions
In a post on the NDP’s Reddit page, Ashton received questions about climate change, his French-language skills, fossil fuels and employment, among other topics. He appeared to respond via his Reddit account under the username Rob-Ashton-NDP. He is facing off against Heather McPherson, Tony McQuail, Avi Lewis and Tanille Johnston in the NDP leadership race. In a separate AMA by McQuail on Monday, a user asked him the same question about AI that Ashton was asked about. “We also have someone to take notes at our Team Tony meetings,” he said.

Interior design gets grounded
In 2026, interior design won’t likely be a site of radical change or shocking reveals. A standout trend for 2026, he says, is the colour story: deep greens, burgundies and strong blues are creating a richer, moodier palette. The same desire for grounded, quietly expressive spaces plays out in Benjamin Moore’s 2026 Colour of the Year, Silhouette, an espresso-charcoal hybrid. “It brings a sense of soft, sophisticated comfort home,” says Sharon Grech, a media spokesperson in Colour Marketing and Design at Benjamin Moore. Blue kitchen cabinetry is high on the 2026 trend list, according to designer Arren Williams.

Ontario faces a clear choice on housing – and the stakes are enormous
New home sales across Ontario have fallen far below historic norms, with only approximately 15,000 units sold in 2025. Correspondingly, that total construction activity could decline dramatically, from approximately $31.7 billion in 2024 to just $10.4 billion by 2030. At today’s historically low sales levels, the foregone revenue for the province would be approximately $472 million per year. At traditional sales volumes, it would rise to roughly $1.4 billion annually – which is far less than the predicted fiscal consequences outlined above. It is a request to tax housing less so that it becomes more attainable, while ensuring the industry remains viable enough to continue contributing to public coffers.
