If you have a mental health crisis in this country, count yourself as extremely lucky if you get help quickly. Canadians seeking treatment for mental illness or distress can be forced to wait weeks, months or years depending on their needs, location and financial status.
Authorities investigating the slayings of four University of Idaho students walked back a key detail in the grisly case — revealing Wednesday that detectives actually aren’t sure if the quadruple homicide was a targeted attack.
The stunning revelation came after local police told the public from early on in their investigation that they believe a killer or killers targeted the victims in the brutal knife attack last month at an off campus house in the college city of Moscow.
In the real world, as opposed to the fantasy one which too many Canadian politicians inhabit, oil and natural gas are going to be major sources of Canadian and global energy for decades to come.
The federal government’s Canada Energy Regulator projected in 2019 that Canada’s oil sector will grow by almost 50%, and the natural gas sector by 30%, from 2018 to 2040.
A lawyer was caught on video pulling a gun on his ex-girlfriend at a Texas bar and allegedly fired three shots before customers pinned him down.
Gavin Rush, 41, was then released just two days later on a $40,000 bond despite facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon involving family violence.
Rush, who according to his LinkedIn page works on ‘sexual assault, embryo destruction and fertility center misconduct, complex commercial litigation, civil rights actions, FINRA arbitrations, and financial services disputes’ only had to post 10 percent of that, or $4,000.
Earlier this week there was a shooting at a local bar in my district. This attorney belongs behind bars, pending a lengthy jury of his peers. I’m deeply disturbed watching this video and committed to a safe city. pic.twitter.com/eHbjnlEDxd

What you think you might know about Danielle Smith’s Alberta Sovereignty Act is probably wrong. Whatever the demerits of the bill, which enables provincial non-enforcement of federal laws, it is not “unconstitutional.” Nor does it “erase the rule of law,” or empower the legislature to circumvent the courts, as Premier Smith’s critics argue. Those criticisms were valid against earlier versions of this proposal, but have no bearing here.
Alberta RCMP are still investigating several people they believe were issuing orders to the men now accused of plotting to murder Mounties at an anti-pandemic restriction border blockade last winter, newly released court documents show.
Police have identified a suspected leadership team outside of the Coutts border protest site that wanted to see not only vaccine mandates lifted but the “elimination … of the professional political class,” according to the documents.
A historian at Montreal’s Dawson College has filed a human rights complaint over a prestigious job posting that’s open only to women, Indigenous people, those with disabilities and racialized groups.
“I was not able to apply to this job because basically it was specifically written that white males were prohibited from applying,” Bastien said in an interview.
Will Poilievre speak out against this evil? Justin and his puppet won’t that’s a given.
Tesla Motors Canada is asking for more federal subsidies in order to install charging stations “within a reasonable distance” for its electric car customers, says the company’s submission to a parliamentary committee. The proposal, however, means Canadian taxpayers will have to subsidize the installations.
“Approximately 10 million Canadians or about one quarter of all Canadian residents live in multi-unit dwellings including apartments and condominiums,” wrote Tesla management in a submission to the Standing Committee on Finance, obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
So what will happen to all those city Condo dwellers?
It’s likely not practical to refit underground parking spaces to accommodate individual charging stations for each resident.
Do you really want to have to walk or as is more likely take a bus to get to your unattended car?
Electric cars are the come-on of the green-scam.
OTTAWA — The University of Ottawa has issued an apology after preventing the media from filming a speech made by the Chinese ambassador in Canada earlier this week.
“We made the wrong decision at the last moment. We apologize to the media involved. We should have done better to protect the freedom of the press,” said Jacques Frémont, president of the University, in a statement issued on Wednesday.
The number of Russians in favour of continuing the war in Ukraine has fallen dramatically, with just one in four now supporting the conflict, according to leaked Kremlin opinion polls.
In July, 57 per cent of respondents said they wanted to see Russian troops remain in Ukraine. That figure has fallen to 25 per cent. Support for negotiations to end the nine-month conflict has risen from 32 per cent to 55 per cent.

OTTAWA – A firearm advocacy group says the Liberal government’s effort to ban a wide variety of rifles is being driven by ideology, not public safety.
But the federal Liberals say it’s all about prohibiting guns designed to kill people, and hunters will still have thousands of types of rifles and shotguns available to them.
The government wants to include an evergreen definition of a prohibited assault-style firearm in gun-control legislation being studied by the House of Commons public safety committee.
The White House was accused of double standards on Wednesday, as a senior spokesman deflected questions about Apple bowing to Chinese authorities, saying the tech giant was a private company, while the Biden administration says it is monitoring Twitter for misinformation.
During an appearance on Fox News, John Kirby, the National Security Council’s coordinator for strategic communications, said it was a case of comparing ‘apples and oranges.’
Conservatives have expressed fury with the White House, after it said it would be keeping ‘an eye on’ misinformation spread on Twitter, after Elon Musk bought the platform.
The end is nigh. We know this because the United Nations has said so — again.
In its Emissions Gap Report 2022, the UN Environment Programme alarmingly declares that “only an urgent system-wide transformation can avoid climate disaster.” Policies currently in place, the report says, will result in global temperatures rising to 2.8 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
“Often we cannot do anything.”
That was the assessment given to a House of Commons committee earlier this month by Canada’s deputy commissioner of elections, referring to 23 files their office received about potential foreign interference in the country’s two most recent elections.
Elon Musk has been told he faces “huge work ahead” to bring Twitter into compliance with new European rules on disinformation or face a possible ban.
European Union commissioner Thierry Breton made the comments in a meeting with Mr Musk on Wednesday.
He said the social media site would have to address issues such as content moderation, disinformation and targeted adverts.
The back-and-forth comes as the new law is set to go into effect.
