Police are searching for four men wanted in a violent road rage incident in Brampton on Wednesday night.
Investigators say there was an interaction between a car travelling on Torbram Road near Eagleridge Drive and the four occupants of a gold-coloured Hyundai Sonata. The four men in the car confronted the victim, threatened them and damaged their vehicle before fleeing the area.
The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the matter. The 2,000 pound bombs have been linked to previous mass-casualty events throughout Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. These officials, like some others, spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because recent authorizations have not been disclosed publicly.
Pro-Palestinian activist groups in British Columbia have sent an open letter to the province’s NDP government demanding a new curriculum featuring politicized content on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
The statement was sent to Minister of Education and Child Care Rachna Singh and insisted the province’s social studies curricula be overhauled to include reference to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
Hardly any of the facts and figures in the debate over the carbon tax and its April 1 increase are going to stick with Albertans. Folks are too busy working, raising kids, and trying to figure out how to pay all their bills to dig in deeply and memorize most arguments for and against the tax.
But one new fact just got my attention. This particular fact is going to be plenty sticky, I suspect.

The cost of living has soared since COVID, owing to supply line disruptions, the war in Ukraine and climate-related disasters. Many Canadians feel the pinch of inflation, which is unpleasant enough. However, the rising cost of living may lead to another problem: higher crime.
Why would higher costs of living lead to increased crime? We can summarize this prediction in one word: desperation. When living is expensive, there are more people who are at risk of not affording their rent, mortgage, groceries and other necessities. Some Canadians barely have enough money to make it to payday, or don’t have enough. And as the saying goes, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Long story short, we just don’t need (straight) men. pic.twitter.com/6OP1Y8BOjl

Sam Bankman-Fried has learned nothing, and I’m not sure any of the rest of us have, either.
At his sentencing, I sat several rows behind Bankman-Fried, clad in prison khaki and clanking faintly when he walked from the shackles on his feet, while he gave his statement to the court. “I’m sorry about what happened at every stage,” Bankman-Fried said. “I failed everyone I cared about.”
I assume SBF is hoping that his appeal will be helped if he refuses to admit to the crimes committed or he’s just an entitled rich kid without boundaries.
Probably not a good plan when the Judge cites 3 instances of perjury during sentencing.
I am curious about Caroline Ellison’s conviction, one account suggested she may get off with no jail time at all.
“In 2024, Jewish money is once again being confiscated by a German bank.” This is a headline that makes for uncomfortable reading in Berlin. It is part of a story currently making the rounds on social media and being described as a “worrying echo of history.” But there is more to this story than meets the eye. And it goes right to the heart of Germany’s Holocaust dilemma.
Niagara Region says it has declared a state of emergency “out of an abundance of caution” as it prepares for an influx of visitors for next month’s total solar eclipse.(opens in a new tab)
In a news release, the region said the state of emergency is a proactive step to ensure it is prepared to accommodate the “once-in-a-lifetime event.”
Three of the women that Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly paid as sex workers have spoken out since they were named in one of the sexual assault lawsuits filed against the music mogul.
On March 25, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones amended the lawsuit he had filed against Combs, 54, back in February. In it, he claimed that City Girls rapper Yung Miami and models Jade Ramey and Daphne Joy—who shares a child with hip-hop star 50 Cent—were hired as sex workers for Combs.
The complaint alleges that Combs would boast about paying a “monthly stipend” for sexual services to the three women. Now, Joy has denied these allegations, while the other two women have been more vague in their posts online.
Who could’ve seen this coming?
Qatar and its vast media network, Al Jazeera, have a long history, which, according to a report by the Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI), promote terrorism worldwide. The report notes:
“Al-Jazeera, therefore, should not be discussed as a means of telecommunications, but instead as an unyielding and forceful political tool of Qatari foreign policy under the guise of a mass media network.”
It was this communications powerhouse, the report continues, that basically drove Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak from power and in 2012 replaced him with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi, who was also driven from power a year later.
Cait Alexander does not consider herself a victim of domestic violence, but rather, a victim of the Canadian justice system.
The criminal case for her ex-boyfriend, accused of trying to kill her in 2021, was rescheduled twice before it was ultimately dropped. She was granted a restraining order and sent on her way.
“I was told my attempted murder is not a priority,” Alexander told reporters at a press conference at Queen’s Park Thursday. “This means an extremely violent abuser is freed without a single consequence.”
Governor of New York told to LEAVE the wake of NYPD officer Jonathon Diller.
The Democrat Governor was only at the wake for 10 minutes before a tense confrontation broke out.
She has been slammed for her bail reform policies, allowing crime to soar.
