Copy Cat Threat Inspired By Ottawa Nutter? ‘Credible’ Morrissey assassination threat prompts rocker to cancel Boston, Connecticut shows

 

British rocker Morrissey has cancelled two shows in New England after his team said there was a “credible threat” to assassinate him onstage — a move that came days after an Ottawa man was charged over an alleged online death threat tied to the singer’s Sept. 12 festival set in Canada.

The canceled concerts were set for Friday at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., and Saturday at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway.

A wide range of legal specialists have said that U.S. military attacks this month on two boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea were illegal. But Mr. Trump has claimed that the Constitution gave him the power he needed to authorize them.

6 in 10 Canadians say they can never trust Americans the same way again

Canadians are not feeling the trust with their neighbours south of the border after months of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs against Canada, new polling by Ipsos conducted exclusively for Global News has showed.

Six in 10 Canadians (60 per cent) say they can never trust the Americans the same way ever again, the poll found.

“It looks to me, based on these data, that Canadians feel that their relationship with the United States has changed in a fundamental way,” Ipsos Public Affairs CEO Darrell Bricker said.

Our MSM has been busy with the US versus Trump narrative today.

Carney must have some awfully putrid news he’s hoping to perfume.
