Indigo vandalism probe not influenced by Heather Reisman’s calls to Toronto’s top cop, Ontario judge rules — but chief should still explain it

An Ontario judge has found there is “no evidence” the Toronto police investigation into vandalism at an Indigo store was personally influenced by the company’s CEO — but said it’s reasonable to ask the police chief to explain why he twice spoke to Heather Reisman in the incident’s immediate aftermath.

In a decision released this week, Ontario judge Philip Downes shut down a sweeping legal application filed by lawyers for six of the so-called Indigo 11, which sought reams of additional police and financial records in order to mount a Charter challenge of their criminal charges.

Dirty pants on washing line recorded as non-crime hate incident by police

Police recorded a soiled pair of underwear hung on a washing line as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI), it has emerged.

In September 2021, a woman complained to North Wales Police that her neighbours had “hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line” for the past two months.

The force recorded it as a hate incident because the complainant had an Italian surname and the underwear was first put on the washing line in July that year. That month, Italy defeated England on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final of football’s European Championships.

Far-right extremists have war plans, Windsor terrorism trial hears

A terrorism trial in Windsor to determine whether a local man sought to join and support a banned neo-Nazi group is shining a disturbing spotlight on far-right extremism in Canada.

Seth Bertrand is on trial before Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia for “participation in the activity of a terrorist group.” Arrested in May 2022 following an RCMP-led undercover operation, Bertrand, now 21, is accused of seeking to join the Atomwaffen Division, listed in Canada and other countries as a “terror group” that has called for acts of violence.

Thousands of Islamists and their useful idiots are regularly taking over our streets in cities across Canada but yeah let’s make a Big Deal about that 1 guy in Windsor.

Jailbreak fears as prison maps are leaked on the dark web

Security officials are investigating a major leak of detailed prison layouts amid fears they will be exploited by criminals to smuggle drugs and weapons into prisons or used to aid an escape.

Emergency security measures have been deployed at multiple jails across England and Wales after the blueprints were shared on the dark web over the past fortnight. The schematic plans are also understood to include the location of sensors and cameras.

Prison officials believe that organised crime groups are behind the leak in order to help them deliver drugs into prison yards and cells via drones, or even to facilitate an escape.

Justin Trudeau’s shameless giveaway plan is incoherent, unnecessary and frankly embarrassing

Quick, someone tell Doug Ford: Now’s your chance to secure federal billions for a tunnel under Highway 401.

I kid, I kid. But it is hard not to escape the extremely Fordian air of the emergency policies announced on Thursday afternoon by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. A $250 one-time vote-buying cheque? Liberals were mocking the Ontario Premier’s plan for $200 handouts, right up until they decided to steal the idea. Instead of its euphemistic title of Working Canadians Rebate, they might as well have called it Our Last Shred of Dignity.

What do Massachusetts, New York, and Colorado have in common? According to the nonprofit Global Refuge, they’re all considered “sanctuary states.” Unfortunately, something else they all have in common is that some of the migrants they’re harboring have been arrested for attacking women, children, and dogs in recent weeks.

Aaron Pete: Pretendians in the cabinet? Stop blaming the people playing the Indigenous identity game, start blaming the broken system that creates the incentives

Grey Owl – Archie Belaney – A visionary!

The phenomenon of individuals with fabricated Indigenous ancestry—colloquially referred to as “pretendians” or “wannabindians”—benefiting from claims to Indigenous identity was is in the news again this week, with Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages Minister Randy Boissonnault stepping down from the Trudeau government’s cabinet for falsely claiming he was Indigenous.

It is time to stop blaming the people chasing incentives and start targeting the broken system that creates the incentives.

Ontario Human Rights Nazis fine Emo Township for refusing Pride proclamation

The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has found the township of Emo will have to pay damages after refusing to proclaim Pride Month back in 2020.

Borderland Pride requested Emo to declare June as Pride Month and display a rainbow flag for one week but the township refused, resulting in a years-long process in which the tribunal ruled against the township.

The tribunal ruled Borderland Pride will be awarded $15,000, with $10,000 coming from the township itself and the other $5,000 coming from Emo mayor Harold McQuaker.

Hungary invites Netanyahu to visit as world leaders split over ICC arrest warrant

Hungary’s illiberal prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has said he will invite his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, to visit in defiance of an international criminal court arrest warrant, as world leaders split over the ICC’s momentous decision.

The world’s highest criminal court issued warrants on Thursday for Netanyahu, his former defence minister Yoav Gallant and the Hamas commander Ibrahim al-Masri, commonly known as Mohammed Deif, who is believed to be dead, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Orbán, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency and who has previously said he would not arrest the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who is also wanted by the ICC, called the court’s decision “outrageously brazen” and “cynical”.

Jamie Sarkonak: Trudeau’s cynical GST ‘holiday’ that no one asked for

At this point, the taxpayer experience is a bit like that of a seagull being thrown fries in the McDonald’s parking lot. The Liberals behind the wheel get to throw delicious chunks of potato out the window, delight at the sound of the masses squawking in thanks and drive off when the urge to be generous has been satisfied. They’re out of money for more combo meals but it doesn’t matter — they can just put it on the credit card, anyway.
