The radical rock-and-roll leftists threw a concert in Maryland titled – what else? – the “Power to the People Festival.” The organizer was Tom Morello, the guitarist of the band Rage Against The Machine. The most celebrated guest, as it leaked out on social media, was former Biden-appointed special counsel Jack Smith, who just days earlier told a Senate hearing, “I am not a politician, and I have no partisan loyalty.”
“Significant jail time” likely lies ahead for a man accused of threatening the life of Prime Minister Mark Carney.
But it’s not the charge related to that matter that could land Jamie Da Costa a lengthy stay behind bars.
The 31-year-old also faces other charges not related to the alleged incident involving Carney.
The University of Utah is being singled out in media reports for having the most reported rapes of any college campus in America. And yet, the number is only shocking if you remove all context, which the New York Post did.
Mississauga candidates say police are investigating threats, point to toxic discourse online
Peel police are investigating alleged “threats received on social media” after a complaint made by Mississauga mayoral candidate Bonnie Crombie.
Danny Singh, a current council candidate for Ward 5, is the subject of the complaint, Crombie said. Singh denies any wrongdoing and says he is unaware of a police investigation.
No charges have been laid.
Folks depending on the New York Times for news probably don’t realize how often armed citizens use firearms in self-defense across the country. The Times doesn’t devote much attention to those incidents. Gun owners behaving badly, on the other hand, apparently make for more compelling copy.
Across the GTA, organizations that support people struggling to pay rent say demand for assistance is reaching unprecedented levels, as rising housing costs and stagnant incomes leave more households behind.
Data from Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board shows applications to evict tenants for non-payment of rent (L1s) have been steadily increasing, rising from 37,690 L1 applications in 2022-23 to 41,386 in 2023-24 and 45,435 in 2024-25 — an increase of about 20 per cent in three years.
These eviction for non-payment filings now account for roughly half of all applications received by the board.
The GTA voted Liberal last election.
Before we take a look into just how profitable and luxurious it is not to solve the Los Angeles homelessness crisis, let me first advise you to delay that next cup of coffee and make sure that you’ve taken any and all prescription blood pressure medication.
Closer to home the Daily Bread Foodbank among others have C Level execs and that says to me you’re not a charity any longer.
If you build it they will come and it will mean a dream job for you.
SEATTLE — Chilling details of the moments leading up to the devastating Tumbler Ridge shooting were released for the first time on Tuesday, as U.S. and B.C. law enforcement officials announced that a Bellingham resident has been arrested in connection with the attack.
A Chicago Muslim group inspired by veteran Black Power activists solicits money to empty jails based on religious obligation.
Believers Bail Out claims to have freed 300 Muslims from immigration or pretrial detention with $2.4 million since its 2018 founding, according to its website. The organization has enjoyed financial support from several Muslim and left-wing groups focused on criminal justice reform or resisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Washington Examiner found. Believers Bail Out also coordinates with a network of bail funds that gained steam during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.
OTTAWA — The Liberal government says it will table legislation in the fall to indefinitely exclude people who solely suffer from mental illness from medical assistance in dying.
Justice Minister Sean Fraser said there is a lack of consensus on when mental illness is irremediable, and concern around a lack of access to mental health supports.
“While there is not a perfect consensus on this issue. We believe this is the correct approach at this particular time,” Fraser said.
A former CIA officer who was arrested after authorities found hundreds of gold bars stashed in his home has admitted to defrauding the US government in a sprawling $200m (£151m) scam involving fake contracts and real estate.
David Rush, 49, is required to pay restitution to the government and forfeit luxury real estate, cars, watches and other assets tied to his crime as part of the plea deal.
Rush also confessed to providing secrets to a foreign government, which could have caused “grave damage” to national security.
On the morning of 11 September 2001, Perry Chalmers was running drills for the Royal Canadian Regiment’s specialised mortar platoon in New Brunswick when he heard the news: America was under attack. Word quickly spread across the base. “I went inside to watch the news,” the former corporal recalls. “And there was a huge feeling of – and you’re going to have to excuse me – holy shit. What the fuck just happened?”
Chalmers called his wife, who informed him that, just before 10.30am, the second of the World Trade Center towers had fallen. With that, his battalion was put on notice: dispatched to nearby airports to assist in the forced landings of commercial aircraft after the shutdown of North American airspace.
The Canadian troops went to retrieve their rucksacks and any other necessities, should they need to spring into action at a moment’s notice. As Chalmers recalls: “Things started to happen really quickly.”
It’s a Guardian piece.
‼️JUST IN: Quebec’s premier-elect is moving to BAN the King’s representative from his government’s swearing in ceremony – refuses to take oath to the King.
Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said he is seeking legal advice so the lieutenant-governor does not take part in the swearing-in of MNAs.
He refuses the oath to the King, calling it a lie as his first act in the legislature.
“There is something abnormal about a foreign king coming to tell us what to do,” he said.
I love this. Get these foreign kings out of here.
The power belongs to the PEOPLE.
Finally, someone has the courage to just ACT. No more asking, just DO IT.

Three alleged Iranian spies plotted to ‘eliminate’ journalists in the UK and targeted a barrister linked to Israel on behalf of Tehran, a court has heard.
London-based Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, and Shapoor Noori, 57, allegedly used Chat GPT to help conduct research and then engaged in surveillance and reconnaissance.
Sepahvand was prepared to act as a hit man, who would conduct ‘serious violence’ as ‘retribution’ for their criticism of the Iranian regime, Woolwich Crown Court was told.
The Canada-U.S. trade war has reshaped Canadians’ view of their country, somewhat rekindled coast-to-coast-to-coast unity and dominated federal and provincial elections.
For more than a year it has been steeped in the national psyche, and just when we thought a deal was near with our friend-to-foe southern neighbour, we instead face a new — steeper — round of tariffs, bans and counter-tariffs.
