While UFO sightings in Canada have come down from pre-pandemic levels, Alberta remains near the top reporting provinces.
Those numbers come as the issue of unidentified aerial phenomenon is being taken more seriously by the media and politicians, the latter who have been feeling increasing pressure to investigate them.
Eroding public trust in the RCMP certainly isn’t going to be helped by a recent revelation at Nova Scotia’s Mass Casualty Commission.
That is that there was a now-deleted recording of a controversial phone call between RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and senior RCMP officers in the province that raised questions about political interference by the Trudeau government into the investigation of the mass killing in which 22 people were murdered in April 2020.
In the country that welcomed everyone indiscriminately, from Pakistan as from Syria, from Nigeria as from Somalia, no one feels safe.
“It is getting worse and worse in terms of violent crime, it worries people,” Torsten Elofsson, the former Malmö police chief candidate with the center-right Christian Democrats, says to Financial Times. Once there were only Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. Now you see it in small towns. It’s getting closer and closer to where most people live. Swedes who want their families to be safe are running out of places to hide and move, unless they decide to leave Sweden behind, like some are already doing. They have had enough of living in a once ideal country that recorded 342 shootings in a year – almost one a day.

Magdalena Andersson’s centre-left bloc lost narrowly to a bloc of right-wing parties, 176 seats to 173, with 99% of the votes counted.
Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson is now expected to form a government.
His right-wing grouping includes the Sweden Democrats, a far-right party that has campaigned against rising gang shootings.
It is a huge blow to Andersson’s Social Democrats, which gained votes compared to the last election, and remain Sweden’s largest party.
In a blistering third year of drought, Californians have been asked to limit their indoor water usage to 55 gallons (208 litres) per person per day. It takes about 30 gallons to fill a bathtub, so forget about a deep Jacuzzi experience.
Yet in the gated communities of Calabasas and Hidden Hills – exclusive enclaves in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu – lush lawns and filled swimming pools and koi ponds make it clear that some are ignoring the rules.
So officials have created a device to take power showers away from rich and famous water hogs. A small metal disc with a pinhole drilled through the middle, it has seriously reduced the flow of water into some multimillion dollar homes.
People here call Derek Krauss the ‘water police’.
It’s easy to believe life on Earth is getting ever worse. The media constantly highlight one catastrophe after another and make terrifying predictions. With the never-ending torrent of doom and gloom about climate change and the environment, it’s understandable why many people — especially the young — genuinely believe the world is about to end. But the fact is that though problems remain the world is getting better. We just rarely hear about it.
Migrants bussed closed to Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington DC have scoffed at the idea that the border is closed after she delcared that it was ‘secure’.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent two buses of 101 migrants from Eagle Pass, to the Naval Observatory after crossing the border in an escalation of the ongoing immigration crisis.
One of the migrants told reporters that the border is ‘open’ and ‘everybody belives that the border is open’ in a blow to Harris’ comments and President Biden’s immigration policy.

The man police say killed a Toronto police officer and a Milton mechanic in a multi-city shooting rampage Monday was in 2007 placed on a national “flagging system” for being a “high-risk” to re-offend following a conviction on two counts of robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, police said Thursday.
In an update on their sprawling, multi-jurisdiction investigation, Peel Regional Police provided greater detail about Monday’s shootings in Mississauga and Milton —which killed Toronto police Const. Andrew Hong and Milton auto mechanic Shakeel Ashraf — and about the gunman, 40-year-old Sean Petrie.
President Biden will convene a forum Thursday at the White House aimed at confronting what civil rights groups, local officials and academics say is an explosive rise in extremism and White supremacy that threatens the core of America’s democracy.
The “United We Stand” summit builds on the administration’s push to root out racially motivated domestic violent extremists. The threat sparked a sweeping strategy that included the creation of a specialized Justice Department unit to combat domestic terrorism. Mr. Biden will deliver the keynote address to highlight the administration’s response to hate and “put forward a shared vision for a more united America,” officials said.
This is all about control by the criminalization of dissent. This week in the Globe and Mail of all places an “Expert” informed us that you’re likely a radical extremist if you deny a man can have a baby.
Legendary New York Police Detective and Medal of Honor recipient Frank Serpico has praised the Ottawa Police Service for publicly broadcasting the disciplinary hearing against Detective Helen Grus.

An internal audit by Veterans Affairs Canada suggests the federal government has all but lost control as it shells out hundreds of millions of dollars for veterans’ medical marijuana each year without proper oversight, direction or evidence of health benefits.
Quietly published this week, the audit’s results come amid an explosion in the number of veterans seeking reimbursement for their medical pot, from around 100 in 2014 to more than 18,000 last year — with no end to the surge in sight.
No one ever gets fired for being incompetent. I can see why these public servants merit a holiday Monday.

It was the first time many Ontarians had received an emergency alert on their phones notifying them of an “active shooter.”
The notification, sent at 4:25 p.m. on Monday, said that Peel Regional Police were investigating the situation and a suspect was “armed and dangerous” and in a stolen vehicle. “If seen, do not approach,” it added. What the alert did not include was the location or model of the suspect’s car; a link attached to the message didn’t seem to be working for many residents.
BOSTON (AP) — Federal officials are examining whether the employee who reported an explosion at Northeastern University may have lied to investigators and staged the incident, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
Investigators identified inconsistencies in the employee’s statement and became skeptical because his injuries did not match wounds typically consistent with an explosion, said one official.
The officials could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
