Multiple people have been hurt in a stabbing rampage in Vancouver, cops have said.
Vancouver Police said officers were responding to a ‘violent incident’ near Robson Street and Hamilton Street in the city’s downtown just after 3pm on Wednesday.
‘A number of people have been stabbed, and the suspect has been shot by police. We’ll provide more info when it’s available,’ the department said on X.
That last bit made me laugh out loud.
The Soros-funded attorneys in Manhattan are throwing all they’ve got against Daniel Penny to see what sticks: race was obviously not a factor, a reality with which no one disagrees (there are no “hate crime” charges), but that seems to be the prosecution’s concluding gambit. Here’s what Alvin Bragg’s surrogate Dafna Yoran had to say in her closing arguments, via a report out at Fox News today…
The numbers often aren’t strictly comparable, given differences in definitions, but rates of growth are, and they aren’t favourable
Here in Canada, with our mantra of “peace, order and good government,” we view our country as a peaceable kingdom marked by less crime than our American cousins, with their “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Much of our self-assurance on this point is because, as noted in a new study of mine published by the Fraser Institute, homicides rates have always been higher in the United States than in Canada.
In February 2021, a sinister plot to assassinate two Iranian dissidents living in the U.S. state of Maryland was underway.
The alleged hired guns were two Canadian criminals — Damian Ryan, a full patch member of the Hells Angels, and Adam Pearson. They had been recruited by Naji Sharifi Zindashti, a drug trafficker close to the Iranian regime, according to a U.S. indictment.
They communicated with each other on highly secure phones using Sky ECC, an encrypted messaging platform developed by Sky Global in Vancouver.
Residents in Oakville, Ont. are on high alert as break-ins targeting homes backing onto green spaces and trail systems have surged since October.
For Maqsood Soomro, whose home borders a green space, the break ins have been an ongoing horror. His property has been targeted three times, with the most recent incident involving an attempt to steal his car, despite having a mobilizer installed.
“They think they can get away with it,” Soomro said. “My family is very uncomfortable now, I’m sure it will happen again.”
Montreal news outlet La Presse says a hit man offered $100,000 to have one of its crime reporters assassinated.
La Presse says convicted killer Frédérick Silva, who turned police informant in 2022, confessed to issuing the contract in 2021 on investigative reporter Daniel Renaud, but the hit was never carried out.
While the homicide rate in the U.S. markedly exceeds Canada’s, a new study by Lakehead University economics professor Livio Di Matteo, done for the Fraser Institute, says both property crime rates and overall violent crime rates are now higher in Canada than in the U.S.

Police say 24 arrested, 172 charges laid in Hamilton street gang investigation
Police in Hamilton, Ont., say two dozen people have been arrested and 172 charges have been laid in an investigation into a street gang allegedly responsible for violent crime across the province.
They say the investigation, dubbed Project Churchill, began in 2019 when police noted a “significant rise” in violent crime in downtown Hamilton linked to a gang self-identified as the Hot Mali Squad.
American justice has become politicized — a weapon against enemies with hall passes for favored groups. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and dozens of big city, George Soros-funded leftist district attorneys routinely prosecute innocent citizens while letting criminals walk free.
The actions of these powerful officers of the law fit a pattern that the great Soviet-era Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn not only would have recognized, but he also detailed.
The District of Columbia’s attorney general on Monday sued an activist known for his calls to abolish the police, saying that he diverted $75,000 from a charity to pay for mansion rentals, a trip to Cancún and designer clothes.
Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb, an elected Democrat who oversees nonprofits in the city, said Brandon Anderson had turned an anti-police-brutality charity called Raheem AI into a piggy bank for himself.
Mr. Schwalb also sued Raheem AI. He asked a judge to shutter the organization, bar Mr. Anderson from leading any other Washington nonprofit and order Mr. Anderson or Raheem AI to repay the $75,000. The money would then be given to a charity chosen by the judge.
Six minutes. That’s all it took for two men to meet on the F train in New York City—and for their lives to change forever. It began a little after 2 p.m. on Monday, May 1, 2023. Jordan Neely, a homeless black man who suffered from schizophrenia, began screaming on the F train that he was looking for food. According to witnesses, Neely said he was “ready to die.” That he would “kill a motherfucker.” The other riders were scared.
More than five decades ago, a mild-mannered passenger in a business suit boarded a Seattle-bound flight in Oregon under the name Dan Cooper on Nov. 24, 1971. He ordered a bourbon and soda, and once in the air, handed a stewardess a handwritten note demanding $200,000 in cash and four parachutes under the threat of what appeared to be a bomb in his ratty briefcase.
The plane landed in Seattle, and authorities complied with the hijacker’s demand. After refueling, the airliner took off again.

Toronto police have seized more devices that illegally transform semi-automatic handguns into fully automatic machine guns this year than ever before, according to new data shared with CBC News.
A Toronto Police Service spokesperson said the agency has seized 109 firearm auto switches — also known as auto sears — so far this year, compared to 29 in all of 2023 and 32 in 2022.
The small metal or plastic device, roughly the size of a quarter, allows a firearm to shoot “900 to 1,200 rounds a minute,” said Toronto police senior firearm officer Matthew Passmore.
The hunt for a Bulgarian “cryptoqueen” wanted over one of the world’s biggest cases of fraud has spread to South Africa.
Ruja Ignatova, a Bulgarian citizen who was educated at Oxford, is the only woman on the FBI’s top 10 most-wanted list.
She allegedly swindled £3.6 billion out of millions of investors as part of a scam involving the fake cryptocurrency OneCoin.
