A man is facing charges after he allegedly assaulted an intruder inside his Lindsay home early Monday morning, police say.
The incident happened at an apartment on Kent Street shortly after 3 a.m.
Police say that the suspect was asleep when he awoke to find an intruder inside his apartment.
Investigators say an altercation ensued and the intruder sustained serious life-threatening injuries as a result.
Toronto is a city that eats its young. And then forgets about them.
Until the next innocent young person is shot to death. Then Toronto says what it needs to say to get through the unspeakable reality before moving on and going back to status quo — albeit without the latest murder victim, of course.
Two truckers have agreed to plead guilty in connection with a scheme to smuggle loads of cocaine from California to Ontario on behalf of fugitive Ryan Wedding’s criminal enterprise, CBC News has learned.
Iqbal Singh Virk and Ranjit Singh Rowal from the Toronto area are the first Canadians to sign plea deals with U.S. prosecutors following the FBI’s sprawling investigation revealed last fall, dubbed “Operation Giant Slalom.”
There are people behind the statistics you see…and the statistics you don’t.
With all the storm and strife about crime in D.C.–the Democrats insist that crime is an illusion and everybody rides unicorns in the District–it’s easy to forget that crime statistics are not just numbers. Every red dot on a map or number in a chart represents a life that was ended, or at least upended.
As dusk approaches in Bournemouth, nine men and one woman are gathered in a town centre car park. All are dressed in black, wearing dark blue tabards with the words “Safeguard Force”. They are about to set off on their evening patrol in an area where, the group says, “our streets are not safe” and “our women walk in fear”. Tonight’s volunteers are a mixed bunch, but there’s a preponderance of tattoos, powerful frames and bulging muscles.
“We don’t like the word ‘vigilantes’, don’t like it at all,” says Gary Bartlett, the group’s founder. It’s a word some in the town are using to describe the group, but others appear to be welcoming them with open arms. There is, many believe, something rotten at the heart of Bournemouth, and the hope is that Bartlett and his friends can help to fix it.
The five most dangerous cities in the United States have been revealed – and they are all run by Democrats.
Memphis, Tennessee, has been ranked as America’s most dangerous city in a report by US News and World Report, as its unemployment rate remains higher than average and household median incomes sit more than $26,000 below the national average.
The report determined the city’s danger levels based on ‘each city’s murder and property crime rates per 100,000 people’ obtained through FBI crime reports.
When Donald Trump’s Department of Justice requested the release of grand jury transcripts in criminal proceedings against sex-traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the move did little to quiet an ever-growing chorus of critics frustrated by the US president’s backtracking over disclosing investigative files.
Indeed, the justice department’s filings in this request revealed that only two law enforcement officers testified during grand jury proceedings in New York, undermining notions that unsealing them would reveal numerous truths.
Toronto police say a child is dead after an early Saturday morning shooting.
Officers responded to the sound of gunshots around 12:30 a.m. at Martha Eaton Way and Trethewey Dr. on the north side of the city.
VICTORIA — The head of the Canada’s police chiefs association says they are guided by “outdated and inadequate” laws that were never designed to take on the current criminal landscape that no longer respects international borders.
Thomas Carrique, president of the Association of Chiefs of Police, said police would have been in a better place to “disrupt” transnational crime, if the federal government had listened to his group in 2001, when it last proposed legislative changes.
Canada’s federal prison system now employs more staff than it houses inmates, according to newly released Correctional Service figures, raising fresh concerns about the soaring cost of the country’s penal system.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Correctional Service Canada (CSC) reported having more than 20,000 employees, compared to 14,837 inmates held across 43 federal penitentiaries. Another 8,717 individuals are currently on parole in the community. The system operates with a $3.9 billion annual budget.
As a part of the White House press pool, I crammed into a frigid van on Saturday morning, toward the back of President Trump’s motorcade en route to his Virginia golf course. We passed a grimy tent encampment on our way out of the city, and I wondered to myself whether Trump was peering out the window.
My question seemed to be answered the following day. On Truth Social, the president posted pictures likely taken from the motorcade that morning or the next, as he returned for another round of golf. Alongside images of roadside tents and trash, Trump wrote, “We’re having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House. I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.” Sure enough, at a marathon briefing on Monday morning, Trump announced that he was placing the DC police force under federal control and deploying the National Guard to secure streets long blighted by disorder — and bloodied by the fourth highest homicide rate in the nation.
At first, I hardly noticed the encampment. My parents dropped me off for college at Foggy Bottom 14 years ago this month, and as far as I can remember, tents have dotted that part of the city ever since. But rumours were swirling that a federal takeover of DC was imminent, so I spent the ride thinking back on the last decade.
In a Monday morning press conference, President Donald Trump announced new, decisive action to quell crime and violence in the District of Columbia. Flanked by Cabinet officials, the president indicated that he will not only deploy National Guardsmen to the city but also temporarily federalize the D.C. police department (MPD) under an obscure provision of the District’s home rule law.
The federal Conservative party has joined the chorus of voices calling for the India-based Lawrence Bishnoi gang to be added to Canada’s list of terrorist organizations.
The gang is suspected to be behind the surge of extortion threats in B.C., Alberta and Ontario that have terrified the South Asian community.
Ethnic pandering.
Colombian senator and presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe has died two months after being shot in the head in a targeted attack which shocked the South American nation.
The 39-year-old was hit by three bullets – two of them in the head and one in the leg – at a campaign rally on 7 June in the capital, Bogotá.
His wife confirmed his death on social media, paying tribute to “the love of my life”.
Tweet translation – “Miguel Uribe Turbay, leader of the Colombian right, passed away after two months of hospitalization.
This is how he was shot by an infiltrator at his last campaign rally”

On Tuesday, the FBI released its annual update on American crime trends, estimated from police department reports covering 2024. The big headline: America’s murder rate stood at five per 100,000 last year. This was well below its 2020–21 surge of around 6.5, a 15 percent decrease from 2023, and even a touch below the 2019 rate.
The murder spike that began in 2020 is officially over.
