What are Canada’s gun ownership laws?

A deadly mass shooting at a school in British Columbia is likely to increase scrutiny of whether Canada’s gun laws should be toughened to prevent further attacks.

Nine people were killed and another 25 injured in the attack at Tumbler Ridge on Tuesday, in a remote part of the country that’s about 415 miles (667km) north of Vancouver. The suspect was also found dead with a self-inflicted injury, authorities said.

Currently, gun ownership in the Canadian provinces is largely federally regulated by the government in Ottawa, and there are stricter laws in place than in most US states.

Ford salutes Poilievre’s leadership result, but says ‘you don’t win elections at conventions’

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre may have secured the overwhelming support of his party in a recent leadership vote, but cautioned that elections are not won on the convention room floor.

Poilievre secured 87 per cent of the delegates in Calgary last month at the party’s convention, pulling in more than what former prime minister Stephen Harper achieved at his own leadership review back in 2005.

“You don’t win elections at conventions. You win elections across the country, so let’s see what happens if the prime minister decides to call an election,” Ford said on Tuesday.

There’s really no point in the Ontario Liberal Party holding a leadership convention now.

Does Driving a Large, Gas-Powered Truck Make You a Gay Nazi? This Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Thinks So.

Journalists are the worst. Even the ones who don’t cover politics are often incapable of writing normal sentences without flaunting their sneering disdain for normal Americans. For instance, you might not believe us if we told you the Wall Street Journal’s Pulitzer Prize-winning auto critic recently compared Americans who enjoy large trucks with gas-powered engines to Hermann Göring, the Nazi commander who founded the Gestapo and whose “martial flamboyance” fueled persistent rumors about his sexuality. But that’s exactly what he did.

Girl, 12, fighting for her life after being shot in head and neck by Canadian school shooter who murdered nine

A 12-year-old girl is fighting for life in hospital after she was shot in the head and neck by a school shooter in Canada.

Maya Gebala was one of at least two-dozen children and teachers wounded when a ‘female in a dress’ opened fire at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

At least seven people were killed in the shooting at the small town in eastern British Columbia on Tuesday in Canada’s deadliest mass shooting in 40 years.

Poor child.

A reckoning for global warming alarmists is past due

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to repeal the Obama-era “scientific” finding that classified carbon dioxide as a threat to public health and welfare, and empowered the federal government to unilaterally, and virtually without limit, regulate the economy.

But when will there be a national reckoning for those who misled us? None of the dire predictions about carbon emissions throwing us into global catastrophe offered by scientists, politicians, or international organizations over the past 50 years have come true. In the end, the endless string of chilling forecasts failed to terrorize people out of modernity.

WENZEL: Stop calling every conservative a ‘radical’

Extremists-Scream-During-Anti-Jewish-Protest-In-Mississauga

I read The Rising Danger of Radical Conservatism in Canada with genuine interest. The anxiety it reflects is real. Political anger is growing, trust is eroding, and too many conversations now begin from a place of suspicion instead of curiosity. That deserves serious attention.

But the article makes a mistake that has become increasingly common in Canadian commentary. It treats conservatism itself as the danger, rather than distinguishing between a political philosophy and the behaviours that can distort it.

Those are not the same thing.

Trump administration says El Paso airspace closure was tied to Mexican cartel drones

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration reopened the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas on Wednesday morning, just hours after it announced a 10-day closure that would have grounded all flights to and from the airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a social media post that it has lifted the temporary closure of the airspace over El Paso, saying there was no threat to commercial aviation and that all flights will resume.

It’s getting easier to imagine another federal election this spring

Elections, like the flu, can sneak up on you.

They may also be contagious. Not even one year since both men won their own elections, Mark Carney and Doug Ford have reportedly been chatting about another federal election this year.

According to The Globe and Mail, citing multiple anonymous sources, the Ontario premier has told the prime minister that he could seize the moment to turn his minority government into clear majority.

Ex-FBI agent reveals reason why no car has been found in Nancy Guthrie abduction mystery

The maze of unlit streets and lack of traffic dome cameras in Nancy Guthrie’s remote Arizona neighborhood would have made it easier for her abductor to take her away in a car and avoid surveillance, a former FBI agent has claimed.

With the search for “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother now entering its 11th day, on Tuesday authorities released footage showing a suspect approaching the door of her Tucson, Arizona, home, but no vehicle has yet been identified as belonging to the alleged kidnapper.

CBC disappointed Carney failed to arrest Netanyahu as he flew through Canadian airspace on way to meet Trump

Netanyahu again flies through Canadian airspace en route to Washington

Online flight trackers show that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew hundreds of kilometres through Canadian airspace on his way to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday — despite Prime Minister Mark Carney previously saying he would honour an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Trump’s world order hangs over Europe on eve of key defence conference

It is one year since US Vice-President JD Vance delivered a bombshell speech at the Munich Security Conference, castigating Europe for its policies on migration and free speech, and claiming the greatest threat the continent faces comes from within.

The audience were visibly stunned. Since then, the Trump White House has tipped the world order upside down.

Allies and foes alike have been slapped with punitive tariffs, there was the extraordinarily brazen raid on Venezuela, Washington’s uneven pursuit of peace in Ukraine on terms favourable to Moscow and a bizarre demand that Canada should become the “51st state” of the US.

Hack linked to gun licensing program was biggest federal data breach in last 5 years: documents

A hack linked to the Canadian program overseeing firearm licences and registration was the largest data breach reported by a federal institution to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in the past five years, according to documents obtained by the IJF.

The single incident accounted for more than half of all people affected by data breaches reported by federal institutions to the privacy watchdog during that period. In total, 3.7 million individuals were affected by data breaches during the time period.

The generational damage ‘abhorrent’ Andrew has inflicted on the monarchy

It is difficult to fathom now, but Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was once a hugely popular figure. A fun-loving playboy who flew helicopters in anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare missions in the Falklands, he was indulged by the public and adored by his mother.

His marriage to Sarah Ferguson was watched by millions and, for all his raucous antics, Randy Andy – as he was affectionately dubbed then – was seen to have more charm and charisma than his serious-minded siblings.
