Wild moment gunman wielding an automatic unloads on blacked-out BMW wounding four men in suburban Vancouver

Surveillance footage captured the moment a gunman wielding an automatic weapon unleashed a hail of bullets on a blacked-out BMW in suburban Vancouver.

The early morning shooting occurred at around 12:25 am PT on Thursday in Metro Vancouver’s White Rock, and left four men hospitalized in serious condition.

The video, obtained by Radio Punjab, provides a glimpse into the chaotic events that transpired as a gunman on foot opens fire at a driver seemingly attempting to exit a parking lot, leaving the SUV riddled with bullets on the driver’s side.

Father Says He’s Insulted by Government Offer to Drop Court Case Alleging Son Died Due to COVID Shot

A man who is suing the government because he says his son died due to taking a COVID-19 vaccine says he finds it “disgusting” that the government wants him to drop the case in return for not having to pay legal expenses.

“I’ve never been insulted so bad in my life as that offer. It’s disgusting,” Dan Hartman told The Epoch Times. “It’s insulting and it’s disrespectful to my son’s memory. They’re saying my son’s life wasn’t worth anything.”

U.S. ambassador says ‘world is watching’ Canada’s military spending

The U.S. ambassador to Canada says the world is closely watching Canada’s defence spending commitments, as the NATO alliance scrambles to shore up Ukraine’s supply of military goods.

In an interview that aired Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, David Cohen praised Canada’s “very significant” military contributions on a variety of fronts, including purchases of new equipment and its activity around Ukraine, the Arctic, NORAD and more. But he also applied some pressure when it comes to military spending.

“By the same token, I have been quite clear — and the United States has been quite clear — that NATO and the world is watching what Canada is doing with respect to its commitment…. It’s not something we’ve imposed on Canada. But the world is watching,” he told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

Imam who ‘called the French flag satanic’ is deported from the country to North Africa under tough new immigration laws

Mahjoub Mahjoubi

France has deported a Tunisian cleric who allegedly called the country’s flag satanic.

Mahjoub Mahjoubi, 52, was flown to North Africa just 12 hours after his arrest over sermons said to go against French values.

His deportation last Thursday is seen as a demonstration of tough immigration laws brought in by president Emmanuel Macron.

Trudeau would give him the Order of Canada.

Canada’s drug crisis is affecting a largely unchecked population of users — newcomers

Within 17 days of arriving in Canada, Ali was introduced to methamphetamine.

“I was lonely and was thinking of suicide,” said the international student from Turkey.

Ali said he has been using crystal meth on and off since he moved to Saskatoon in 2022. Now, the 23-year-old is working toward recovery but said mental health services in his language and culturally-specific health care are lacking.


This reeks of “Capacity building” – rent seekers looking for a tax payer subsidized sinecure.

And Ali should be sent packing.

Donald Trump to dump Prince Harry if he becomes president

Donald Trump has warned that Prince Harry will be “on his own” if he is re-elected as president and criticised the Duke of Sussex for his “unforgivable” betrayal of the late Queen.

The former president said that Joe Biden’s administration had been “too gracious” to the Duke of Sussex since he moved to America with his wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020.

For Car Thieves, Toronto Is a ‘Candy Store,’ and Drivers Are Fed Up

Whenever Dennis Wilson wants to take a drive in his new SUV, he has to set aside an extra 15 minutes. That’s about how long it takes to remove the car’s steering wheel club, undo four tire locks and lower a yellow bollard before backing out of his driveway.

His Honda CR-V is also fitted with two alarm systems, a vehicle tracking device and, for good measure, four Apple AirTags. Its remote-access key fob rests in a Faraday bag, to jam illicit unlocking signals.

As a final touch, he mounted two motion-sensitive floodlights on his house and aimed them at the driveway in his modest neighborhood in Toronto.

Outlines of a Hostage Deal Begin to Emerge Even as Fighting Rages at Northern Gaza

Mediators are making progress on an agreement for a weeks-long cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and the release of dozens of hostages held in Gaza as well as Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, Israeli media reported Sunday.

Israel’s War Cabinet met to discuss the proposal late Saturday, but there was no official word on what they had decided. Several Israeli media outlets, citing unnamed officials, said it tacitly approved the deal and that Israel would send a delegation to Qatar for further discussions.

Keep going till Hamas is as beat as can be managed.

Inflation cools but many Torontonians still cannot afford to eat — proof is at the food banks

At long last inflation has fallen. The consumer price index rose by 2.9 per cent in January, down from 3.4 per cent in December. That’s great news for, well, just about everyone.

As Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said last November, inflation is “our common enemy — not only because it creates financial pain and social upheaval, but also because no one wins when inflation is high and volatile.”

However, this modest fall in inflation will not remedy the damage and precariousness introduced by the pandemic and the inflationary run up it brought about. Sharp rises in inflation create societal rifts that a subsequent fall in inflation cannot so easily solve.

Canada’s assisted dying laws in spotlight as expansion paused again

When Canada’s justice minister announced plans to legalise medically assisted dying nearly a decade ago, she acknowledged the proposed law might prove divisive. “For some, medical assistance in dying will be troubling,” Jody Wilson-Raybould told reporters in 2016. “For others, this legislation will not go far enough.”

A fresh delay in expanding the scope of who can access a medically assisted death has once again put a spotlight on the system, which critics and advocates agree is one of the most liberal in the world. But the two groups remain sharply divided on what that means for improving the quality of life – and death – in the country.

How to Fix the Border

If a Democrat is sworn in as president of the United States next January, it’s not inconceivable that over the next four (or eight!) years, much of U.S. immigration law could come to resemble those archaic statutes that no one has bothered to repeal, like South Carolina’s ban on keeping a horse in your bathtub. But if someone becomes president who actually wants to create a sustainable immigration regime that promotes the national interest, his or her priority should be to stabilize the border, and next would be to implement administrative and statutory changes that would prevent the problem from returning.
