Outside a fast food resto, officers found a man in a car who had been shot multiple times. The end for Malachi Elijah Bainbridge, 19, came at the scene of the crime.

Employees in the Ontario government are enjoying a wage premium and receiving more generous benefits over their private sector counterparts, a new study by think tank the Fraser Institute says.
Published on Jan. 24, the study finds that the wages of government workers in Ontario are 34.4 percent higher, on average, than wages in the private sector in 2021, based on aggregated data obtained from Statistics Canada’s monthly “Labour Force Survey” from January to December of 2021.
This is how nations are destroyed.
In Ottawa, Wellington Street has always been an odd duck.
It’s the home address of Parliament, the Prime Minister’s Office and the Supreme Court of Canada, among other notables on the world’s most earnest celebrity-sightings map. It has some of the touristy pomp you’d expect of an official promenade, but it’s also an ordinary commuter artery. And so it’s possible to see Justin Trudeau climbing out of a tinted-window SUV on his way into his office while being delayed getting to your own, all on the same block.
For the first time in a decade, Canada has fallen out of the top 10 of the freest countries on earth, according to a new study by two conservative think tanks.
As many as 62 per cent of respondents described current economic condition in Canada as “bad” or “very bad”, up five points since Research Co. conducted a similar story in July 2022. In addition, just 35 per cent of Canadians (down five points) rate the economic conditions tight now as “very good” or “good”.
When it comes to their own personal finances, 51 per cent of respondents described their personal finances as “very good” or “good,” which is down six points, while 47 per cent (up six points) defined them as “poor” or “very poor.”
OTTAWA — Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine last year, Christine McGuire’s museum began receiving inquiries unlike anything she’d previously encountered during her career.
“We had people asking us if we still functioned as a fallout shelter,” said Ms. McGuire, the executive director of Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum. “That fear is still very real for people. It seems to have come back into the public psyche.”
The Diefenbunker still has most of the form and features of the nuclear fallout shelter it once was for Canadian government and military V.I.P.s. But the underground complex, decommissioned in 1994, has shifted from being a functioning military asset to being a potent symbol of a return to an age when the world’s destruction again seems a real possibility with a nuclear-armed Russia raising the specter of using the weapons.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a group of protesters who swarmed him outside a Hamilton, Ont. restaurant on Tuesday a “handful of angry people.”
Video posted to social media, shows the prime minister walking into Jackson Square, a plaza located near James Street and York Boulevard, while a large group of people yell, swear and call on him to resign.
Uniformed officers are seen protecting Trudeau, ensuring he’s able to walk through the street safely.

OTTAWA – The Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point Wednesday and said it expects this to be the last rate hike of the cycle.
The rate increase marks the eighth consecutive hike since March as the central bank fights off decades-high inflation.
Its key interest rate now stands at 4.5 per cent, the highest it’s been since 2007.
Government workers in Ontario make more money, take more sick days off, are less likely to be laid off, have better pensions and retire earlier compared to private sector employees, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
It’s been hailed as a global precedent on the rights of citizens imprisoned overseas in “dire” conditions without trial.
But debate has already begun over the legal and safety implications of a Federal Court decision that ordered the government to repatriate from northern Syria four men suspected of having been members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
They are not victims. They are murder loving scum who willingly joined a death cult.
Offload them onto the tarmac, have them commit suicide with a bullet to the back of the head then roll them into the ditch for local scavengers.
OTTAWA – Cameroon’s state-affiliated newspaper says the country’s government never authorized Canada to lead peace talks aimed at ending an escalating conflict in the west-central African country.
Ottawa announced last Friday that it has been hosting talks with the government of Cameroon and various factions to come up with a peace process for a political resolution to the crisis.
Yet the country’s state-affiliated newspaper, the Cameroon Tribune, said the government had mandated “no external mediator” for negotiations to end the conflict.
Good thing they caught her, she’s already had 3 meetings!
OTTAWA – A court action has prompted the federal government to begin repatriating several Canadians detained in Syria, but the fate of many other citizens trapped there remains unclear.
A Federal Court judge declared last week that four Canadian men being held in Syrian camps are entitled to the federal government’s help to return home.
Meantime, the government reached an agreement with one of the lawyers behind the case to begin the process of repatriating six Canadian women and 13 children from northeastern Syria.
Farida Deif, Canada director of the group Human Rights Watch, says there are believed to be about 27 other Canadian detainees in Syria.
What a stupid government.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s making sure “all rules” were followed in the decision to give $103,050 in contracts to a foodie firm with family ties to Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen’s senior staffer.
Global News reported Thursday that Hussen’s office awarded $93,050 in communications contracts to Munch More Media, a Toronto-based firm focused on the food and restaurant industry. The taxpayer funds came from his constituency office budget, not his ministerial budget.
Justin will be calling us racists any minute now.
What goes up doesn’t necessarily come down.
That’s contrary to the sentiment of a surprisingly large proportion of respondents to the Bank of Canada’s quarterly consumer expectations survey, released last week.
According to the survey, more than a quarter of Canadians believe that current decades-high prices will drop five years from now.
