People seem to die around Saed “Styles” Osman.
And when you allegedly fire 70-odd bullets outside a nightclub into a crowd of people, then you can be fairly judged as a homicidal maniac.
Now, Edmonton detectives say, Osman has been charged with an additional murder two years before he allegedly turned a Saturday night into a shooting gallery.
An IT professional and former Royal Marine has been charged after a car was driven into a crowd of people celebrating Liverpool’s Premier League title win.
Father of three Paul Doyle, 53, previously described by police as a white British man from West Derby in Liverpool, was arrested at the scene on Monday.
A total of 79 people, including four children, were injured in the incident on Water Street, near the parade route, just after 6pm.
Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali accepted more than $3,100 in sponsored travel from a Muslim advocacy group for a visit to Jerusalem, where he was photographed praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and voiced criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza, according to new disclosures filed with the federal Ethics Commissioner.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the January 2024 trip, valued at $3,148, was paid for by Canadian Muslim Vote, a group that also sponsored Liberal MP Salma Zahid and New Democrat MP Heather McPherson.
The rumors about Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage won’t go away, and that’s largely because neither of them has bothered to deny them. Despite media portrayals suggesting that Michelle has addressed the speculation, what we keep getting are vague, rehearsed soundbites that avoid saying anything definitive. Her excuse for skipping Trump’s inauguration — that she “had nothing to wear” — was laughable, especially coming from a former first lady with unlimited resources. And her brother’s attempt to vouch for the couple on a podcast only raised more eyebrows.
A man arrested almost two weeks ago for allegedly exposing himself and trying to urinate on strangers in Guelph has been arrested for a third time.
On May 16, the Guelph Police Service received several calls about a man approaching people downtown. They were told he was trying to urinate on people and attempted to grab women while touching himself.
A 26-year-old man was located and then arrested for committing and indecent act and mischief. He was released with orders not to be downtown between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Must be a thing in Guelph…

A South African woman and two accomplices were sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday for trafficking her then six-year-old daughter, in a case that has gained international attention since the child went missing last year.
Kelly Smith, her boyfriend, Jacquen Appollis, and their friend Steveno van Rhyn were convicted of kidnapping and trafficking the girl, Joshlin Smith, after she disappeared from a small township in the Western Cape.
Remember when car thefts were all the rage? News story after news story told us that this form of crime was skyrocketing in Canada: almost doubling in Ontario and Quebec, up by a third in Alberta, and a fifth in Atlantic Canada in 2022. People were flocking to buy newfangled locking mechanisms, and some owners even put retractable steel or concrete bollards in their driveways!
This scourge was indeed worrisome and received significant media coverage, but it has been superseded by another, much more dangerous one that has not been given nearly enough attention: terrorism arrests in Canada.
The government and media play down the threat with the subtext being that you’re a racist for daring to discuss it out loud.
Elon Musk announced that his time working in the Trump administration as a “Special Government Employee” is drawing to a close, and he thanked President Donald Trump.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote in a post on X. “The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
For Yao Zhang, the news came as a shock.
Sexually explicit, deepfake images of her were circulating widely online — an attack that Ottawa blamed on the Chinese government.
It wasn’t the first time Zhang had been targeted by China. Shortly after the Quebec-based accountant-turned-influencer travelled to Taiwan in January 2024 to support its independence, China’s national police paid a visit to her aunt in Chifeng, in mainland China.
Sigh …
What a sight to behold. Chinese billionaire Ruby Liu celebrates in Mandarin as she picks apart the carcass of Hudson's Bay— Canada’s oldest company.

Russia’s 200-metre long floating dock was meant to help Moscow control the Arctic seas.
In service, the vast craft will assist in repairing nuclear-powered ice-breakers, needed to cleave safe passage through the frozen waters around Nato’s northern flank.
But the journey of the craft to its home in the Russian port of Murmansk has been interrupted by British sanctions, the Foreign Office announced on Tuesday.
“You can only control what you can control.”
Those were the words from newly minted Defence Minister David McGuinty Wednesday morning on his way into a cabinet meeting after a reporter asked him to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump’s US$61 billion price tag to join the Golden Dome.
“What we can control here now is decisions around strengthening our sovereignty and our security,” he said.
The Golden Dome, a name that plays off Israel’s Iron Dome, is a project Trump told the Pentagon to pursue. It would employ ground- and space-based weapons to destroy missiles mid-flight.
An undocumented US immigrant has been arrested after he sent a handwritten letter to the government saying he planned to assassinate President Donald Trump, officials said.
The man, 54-year-old Ramon Morales-Reyes, said in the letter he would “shoot your precious president in is [sic] head” before self-deporting back to his native country of Mexico.
He is now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention in Wisconsin with deportation proceedings pending, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
Canada sees surge in temporary foreign workers applying to escape abusive employers
The number of temporary foreign workers applying for open work permits to escape abusive employers has jumped more than 800 per cent year over year in Ontario, a surge advocates say highlights a growing crisis of abuse as immigration cuts and economic uncertainty deepen migrant workers’ vulnerability.
To address exploitation, the federal government in 2019 introduced the Vulnerable Worker Open Work Permit, allowing temporary foreign workers — whose status in Canada is tied to a single employer — to leave abusive jobs and apply for an open permit.
To qualify for one of these permits, migrant workers must show evidence of abuse.
You just know this push came from the lawyers.
An acrid smell hangs over the town of Rodynske. A couple of minutes after we drive into the city we see where it’s coming from.
A 250kg glide bomb has ripped through the town’s main administrative building, and taken down three residential blocks. We’re visiting a day after the bomb struck, but parts of the wreckage are still smoking. From the edges of the town we hear the sound of artillery fire, and of gunshots – Ukrainian soldiers shooting down drones.
Rodynske is about 15km (9 miles) north of the embattled city of Pokrovsk. Russia has been trying to capture it from the south since the autumn of last year, but Ukrainian forces have so far managed to stop Russian soldiers from marching in.
Fiber optic drones are future in the drone warfare. Cable attach for signal and the anti-drone equipment doesn’t work on them. Only the good all shotgun works on everything, even on optic drones. pic.twitter.com/HU0Yc0huLY

Bank of Canada research shows that the federal Liberals’ decision to allow one million foreign students into the country had a “significant” impact in some employment sectors and cost Canadians job and wages.
The latest study confirmed a 2022 employment department report that foreign labour led to Canadian workers being replaced, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
