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.

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....

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.
