The Nova Scotia RCMP members who first alleged political interference occurred during an inquiry into the largest mass shooting in Canadian history are standing by their claim.
Two letters emerged in recent months that allege then-public safety minister Bill Blair pushed RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to demand Nova Scotia RCMP release details about the firearms used during the shooting spree, which took 22 people’s lives on April 18, 2020.
European statecraft toward the United States is predicated on a toxic mix of sanctimony and free-riding. This is continuing to push the U.S. foreign policy establishment into doubling down on a failed grand strategy that is leading to insolvency.
“To the continent’s eternal shame, as one senior British official told me, the apparently divided, dysfunctional, and declining power of the U.S. has still managed to send drastically more lethal aid to save European democracy than any other NATO power,” wrote Tom McTague in his recent piece for The Atlantic. “The depth of America’s military-industrial complex and the scale of its imperial bureaucracy mean that they are simply too heavy for a single president or Congress to remove in one go.”
Alec Baldwin on Tuesday blasted the media for keeping up its coverage of the investigation into the shooting that killed “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, as he doubled down on his denial that he pulled the trigger of the gun.
In an appearance on the YouTube show “The Chris Cuomo Project,” the disgruntled actor singled out The Post while whining to host Chris Cuomo about the media not dropping the story of the deadly on-set shooting.
“I used to think The Post was something cops would read for the sports page … but I was surprised to learn some of the people who read The Post,” Baldwin said in the episode that aired Tuesday.
The lawyer representing a man accused of pelting Justin Trudeau with pebbles during a London campaign stop last year says he plans to subpoena the prime minister.
Shane Marshall, 26, of St. Thomas, is charged with assault with a weapon after gravel was thrown at Trudeau while he was boarding a bus following a campaign stop outside the London Brewing Co-op on Sept. 6, 2021.
A B.C. man, who was among the first Canadians approved for Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program, says he is frustrated with the length of time it is taking to receive compensation.
Ross Wightman of Lake Country, B.C., was left partially paralysed after receiving a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine in April 2021. Within the first few days of receiving the shot, he had developed severe pain in his lower back and hamstrings.
Veterans Affairs says worker ‘inappropriately’ discussed medically assisted death with veteran
A Canadian Forces veteran seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury was shocked when he was unexpectedly and casually offered medical assistance in dying by a Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) employee, sources tell Global News.
Sources say a VAC service agent brought up medical assistance in dying, or MAID, unprompted in the conversation with the veteran. Global News is not identifying the veteran who was seeking treatment.

They bore the brunt of the near shutdown of the aviation industry. Tens of thousands of pilots, flight attendants, security screeners and baggage handlers were suddenly out of work when passenger travel all but vanished during the early days of the pandemic. Many of them left the industry for good.
Tim Perry, a WestJet pilot and president of the Canadian arm of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), warned politicians 10 months into the pandemic that it would take several years for all those jobs to return without financial aid from Ottawa.
The solution to every problem in Canada is more socialism for corporate Canada.
Technology will ‘make it possible to replace the people’
Top World Economic Forum adviser Yuval Noah Harari has declared in a recent interview that the “vast majority” of the world’s 7.5 billion people are simply no longer needed due to technological advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning and bioengineering.
In one sentence, Harari validated what we “conspiracy theorists” have been saying for years, that globalist power elites want to rid the world of people deemed “useless” in their eyes. That’s why we call them global predators.

The Biden administration moves a step closer to imposing the Golden State’s chaotic independent contractor rules on the nation.
The Biden administration came into office with a sweeping union agenda embodied in the PRO Act, which would have rewritten key elements of decades-old American labor law. Stymied in Congress, however, the administration now seems likely to impose at least one component of that legislation on the workplace through a Department of Labor rule that would narrow the definition of an independent contractor in ways similar to California’s controversial AB5 law. Doing so would likely upset employment policies and practices at a vast array of businesses nationwide, just as has happened in the Golden State, where freelancers lost work because companies couldn’t afford to employ them full-time and truckers recently shut down a port to protest efforts to end their independent status. In the post-Covid world, workers are seeking more flexibility in income-earning. The Biden administration’s effort, which views the independent contractor almost exclusively as an exploited worker denied the benefits of full employment, is a step backward for individual workers—but a gift to unions.
Fox News host Harris Faulkner laid into Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff following reports that his motorcade had blocked access to handicapped parking spaces.
Faulkner discussed the situation with her cohosts on the network’s midday panel show, “Outnumbered,” and suggested that it was proof that “liberal privilege” was a real thing — and it extended to Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Civil liberties require a single standard without regard to party, ideology or person. The right of Nazis to their despicable free speech must be protected with the same vigor as the right of Salman Rushdie. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in particular, and good civil libertarians in general, used to live by that creed. That is what makes them different from special pleaders who limit their advocacy to those who agree or identify with them. This great tradition — that led John Adams to defend the hated British soldiers who were accused of the Boston massacre and led the old ACLU to defend the right of Nazis to march through Skokie, Illinois — has not been evident when it comes to the treatment of Donald Trump. A double standard has been manifested in a number of ways.
After years of Canadians being lectured to by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his various and sundry environment ministers that the only way to effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions is through a national carbon tax, the United States has just passed a US$370 billion climate bill that says it doesn’t need one.
A Chinese woman said she was detained by police for hours and accused of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” for wearing a Japanese kimono and taking photos in a city street.
The woman was wearing the kimono and a wig while cosplaying as a popular character from the manga series Summer Time Rendering. She was taking photos in Suzhou when she and her photographer were approached by a police officer, according to video filmed and shared to social media.
