The federal head of the German police union has largely blamed migrant-background youths for a mass brawl at a Berlin swimming pool over the weekend, stating that politicians “shy away” from the backgrounds of those involved.
Much has been written in recent days about the prospect the Liberals are heading for defeat at the next election.
The oracle of Delphi couldn’t come to any firm conclusion on a vote that might be three years away, possibly between politicians not currently leading their parties.
But the Trudeau government’s performance in recent months has been as listless as it has been inept. When things are going well, governments find their mistakes are often glossed over. Conversely, when they are in trouble, they are magnified. Right now, lack of preparation is meeting reality.
Podcaster Joe Rogan slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his recent comments that Canadians do not have the right to own a firearm for self-defense.
On last Tuesday’s episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ Rogan played a clip of Trudeau’s appearance on the podcast ‘Pod Save the World,’ during an interview with his guest and gun rights activist Colion Noir.
OK, I admit it. Maybe “retract” was an overstatement.
Brodie Fenlon, the editor-in-chief of CBC News has written to all MPs and senators complaining that “misinformation about CBC News reporting continues to bubble up in certain Canadian publications and political venues.”
The vast majority of Canadian households, especially those with kids, are worried about feeding their families amid decades-high inflation, according to a new survey.
Polling from Ipsos conducted exclusively for Global News earlier this month shows that 72 per cent of families with kids are worried about putting food on the table after inflation hit decades-high levels of 6.8 per cent in April. That compares with 57 per cent of households without children.
Canada voted in favour of a controversial gender policy announced this week by the world governing body of swimming.
In a policy that went into effect Monday, FINA allows only transgender swimmers who transition from male to female before age 12 to compete in women’s events.
FINA is contemplating the establishment of an open-competition category.
The head of the RCMP is denying a claim by a fellow Mountie that she tried to direct the information investigators released as part of their probe into the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia.
That allegation was contained in handwritten notes from Nova Scotia RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell which were released Tuesday as part of the Mass Casualty Commission probe.
The commission is investigating the April 18-19, 2020 rampage that claimed the lives of 22 people — including a pregnant woman — and left several people injured and several homes destroyed. The commission released a report Tuesday on the way the RCMP and government communicated with the public about the incident.
Is there simply no level of scandal that can bring the @JustinTrudeau government down? Every week something happens that in normal times would force Parliamentary dissolution https://t.co/TpDaXqz0Wx

President Joe Biden will implore Congress to suspend federal gas and diesel taxes for the three months ending September amid record-high prices at the pump and record-low approval ratings before November’s midterm elections.
Biden will make the pitch to lawmakers in remarks Wednesday, although senior administration officials concede it “alone won’t fix the problem we face, but it will provide families a little breathing room.”
Gas tax break ‘would be irresponsible’ now, federal minister says, as Liberals focus on other priorities
OTTAWA — The federal government has no immediate plans to cut prices at the pump by offering Canadians a temporary reprieve from the federal gas tax, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Tuesday.
We obviously are not yet poor enough.
A powerful earthquake has killed at least 920 people and left hundreds more injured in Afghanistan, Taliban officials say.
Pictures show landslides and ruined mud-built homes in eastern Paktika province, where rescuers are scrambling to treat the injured.
In remote areas, helicopters have been ferrying victims to hospitals.
Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada said hundreds of houses were destroyed and the death toll was likely to rise.
I’m certain all Muslim nations will be sending aid immediately.
Conservative leadership hopeful Pierre Poilievre is threatening to remove direct federal research and other grants from Canadian universities if they do not commit to protect academic freedom and free speech from “campus gatekeepers.”
He’d better cuz the Little Hitlers want him cancelled.
Russian mercenaries have mounted a series of bloody attacks on artisanal mines in the lawless border zones between Sudan and Central African Republic (CAR) in an effort to plunder the region’s valuable gold trade, witnesses and experts have said.
Dozens of miners are thought to have died in at least three major attacks this year allegedly involving mercenaries working for the Wagner Group, a private military company that has been linked to the Kremlin by western officials. There are also reports of further attacks on mines in at least six other places across CAR.
College Green is part of Bristol’s university district, and usually it is a sleepy part of town, with students catching up on their reading or gathering to do homework. But on June 19, a mob of activists wearing black masks (perhaps for their safety, but certainly not for anyone else’s) and balaclavas gathered to target a lecture held by a 60 women’s rights activists with Standing for Women in honor of Father’s Day. They screamed, jostled, and threatened. Police had to be called in to hold them back.
The activists, called together by the Bristol Anarchist Federation, were trans activists, and the reason for their rage was that the targeted women refused to recognize biological men as women.

It would be a mistake for U.S. policymakers to assume that European allies will continue to view it as in their best interests to follow Washington’s lead.
U.S. policymakers often point to the Western sanctions levied on Russia as evidence of a unified international response to the war in Ukraine. For example, when asked by a reporter last week about whether French president Emmanuel Macron’s peace overtures raised concerns that transatlantic unity could hold up “under pressure,” U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Michael Carpenter responded by pointing to the European Union’s (EU) six sanctions packages as evidence that there is “tremendous unity” with only “occasional differences on tactics.”
A Utah man who says he wanted to prove that he shouldn’t be able to have a gun may get his wish now that he’s been charged with a felony.
Police in Tooele County, Utah say that 33-year-old Spenser Terrell Thomas was arrested on Saturday after pointing what appeared to be a firearm at a local police officer. Thomas was apparently riding an electric scooter down the road when he spotted the officer and approached him.
Why aren’t we talking about the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice?
Imagine this scenario. It’s 2015. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is standing up for women’s bodily autonomy. She gives an interview to MSNBC in which she says every woman in America must have the right to a ‘safe abortion’ if she wants one. The pro-life lobby takes umbrage. Activists turn up at Ginsburg’s home and wave placards and shout slogans. They holler ‘Shame!’ as Ginsburg hides inside. Finally they leave, but one pro-life agitator feels so energised by the anti-Ginsburg fury that he decides he must kill the evil, baby-murdering justice. He goes to her home with zip ties, pepper spray, a hammer, duct tape and a gun. The only thing that stops him from carrying out his heinous deed is the presence of two marshals near the Ginsburg residence. The aspiring murderer leaves, bitter that he was unable to slaughter a judge for her political views.
