Quebec, Ontario organized crime groups boost Western Canada vehicle thefts

Quebec and Ontario organized crime members are travelling to Western Canada to steal valuable vehicles and ship them to Montreal for illicit export sales, a new federal intelligence report says.

“Once generally regarded as a regional issue affecting mainly Ontario and Quebec, vehicle theft has expanded to Western Canada, with Alberta’s number of vehicle thefts now nearing that of Quebec’s, despite an approximately 45% lower population base,” says a report by the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC), an RCMP-led national criminal intelligence agency.

Small immigration protest sparks response from five police forces

Officers from five different forces were brought in to police an anti-immigration protest that fizzled out within three hours.

Anti-immigration protesters congregated at 11am outside Bournemouth town hall on Sunday but were met with activists from Stand Up to Racism on the other side of the road in Central Gardens with drums and loudspeakers.

But the stand-off faded into lone echoes of “stop the boats” from the crowd of anti-immigration protesters, who were drastically outnumbered by counter-protesters.

Trudeau government’s policy record speaks volumes

In the past nine years, perhaps no policy has proven to be as harmful for the Canadian society and its economy than the Trudeau government’s immigration policy.

Conventional wisdom suggests that governments defeat themselves. There is a shelf life of every administration because sooner or later the accumulative negatives outweigh the positives and the populous becomes agitated seeing the same faces providing the same excuses. American author Mark Twain summed up this phenomenon rather colourfully when he observed, “Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reasons.”

Tommy Robinson explores his tax options amid HMRC investigation

The far-right agitator’s influence is surging in the wake of the Southport stabbings, but an inquiry into his web of companies may result in a bill for millions

“I f***kin’ need help.” Tommy Robinson was frank when, before the European Parliament elections in May 2019 in which he was standing, he sent a voice note to a friend at a right-wing US think tank.

The previous year, Robinson had been released from prison after serving time for contempt of court offences that almost collapsed the trial of the Huddersfield grooming gang, where dozens of men of Pakistani origin were charged with abusing girls as young as 11.

Since then, he had been on a non-stop campaign against the establishment’s “plot” to silence critics of Islam in Britain. He had been generously assisted by the Middle East Forum, which donated $60,000 towards his rallies and legal fees.

Union speaks out after 3 Toronto police officers injured during west-end eviction

A man is facing several charges after three officers were injured while assisting sheriffs with an eviction late week in Toronto’s west end, say police.

The incident happened last Friday in the Earlscourt neighbourhood, near Caledonia and Rogers roads.

Toronto police said they were called to that area at around noon for reports of a break-and-enter in progress.

Police can’t arrest criminals if the jails are full of rioters, says prison officers’ union boss

Police will be unable to make arrests if prisons are full up with rioters, it has been suggested.

The Prison Officers’ Association (POA) predicts that ministers will be forced to impose new bottlenecks within days to avoid prisons filling up.

That would require triggering Operation Early Dawn, which prevents inmates being taken from police cells to court unless a prison space is available for them.

The ISIS Immigrant: A Rare Occurrence or the Tip of the Iceberg?

Many questions are left unanswered around the foiled alleged terrorist plot in Toronto covered by a publication ban, especially on how one of the suspects obtained citizenship and whether any other similarly inclined individuals could be lying in wait.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this week that departments are conducting a review of the matter and findings would be shared at the “appropriate moment.”

Beware Extremists in Green Hats at the Democratic National Convention

The far-left, anti-Israel National Lawyers Guild has been mobilizing to assist the tens of thousands of protesters expected to hit the streets of Chicago.

If demonstrations unfold as expected at the Democratic National Convention next week, look for an occasional fluorescent-green hat among the protesters. This is the signature headgear worn by National Lawyers Guild (NLG) legal observers, who can often be found attending major left-wing protests in support of the demonstrators. They represent an organization that has long been one of the most deeply radical activist groups in the country and one that harbors a particularly virulent hostility toward Israel. They have expressed that hostility in some truly appalling ways.

How Israel Killed a Ghost

Hezbollah’s commander Fuad Shukr lived a life so secret few knew his name or face before an airstrike killed him and helped put the Middle East on the brink of war

BEIRUT—Fuad Shukr had eluded the U.S. for four decades, ever since a bombing killed 241 American servicemen in a Marine barracks in the Lebanese capital, which it says he helped plan. At the end of July, an Israeli airstrike found him on the seventh floor of a residential building not far away.

The militant was one of the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hezbollah’s founders and most senior operatives, a longtime trusted friend of the leader Hassan Nasrallah who played a key role in developing the missile arsenal that has made Hezbollah the world’s best-armed nonstate militia. For the past 10 months, he had commanded the group’s increasingly intense cross-border skirmishing with Israel.

Paris Olympics: The Day After

Many had dismissed it as a costly indulgence for a nation facing economic hardship, while some condemned it as a dangerous diversion from the deepest political crisis France faces since the 1950s.

And, yet, the two-week long Summer Olympics hosted by Paris is now universally lauded as a success in organizational, artistic, and of course sporting terms. For two whole weeks the usually grumpy French, some of them in civil war mood, sheathed their daggers to have a good time together.

The old ditty that sport unites while politics divides sounded more plausible than ever.

French politics are ridiculous.
