Melanie Ward remembers the moment she learned her son was dead with haunting clarity.
“I just dropped to my knees and screamed,” she said.
Her son, Alexander Circiumaru, was on his way to an appointment in downtown Hamilton earlier this year but never made it.
The 19-year-old was shot multiple times in broad daylight on March 6 in what Hamilton police believe was a targeted attack. Circiumaru was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The people surrounding Joe Biden blame Nancy Pelosi for Kamala Harris’ election loss as Democrats have begun to bicker over who caused the party’s disaster.
It came as the president, 82, reacted to Harris’ concession speech at Howard University Wednesday.
The blame game went into overdrive last night, as Biden confidants told senior White House reporters they hold the former Speaker of the House responsible for him leaving the race.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says he wants city council to pass a bylaw to keep Hindu and Sikh protesters away from each other after violent and raucous protests in the Ontario city.
The municipality’s move comes amid rising concern about foreign interference in Canada and as several other suburban centres impose buffer zones for houses of worship to shield them from heated protests by demonstrators responding to rising geopolitical tensions.
Sikh Canadians are mainstream Canadians. What the hell are you talking about?
You immigrated to Canada recently, spend your time infiltrating the local rightwing media by saying borderline racist stuff, and have zero connection to the country whatsoever.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris’ stinging defeat is personal — because it’s just as much a defeat for them as it is for her.
The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump’s entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent’s campaign in 2016. They continued to spread the lie for the duration of his presidency, awarding each other Pulitzers for it. And they’ve only ramped up their efforts since then.
This is funny.
Holy crap – he got owned

RCMP in Quebec say they have prepared contingency plans in case of an influx of migrants from the United States after Donald Trump’s victory, as Quebec Premier François Legault and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet raised fears about asylum claimants streaming into the province.
Mr. Legault warned about “turbulence” at the border, saying Wednesday that he expects a stream of asylum seekers from the U.S. and arguing that the capacity of Quebec to integrate new arrivals had already been exceeded.

Hmmm
The issue of huge numbers of undocumented migrants was crucial to #USElection2024
Yet @cibc's Benjamin Tal reminds us there are also one million temporary residents in Canada on expired visas. And Ottawa is unable remove them.

It’s funny since the issues with the Democrats were explicitly clear: Biden should never have been elected, Kamala, like Joe, was grossly unpopular and unqualified, and the Democratic Party can’t communicate to working-class voters anymore. Was there a tight window for Kamala to define herself after Democrats launched a coup that forced Biden out of the race in July? Sure—it was 107 days, but more than enough time to make her case. The problem, again, is that she didn’t because she didn’t have the bandwidth to make it happen. The 2020 primaries weren’t a mirage, folks—Kamala is truly that awful.
A healing message of unity …

Former Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan defended the attempted rescue mission of Sikhs during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying it was part of a government policy of evacuating vulnerable individuals to Canada that had been discussed months before the fall of Kabul.
Sajjan, who is currently minister of emergency preparedness, said during a Nov. 5 appearance before the Commons Defence Committee that the government had planned to evacuate “vulnerable communities” such as women leaders, journalists, LGBTQ2+ individuals, and persecuted religious minorities, “which included Sikhs and Hindus.”
The father of Sara Sharif denied beating the ten-year-old and said during the trial for her murder that it was his wife who was “crazy” and had “black magic” done on her, a court has been told.
A video recorded by Urfan Sharif, a taxi driver, of his wife Beinash Batool’s allegedly abusive behaviour showed him jumping out of their window after claiming she locked him inside.
In my last column, I predicted Donald Trump would win decisively on election night.
In my view, the writing was on the wall. For others, it wasn’t so clear.
Based on the strong reaction I received to that prediction, it’s clear this was a minority opinion — especially within the Canadian media sphere. As a result, I want to dive into three of the more underappreciated factors behind Trump’s victory and why so many failed to see the indicators that pointed to it.
Pro-Palestine activists stole the wrong statue in a raid on a university after mistaking a professor for Israel’s first president.
Palestine Action stole two busts from the University of Manchester, claiming they depicted Chaim Weizmann.
Weizmann served as the first president of Israel from 1949 until his death in 1952.
Pro-Hamas maniacs smashed a display at the University of Manchester and stole a statue of Chaim Weizmann, the first president of Israel.
What kind of twisted mentality do these people have? These people are seriously deranged.

Parliament should penalize companies like Google and Facebook if they fail to identify and control “undesirable or questionable” content on the internet, according to a House of Commons heritage committee report.
The November 2024 report included a recommendation that social media platforms put in place mechanisms to detect content that may be the product of disinformation or foreign interference. The report said the platforms should be required to “promptly identify such content and report it to users” and that a failure to do so “should result in penalties,” as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
American women have vowed to never date, marry, have sex or have kids with men in an attempt to take back control after Donald Trump was elected President, including one woman going so far as shaving her head.
Millions of Americans were glued to the TV on the night of November 5 as they watched in shock as Trump pulled off a jaw-dropping political comeback and regained his seat in the White House.
Trump’s defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris marks a startling return for the twice-impeached president who was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records and left the office in 2021 on the heels of claims that he ignited an attack on the US Capitol.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh told reporters Wednesday morning he believes a lot of Canadians woke up this morning feeling “afraid” of President Donald Trump’s presidential victory.
“I think a lot of folks woke up today, really worried, really afraid, felt crushed,” said SIngh.

A valuable lesson was taught early on Wednesday morning, Nov. 6, 2024, when it was declared Donald J. Trump has been elected to be the United States of America’s 47th president.
Only time will tell if those who were taught this lesson will learn anything from it.
Democrats and the media aren’t taking the election results well after former President Donald Trump made a triumphant White House comeback complemented by a new GOP majority in the Senate.
Leftist supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris posted videos of themselves crying about the results on the internet, while the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC reflexively blamed racism for the Democrats’ historic loss.
Day of reckoning
