The Swedish security police Säpo arrested two Afghans, a man and a woman, during the Easter holiday on suspicion of plotting a terror attack in Stockholm county.
Säpo announced the arrests earlier this week, saying that they took place on the morning of Good Friday following a police operation in the Stockholm region.
When Premier Doug Ford asked people to stay at home, it likely didn’t occur to many it would also apply to a man accused of trying to kill a Toronto cop.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, on whether to grant bail for a man charged with attempted murder in the stabbing of a Toronto cop, the court must decide between an accused’s health and safety and that of the public.
HUNTINGTON BEACH (CNS) — Huntington Beach police are planning a ramped- up presence Sunday in the event of a potential square-off between attendees at a planned “White Lives Matter” rally and counter-protesters.
Police would not provide specifics of their plan to monitor the rally, other than to say “increased staffing of public safety personnel” is expected.
“There will be a large contingent of police officers working in the area, along with various assets including a regional mounted unit and aviation assets,” Huntington Beach police Lt. Brian Smith said. “Additional resources from allied agencies will also be on standby should the need arise, which is common practice for large planned events, including sporting events, community events, rallies and protests.”
The Anti-Defamation League called on Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson on Friday, after the host said Democrats are deliberately using immigrants to dilute the power of U.S. voters, a statement the ADL said was a nod to the white supremacist “replacement” theory.
The ADL aspires to be the SPLC.
It was only a matter of time before the left-wing cancel mob came for Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood’s 2008 movie about a bigoted retired autoworker and his Asian Hmong neighbors. The racial epithets spewed by protagonist Walt Kowalski are so prolific that it’s hard to imagine the movie being released under today’s ultra-woke Hollywood standards.
Yup. That’s where Kath got the inscription on her marker.
For the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak began, Canada’s rate of new cases of the novel coronavirus has eclipsed that of the United States.
An analysis of numbers collected by Our World In Data now shows that on Friday, Canada reported 205.73 new cases per million on a rolling seven-day average, relative to the country’s population, while the United States sat at 205.12.
Police visited the L.A. home of a podcaster this week a day after after he posted a tweet criticizing AOC and her comments on Israel and Palestine.
Ryan Wentz runs the online show Soapbox and tweets under the handle Queelamode.
On April 7, he posted a link to an interview where AOC stumbled and struggled to answer questions on how to resolve peace in the Middle East. Wentz called her answers ‘incredibly underwhelming’.
In April, US President Joe Biden issued his Interim National Security Strategic Guidance. Across the Atlantic, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson presented the Integrated Review of Security, Defense, Development and Foreign Policy to parliament. Both leaders expressed concern over the increasing challenges in the gray zone and promised measures to respond more effectively.
The gray zone is the space between peace and war involving coercive actions that fall outside normal geopolitical competition between states but do not reach the level of armed conflict. Actions in the gray zone are conducted by states often using proxies including terrorists, and also by terrorist organizations in their own right. Gray zone actions are aggressive and often ambiguous, deniable and opaque. They are intended to damage, coerce or influence, to destabilise target states or undermine the international status quo. They usually seek to avoid a significant military response, though are often designed to intimidate and deter a target state by threatening further escalation.
If you haven’t been following the COVID-19 twists and turns, we are now into wave three. I’m pretty sure we lost the plot back in wave one.
COVID-19 started with Canadian public health officials assuring us that they had the global pandemic under control. Then the plot suddenly twisted, sending everyone into dead panic, shocked by the possibility of overflowing hospitals.
Sixteen years ago, a handsome man in his 50s, who had been a big deal in the United Kingdom, addressed a Liberal policy convention. He was distinguished and impressive and he possessed the political allure that comes with having been a great success at something other than politics. Though he did not admit to having any ambitions for public office, he was already being touted as a potential successor to the prime minister of the day.
Less than a year later, Michael Ignatieff was the Liberal MP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore. Four years after that, he was leader of the Liberal party.
But the less said about what happened after that, the better.
Freeland is the anointed one, good luck with that.
Hundreds of activists are digging in at logging road blockades across a swath of southern Vancouver Island, vowing to stay as long as it takes to pressure the provincial government to immediately halt cutting of what they say is the last 3% of giant old growth trees left in the province.
The situation echoes the 1993 “war in the woods” in nearby Clayoquot Sound, which saw nearly 1,000 people arrested at similar logging blockades in the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history.
Swedish teen environmental activist Greta Thunberg said she is skipping the United Nation’s climate conference in Scotland over concerns about the inequality in COVID-19 vaccine access.
“Of course I would love to attend the Glasgow #COP26,” Thunberg said on Twitter.
India’s devastating second COVID-19 wave correlated with the sudden spike in infected passengers from that country arriving at Canadian airports.
And that wave, say Indian health officials, is being fuelled by a recently-discovered ‘double-mutation’ strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus — a variant that combines two mutations only previously found in separate strains that increase infectiousness and resistance to antibodies.

COVID-19: Ontarians push back against companies denying them access to ‘non-essential’ goods
Colero, who uses the pronouns they and them, claimed the ODSP only provides them with just under $1,200 a month and said they depend on stores like Dollarama to get their supplies.
They also claimed Dollarama has closed off access to aisles with many supplies they need and can’t afford to purchase elsewhere.
“Cleaning supplies, menstrual products, paper towels, tissues, tin foil,” Colero told Global News. “I love Dollarama because everything there is a good price and that’s really what we need, because on ODSP, we have to budget so carefully.”
I’m hoarding what’s left, Buddy needs toys.
