What we know so far about the accused in the Laval daycare bus crash

The man arrested in a deadly bus crash at a Quebec daycare is currently detained in jail awaiting his next court date, according to Crown prosecutor Audrey Roy-Cloutier.

What motivated the attack, which left two children dead and another six injured, is still unclear.

The accused is facing nine charges: two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and four counts of assault with a weapon causing bodily harm.

What are the odds of a ‘happy family man’ and ‘good neighbor’ who’s ‘never shown signs of distress’ going off like that?

Rupa Subramanya: Roxham Road another failure for Trudeau’s ‘post-national’ government

As social services in Canada continue to be stretched to the breaking point, the government of prime minister Justin Trudeau continues to roll out the red carpet to legal immigrants, a whopping 500,000 per year starting in 2025. While I believe ​​this number is too large for Canada to absorb, it’s the government’s right to pick an immigration target so long as they’re in power. However, what is problematic is that Trudeau and company since November 2021 have once again begun welcoming illegal migrants who’re seeking asylum or refugee status entering the United States, not from another foreign country.

Roger Waters’ UN Speech, Like Meddle, Best Experienced on Acid

“I’d like to be home with my monkey and my dog,” a woman, following a cacophony of voices commenting on fish, repeats immediately prior to the standout track on Roger Waters’s 1987 album Radio K.A.O.S.

“I don’t care,” disc jockey Alan Ladd interrupts. “Shut up! Play the record.”

When he finally does, a glorious sound silences all the bizarre nonsense talk. “Home,” the best number of Waters’s post–Pink Floyd career, combines dated, very-’80s period instrumentation, the great Clare Torry of “Great Gig in the Sky” fame providing a Floyd feel, and the lyricist’s characteristic way of lulling listeners with hypnotic verbal and sonic patterns before snapping everyone out of it with a jarring “When the cowboys and Arabs draw down at noon in the cool dusty air of the city boardroom” climax.

Turkey earthquake: Why did so many buildings collapse?

The sight of newly constructed apartments collapsing in the earthquakes that hit Turkey has sparked anger. The BBC examined three new buildings, turned to rubble, to find out what they reveal about building safety.

Two major earthquakes – measuring 7.8 and 7.5 on the magnitude scale – flattened buildings of all kinds and killed thousands of people across southern Turkey and northern Syria.

But the fact that even some of the newest apartment blocks crumbled to dust has led to urgent questions about building safety standards.

Terry Glavin: Deference to Beijing a hallmark of the Trudeau Liberals

It was a peculiar exchange that betrayed quite a bit about the Trudeau government’s entanglements with Beijing’s various friends and interlocutors in Canada, and it was doubly awkward, coming at a time when the Liberal government is trying to give the appearance of acting on what it claims to stand for in the matter of refugees, the global traffic in slave goods, and Xi Jinping’s sadistic throttling of democratic life in Hong Kong.

Nets Ignore Hearing on Twitter’s Hunter Biden Laptop Story Censorship

On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee grilled former Twitter executives over their censorship and suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, with two of the executives even admitting it was a mistake to have suppressed the story and suspended the New York Post for publishing and posting it on their platform. Predictably the three broadcast networks ignored the story.

Fury in Ukraine as Elon Musk’s SpaceX limits Starlink use for drones

A senior Ukrainian presidential aide has reacted with anger after Elon Musk’s SpaceX said it had taken steps to prevent its Starlink satellite communications service from controlling drones, which are critical to Kyiv’s forces in fighting off the Russian invasion.

Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s chief operating officer, said at a conference in the US that the surprise decision had been taken because it had never been the company’s intention to allow Starlink to be used “for offensive purposes”.

Baldwin already settled with the family in October in a separate civil suit — the terms of which were not publicly disclosed — and it’s not immediately clear what the grounds are for the new suit.
