- Description
- The killer of an 83-year-old Ontario woman was just 14 years old and here is security video of the oddly dressed boy walking near his victim's house shortly before and after his attack.
On May 29, 2025, Eleanor Doney was stabbed to death while she was gardening at the front of her house in a suburban slice of Pickering, Ontario, just east of Toronto. It sparked wide fear in the community. These strange images of the killer were captured on security video by neighbour John Meloche who provided them to Postmedia. The boy has confessed to killing Doney in a random attack, but he cannot be identified because of his young age. His cartoonish clothing — the trenchcoat, oversized dress shoes and a briefcase — were likely meant to mimic a graphic novel character the boy seemed obsessed with, who was a serial killer with special powers. He pleaded guilty in April 2026 and is expected to be sentenced as a young offender in July.

- The stakes have been raised ahead of Alberta's scheduled referendum, as the ballot will now include a question on the province's relationship with Canada and future in Confederation. In this interview with Rob Breakenridge, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends her decision to put this question on the ballot as well as her efforts to make the case for Canada and to give Albertans hope that the status quo can be improved. Despite that, though, the Alberta government is challenging the court decision that blocked separatist efforts to trigger a binding separation question - a move Smith says is a necessary defence of some important legal and constitutional principles. We'll hear more from Smith about where things stand with the pipeline MOU with the federal government and how close we are to a formal proposal being submitted to the Major Projects Office, all of which is central to her message that a better relationship with Ottawa is possible. Plus, the premier details her recent announ...

- Does Mark Carney want to raise your kids?

- Description
- Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals introduced a new version of their online harms bill that will attempt to regulate the social media use of Canadians under 16 years of age. It’s an idea that sounds good in theory, and generally has high levels of support. Canada’s bill will require social media sites to prevent people under 16 years of age from accessing them, but will allow them to apply for exemptions, which will be decided by a new censor called the Digital Safety Commission of Canada.
In other words, it would appear as though Ottawa’s solution is not to try to completely ban social media for people under 16, but to use the threat of doing so to force companies to comply with whatever regulatory regime bureaucrats dream up. And given all the restrictions on kids’ behaviour we have in this country, the sky’s the limit.

- Description
- The Carney government has now officially tabled Bill C-34, also known as the Safe Social Media Act. Among other things, the bill creates a "duty to act responsibly" on social media companies, and a "duty to protect children," including a new ban on social media for children under 16 (with some exception). In this interview with NP Comment's Rob Breakenridge, privacy lawyer David Fraser outlines his concerns over the legislation, and the potential impacts on privacy and free speech. Fraser worries that the ban takes away parental control and discretion and could eventually be challenged in court. There's also the privacy concerns now stemming from the sort of age verification that all users will be forced to go through. Moreover, Fraser warns, it's not totally clear what the definition of "social media" is under this law or how broad that interpretation will be. In many ways, he says, the devil is still in the details.

- This week in Ottawa, climate activist Victoria Romero testified before the Senate Standing Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources.

Her recommendation? "immediately end all new oil and gas extraction in Canada" or "end subsidies to the industry."
Ensuring women working on these sites feel comfortable reporting abuse from colleagues and partners makes sense. Using this report in an attempt to kill energy projects is dishonest, as that is not even its recommendation.

- There is a growing political and constitutional crisis in British Columbia sparked by the province's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). The growing controversy around DRIPA and its impacts has become a major political severe headache for Premier David Eby, whose plan to suspend the law fell apart amid threats of blockade and lawsuits from Indigenous leaders. In this interview with NP's Rob Breakenridge, Without Diminishment co-founder and National Post contributor Geoff Russ makes the case that DRIPA has evolved into a "quasi-constitutional veto" and "legal stranglehold" that threatens democratic governance, social cohesion, resource development, and even the names of B.C. municipalities. Russ warns that the rest of Canada should be paying attention, and that B.C.'s experience should serve as a cautionary tale.

The anomalies were found atop a historic septic field, and the survey data wouldn't be able to show a difference.

- Wednesday marks the five-year anniversary of the announcement that hundreds of unmarked graves had been discovered at a former residential school site in Kamloops, B.C. - an announcement that made headlines around the world and ignited an emotional debate here at home around the legacy of residential schools. Since then, however, the initial claims about graves at the Kamloops site have been walked back, as has been the case with similar claims at other sites. No actual new burial sites have been confirmed or unearthed. In this interview with Rob Breakenridge, author, journalist, and National Post columnist Terry Glavin argues that sensationalized reporting and political opportunism fueled false and exaggerated claims of "mass graves" and other horrific crimes. That, he says, sparked widespread civil unrest and ultimately damaged the credibility of genuine residential school survivors.
