A mother has been instructed to remove “body bags” hanging from a tree after neighbours said the Hallowe’en display was “triggering”.
Caroline Ashley was surprised when a Liverpool City council worker allegedly attended her home on Sept 24 and demanded the removal of decorations in front of her house.
The 41-year-old said the council visit followed a “really upset” neighbour confronting her at home over the “triggering” display.
OTTAWA — Federal Liberals and New Democrats blasted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre Wednesday, saying his statement that Israel should proactively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities is disastrous foreign policy that would contravene international law and quash hope for peace in the Middle East.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told reporters Wednesday that Poilievre’s proposed pre-emptive strikes would trigger a broader war, and suggested he does not want harmony in the Mideast.

Omar bin Laden is the son of one of the most notorious monsters of the modern age, but until recently he was making a peaceful living in the Orne region of Normandy painting landscapes – a far cry from the atrocities perpetrated by his father on Sept 11 2001.
However, the 43-year-old has now been banned from returning to France by the nation’s new Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, who accused him of writing social media posts “glorifying terrorism”.
By failing to learn the lessons of history — that hatred against Jews never stops with the Jews — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have destroyed the credibility of their claim that diversity is Canada’s strength.
… It soon became apparent that these demonstrations — though some within them were motivated by genuine concern for Palestinian suffering at least at the beginning— were in fact being driven by organizers who consider the terrorists of Hamas to be heroes.
Who hate Canada, hate our flag, and hate our way of life even though they were born here or chose to live here.
Kamala Harris had an obvious hot microphone moment during a briefing on Hurricane Milton.
Donald Trump’s campaign and critics on X are accusing the vice president of being fed what to say during the briefing on Wednesday.
While National Weather Service Director Ken Graham was providing information on the storm, Harris could be seen covering her mouth awkwardly and heard saying: ‘It’s a live broadcast.’
BUSTED!!
Kamala is heard telling an aide who is feeding her questions, that it’s a “live broadcast. She then asks the question she was presumably given.

OTTAWA — As the House of Commons remains in procedural suspended animation, Canada’s Opposition leader is standing firm on his pledge to hold the government to account.
During question period on Wednesday, Liberal House leader Karina Gould said the quagmire — triggered by a Conservative privilege motion over the government’s refusal to hand over unredacted documents related to the now-defunct Sustainable Development Technology Canada’s billion-dollar “green slush fund” scandal — should be resolved in the committee room, not the House.
if a Jewish business was attacked like this, every politician in the country would be issuing statements condemning it. Samira has consistently highlighted the presence of the JDL-affiliated gangs at pro-Israel demonstrations. Are the police looking at them? https://t.co/dQZDp5f6rN

While the stated motive is combatting ‘honor-related’ oppression of women, marriages between close relatives are also twice as likely to produce children with genetic disorders.
An investigation commissioned by the Swedish government recommends banning cousin marriages and also proposes making marriages between close relatives—such as an uncle and his brother’s child, or half-siblings—illegal.
The investigation points out that cousin marriages are linked to honor-based norms, and that there is a specific risk of girls and women facing ‘honor-related oppression’ in these marriages. It also highlights that cousin marriages today happen to a considerable extent in Sweden.
Kelowna man pleads guilty to multiple thefts, break ins
A Kelowna man with a criminal record spanning two provinces and two decades pleaded guilty on Monday to a new set of offences.
Saeed Abbas – Sad Muslim
Saeed Abbas, 44, admitted to a four part crime spree, including break ins, the theft of two Dodge trucks, a couple SUVs and even a possession of weapons charge. The criminal acts took place between September 2022 and January 2023, the latter date being when he started his incarceration.
… In making her case, Miller told the court that Abbas has a criminal record that started in 1999 when he was a youth offender in Calgary and since then, has amassed 25 convictions for offences including arson, theft, fraud, robbery, and vehicle thefts. He also has 22 breach charges.
… Miller also pointed out that the pre-sentence report that highlighted the trauma, racism, and poverty Abbas suffered since his parents came to Canada as refugees from Palestine is important to weigh into the equation.
With less than four weeks left to go until election day, the race for the White House is as close as ever.
Nationally, Kamala Harris remains a couple of percentage points ahead of Donald Trump – a lead she has had since she entered the race at the end of July.
But the US election is won and lost in the handful of states where both candidates stand a chance of winning – those known as the swing states.
Monster storm Hurricane Milton left a path of destruction across Florida overnight, leaving several people dead and 3million without power as it heads for Orlando and onward to the Atlantic.
The first casualties were reported even before Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm around 8:30pm EST (1:30am BST), bringing ‘catastrophic’ flooding, 120mph winds and several twisters – some of which proved lethal.
After making landfall, Milton began rumbling east, ripping up everything in its path before ripping apart the roof of Tropicana Field, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team in St. Petersburg.
