Legendary New York Police Detective and Medal of Honor recipient Frank Serpico has praised the Ottawa Police Service for publicly broadcasting the disciplinary hearing against Detective Helen Grus.
On September 9, 2022, Frank Serpico posted on his Twitter account that the public broadcasting of the Detective Grus Internal Hearing was a “breakthrough in Police transparency.”
An internal audit by Veterans Affairs Canada suggests the federal government has all but lost control as it shells out hundreds of millions of dollars for veterans’ medical marijuana each year without proper oversight, direction or evidence of health benefits.
Quietly published this week, the audit’s results come amid an explosion in the number of veterans seeking reimbursement for their medical pot, from around 100 in 2014 to more than 18,000 last year — with no end to the surge in sight.
No one ever gets fired for being incompetent. I can see why these public servants merit a holiday Monday.
Shareef Abdelhaleem, one of the Toronto 18 terror plotters who tried to detonate large bombs in 2006 has been denied full parole despite his gregarious chat with parole board officials.

It was the first time many Ontarians had received an emergency alert on their phones notifying them of an “active shooter.”
The notification, sent at 4:25 p.m. on Monday, said that Peel Regional Police were investigating the situation and a suspect was “armed and dangerous” and in a stolen vehicle. “If seen, do not approach,” it added. What the alert did not include was the location or model of the suspect’s car; a link attached to the message didn’t seem to be working for many residents.
BOSTON (AP) — Federal officials are examining whether the employee who reported an explosion at Northeastern University may have lied to investigators and staged the incident, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
Investigators identified inconsistencies in the employee’s statement and became skeptical because his injuries did not match wounds typically consistent with an explosion, said one official.
The officials could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
America’s majority faith has an uncertain future — the share of Christians is set to fall to as low as 35 percent by 2070 as millions become agnostic, atheist or unaffiliated, a study of religious trends shows.
Pew Research Center says the number of U.S. adults identifying as Christian has dropped from 90 percent in the 1990s to 64 percent now, and will likely trend downwards into a minority faith over the coming decades.
The decline is due to Christians switching to ‘nones’ — a secular mishmash of atheists, agnostics and those with no religious identity — which is set to grow from about 30 percent nowadays to as much as 52 percent by 2070.
Commentators who insist Canadians will never vote for a true conservative – and I would estimate that that is the majority of people in my profession, plus most academics who speak to the media – forget Stephen Harper won three elections, including one majority. (In case you’re keeping score, that’s the same record as Justin Trudeau.)
The RCMP has an uneven record when it comes to implementing recommendations and guidelines following tragedies, according to a CBC News analysis.
And that raises concerns as the inquiry into the Nova Scotia mass shooting winds down and a probe of the horrific recent stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan gets underway.
Ten people were left dead and another 18 were injured in the James Smith Cree Nation area and in the nearby village of Weldon, Sask., over the Labour Day weekend. Those numbers do not include Myles Sanderson and Damien Sanderson, who were facing charges tied to the rampage before they died last week.
Almost two years ago, community measures including lockdowns to suppress COVID transmission had widespread support, with a movement (“COVID Zero”) that promoted more draconian measures, hoping to eliminate COVID altogether. Schools, institutions of higher learning and businesses were shuttered. Even playgrounds and outdoor washrooms were closed, and youths simply enjoying outdoor summer parties were vilified. Most of these measures were ineffective, many were harmful. Has anything been learned from these mistakes or will they be repeated the next time case counts go up? We have some thoughts for the future.
Green energy is the pipe-dream of coastal elitists, billion-dollar grifters, Big Government idolizers, idle urbanites, and just plain malinformed people who think electricity comes out of the wall.
Welcome to Harvard!
“Fatphobia” and “cisheterosexism” perpetuate “violence.” “Using the wrong pronouns” constitutes “abuse.” And “any words used to lower a person’s self-worth” are “Verbal Abuse.” Those are just a handful of the things the school told all undergraduate students in a mandatory Title IX training session, according to materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Under Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL has become a threat to Jews.
The latest numbers show that only 1 of the 118 thugs arrested for assaulting Jews in New York City since 2018 was sentenced to actual prison time. While attacks on Jews tripled, the ADL is promoting police defunding in its curriculum. The lesson’s only mention of crime proposes that it can be fought through police defunding by “investing more money in education, health care.”
Ukrainian astronomers say the skies over their war-torn country are crowded not only with Russian missiles, but a large number of UFOs.
The surprising claims were outlined in a new research paper published by the Main Astronomical Observatory of Ukraine’s National Academy of Science.
