TORONTO — Conservative MPs introduced a private member’s bill Thursday aimed at strengthening legal protections for Canadians who use force against intruders inside their homes.
The proposed legislation, titled the Stand on Guard Act, would amend Section 34 of the Criminal Code to presume that force used against a person who knowingly and unlawfully enters a home is justified unless evidence proves otherwise.

Crystal Mangum walked out of a North Carolina prison last month, 15 years after she fatally stabbed her boyfriend, Reginald Daye. Five years before her murder conviction, however, Mangum made national headlines when she accused members of Duke University’s lacrosse team of raping her. The accusation was false, but the furor surrounding that 2006 case provoked a firestorm that had a radicalizing effect on many students at Duke, including President Donald Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller. Twenty years later, we live in a world shaped to a remarkable degree by a lie told by a stripper.
I remember this.
More than 30 soldiers based in Petawawa suffered frostbite injuries during a recent exercise in Alaska, prompting concerns about the quality of equipment military personnel are issued.
Soldiers contacted the Ottawa Citizen to complain that the Canadian Army was trying to cover up details about frostbite injuries to more than 60 troops who took part in “Exercise Global Resolve” in February. A number of frostbite cases were extremely serious, the soldiers added.

Sometimes the obvious is so obvious that people forget to state it. So let me observe one small footnote among recent obvious things.
Earlier this month, Donald Trump killed the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and most of the senior leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary government in Iran.

The path across the aisle is often a precarious one for members of Parliament and few who switch parties make it through the next election.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority Liberal government has brought in four opposition MPs, making a majority government within reach.
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has revived a benefit program once lauded as a step toward “reparations” for black San Franciscans. Known as the Dream Keeper Initiative, the relaunched program will grant $36 million to “community-serving organizations,” including some that have offered “Afri-centric” mental-health services, African ancestry DNA testing, and free doulas for “African American birthing people.”
Supporters say the initiative will deliver racial “equity”; a civil rights lawyer says the program may violate federal law.
When Canada was a serious country, we used to deport dangerous people even if there was a war on. We didn’t care if we were sending someone who was a danger to Canada back to a war zone; the main concern of our government was that the person being kicked out was a danger to Canada.
Just another example of elite corruption and decay in Canada.
As US President Donald J. Trump and members of his “Board of Peace” pledged billions of dollars for “relief and reconstruction” in the Gaza Strip, two recent public opinion polls show that most Palestinians are still concerned about widespread corruption in Palestinian society.
This concern should sound alarm bells for the Trump Administration and donor countries if they are about to invest billions of dollars in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians are loudly warning international donors that Palestinian leaders are not trustworthy in handling money.
American strategic policy under President Trump has been so imaginative and so professionally executed by the U.S. Armed Forces that the punditocracy, none too blessed with piercing insight the best of times, has generally failed to recognize the proportions of its success. In the 13 months of this second Trump administration, a technique has been devised that has demonstrated it can almost immunize the United States against the depredations of its enemies, who have been subsidizing terrorism and guerrilla warfare to harass and enervate America.
Everybody farts. The question is how often? And how much gas is too much gas to pass?
Those are questions that arose from frustration with a piece of lab equipment.
Stephanie Faure knew something was wrong when she woke up feeling pressure in her head.
Surgeons had opened up her skull 14 months earlier to remove brain tumours. They performed a craniotomy that left her with a metal plate, screws and a scar.
So when she looked more closely at her head on Sunday and saw what looked like a screw pushing out through her skin, she decided to go to the hospital.
Former longtime ABC correspondent-turned-Substack poster Terry Moran brought out frequent MS NOW guest Anand Giridharadas — yes, the guy with the crazy Jimmy Neutron hair — on Wednesday to chat about the war on Iran and the Epstein Files when Giridharadas asserted President Trump is worse than Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong because Trump, along with being “a weak man pretending to be a strong man,” has been “selling merch.”
Two people have died in Canada after donating plasma at a chain of clinics that has been under scrutiny by federal inspectors for failing to keep accurate records, screen donors or maintain its machines.
While experts say the deaths are exceedingly rare, critics say Canada’s embrace of private companies to handle blood products reflects a “slow collapse of a system that has been the envy of the world”.
Everything in Canada is turning to shit.
