You're not going to believe this.

I had difficulty accepting it, but it's true: A child born to Canadian military family serving overseas can be Canadian -- but has no automatic right to a passport.

Lawrence Connelly was born in Germany in 1967 when his...

On Tuesday evening, just before midnight, I was assaulted by a police officer. No warning, no explanation, just a swift swing of a nightstick to the back of my leg.

It was on Rene Levesque Boulevard. I was walking west, away from the protest area, near the corner of Sanguinet....

The ongoing -- perhaps growing -- student strikes in Quebec have brought into focus the most pressing question in this period of austerity: is the only solution to current economic challenges to cut public services and raise "user fees" such as post-secondary tuition? The answer to this question has as...

It's increasingly clear, from the way the protesters in Montreal are acting, how nonsensical their cause for protest is.

Culminating in a march of some 100,000 people, Tuesday marked the 100th day of the student strike in Quebec. Why this is a cause for celebration is beyond...

According to reports, Canada is downplaying the espionage case against Sub.-Lt. Jeffrey Delisle for fear of upsetting relations with Russia.
