Video shows ‘zombie’ drug addicts sheltering in Edmonton bus station

Terrifying video has emerged of drug addicts at a bus station waiting room just hours before children made their way to school.

The disturbing footage, reminiscent of the television show The Walking Dead, was shot at Clareview bus station in Edmonton, Canada, a city of one million people, with city officials seemingly powerless to do anything about it.

The 15-second viral clip online sees seven addicts behaving more like zombies as a couple are seen slowly moving around the room in a stupor.

ANALYSIS: In Northern Ontario, peril for Liberals, opportunity for Conservatives, NDP

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre opens a week of campaigning for votes in Northern Ontario on Monday with a rally in Fort Frances, Ont., in the riding of Thunder Bay—Rainy River, a region that a small-c conservative candidate has not won since 1930.

The incumbent MP for the riding, a Liberal and former emergency room physician Marcus Powlowski, is not surprised at Poilievre’s chutzpah, looking for enough votes in a riding to do what no leader of a conservative party has done in 90 years — namely, win over the voters in this vast riding, which includes the Fort William part of Thunder Bay, Atikokan, Rainy River, and Fort Frances.

New DND strategy warns Canadian military’s approach to artificial intelligence ‘fragmented’

Canada’s defence department and military are approaching the implementation and use of artificial intelligence in a “fragmented,” unco-ordinated manner, says a newly prepared federal strategy.

The long-awaited overview of how to deal with rapidly evolving machine-learning technology is being met with mixed reviews by some high-tech and civil society experts who had been expecting more clarity on where the country stands and how far it’s prepared to go.

The strategy is candid, saying neither the Department of National Defence (DND) nor the Canadian Armed Forces is “positioned to adopt and take advantage of AI.”

Fraser Institute: Canada’s living standards are falling behind the rest of the developed world

This month, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland proclaimed that “Canada is the best country in the world.” But it’s a hard statement to square with the evidence. Canadians are getting poorer relative to their peers in many other countries and our living standards are falling. This trend is expected to continue well into the future, unless our policymakers make significant changes.

Pierre Poilievre makes his case for dismantling what the Trudeau government has built

TLN aired an interview with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his wife, Anaida, on the weekend. If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tuned in, it must have ruined his vacation. Should the Conservatives win the next election, little of what Mr. Trudeau’s Liberal government enacted will survive.

Mr. Poilievre rarely grants interviews with the major networks or news publications. But he is open to speaking with other media, including ones aimed at various ethnic communities. The half-hour program on TLN, hosted by Camila Gonzalez, aired Saturday and Sunday evening, and will also be available on YouTube.

The LPC hasn’t built anything other than a mountain of debt.

His group plans to build its own school, hospital and mosque on the island, where it intends to practice sharia law.

‘Bit of political theatre:’ Grocers are facing government crackdowns, but will it lead to change?

In March 2023, executives from Canada’s three largest grocery companies paid a visit to Parliament Hill.

Michael Medline, Galen Weston and Eric La Fleche had been summoned before a House of Commons committee to answer questions about their companies’ rising profits. Facing MPs, they denied accusations of raising prices beyond what inflation warranted.

With Trudeau’s Liberals in trouble, is Mark Carney the answer?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals remain deeply unpopular, currently trailing Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives by as many as 17 points in the polls, after more than a year of lagging behind.

If an election was held today, the Conservatives would likely trounce the Liberals and cruise to a majority government, with polling aggregator 338Canada projecting the Conservatives would win 212 seats, based on the current polling data. The Liberals would win just 74 seats.

How Trump’s promise of mass deportations could affect Canada’s border

It was 2017 when Canadians first began to hear of an obscure border crossing near Hemmingford, Que., that was witnessing an unusually high number of illegal crossings on foot.

Large numbers of Haitians, many of them families dragging heavy suitcases, were flying from homes in Florida and New York City to upstate Plattsburgh, N.Y., and then taking a taxi to the tiny farming community of Mooers, N.Y.

Roxham Road would soon become a major news story and a political issue.

RUBENSTEIN: Should we gladly invite Palestinians to Canada?

“Their presence will simply make life intolerable for Canadians – particularly Jewish Canadians.”

More than 3,000 Gazans to date have been approved for visas to enter Canada, says a Department of Immigration briefing note, just released by Blacklocks Reporter.

“Canada is the only country in the world with a dedicated pathway for extended family members of its citizens or permanent residents in Gaza,” said the May 27 briefing note. Cabinet “recognizes the situation in Gaza and we are being as flexible as possible to help as many extended family member of Canadians affected by the conflict,” it said.
