  1. CALGARY—Despite common misperceptions, Canada’s tax system is progressive and the top 20 per cent of income-earning families pay more than half (58.3 per cent) of total taxes including personal income, sales and property taxes, according to a new study published by the Fraser Institute, an independent non-partisan Canadian think-tank.

  2. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to formally vote to declare independence from Great Britain. The vote of the states was 12 yes, 0 no, and 1 abstention. New York failed to vote because its delegates claimed they lacked direction from their state government.

    After the vote, the delegates fell into a heavy, almost solemn silence when it became clear that the result had been unanimous. They knew the weight of their decision. They literally signed their death warrants. I wouldn't doubt that every man silently prayed to God for protection.

  3. WINNIPEG, Man. — Canada’s Pacific ports are increasingly vulnerable to organized crime, drug trafficking and hostile foreign actors because of fragmented oversight, limited inspections and inadequate enforcement, according to a new report released today by the Frontier Centre for Public Policy.

    The report, Canada’s Pacific Ports Are Under-Secured, argues that Vancouver and Prince Rupert have become attractive targets because criminals and hostile states view the likelihood of detection as low. Publicly available federal audit data show fewer than two per cent of shipping containers entering Metro Vancouver are X-rayed or otherwise scanned while fewer than one per cent are physically opened and searched.

  4. Catholic conservatives today sometimes point their finger at Pope Paul VI for having signed for the new Mass in 1969, not realizing that he never initiated the move to draft a new Mass. He neither composed the new Mass, nor did he revoke the Old Mass.

  5. GENEVA, July 8, 2026 UN Watch today released a new report, UNESCO’s Misidentification of Terrorist Operatives as Journalists in Gaza, documenting repeated cases in which UNESCO publicly identified Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives as journalists killed in Gaza, despite subsequent acknowledgments by those terrorist organizations themselves that the individuals were members of their military wings.
