Surrey city council has unanimously passed a motion introduced by Mayor Brenda Locke calling on the federal government to declare a national state of emergency over the extortion crisis.
Nearly 40 extortion-related incidents have been reported in Surrey this month alone, many of them violent.
Last week, Dr. Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said there was significant Medicare/Medicaid fraud in California related to hospice services. We’re not really surprised to find massive fraud happening under Gavin Newsom’s watch. The guy was given tens of millions of dollars to end homelessness in the state. That money is gone, but homelessness has gotten worse, and we can connect those dots.
As the Conservatives prepare for their annual convention in Calgary this weekend, hostile voices are trying to undermine them. They are being told to be less hard-edged, to reject populism, to be respectable “team players.”
Yet rejecting populism would be a disaster, one that would destroy all the rebuilding accomplished by the party since 2022. Roughly four in 10 Canadians back the party, and the base itself is strongly supportive of leader Pierre Poilievre.

Harrowing new footage appears to show Alex Pretti spitting at ICE agents and smashing the taillights of their black SUV during a chaotic confrontation more than a week before he was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis.
The video, which the BBC said it has verified, apparently captured the ICU nurse screaming at a federal agents while they were driving away during a heated Jan. 13 protest before kicking the back of the car, prompting officers to exit and tackle him to the ground, according to The News Movement.

The petulance displayed by the U.S. ambassador to Canada is exactly what you might expect from Pete Hoekstra if he had just been informed that Canada intends to spend half the money earmarked for new F-35 fighter jets on the rival Swedish Gripen.
Hoekstra apparently skipped the class on diplomacy being about saying the nastiest thing in the nicest way. Instead, he threatened that there would be consequences for the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD), if Canada did not buy 88 F-35A fighter jets, as the Trudeau government said it would in December 2022 (after initially cancelling the project in 2015).
An unhinged Virginia nurse who encouraged medical professionals to drug ICE agents with paralytic meds was swiftly canned.
Malinda Cook, a nurse anesthetist at Virginia Commonwealth University Health, was fired by the hospital on Tuesday after she spewed the disturbing remarks in a spate of TikTok videos.
This chick has lost the plot. Her sanity.
Malinda Cook works at VCU Health. Americans are not safe around her. It would be a shame if she was fired and her license revoked.
This calls for attempted m*rder. Another person for the DOJ to look at.
Why is it always healthcare… pic.twitter.com/35kOYL8JNE

“Russia is without question a threat in the Arctic,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this month at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Without question, Russia does lots of horrible things.”
Russia, despite all the horrible things it does, is not able to challenge Canada without its partner. Carney was quick to name China as the biggest security threat to his country during a federal election debate last April. At Davos, however, he was not willing to talk about China posing a danger to his country.
Moreover, his foreign affairs minister was similarly reluctant. Anita Anand in Davos did not name names when reporters asked her to cite the top threat facing Canada.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is facing a backlash after saying that the European Union should “keep on dreaming” about becoming independent from the United States, its largest ally, in matters related to security and defence.
His comments came on the heels of US President Donald Trump’s attempt to seize Greenland from Denmark through punitive measures, an unprecedented dispute that brought the nearly 80-year-old transatlantic alliance to the brink of collapse.
Statistics Canada has released new population projections that paint a picture of a rapidly changing Canada over the next half-century.
The latest projections, covering the period from 2025 to 2075, suggest Canada’s population – estimated at 41.7 million in mid-2025 – will continue to grow under all scenarios examined by the agency.
Under a medium-growth scenario, the total population could reach 57.4 million in 2075, while a high-growth pathway projects the population could climb as high as 75.8 million by the same year.
As PJ Media previously reported, on Tuesday evening, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was attacked during her first in-person town hall of 2026 in north Minneapolis when a disheveled man sprayed her with an unknown liquid from what police described as a syringe while she was calling for the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
A Conservative MP sounded the alarm that Liberals might be flip-flopping on a promise not to ban Elon Musk’s X social media platform after Canada’s Artificial Intelligence Minister said the government is now “investigating” it yet again.
Speaking to reporters last Friday, Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon told reporters that the “Privacy Commissioner has started an investigation into X.”
On Tuesday, The View continued with ABC’s full court press to mislead the public about what was actually happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Intentionally ignoring the riot at a hotel where Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were staying, an ICE agent getting his finger bitten off, an agent getting beating with shovels, and the other clashes with agents, moderator Whoopi Goldberg falsely claimed the residents of the far-left city never got violent and commended them for it.
Mark Carney smirked as he sat down after answering the first question that opposition leader Pierre Poilievre had put to him. While Poilievre was asking about the very real issue of food inflation, grocery prices continue to rise; Carney had offered to introduce the Conservative leader to Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
