Toronto police closing fewer cases than they did last decade, their own figures show

Before the Toronto police board voted to approve a $46.2-million budget increase request for next year, a police director explained that case closure rates have dropped for most crimes since 2015.

“That’s because investigations take time and effort and resources,” Toronto police director of information management, Ian Williams told the board earlier this month.

But while police say lower closure rates are one reason why they need increased funding, experts are conflicted about whether they’re an accurate measure of police achievement — and whether the figures should be used to justify more resources.

I wonder if that’s due to the “Don’t offend the (insert criminal minority group here) school of policing we see the TPS enacting with the Muslims.

The Biden Health Cover-Up Dwarfs the Wilson and FDR Charades

According to a Wall Street Journal report based on interviews with numerous Biden administration officials and aides, candidate and later President Joe Biden suffered from cognitive decline in his 2020 campaign and from the very beginning of his presidency, which caused campaign aides and White House staffers to limit his public appearances, adjust his schedule, limit his contact with Cabinet officials, shield him from news reports, hire a Hollywood voice coach to help with his “tone,” and take other steps to facilitate a cover-up to hide the President’s failing mental state. If true — and those with functioning eyes, ears, and minds during the past five years have no reason to doubt it — this cover-up of a president’s cognitive decline is the greatest political and presidential scandal — and media scandal — in American history.

I do not attend “Winter Villages” or “Holiday Parties”

WARMINGTON: They call it ‘winter village,’ but it will always be Toronto’s Christmas market

You can take Christmas out of the market, but you can’t change the fact that it’s still a Christmas market.

But they are sure going to try.

Just when you thought the politically correct, woke, cancel-culture world was starting to be pushed back upon comes word Toronto’s most famous Christmas market is actually more of a seasonal market.

They call it the Distillery Winter Village.

Canada records 50,000 opioid overdose deaths since Trudeau was elected

The prevalence of fentanyl in Canada has drawn additional attention after incoming US president Donald Trump cited the drug as part of his justification to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian imports.

Trump has accused Ottawa of not doing enough to stem the flow of fentanyl into the United States and said his promised 25 percent tariff would remain in place until Canadian authorities address the problem.

Ukraine launches robot-only assault against Russian troops for first time

Ukraine mounted its first robot-only assault on a Russian position pushing back military forces despite being heavily outnumbered.

Kyiv’s forces used dozens of remote-controlled vehicles mounted with machine guns as well as unmanned kamikaze drones in the raid near the Ukrainian-held town of Lyptsi, the Ukrainian military said.

The assault also used aerial surveillance and mine-laying drones in supporting roles.

The US town where it’s the law to own a gun

Kennesaw, Georgia, has all the small-town fixings one might imagine in the American South.

There’s the smell of baked biscuits wafting from Honeysuckle Biscuits & Bakery and the rumble of a nearby railroad train. It’s the kind of place where newlyweds leave hand-written thank-you cards in coffee shops, praising the “cozy” atmosphere.

But there’s another aspect of Kennesaw that some might find surprising – a city law from the 1980s that legally requires residents to own guns and ammo.

Tougher Canadian border security may not appease Trump’s tariff threat, John Bolton says

Cracking down on border security may not spare Canada from Donald Trump’s promised 25-per-cent tariffs, his former White House national security adviser says.

John Bolton warns that Mr. Trump is serious about the tariffs because he sees them as good economic policy and not just a negotiating tactic. Last month, the president-elect threatened to impose the taxes against Canada and Mexico until the two countries stop migrants and fentanyl from crossing into the U.S.

Kremlin scrambles to address claims that Bashar al-Assad’s glamorous wife is divorcing him so she can move back to London

Russia scrambled to shoot down claims that exiled dictator Bashar al-Assad’s London-born wife Asma filed for divorce and wants to leave with her children to the UK.

Turkish media dropped a bombshell report on Saturday that Asma al-Assad, 49, was fed up with her asylum in Russia and wanted to build a new life in London. The report claimed she filed for divorce just two weeks after her family fled Syria ahead of a rebel advance into Damascus.

‘No Male Prisoners in Female Jails’ Will Be Policy if He Becomes PM, Poilievre Says

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is speaking out against Canadian legislation permitting male offenders who identify as female to be incarcerated in women’s prisons, after a man convicted of murdering his family asked to serve his life sentence in a women’s prison.

Mohamad Al Ballouz, who now identifies as a woman and goes by the first name Levana, was handed a sentence of life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years at his Dec. 20 sentencing hearing in Quebec for the 2022 murders of his wife and two young sons.

Magdeburg was not a far-Right attack

Last Friday’s atrocity at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany had all the hallmarks of a jihadi attack. It was lethal, indiscriminate and utterly horrifying, transforming a boringly familiar object — a car — into a weapon of mass murder. Jihadist groups have been calling for such attacks for well over a decade now, and scores of their supporters have carried them out with deadly effect. A very similar attack to the one in Magdeburg happened in 2016 in Berlin, when Tunisian-born Anis Amri rammed a truck into a group of pedestrians, killing 12 and wounding 56 others.
